Missa B-flat Major Hob.XXII:14 'Harmony Mass'Urtext from: Joseph Haydn WerkeIt is well known that Joseph Haydn wrote his late masses to the commission of his last employer Prince Nicolaus II Esterhazy. The 'Harmoniemesse' is the last of these high masses all of which probably received their first performances in celebration of the name-day of Princess Maria Josepha Hermenegild the prince's wife. The present work was given for the first time on 8 September 1802 in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt Haydn himself conducting.Haydn entitled his work simply 'Missa'. The work has acquired the name 'Harmoniemesse' by reason ofthe prominent parts given to the wind instruments ('Harmonie' being a contemporary name for a wind band); the nickname did not become established until the late nineteenth century.Full score and parts (BA4659) vocal score (BA4659-90) and study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP97) available for sale.

B-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. This Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the first and most straightforward of four litanies which Mozart composed from 1771 to 1776 in Salzburg. Its light instrumental scoring - only the 'church trio'' of two violins and continuo, with trombones used merely to reinforce the choir - suggest that this piece was intended for Marian devotions in the small Court Chapel of Schloss Mirabell. / Hymnes et chorals / Date parution : 2001-05-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 ViolonS Basse Contin

Sinfonia Und Kantate. Par BACH WILHELM FRIEDEMANN. Eine - bis auf den Schlusschoral - rein solistische Pfingstkantate des ältesten Bach-Sohnes ist eine lohnende 'Ausgrabung', da man Wilhelm Friedemann, wenn überhaupt, dann vor allem als Instrumentalkomponist kennt [Konzerte, Sinfonien, Orgel- und Cembalomusik]. Der Kantate vorangestellt ist eine ebenfalls aus Bachs Hallenser Zeit stammende dreisätzige Sinfonia, die mit ihren 2 Oboen und Hörnern bestens geeignet ist, in die festliche Pfingstkantate einzustimmen. Auch als eigenes Orchesterstück ist die Sinfonia ein attraktiver Programmpunkt./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Oratorio on passages from the Holy Bible and the Catholic liturgy. Franz Liszt’s “Christus” is an attempt to capture in music the life of Christ from his birth to his Passion and Resurrection thereby following in the tradition of Handel’s biblical oratorios. Despite the familiar subject matter Liszt was concerned less with depicting Jesus’s deeds than with producing an object of meditation. To this end he employed a full array of musical devices to create a work abounding in sharp contrasts: symphonic textures alongside simple hymns modal harmonies alongside bold chromaticism and varied combinations of voices and instrumentsalongside purely instrumental groupings. David Friddle’s new edition is the first to publish the original text of “Christus” on the basis of all available sources. His extensive introduction also sheds light on the performance practices of Liszt’s day. Our vocal score contains a German translation of the original Latin as a guide. - First Urtext edition of this work. - Straightforward easy-to-play piano reduction. - Duration: approx. 175 minutes. - Full score (BA7680) and vocal score (BA7680-90) for sale; performance material (BA7680-72) for hire.

Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration.A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement.Compatible with Vocal score H 2924-90.Dvo ák?s Requiem for soloists choir and orchestra is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber Orchestra based on the full score from the Complete Edition of the Works by Anton n Dvo ák.The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single Horn; all that remains of the Percussion arethe Timpani; the Organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and Bass Clarinet parts can be replaced by an Oboe and Clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts).This arrangement which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvo ák?s original orchestration makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.

Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn describes to his friend Klingemann the 1840 work as 'a ?symphony for chorus and orchestra?? First three symphonic movements, to which 12 choral- and solo- movements are appendaged; the words from the Psalms, and indeed all pieces, vocal and instrumental, are composed in the words ?Everything which has breath, Praise the Lord?; one understands by this that first the instruments give praise in their own way, and then the chorus and the individual voices.' / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Solistes [SST], SSAATB et Orchestre

Great Credo Mass-The Missa K.257 bears the non-authentic dating 1776 and was presumably composed at the end of 1776 or in the first half of 1777. Like K.262 (246a) it is designated in Leopold Mozart?s handwriting as a Missa longa on the cover page of an early composite manuscript containing the five masses in C major. K.257 is listed there as the last work. The designation ?Missa longa? was intended to point out that this was an extensive full-scale mass. Normally it would have been called a Missa solemnis but Mozart for unknown reasons did not make use of this customary nomenclature.The name ?Credo Mass? is taken from the acclamations of ?Credo? that constantly interrupt thelike-named movement. The Mass is remarkable for its density of invention within the narrowest of confines. Further its instrumental accompaniment has an almost chamber-music quality that emerges time and again into almost symphonic proportions. Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?

Joseph Martin Kraus [1756–1792] composed his Requiem in 1775at the age of 19 for the parish church in his hometown of Buchen Odenwald. This followed the Miserere of 1773 and is the second of his surviving sacred compositions. Already in this early work Kraus shows that he was a representative of the musical “Sturm und Drang.” With all its youthful unconcern towards compositional technique this music displays his seriousness and strength of expression together with a dark instrumental timbre as well as an abruptness or at times brusqueness. The publication of the Requiem in the Complete Edition is the first historical and critical edition of the work

Oratorium. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829. He integrated chorale settings into St. Paul, for which he was accused by his contemporaries of making a stylistic break, using an element unsuitable to church music. In spite of these reservations, during Mendelssohn’s lifetime St. Paul was one of his most popular works, which received numerous performances throughout Europe. Robert Schuman praised the “inextinguishable color of the instrumentation” and the “brilliant play with all the forms of composition. ” He described it as a “jewel of the present. ” / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
