A powerful and memorable work, commissioned in celebration of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. Set in minor mode, it tells of the Mandan Indians (of what is now North Dakota), known as the People of the Willows. They hosted the Lewis and Clark expedition for 184 days as they wintered along the Missouri River. Their chief, Shahaka's promise to Lewis and Clark was, If we eat, you shall eat. If we starve, you will starve. Our wish is to be at peace with all..

Chamber Ensemble String Sextet (2 Violins, 2 Violas, 2 Violoncellos)

SKU: HL.51481082

Parts. Composed by Johannes Brahms. Edited by Katrin Eich. Sheet Music. Paperbound. Henle Music Folios. Classical. Softcover. 11 pages. G. Henle #HN1082. Published by G. Henle (HL.51481082).

The Sextet in B-flat major was already judged to be “one of the most beautiful works by this young composer” after its initial performances in early 1861. It was popular with both public and press, and has retained this status to the present day. The publisher Simrock was so impressed by it that he accepted Brahms's suggestion that he should publish a score of it alongside the individual parts - something that was by no means usual at the time. The numerous differences between these two first editions of 1861 continue to present problems to Brahms researchers today. Brahms specialist Katrin Eich has already taken on the task of editing the work for the Brahms Complete Edition, and this new Urtext edition provides the best possible musical text for performance. Naturally, it is available in both score and parts.

Mendelssohn is considered a self-critical composer, who repeatedly reworked a number of his pieces until he deemed them worthy to be published. The path to his first Piano Trio was particularly rocky: only after several attempts was he able to complete it in the summer of 1839; it appeared in 1840 after further revisions. This perfectionism paid off, for Mendelssohn's D Minor Trio was immediately received with enthusiasm. Robert Schumann wrote: “It is the master trio of the present day, like those of Beethoven in Bb and D and that of Franz Schubert in Eb were in their time; a very beautiful composition which after years will still delight grandchildren and great-grandchildren.† Which was to prove true: even today, it numbers among the most popular works in the trio repertoire in general. The trio, taken from the volume Mendelssohn • Piano Trios HN 957, is now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.

Orchestra (Study Score)

SKU: HL.51489058

Haydn's three Symphonies nos. 90-92 might rightly be dubbed his “Paris Symphonies Part II,” as they were commissioned in 1788/89, likewise by the Société Olympique, for which Haydn had already composed his six “Paris Symphonies” nos. 82-87 just a few years earlier. Ironically enough, Haydn would later sell these three a second time to Prince von Oettingen-Wallerstein who requested he “receive 3 new symphonies from him.” Regardless of such mercantile entanglements, Haydn shows himself to be at the full height of his mastery as a symphonist in these works. According to the autograph manuscript, the Symphony in C major no. 90 was completed in 1788 and highlights its festive character with the addition of timpani and trumpets. This study edition adopts the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, thereby guaranteeing the highest scholarly quality. An informative preface and a brief Critical Report make the handy score an ideal companion for all current and soon-to-be Haydn fans.

This is one of Harold Bennett's (pseudonym of Henry Fillmore) lesser-known marches, but that is no indication of its quality. It is a 6/8 march in standard march form but what is unique about this classic from the original Bennett Band Book is that it is one of the few Bennett marches that includes a break strain. This makes it a great introduction for younger students to prepare them to play the more challenging marches of Fillmore, Sousa, and others.

Piano and orchestra

SKU: HL.49011963

Composed by Robert Schumann. Edited by Akio Mayeda and Bernhard R. Appel. This edition: Full-cloth binding. Sheet music. Robert Schumann - Neue Ausgabe samtlicher Werke. Classical. Score. Op. 54. 305 pages. Schoenberg #RSA1007-10. Published by Schoenberg (HL.49011963).

ISBN 9783795793197. UPC: 073999799019. 10.0x13.25x1.268 inches.

Schumann's Piano Concerto is known all over the world, yet despite its popularity it remains in a certain sense an undiscovered work. The aim with this edition is not only to provide a critical score of the work, but at the same time to indicate what questions of detail should form the focus of future research. The critical analysis offered here thus offers discussion of the relationship between the one-movement Fantasia version and the three-movement concerto version, the problem of the transition from the second to the third movement and a series of questions relating to the version completed in 1853. A booklet of facsimiles completes the volume.
