Singapura Suite was commissioned by Singapore's Ministry of Education Extracurricular Activities Branch to serve as a compulsory piece for the 1999 Singapore Youth Festival.Singapura is the original name of Singapore in Malay, the native language there. Because Singapore is one of the most important harbors in the world, this two-piece work opens with a seaman's dance. An authentic melody, Chan Mali Chan, is woven into the middle of this first part, whose ABA form becomes clear through the recapitulation of the seaman's dance in a somewhat altered form.Singapore is also a dynamic city-state alive with excitement, thus the second part begins with a fitting dance, a fastbourrée. As contrast there is a second authentic melody, Dayung Sampan, a more easygoing sailing song. This short but curious suite ends in high spirits with a recapitulation of the beginning.

‘Singapura’ is de oorspronkelijke naam van Singapore in het Maleis, de originele taal van deze stadstaat. Omdat Singapore een van de belangrijkste havens ter wereld is, opent de componist met een ‘zeemansdans’. Ook de authentiekemelodie Chan Mali Chan is te herkennen. Het dynamische aspect van Singapore wordt verbeeld in een snelle bourree, gevolgd door een contrasterend authentiek en rustig bootslied: Dayung Sampan.

Das Werk Singapura Suite wurde vom ‚Singapure’s Ministry of Education Extracurricular Activities Branch‘ (Ministerium für Erziehung, Kultur und Sport, Singapur) als eines der Pflichtstücke für das Singapur Jugendfestival“ 1999 in Auftrag gegeben.Singapura“ - das ist der malaiische Name der Bewohner Singapurs, es ist die Sprache der Eingeborenen. Weil in Singapur einer der wichtigsten Häfen der Welt ist, öffnet dieses zweiteilige Werk mit einem Seemannstanz. Eine authentische Melodie, Chan Mali Chan, wird in den Mittelteil dieses ersten Teils eingeflochten, dessen A-B-A-Form durch die Wiederholung des Seemannstanzes in einer etwas veränderten Form deutlichwird.Singapur ist auch ein dynamischer und lebendiger Stadtstaat, und deshalb beginnt der zweite Teil mit einem passenden Tanz, einer schnellen Bourrée. Als Kontrast hierzu erklingt eine zweite authentische Melodie, Dayung Sampan, ein sehr leichtes, gelassenes Matrosenlied. Diese kurze, aber kuriose Suite endet sehr ausgelassen mit einer Wiederholung des Anfangs.

Singapore, la citt del leone, è uno dei più importanti crocevia dell’Asia. Singapore mischia abilmente le culture provenienti dalla Cina, dalla Malesia, dall’India a quelle occidentali. La musica tradizionale è l’immagine delle molte etnie di questa citt -stato. I due movimenti di questa composizione si ispirano a canti tradizionali della Malesia. Il primo movimento sviluppa quattro canti tradizionali di carattere contrastante e contrastato. Il secondo movimento è basato sui canti Lenggang Kangkung e Katang Lompat, che, come d’abitudine in oriente, descrivono animali e l’ambiente in cui vivono legandoli a simbolismi, e un canto tradizionale in occasione di matrimoni. I duemovimenti di questa rapsodia non sono legati tra loro, rendendo possibile eseguirli separatamente.

The now-published volumes 9 and 10 have presented a special challenge, for particularly in the field of the chorale arrangements the transmissions are more complex than in any other group of works. This ties in with the crucial question of Bach's authorship, which has been the subject of much controversy in the past. There were heated discussions about it even just prior to our edition, and editors and publisher are aware that the present selection is a thoroughly debatable snapshot. More on this in the volumes' text sections. The situation of the chorale partitas is not quite so dramatic, whereby these holdings also had to be subdivided for reasons of transmission into main section, appendix, and online presentation. The so called ,,Neumeister-Chorale are incorporated in the group of the separately transmitted chorale settings in alphabetical order, because the compilation of the pieces does not follow any collection idea of Bach (such as, for example, his larger late collections). The indication ,,Neumeister-Sammlung should facilitate the attribution. Those works requiring further research, besides of some versions, are presented online, since their profile reveals less evidence of the true author. Breitkopf has given the world a splendid edition of the organ works of Bach. These final two volumes offer a wealth of chorale-based music benefiting from the very latest research. Aside from the edition's obvious scholarly merit, a practicing church organist will love the convenience and variety of these volumes. Recommended without hesitation.(Jonathan B. Hall, The American Organist).
