The date of composition of the cantata Lobe den Herren, meine Seele can only be conjectured. However, several indications suggest an early composition, possibly during Kuhnau's stay in Zittau. The work is one of only two known cantatas by Kuhnau in which cornetti are scored - the second work is the cantata Christ lag in Todes-Banden (PB 32034) -, even so in combination with three trombones as an early baroque wind section. In addition, the musical texture of the introductory Sonata can certainly be understood as a reminiscence of the polychorality known from the Renaissance and early Baroque as well as their connection with the basso continuo era, since four strings and bassoon on the one side and five wind instruments on the other side face each other over a continuous continuo part. The text of the cantata is a selection of a few verses from Psalm 103. This is the larger scored cantata with this textual basis; parallel to it exists a smaller scored one for alto, bass, violin, oboe d'amore and continuo.

The composer wrote of his work as follows: In the music of Hungary, folk songs are manifestly of great importance, on the other hand our ancient airs and dances play a modest role. For this work I have been influenced by dances of the 17th century, written by unknown amateurs in a relatively simple style. Most of these dances were recorded between the 14th and 18th centuries under the usual form of tablature notation. My interest in this music was first captured in the 1940s. I was so fascinated that I decided to give these melodies new life. I fitted the little eight-bar dances together into ternary and rondo forms, and leaning on early Baroque harmony and counterpoint, Iattempted a reminiscence of that atmosphere of the provincial Hungarian Baroque.

So schrieb der Komponist über sein Werk:

In der ungarischen Musik sind natürlich die Volkslieder sehr wichtig, doch die alten Melodien und Tänze spielen in unserer Musik eine geringere Rolle. Für dieses Werk habe ich mich von Tänzen des 17. Jahrhunderts anregen lassen, die von unbekannten Dilettanten, also ziemlich einfach, geschrieben worden waren. Die meisten waren in der zwischen dem 14. und 18. Jahrhundert geläufigen Tabulaturschrift notiert. In den vierziger Jahren begann ich mich erstmals für diese Musik zu interessieren. Ich war davon so fasziniert, dass ich mich entschloss, sie wieder zum Leben zu erwecken. Ich fügte die kleinen achttaktigen Tänze zu dreiteiligen undRondoformen zusammen. Ausgehend von der frühbarocken Harmonik und Kontrapunktik habe ich mich in einer Art ungarischen provinziellen Barocks versucht.“.

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Septet is the first major work written for this combination of instruments, and the pioneering process was greatly enjoyed by the composer: “While the instrumentation of the Septet provides an almost orchestral palette, and it was interesting to explore that, I love the idea of seven artist-performers, each of whom can be a stunning virtuoso one moment and a thoughtful partner the next, and I relish the electricity that results from those shifting roles.” Septet was written for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio and the Miami String Quartet, to whom it is dedicated. String parts available on rental. For advanced ensembles. Duration: 24’.
Writing music is a labor of love for me.  My greatest joy is writing for performers whom I can be sure will not only deliver the notes accurately, but will project the meaning behind the notes.  To have performers in the wings who will bring their own imagination and deep understanding to a performance is an inspiration to me.  So I approached the writing of my Septet for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio and the Miami String Quartet with great anticipation and pleasure.The fact that there is no model for such a Septet made the pre-composition process a most enjoyable exploration.  I liked the idea of having two strong ensemble personalities in the mix, and I thought that there must be some sort of challenging interchange at the outset.  The first movement, “Introductions,” (note the plural) starts with the piano trio throwing down the gauntlet and the string quartet entering quietly, but gradually (almost one by one) joining with the trio to make a true septet with multi-faceted relations.  The second movement, “Quasi una Passacaglia,” is based on a repeated phrase pattern.  Part of the formal design is a contrast between “Baroque” style performance and modern, more romantic ways of playing.  “Games,” the third movement, involves much playful interplay and the fourth movement, “Au revoir,” offers both reminiscence and farewell – not “good-bye,” but “until we meet again.”Throughout the piece, two of my persistent fascinations are explored: firstly, my interest in designing initial material that can evolve into large-scale form, and secondly, the pleasure I take in chamber music.  While the instrumentation of the Septet provides an almost orchestral palette and it was interesting to explore that, I love the idea of 7 artist-performers, each of whom can be a stunning virtuoso one moment and a thoughtful partner the next, and I relish the electricity that results form those shifting roles.

