Besides the ?Messiah? ?Theodora? is Handel?s only oratorio with a Christian theme. In contrast to the ?Messiah? ?Theodora? which was composed in 1749 and premiered in 1750 in London takes a dramatic plot as its basis. The setting for the action is Antioch during the time of the Emperor Diocletian.The Christians refuse to take part in the heathen sacrificial cult preferring to die a martyr?s death. The plot concentrates on the virtuous Theodora whom the Roman governor wants to compel to become a heathen sacrificial victim through forced prostitution. The Roman officer Didymus who is in love with ?Theodora? and hasconverted to Christianity through her rescues her from the Temple of Venus at which point both are sentenced to martyrdom by the governor.?Theodora? is regarded as Handel?s most tender oratorio. The Christians? choruses and arias convey muted colours and Theodora?s arias are distinguished particularly through their moderate to slow tempi and their vocal inflection lost in reverie. In dramatic contrast with this are the stirring arias of the governor Valens and the choruses of the heathens who pay homage to their gods Jupiter and Venus. As so often Handel borrowed musical material from other composers which he elaborated into expressive arias and choruses here. In particular the final chorus of the oratorio which is similar to that in Bach?s ?St. Matthew Passion? in terms of expression is referred to in literature again and again. Handel himself felt that ?Theodora? was his most significant work.- First complete critical edition based on the Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition.- Includes all versions.- Full score (BA4085) & vocal score (BA4085-90) available for sale performance material (BA4085-72 available for hire.

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,

Violin 3 Solo-Concerto in F major for 3 Violins Strings and Basso continuo TWV 53:F1 Tafelmusik IIIf Telemann was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the greatest of all composers his star faced with the overwhelming presence of Bach and Handel paled in the course of the 19th century to the verge of contempt. This assessment changed radically during the course of the last century. Through the systematic exploration of his music Telemann once considered purely an instrumental composer has emerged into a highly cultivated culturally well-connected and enormously versatile artistic personality who left an indelible mark on the musical life of his time. Again andagain we discover an individual approach in his works that seems to abandon the musical conventions of his day both large and small.The Tafelmusik (Musique de Table) is a collection of chamber pieces for various ensembles arranged into 3 parts and is perhaps Telemann's most celebrated collection of music. Composed in 1733 the Tafelmusik clearly demonstrates Telemann's skill in handling a diversity of musical genres and a variety of instruments.- Urtext of the Telemann Edition

Les arias de Pachelbel , des concertos vocales et magnificat à grande échelle ont reCu peu d'attention jusqu'à présent .Musiciens d'église et musicologues ont longtemps souhaité une édition critique de ces travaux importants , qui survivent dans le manuscrit de Pachelbel et ont été en grande partie composé de ses principaux lieux de travail , Erfurt et Nuremberg.
