In 1729 Bach took over the running of the Collegium musicum in Leipzig, founded by Telemann, and continued the tradition of giving concerts at least once a week with this ensemble in Zimmermann's coffee house or, in the summer, in the coffee garden there. The compositions which were probably composed for performance there include Bach's famous Coffee Cantata. The cantata is only superficially about daughter Liesgen's addiction to coffee, in fact it is really about her strict father Schlend rian's educational efforts, which ultimately remain ineffective - but only in Bach's cantata. In Picander's printed libretto it seems as if Schlendrian might prevail, and only in Bach's cantata, which includes two movements setting additional text, is there a twist to the contrary. Might Bach's experiences as a father have come into play here?

Transsylvanië is de oude naam voor de huidige regio Zevenburgen in Roemenië. Transylvania is de titel van deze suite met vier dansen uit de Balkan, waarvan de temperamentvolle muziek en variabele ritmiek beroemd is. Het werk begintmet een Vranje, een dans in een 9/8-maat, genoemd naar een stad in het noordoosten van Siberië. Vervolgens klinkt het Macedonische volkslied Aide Jano. Een dans met een zeer verfi jnde, melancholische melodie, die voortdurend ineen licht veranderde vorm herhaald wordt. Deze dans houdt zijn rust door een gelijkmatig, vloeiende 7/8-maat. De derde dans is een Biserka, een ritmische en licht swingende Servische dans in een gematigde driekwart. Tot slot de dansTransylvanian Joe, een romantische dans uit Zevenburgen. Deze dans begint langzaam, maar stijgt in tempo en dynamiek om tenslotte uit te monden in een luide, krachtige en virtuose fi nale.Transsylvanien ist die Heimat des berüchtigten Grafen Dracula und auch der Titel dieser Suite aus vier Tänzen aus dem Balkan, dessen Musik für ihre temperamentvolle und variable Rhythmik berühmt ist. Zuerst erklingt ein Vranje, ein serbischer Tanz im 9/8-Takt. Darauf folgt das mazedonische Volkslied Aide Jano mit einer sehr feinsinnigen, melancholischen Melodie, die fortlaufend in leicht veränderter Form wiederholt wird. Der dritte Tanz ist eine Biserka, ein serbischer Tanz im gemäßigten Dreiertakt, der trotz seiner relativen Gemächlichkeit betont rhythmisch und leicht beschwingt gespielt werden sollte. Zum Schluss erklingt der rumänische VolkstanzTransylvanian Joe, der sich in Tempo und Dynamik bis hin zu einem kraftvollen, virtuosen Finale steigert. La Transylvanie est surtout connue l'étranger par association avec le légendaire vampire Dracula. Dans cette région cachée au milieu de la Roumanie, les traditions rurales et les folklores roumains comme hongrois sont particulièrement vivants. Transylvania de Helmut Quakernack est une suite de quatre danses et airs de danse des Balkans (Vranje - Aide Jano - Biserka - Transylvanian Joe). La musique est gaie, virevoltante et pourtant pleine de mélancolie et de nostalgie. Difficile de résister au charme balkanique.

In many parts of the world, Advent and Christmas carols have become part of the standard repertoire of popular songs, and this tradition has also produced a large number of such songs in German-speaking countries. These include not only folk songs, some of unknown origin, but also art songs in various styles, as well as movements from popular classical Christmas works. This diversity is reflected in this first volume of German-language Christmas carols, which brings together carols from a broad range of eras, origins and styles. The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for “sound†to create the portmanteau word “sound together†or “harmony.†The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.

Solo claves usher in the authentic Latin percussion section that sets the style for Pico Rivera. A simple but effective bass line joins the percussion section in establishing an interesting accompaniment for the syncopated melody that follows. Rich harmonies that utilize a variety of seventh chords dominate the second theme and the stop time percussion fills that open the coda. A brief modulation brings us to a restatement of the opening melody with a new countermelody in the trumpets and horns. Pico Rivera is a city in Southern California that has a long tradition of producing excellent bands.

Perseus is the famous Greek hero who saved Princess Andromeda,as she was about to be sacrificed to the sea monster Kraken.

The music is full ofdrama and it is easy to imagine the dark underworld as monstersbattle to survive. The members of your band can sing the choirparts, adding to the fun of this epic tale! Satoshi Yagisawa werd voor zijn compositie ge nspireerd door de film Clash of the Titans, die is gebaseerd op de mythe van de Griekse held Perseus. Dirigent Yasuhara zei over Perseus: “De mogelijkheden voor de jongeblazers zijn eindeloos. Het is een groot genoegen om ze in aanraking te zien komen met een prachtige compositie en ze samen te zien groeien door middel van muziek.â€Perseus ist eine Auftragskomposition einer japanischen Schule mit einer großen Gesangstradition. Getreu dieser Tradition schrieb Yagisawa ein sehr gesangliches, träumerisches Thema für sein Werk über Perseus, welcher der griechischen Sage zufolge in einem Kampf gegen ein Seeungeheuer die Prinzessin Andromeda rettete. Vom Kinofilm Kampf der Titanen inspiriert, schuf Yagisawa ein dramatisches Werk mit Gesangeinlagen (von einem Chor oder Musikern zu singen), das tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen wird.

The Ukrainian Dmitri Bortniansky (1751-1825) received lessons at the local singing school in his hometown of Hlukhiv, and soon his extraordinary talent was recognised. He was somewhat of a child prodigy, writing his first opera at a young age. Following his studies Bortniansky was appointed court composer and Kapellmeister of the Imperial Chapel Choir. In the period that followed, he wrote - in addition to a number of operas, instrumental works, and a cycle of songs - more than a hundred religious works for a cappella choir, in which he combined Russian-orthodox and Ukrainian traditions with late 18th century European music. The appealing melody of Ich bete an die Macht derLiebe (Prayer to the Power of Love) became well-known, especially in Germany, in combination with German text by Gerhard Tersteegen. This arrangement by Michael Bilkes reflects the atmosphere of the original work very well. Die Chormusik des russischen Komponisten Dmitri Bortniansky zeugt von großem technischen Können und reflektiert zugleich ein tiefes spirituelles Verständnis. Die Melodie zu Ich bete an die Macht der Liebe erlangte mit dem Text von Gerhard Tersteegen besonders im deutschsprachigen Raum einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad. Die vorliegende Blasorchesterbearbeitung von Michael Bilkes gibt die Stimmung des Originals sehr gut wieder.

This brief a cappella choral miniature is a reflection on the Transfiguration of the Lord, a Scripture passage observed by many Christian traditions just prior to or during the season of Lent (as well as on the Feast of the Transfiguration, August 6). Set in a largely homophonic texture, the piece sparkles with occasional unexpected and delightful chords highlighting the wonder of the Transfiguration.

Dixit Dominus (Ps 109), a psalm setting for double choir, is one of Vivaldi's most significant sacred works. In it, he takes up the old Venetian polychoral tradition, combining its compositional techniques with those of the instrumental concerto, the cantata and the opera. The broadly conceived cycle of movements, consisting of eight psalm verses and the doxology, is characterized by an expansive arch of tonalities connecting the two framing outer movements in D major (these are also thematically related): Dixit Dominus and Gloria Patri. The contrasting and varied inner movements are perfect examples of Vivaldi's skill in vividly portraying linguistic figures in music. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.4000700.
