Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy as letter-writer: at the heart of 19th century European culture

As one of the most important letter-writers of the 19th century, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy maintained an extensive correspondence. With great style and eloquence he wrote letters to friends and family, letters from his travels and he also wrote to leading composers, musicians, artists as well as publishers. He corresponded with famous contemporaries such as Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner as well as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Carl Friedrich Zelter and Alexander von Humboldt.

The correspondence begins in 1816 and ends in 1847 with the composer’s death. These letters are invaluable documents shedding light not only on the genesis, publication and revision of his musical works, but also on a period when relations between Christians and Jews still had a chance to become harmonious, as Moses Mendelssohn, the imminent scholar and grandfather of the composer had advocated.

This edition will therefore be of great interest far beyond the circles of musicologists and music specialists. It will appeal to those who are interested in the history of culture and ideas and to those who perceive Mendelssohn and his family as representatives of a unique, diverse cultural epoch.

The complete correspondence shows that Mendelssohn not only went on to become one of the leading figures of German musical culture in the 1840s, but that he also maintained a network of musical contacts throughout Europe.

The edition of the complete letters
This scholarly-critical complete edition comprises 5,855 letters by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Previously only a small part of his correspondence had been published and made accessible to the public. The complete edition is based on Mendelssohn letters which have been compiled over decades by Rudolf Elvers as well as on international research carried out by an academic workgroup in Leipzig spearheaded by chief editors Helmut Loos and Wilhelm Seidel. They determined 500 additional letters hitherto unknown.

Versions of the letter texts have been compiled from a scholarly-critical analysis of the sources, their historical context has been discussed and comments on all points in need of explanation have been made.

This edition of the complete letters consists of 12 volumes and a CD-ROM. Each volume contains indices of mentioned individuals and institutions, compositions by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Fanny Hensel as well as a register of place names and currencies. In this way one obtains an all-encompassing view of this unique historical cosmos.

The Complete edition has been produced to the highest standards in terms of layout, cover and binding. It is an ideal collector’s item for bibliophiles, providing an excellent means for studying the composer and the period in which he lived.

The CD-ROM forms a valuable addition to the printed volumes. It offers the complete printed edition in the form of pdf. files, thereby making its approximately 9,500 pages digitally accessible and enabling letters and the corresponding commentary to be read in parallel. All terms can be located quickly and conveniently via a full text search.
(The 12 volumes as well as the CD-ROM can only be purchased complete).

Christmas Oratorio in Two Parts. Composed by Joseph Leopold Eybler. Edited by Karl Michael Waltl. Arranged by Paul Horn. Violin 1. Sacred vocal music, Oratorios, Christmas. Individual part. 40 pages. Duration 80 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 97.007/11. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.9700711).

ISBN 9790007238933. Text language: German.

Joseph Leopold Eybler had frequent contacts with the great composers of his day: both Joseph Haydn and Albrechtsberger were his teachers and friends, and he had a close friendship with Mozart and Johann Michael Haydn. His major Christmas oratorio Die Hirten bei der Krippe zu Bethlehem (1794) was composed four years before Haydn's Die Schopfung (The Creation). The almost operatic work displays a wealth of different facets: from the virtuoso aria, through the tranquil depiction of nature in music, to the portrayal of the most heartfelt emotions. As a true jewel of Viennese classicism, Die Hirten (The Shepherds) is a worthwhile addition to the Christmas repertoire. Score and part available separately - see item CA.9700700.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra violist Randolph Kelly had premiered Adler's Viola Concerto in 2000, but the orchestra's artistic management preferred that he not perform a contemporary work for his next solo appearance. With that guideline, Kelly contacted Adler, the master of orchestration, to arrange the Brahms Sonata in F minor, Opus 120 for viola and orchestra. In this new setting, The piece promises to bring the lush romantic strains of the famous sonata to a larger audience without upsetting the purists.

In het jaar 2013 worden de gebroeders Grimm herdacht naar aanleiding van de sterfdatum - 150 jaar geleden - van Jacob. Samen met zijn broer Wilhelm verzamelde hij wereldberoemde sprookjes als Roodkapje, Doornroosje, Sneeuwwitje en Repelsteeltje, enstelde ze op schrift. De gebroeders waren allebei werkzaam als taalkundige: hun grote betekenis voor de Duitse taal in het algemeen wordt wereldwijd erkend. Het baanbrekende werk dat zij op taalkundig gebied verrichtten, omvat onder meer desamenstelling van een woordenboek. Jacob publiceerde bovendien een uitgave over de Duitse grammatica.
Vier sprookjes van Grimm staan centraal in dit ‘Singspiel’, dat is geschreven op initiatief van de Bläserphilharmonie Rhein-Main. De gebruikte nieuwe tekstversie is van de hand van de Finse schrijfster Anni Komppa. Het sprookje De gouden sleutelopent als het ware op symbolische wijze de drie overige verhalen - respectievelijk Roodkapje, Repelsteeltje en Doornroosje. Het ‘sleutelmotief’ wordt tot klinken gebracht via een verfijnde en ‘rinkelende’ instrumentatie. De originele verhaallijnenworden grotendeels gevolgd, maar het geheel is ingekort om de uitvoerbaarheid niet uit het oog te verliezen. Zang en gesproken tekst wisselen elkaar voortdurend af, en ook het orkest heeft een belangrijke rol, zodat het geheel gevarieerd is quainhoud én qua klankkleur. Ook puur muzikaal is er veel diversiteit in dit werk te beleven: van lieflijk tot angstaanjagend, van dromerig tot bombastisch en grotesk, van schilderend tot triomfantelijk... de fantasiewereld die in sprookjes wordtopgeroepen bevat inderdaad vele facetten.
Het werk ging in première op 29 september 2013 in het Duitse Hanau, in een uitvoering door solisten, een groot kinderkoor en de Bläserphilharmonie Rhein-Main, onder leiding van Jens Weismantel. Het is opgedragen aan Anni Komppa en JensWeismantel.
Deze compositie kan ook zuiver concertant uitgevoerd worden en biedt daarnaast mogelijkheden voor een (half )scenische aanpak.
De Nederlandstalige versie is van de hand van Fred Brouwers.

