Harp

SKU: UT.HS-284

Composed by Pellegrino Santucci. Edited by Giuseppe Monari. Saddle stitching. Classical. Ut Orpheus #HS 284. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.HS-284).

ISBN 9790215326460. 9 x 12 inches.

Melodia for Solo Harp/ Alleluja Modo II - Wachet auf for Harp and Organ

This publication gathers together in these three pieces the only compositions by Santucci devoted to the harp, both as a solo instrument and in dialogue with the organ, his favourite instrument.
The little Melodia per arpa, a simple piece having an apparently didactic purpose, does not show the date of composition but, judging by the handwriting of the manuscript, it probably dates back to the period between 1980 and 1990. No other information has reached us as to why the piece was composed.
The two pieces Alleluja Modo II and Wachet auf, both dated 20 March 1993, composed for the unusual duo of harp and organ, are dedicated to Anna Maria Restani, first harp in the orchestra of the Teatro Comunale of Bologna from 1965 to 2002, and to her son Wladimir Matesic, organist and now teacher at the Conservatoire in Trieste. Gregorian chant is the protagonist of the first piece, evoking a Gothic and rarefied atmosphere. The second is instead a blatant tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach (right from the first bars the reference to Prelude no. 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier is clear), through one of his most famous chorales (Wachet auf, ruft uns die stimme), also used by Santucci for numerous other compositions, including Il corteo dei Magi [for trumpet, organ, orchestra and choir, 1986, ms.], still performed in the Christmas concerts in Bologna.

Choral (SATB)

SKU: HL.48180116

Choral Mixed Accompanied. Composed by Marcel Dupré. Leduc. Classical. Softcover. Alphonse Leduc #AL15976. Published by Alphonse Leduc (HL.48180116).

Composed by Marcel Dupre, Laudate is the last of the Four Motets. Written for a mixed SATB and two organs, the lyrics are in Latin and the volume includes all the scores: female soprano and alto, male tenor and bass and the two organ scores. The piece is introduced by the two organs and the male voices are the first to start singing (tenor, followed quickly by the bass). The full SATB then sings together, sometimes alternated by the organs and the organ parts include an outstanding toccata. Laudate is an amazing way to finish this series with a triumphant and glorious celebration of God. The organ scores require some upper intermediate skills, with the knowledge of pedals and the vocal parts, quite demanding, evolve in polyphony and polyrhythm. Marcel Dupre is a French composer and virtuoso organist who won the Prix de Rome in 1914. He became famous when he played the works of Bach in its totality from memory in 1920. He later became the professor of many renowned students at the Paris Conservatoire such as Olivier Messiaen, Jean Langlais and Pierre Cochereau amongst others.

Mixed Choir a cappella

SKU: BT.PMC3677

Mixed chorus a cappella. Composed by Morten Lauridsen. Choral Score. 18 pages. Peermusic Classical #PMC3677. Published by Peermusic Classical (BT.PMC3677).

These two anthems are examples of Lauridsen's style in embryo, as it were, for both were written while the composer was just twenty-seven years old. Both anthems evince the contrapuntal mastery that would prove an enduring featureof the composer's technique. The pure and austere lines of I will lift up mine eyes, an a cappella setting of Psalm 121, evoke ancient organum and the imitative devices of Medieval polyphony. Complex chord structures and elaboratecanonic procedures give O come, let us sing unto the Lord a sense of inexorable forward momentum. The coruscating organ part further enhances the prevailing mood of joy that pervades this anthem. --Byron Adams.

As is often the case with Beethoven's orchestral works, there are several often contradictory sources arising from the material used at the first performance and from the first edition, which call for the knowledgeable assessment of a specialist. Editor Jeremiah W. McGrann takes Breitkopf's original edition as the main source, in spite of the shortcomings caused by a lack of time, and places particular emphasis on the aspect of the organ's figured bass. Two authentic readings have been transmitted, and are thus both printed in the score. The newly revised orchestral material contains a new organ part that has been realized by Siegfried Petrenz and fulfills every requirement for a stylistically authentic performance.

If serveral music lovers and music directors consider this Mass authentic and truly Mozartian (the words of Sir Ludwig von Kochel), then we are also willing to accept it as such. With the publication of the charming Pastoral Mass K. 140, all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's masses were now completely available from Breitkopf & Hartel. In addition to the standard features (piano reduction, organ part, choral score, completely purchasable orchestral material), this Mass has a special extra, namely a supplementary organ part, prepared from the sources, with which one can reconstruct the original performance circumstances in Salzburg (with two organs!).

Thanks to the Mozart specialist Franz Beyer, the cantata Dir, Seele des Weltalls has been completed in its original scoring and with an unerring feeling for stylistic accuracy.

The two introductory and two closing bars added by Beyer along with the full orchestration of the piece allow musicians to discover a Mozart cantata that will ring familiar with many modern-day listeners. - The traditional version by Maximilian Stadler (for soprano solo, mixed chorus and orchestra without organ) continues to remain available.
