The choral cantatas are Reger's most personal and most substantial contribution to one of the principal categories of Protestant church music, and they are only major works in this field by one of the foremost composers of his time. This is true despite the fact that Reger himself does not appear to have considered the cantatas to figure among his principal compositions, as he gave them no opus numbers. In contrast to the three other chorale cantatas of Reger which exist in a definitive form, there is no record of the place or date of the first performance of O wie selig, or indeed of any performance of it during the composer's lifetime.

The word "hymn" comes from the Greek "hymnos", meaning a festive song.  To hymnologists (people who study hymns), the HYMN is the poetry, the lyrics, which is then set to a HYMN TUNE.  Many wonderful hymn tunes have been used over the centuries with several completely different sets of words.  The name of a hymn tune seldom matches the name of its hymn, and most people refer to hymns by their poetic names rather than their tune names.  However, some hymn tunes are so powerful, so flexible and so rooted in the collective social consciousness that they transcend whatever poetry is put with them.  Several tunes in this set have been used for many poems, most of which are unfamilar.  But we know the melody instantly!  Written for two violins and piano, both a viola and cello part are include to substitue for the 2nd violin.  Hymns (tunes) include: 1. All Glory, Laud and Honor (St. Theodulph), 2. Crown Him With Many Crowns (Diademata), 3. Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (Austria), 4. I Love to Tell the Story (Hankey), 5. Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (St. Denio), 6. O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Axnon), 7. O Worship the King (Lyons), 8. Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty (Lobe Den Herren).

SSB vocal soli (TTB) or choir, 2 violins, basso continuo (original version)

SKU: CA.2706349

Composed by Giacomo Carissimi. Edited by Gunther Massenkeil. Missa In Concertata In C. Sacred vocal music, Masses, Latin. Single Part, Organ. 20 pages. Duration 31 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 27.063/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2706349).

ISBN 9790007199838. Key: C major. Language: Latin.

Giacomo Carissimi, the first great master of the oratorio and author of numerous concertante motets and Italian bel canto solo cantatas, also composed several masses. The Missa concertata in C for 2 tenors (or sopranos) and bass, 2 violins and basso continuo was printed in Cologne in 1666, a fact which is regarded as of proof of the fame of this Roman master among his contemporaries throughout Europe. The work is written in concertante style, accompanied by basso continuo, as opposed to the a cappella style of writing, and today it is one of the few surviving works of this type. It can be performed entirely by soloists, or by soloists alternating with a choir. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2706300.

Psalm 109 (110). Composed by Giacomo Carissimi. Edited by Gunther Massenkeil. Psalm 109 Dixit Dominus. Sacred vocal music, Psalms, Latin. Full score. 16 pages. Duration 7 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 27.401/05. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2740105).

ISBN 9790007110925. Key: F major. Language: Latin.

These psalm settings are in the tradition of classical vocal polyphony as practiced in the modified a cappella style of the 17 th century (stylus gravis). Characteristic of this style is the continuo line, which generally doubles the vocal bass, only occasionally functioning independently. Despite its closeness to the tradition of the a-cappella style, Carissimi proves in this psalm to be a master of the artistic expression of words, which characterizes his music in the concertante style. This art is revealed here primarily in the rhythmically, highly differentiated diction of the words, which essentially distinguishes it from the flowing style of Palestrina. Score available separately - see item CA.2740100.

This extremely flexible arrangement can be used in so many ways!! Play it all, or leave out selected movements. Use the optional tag ending, or skip it. Due to the flexibility of this arrangement, THE NUTCRACKER is great for programming early in the school year (while you're still discovering the capabilities of this year's band).