In diesem Singspiel, das zu Ehren des 150. Todestages von Jacob Grimm im Jahr 2013 komponiert wurde, wechseln Gesang und gesprochener Text einander fortlaufend ab und auch das Orchester spielt eine wichtige Rolle, sodass das Gesamtwerk inhaltlich undklanglich abwechslungsreich ist. Es war einmal ... kann auch konzertant aufgeführt werden und bietet außerdem Möglichkeiten für eine (teilweise) szenische Umsetzung.

Klavierpartitur + 20 Chorstimmen

Es war einmal ... (Il était une fois) s’inspire de quatre contes de Grimm : La Clé d’or, Le Petit Chaperon rouge, La Belle au bois dormant et Le nain Tracassin. Chants et narration alternent sans interruption, tandis quel’orchestre joue un rôle capital dans cette pièce au contenu et aux sonorités très variés : sons harmonieux ou terrifiants, ambiance rêveuse, majestueuse ou grotesque, climat pittoresque ou triomphant... Cette composition, qui peut être interprétéeinstrumentalement, se prête également une mise en scène partielle. Les textes sont en allemand et en flamand. Les parties de narration, chorale et orchestrale sont en location. Pour plus de détail, merci de nous contacter.

In quest’opera buffa che è stata composta per ricordare il 150° anniversario della morte di Jacob Grimm nel 2013, il testo cantato e quello recitato si alternano continuamente. L’orchestra riveste un ruolo importante creando un brano completo, concontenuti e melodie molto variegate. Es war einmal … può essere rappresentato anche in forma sinfonica e offre anche delle possibilit per una (parziale) trasformazione scenica. Il testo per la voce recitante è disponibile al momento in fi ammingo etedesco, quello in lingua inglese è in preparazione.

Inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

Organist of Gloucester Cathedral from 1896 till his death in 1928, as well as composer, choir-trainer, adjudicator and teacher, Sir Herbert Brewer was involved for over three decades with the Three Choirs Festival, and his Memories of Choirs and Cloisters offers a vivid account of the planning and execution of the festivals in that time, those at Gloucester in particular.

Though his professional life was spent exclusively in the provinces, his championing of contemporary music brought him into wide contact with composers and other artistic figures both from Britain and the continent, including Robert Bridges, Elgar, Glazunov, Rider Haggard, Parry, Quiller-Couch, Ravel, Saint-Saens and Sibelius (whose Luonnotar he premiered). John Morehen's fine new edition places Brewer's lively and insightful recollections of these and other encounters and connections in context for the modern reader, making the book an important addition to our fuller understanding of a remarkable period in British music.

Neither a conventional autobiography nor a diary, but a collection of reminiscences compiled towards the end of his life, Brewer's Memories reveals a scrupulous and astute musician of great integrity, warm-hearted with a devotion to social justice and civic duty, and with a mischievous sense of humour.

ISBN 9780852499344.

This, the ninth of a series of books begun in 1983, contains Brian Wren's 36 most recent hymns (2009 to 2012). It is nicely presented and laid out in a user-friendly way. The hymns are divided into five thematic sections: Jesus from Cradle to Cross; Easter Hymns; Church and Mission; Praise; and Metrical Psalms. This last section, rooted in (though not bound by) the Old Testament, is often influenced by Isaac Watts and will be of more use to some than others; it concludes with a tremendous rendering of Psalm 8; a paean of praise which all will love, set to a stirring tune.

Each section is prefaced with a single page introduction listing the contents and, in some instances, giving an interesting insight into Brian Wren's theology and thinking which provides food for contemplation. Each hymn is printed in words format with all the necessary information for inclusion in an order of worship. Every hymn is also printed with full score music for accompaniment interlined with the words. The book is slightly larger than A5, and there are various useful indexes.

The tunes range from ancient to modern, some very familiar, including Candler (better known as Ye Banks and Braes). A number are of a metre where alternative tunes are available. Those tunes which are new vary in ease of use; some will be readily picked up, others would prove challenging for occasional use in a small congregation but could be used as music group items.

These are hymns which need to be read as a whole and require thought. The words are chosen with care and notable as much for those not used as those included e.g.: 'Christ, untameably alive,/ breathe your life upon us - / Compass, Governor and Guide, / with us and beyond us,/ Sky and Sunlight, / spreading Vine./ Spring of Living Water,/ Truth and Wisdom, Way and Word,/ here, and then hereafter.' These hymns will be useful in worship as either sung or read pieces, and will also prove an invaluable resource for private devotion.

In 1827, shortly after a stay with Thibaut in Heidelberg, Tu es Petrus was composed, an echo of his contact with the style of Palestrina. Mendelssohn himself considered the work, which uses and artful and strictly contrapuntal development of the motif, the most successful piece of that year.