Sinfonia and Caprice is comprised of two contrasting sections. Both sections are characterised by the arrangement of the eight voices into two four-part groups that play in dialogue with each other.The first, slow movement is a Sinfonia in the baroque sense?a majestic opening work. With its dotted rhythms and semiquaver runs, the movement is reminiscent of a French overture. The fast second movement, the Caprice, features an almost unbroken galloping rhythm. In this section an energetic main theme in a minor key plays in alternation with a lyrical subsidiary major theme. The work closes with a triumphant fanfare.

Het werk Sinfonia and Caprice bestaat uit twee contrasterende gedeelten. Het arrangement van beide delen wordt gekenmerkt door de verdeling van de acht partijen in twee groepen van vier, die in dialoog met elkaar spelen.Het eerste, langzame deel is een majestueuze sinfonia in barokke sfeer. Met zijn gepunteerde ritmes en loopjes van zestiende noten doet dit deel denken aan een Franse ouverture. Het snelle twee deel, de caprice, omvat een bijna onafgebroken galopritme. In dit deel wordt een energiek hoofdthema in mineur afgewisseld door een lyrisch ondergeschikt thema in majeur. De compositie wordt afgesloten met een glorierijke fanfare.

Sinfonia and Caprice besteht aus zwei kontrastierenden Teilen. Typisch für beide Teile ist die Aufteilung der acht Stimmen in zwei vierstimmige Gruppen, die miteinander im Dialog stehen.Der erste, langsame Satz ist eine Sinfonia im barocken Sinne, also ein majestätisches Eröffnungsstück. Mit seinen punktierten Rhythmen und Sechzehntelfolgen erinnert der Satz im Charakter an eine französische Ouvertüre. Der schnelle zweite Teil, die Caprice, weist einen fast unablässig durchlaufenden Galopp-Rhythmus auf. In diesem Satz wechselt sich ein markiertes Hauptthema in Moll mit einem lyrischen Seitenthema in Dur ab. Das Werk endet mit einem fanfarenartigen,triumphalen Schluss.

Sinfonia and Caprice se compose de deux parties contrastées. Celles-ci se caractérisent, lâ??une comme lâ??autre, par lâ??arrangement des huit voix en deux groupes de quatre qui jouent en dialogue.Le premier mouvement est une sinfonia au sens baroque du terme - une introduction lente et majestueuse. Avec ses rythmes pointés et ses lignes en doubles croches, ce mouvement fait penser une ouverture française. Le second mouvement, un caprice rapide, se distingue par un rythme galopant presque ininterrompu. Le thème principal en mineur est plutôt déterminé, alors quâ??un second thème lyrique en majeur se fait entendre en alternance. Lâ???uvre sâ??achèvesur une fanfare triomphante.

Composed by Phillip Rawle. Score and parts. Forton Music #FM170. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM170).

ISBN 9790570480692.

A four movement suite for large flute choir. Scored for PIccolo, optional G treble, 4 flutes, alto flute, bass flute, optional contr'alto, optional contrabass, optional subcontrabass. The first movement is a lively Presto, with passages reminiscent of English folk music, impressive fanfares and baroque style passage work. This is followed by a slower more wistful movement with rich chromatic harmonies. The third movement is slower again, with a florid piccolo solo in the central section accompanied by flowing semiquavers in all parts. The final movement is marked 'Dolente' and features rich jazz harmonies in slow tempo. This is a great piece for large flute choirs to include in their repertoire; the inclusion of the largest members of the flute family gives a depth and richness to the chords that is in credible. Suitable for players of Grade 4 upwards.

Although the general dedication to the memory of a great artist does not mention any particular figure by name, the fourth symphony is known to have been motivated by the news of Shostakovich's death and his influence is clearly to be heard. The work opens in a style reminiscent of an Italianate baroque suite. Tolling of bells and clicking of col legno strings during the second movement (Tempus fugit) reminds us of the brevity of existence, while the nostalgia of the work's title characterises the third movement. The dualistic last movement starts in airy mood but is overtaken by a dark and reflective epilogue.

SKU: PL.9229

Composed by Michael Ferguson. Cathedral. Choral, All Saints Day, Children. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9229. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9229).

Michael Ferguson's Justorum animae is a very rich work for the Feast of All Saints. Reminiscent of the baroque monodic style, the solo line is comprised of a blend of syllabic and melismatic passages. The organ accompaniment is lean in texture, offering a crystalline surrounding for the melodic line.
