Par GLAZOUNOV ALEXANDER. Glazunov' s compositions are often noted for their distinctive emotionality and underlying heroic mood. This also applies to the known organ works of this Russian master, all of which bear the characteristic traits of the Russian symphonic style: epic breadth and monumentality as well as a close proximity to folk music, all combined with supreme contrapuntal skill. This Urtext edition contains not only the well-known Prelude and Fugue in D major op. 93 (1906), Prelude and Fugue in D minor op. 98 (1914) and Fantasy op. 110 (1935) but also the Prelude and Fugue in D minor op. 62 (1899), an expressive piano piece presented here in a revised transcription for symphonic organ by B. L. Sabaneyev (1909). - New Urtext edition of the complete organ works plus a historic transcription - Detailed Foreword (Russ/Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Eng)/ Répertoire / Orgue

Niels W. Gade. Works Iv-9. Par WILHELM GADE NIELS. Works for Mixed Choir Niels W. Gade. Werks Volume IV/9 Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817& 1890) Works Edited by the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade, Copenhagen Niels W. Gade is one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century. However only about half of his prolific œ uvre has appeared in print. Given this fact and the growing current interest in Gade, there is an urgent need for a scholarly-critical Urtext edition of his music to meet the demands of both scholars and performers. This edition will contain all of Gade's completed compositions and separate movements as well as the arrangements he madeof his own works and those of other composers. In general, the main text presents the ; definitive version based on Gade's personal copy of the printed work. However, all the remaining sources have also been consulted for purposes of comparison. Every editorial decision is mentioned and justified in the critical report (English). Gade's interest in choral music spanned his entire career. This volume presents more than 40 of his shorter works for mixed chorus, both without and with accompaniment (piano, organ, harmonium or, in one case, brass ensemble). They occupy a no less prominent place in his oeuvre than his large-scale choral works with orchestra. Written between 1839 and 1885, they were intended for many different areas of application: songs for school chorus stand alongside liturgical music, pièces d'occasion, chorales and freely composed works for amateur choirs. The best-known are his Five Songs (op. 13) on poems by Emmanuel Geibel and Ludwig Tieck and the motet O du, der du die Liebe bist, both composed in Leipzig in 1846./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte

3 Chorale Fantasias, Chorale Variation, 6 Hymn Settings. Par PRAETORIUS MICHAEL. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) a seulement atteint l'âge de 50 ans, mais a laissé une remarquable richesse des compositions et des traités. D'un point de vue musicologique, il prend une fonction centrale comme médiateur entre la tradition allemande bien établie de la musique d'église protestante et le nouveau monodique, style concertante de composition italienne au début du XVIIe siècle. Après sa formation musicale apparemment self-instructed, il a conclu son premier emploi comme organiste à St. Mary à Francfort/Oder en 1587 et plus tard à la Cour de l'évêque amoureux de la musique de prince Henry Jules de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Après la mort de ce dernier suivi instables et énergie-sapement ans. Musique d'orgue des Praetorius couvre exclusivement cantus firmus : trois fantaisies choral qui fascinent par leur variété de style, une paire de variations avec une technique de figuration riche et les modalités de leur composition novatrice hymn six.

The central significance of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562?1621) for the evolution of baroque ?clavier music? can hardly be overestimated. Yet all the currently available editions of his works stand in need of revision. Our new scholarly-critical performance edition, prepared by the experienced editor Siegbert Rampe , closes this gap. It is the first complete edition of Sweelinck?s keyboard works to distinguish between ?works of secure authenticity? , ?works of uncertain authenticity? and ?works of questionable authenticity?. It is also the first to present alternative readings in synoptic form and to separately reproduce variant versions.

