Sinfonia dall' opera-Parmi les nombreux opéras de Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868) Tancrède (1813) ne paraît que rarement à l?affiche. Pourtant son ouverture ou « sinfonia » comme on l?appelait autrefois remporte toujours les faveurs du public et est régulièrement jouée par de nombreux orchestres. Les ouvertures de Rossini suivent toutes le style brillant de l?ouverture « à l?italienne ». Elles subjuguent par leur originalité et restent un modèle d?élégance instrumentale en dépit du temps qui passe. Comme la plupart des ouvertures de Rossini celle de Tancrède comprend deux parties : la première d?un tempo modéré un Andante la deuxième au tempo plus rapide unAllegro. On y trouve le fameux et immortel « crescendo rossinien » et quelques thèmes mémorables qui transportent le public. Cet arrangement pour Orchestre d?Harmonie reste fidèle à l?esprit de l?œuvre originale une des pages préférées de Gioacchino Rossini.

This edition is based on the critical edition of The Barber of Seville edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series Works of Gioachino Rossini. But who needs a new critical edition of The Barber of Seville? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. And secondly there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera of great interest to both scholars and performers.Thusthe famous overture which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera Aureliano in Palmira differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in Aureliano in Palmira) which includes two Flutes two Oboes and Timpani or in the scoring for the subsequent opera The Barber of Seville (with just one Flute one oboe and no Timpani).Urtext edition based on the series Works of Gioachino Rossini.All versions and transpositions are included in the appendix to the study score.Singing English translation in the vocal score.Takes into account all original sources including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation.Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini’s personal notational characteristics.Study score contains a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)Full score (BA10506) critical report (BA10506-40) & study score (TP411) available for sale; performance material (BA10506-72) available for hire.

Overture-Enfant prodige Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868) écrit son premier opéra à l'âge de dix-huit ans. À trente-sept ans il termine son trente-neuvième opéra et fait ses adieux à la scène n'écrivant plus que quelques rares pièces. Rossini se consacre dès lors à ses deux passions : l?art culinaire et l'étude du vin et de ses nombreux mystères.Bien que les opéras de Rossini soient aujourd?hui tombés dans l?oubli - à l?exception de quelques rares trésors - leurs ouvertures sont toujours inscrites au répertoire de nombreux orchestres. Les couleurs pétillantes tout en finesse la légèreté captivante des mélodies et une orchestration très efficace leur ont permis d?acquérir unenotoriété indépendante des opéras qu?elles introduisent. Composée en 1813 l?Ouverture de L'Italiana in Algeri (L?Italienne à Alger) contient toutes ces caractéristiques.La structure est simple. L?ouverture débute avec un Andante lent suivi d?un Allegro qui développe deux thèmes principaux. On retrouve des fragments de ces thèmes sous une forme modifiée dans la réexposition qui mène vers une courte conclusion.L'Italienne à Alger souligne la différence des mœurs entre deux pays situés sur les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Avec ses tableaux aux couleurs orientales et ses mélodies exotiques l?opéra L?Italienne à Alger est devenu l?un des opéras rossiniens les plus appréciés du public.

The Thieving Magpie - Overture-Pour familiariser le public avec le sujet de son oeuvre Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868) a noué dans la trame de sa somptueuse ouverture de La gazza ladra>/I> (La Pie voleuse) quelques thèmes repris ultérieurement dans l?opéra. La Pie voleuse s?ouvre sur un trait de génie : un roulement de tambour (2 caisses claires). Du jamais vu ! L?ouverture est une des plus éclatantes et des plus vivantes de Rossini. Certaines de ses mélodies sont profondément ancrées dans la mémoire des auditeurs et contiennent de nombreux effets spectaculaires dont le légendaire «crescendo rossinien».

This study score is based on the critical edition of ?The Barber Of Seville? edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series ?Works of Gioachino Rossini?. But who needs a new critical edition of ?The Barber Of Seville?? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. Secondly there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera of great interest to both scholars andperformers.Thus the famous overture which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera ?Aureliano in Palmira? differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in ?Aureliano in Palmira?) which includes two Flutes two Oboes and Timpani or in the scoring for the subsequent opera ?The Barber Of Seville? (with just one flute one oboe and no timpani).A series of appendices contain music and information which have been included in no other edition of the opera to date.- Takes into account all original sources also including five manuscripts with Rossini?s autograph ornamentation.- Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini?s personal notational characteristics.- With a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)

The ?Petite Messe Solennelle? is the finest work of Rossini?s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the ?Stabat mater? the mass is one of the composer?s most important sacred works.The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini?s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by for example Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements.The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation.- Based on the Urtext of the series ?Works of Gioachino Rossini?.- Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger).- With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II.

Rossini's Stabat Mater for SSTB.Following his early departure from the opera stage in 1829 besides chamber music Gioachino Rossini composed only larger scored works of church music. The Stabat Mater is among these. It was composed in two different phases between 1831 and 1841 and received its premiere in Paris in 1842. The text is fashioned as a prayer describing Mary’s pain in the face of the crucified Christ. Time and again the vivid language of this text a Latin poem probably from the 13th century has inspired settings by composers including illustrious names such as Pergolesi Joseph Haydn and Verdi. In 10 movements Rossini unites different formssuch as aria duet quartet and chorus an operaticaria-like style of writing as well as a strict a cappella style resulting in one of the highpoints of this genre.
