Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee vom Himmel fällt (Like as the Raindrops and Snow from Heaven fall) BWV 18 Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae, Leipzig Version. These editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach's output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasionssuch as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then. - Performance material vocal score & study score available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

For alto, flute and basso continuo, ed. by A. Knipschild Mi palpita il cor HWV 132 is a secular cantata dating from the years 1706-1710, which the young Handel spent in Italy. This work is known in three different versions, all of which had been published in the 19th century as part of the Händel-Gesellschaft edition. This new edition gives priority to the setting for alto and obbligato flute (HWV 132c) transmitted in several contemporary copies.

Edition de Gerald Hoekstra In 1597 the Antwerp printer Pierre Phal? issued what was to be his last new anthology of chansons, Le Rossignol musical des chansons for the enjoyment of those who delight in singing in the French tongue. Like his great madrigal anthologies of the 1580s, this collection for four, five, and six voices exhibits a wide variety of secular song styles of the time. Texts range from the conservative and somewhat moralistic to the risqu?nd playful, and musical styles from the homophonic, rhythmic manner associated with the Parisian chanson to the more polyphonic and expressive style of the Italian madrigal. Composers include local Antwerp musicians such as Pevernage and Cornet, Netherlanders working abroad such as Rogier and Monte, and Frenchmen such as Le Jeune and Caignet. Although a few of the pieces had been published previously, most are unique to this print. Table des mati?s :Dedication to the 1597 Edition, by Pierre Phal?The Four-Part Chansons 1.

(The Four Seasons). Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands, with Handel and J. S. Bach, as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular, he was without serious competition, the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works, includingforty-nine operas, he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement, / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Fanfare
