Festival March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.
Festival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert.  Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it.  The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music.  .

Reinhard Keiser, highly regarded by his contemporaries as a composer (primarily of operas), also wrote a considerable number of sacred works, such as cantatas, masses, passions, and oratorios. Among these works, most of which are lost, this Dialogus von der Geburt Christi, published here for the first time, occupies a special place as Keiser's only surviving Christmas oratorio. It is a an alternative to the current Christmas repertoire. Opulently scored, well-known Christmas chorales are presented, while in other movements the intimacy of the scene at the crib is evoked. The colorful and finely nuanced instrumentation is contrasted with freely flowing, easily singable choral movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1038600.

Composed by Heinrich Schutz. Edited by Bettina Varwig. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. New Schutz Edition 1. Revised new editon of BA 1709. Complete edition, Score. SWV 435. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA05953_01. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA05953-01).

ISBN 9790006497652. 27.7 x 19.6 cm inches. Language: German. Preface: Varwig, Bettina.

In volume 1 of the New Schutz Edition Friedrich Schoneich presented the Historia der Geburt Jesu Christi. He had to accept that one source was considered lost. The volume was published in 1955 and, of course, Schoneich edited it within the framework of the musicological standards of his time.

For her new edition, Bettina Varwig has now been able to take all known sources into account including the first print, copies of parts of the work which have come down to us in the Duben Collection, as well as the score copy from the music archive of the Berlin Sing-Akademie, which had been known only from fragmentary copies until it had been returned from Kiew. This enables a fresh view of the Historia on how it presumably was performed. The edition maintains the original note values and generally follows the editorial principles of the New Edition of the Complete Works.

The Introduction centrally deals with the question how the Historia was performed at Christmas 1660 in the Dresden Schlosskirche and how it can be realised today. Also the scoring for singers and instruments (Evangelist movements versus concertante movements) is being appropriately discussed. Three appendices enable a greater understanding of the source traditions of the work which are documented in detail in the Critical Commentary and whose readings are critically examined there.

Replaces BA1709.
