Christmas cantata. Composed by Christian August Jacobi. Edited by Tobias Nicolaus. Also Hat Gott Die Welt Geliebet. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Christmas. Single Part, Organ. Composed 1708. 8 pages. Duration 19 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 10.369/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.1036949).

ISBN 9790007190576. Key: F major. Language: German/English.

The Bach contemporary Christian August Jacobi is among those composers who made a lasting impression among 18th century Middle German composers, since the influence of the Thomaskantor himself was limited primarily to Leipzig. Jacobi's cantatas are richly varied and they not too difficult to perform. Five of the six movements of the Christmas cantata Also hat Gott die Welt geliebet for soli, choir, strings and basso continuo are based on Luther's Christmas chorale Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her, which give the work a traditional character (the text of the first movement is based on the Gospel of St. John). The richly varied instrumentation and alternation between choral movements and duets by the soloists bring to the sound of the cantata a variety which will also be enhanced by the use of the harp (ad libitum). Score and part available separately - see item CA.1036900.

Built from primitive sounding rhythms and modal harmonies, this intriguing work opens with an ominous introduction that leads into the first statement of the main theme. Educational opportunities abound in this energetic piece, including some easy two-part counterpoint between the 1st violins and 2nd violins/viola. Primitivo, which is correlated to Orchestra Expressions Book 1, or to most first year method books, is certain to capture the imaginations of students and audiences alike! (2:10).

Fanfare Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-0890140-020

Composed by Dizzy Stratford. Applause Series. Original Light Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1989. De Haske Publications #DHP 0890140-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0890140-020).

This composition by Dizzy Stratford symbolises the birth of the new Russia in the time of Mikhail Gorbachev with its new openness in public affairs (glasnost) accompanied by political and economic reform (perestroika). Glasnost is a work offering a modern vision of Russian music. Dizzy Stratford has chosen to combine the national hymn of the Soviet Union with two traditional melodies which, with a steady, energetic rhythm portray the wind of change and freedom in Russian society.

Die Geschichte des Leidens und Sterbens unseres Heilandes Jesu Christi nach der Beschreibung des Evanglisten Marcus. Composed by Gottfried August Homilius. Edited by Uwe Wolf. This edition: Complete edition. Gottfried August Homilius - Selected Works. German title: Markuspassion Ga 10. Sacred vocal music, Passions, Lent and Passiontide. Choral Score. HoWV I.10. Duration 140 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 37.110/05. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3711005).

ISBN 9790007132538. Language: German.

Gottfried August Homilius belongs to the last generation of composers of the 18th century who, in addition to the popular Passion oratorios, continued to write oratorio Passions using biblical texts. From his pen a Passion for each of the four Gospels has survived. With sensitive arias, unusal orchestral sound and expressive turba choruses Homilius translated the traditional Passion to his times. It was surely not a coincidence that in Hamburg Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachr resorted primarily to the Passions of Homilius, especially the St. Mark Passion, which he first performed in an abridged version in 1770 and whose music he employed in 14 of his 21 pasticcio Passions. Score available separately - see item CA.3711000.