The bilingual edition (German and English) is scheduled to appear in four volumes and incorporates the latest findings of musical scholarship. Each volume contains a critical report, a catalogue of sources, and a de tailed preface covering not only the volume?s scope, layout and editorial technique, but also performance practice, ornamentation and Sweelinck?s biography.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. 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 mainsection, appendix, and online presentation. The so called ?Neumeister-Choräle? 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. / Date parution : 2021-11-25/ Recueil / Orgue

Done with great taste, in a perfectly simple and straightforward manner, Liszt's piano transcriptions of Bach's organ music became the classic models for all future works in this genre. Includes 6 Organ Preludes and Fugues (BWV 543-548) and the world-famous Fantasia and Fugue in G minor (BWV 542). Content : Organ-Fantasy and Fugue in G Minor (BWV 542 • S463) Six Organ Preludes and Fugues Prelude and Fugue in A Minor (BWV 543 • S462/1) Prelude Fugue Prelude and Fugue in C Major (BWV 544 • S462/2) Prelude Fugue Prelude and Fugue in C Minor (BWV 545 • S462/3 Prelude Fugue Prelude and Fugue in C Major (BWV 546 • S462/4 Prelude Fugue Prelude and Fugue in E Minor (BWV 547 • S462/5 Prelude Fugue Prelude and Fugue in B Minor (BWV 548 • S462/6 Prelude Fugue

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In this volume with the Toccatas (and Fugues) as well as individual works the Swiss organist Jean-Claude Zehnder has amply proven his mettle as a Bach specialist here. Of particular interest in this book is the Canzona in d BWV 588. Written before 1707, this early work is found in a contemporary copy by Johann Gottlieb Preller with embellishments, fingerings and a closing cadenza - this version is printed in the Appendix. Similarly, the print of the early version of the Passacaglia BWV 582 is likely to meet with great interest. Online you will find early versions, further ornamented versions, and pieces that can no longer be attributed to Bach as the Kleines harmonisches Labyrinth BWV 591 and the Prelude in G BWV 568./ Recueil / Orgue

Par COCKER NORMAN. Angelus; Trio; Interlude and Paean The reissue of four pieces by Norman Cocker, celebrated organist of Manchester Cathedral in the inter-war period, further extends Stainer & Bell's library of English Cathedral music that also includes the complete solo works of Basil Harwood and pieces by Darke, Hollins and Bairstow. Detailed registrations by Henry Ley, himself a noted performer and Music Director of Eton College from 1926 to 1945, are of historical interest. Angelus, Trio and Interlude offer episodes of quiet reflection. Paean breaks the mood with flowing, euphonious counterpoint in ceremonial style./ Recueil / Orgue

tomo III. Par GABRIELI ANDREA. The Concerti di Andrea, et di Gio: Gabrieli [. . . ] continenti musica di chiesa, madrigali, et altro, per voci, et stromenti musicali, à 6. 7. 8. 10. 12. et 16 were published posthumously in Venice in 1587. Vol. III of this four-volume critical edition includes fourteen 6-, 7- and 8-part madrigals. Undoubtedly, these materials were largely conceived for use on special occasions – though, to date, it has been possible to identify nothing but an invitation to a banquet, a composition in praise of an unspecified «Sienese gentlewoman», and a homage to Henry of Valois who, in 1574, passed through Venice en route from Poland to his coronation at Reims as king of France. ThePreface, in English and Italian, historically contextualizes the repertoire, briefly describes the poetic texts (discussed in greater detail in vol. III of the Historical and Critical Introduction to the Complete Works), and provides a panorama of the compositional techniques applied by Gabrieli to this variegated sequence of madrigals, which include several «dialoghi» and other double-choir compositions. / Classique / Date parution : 1905-07-09/ Répertoire / Choeur

The importance of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562?1621) to the clavier music of the baroque era can hardly be overestimated. This scholarly performance edition by Siegbert Rampe is the first to present all of his keyboard works while distinguishing between?works of certain authenticity?, ?works of uncertain authenticity? and ?works of doubtful authenticity.?

The seven volumes of this edition, with commentary in German and English, stand at the cutting edge of musical scholarship. Volumes III.1 and III.2 contain, for the first time, all the chorale settings attributed to Sweelinck or handed down under his name.

Volume III.1 presents ten additional chorale and psalm settings and many facsimiles.

A detailed preface covers the sources, the music, the choice of instruments, and questions related to performance practice.
