SKU: CA.2731809

Composed by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Edited by Armin Kircher. Arranged by Paul Horn. 1x 27.318/31 trombone 1, 1x 27.318/32 trombone 2, 1x 27.318/33 trombone 3. Sacred music from Salzburg. Harmony parts. Sacred vocal music, Requiem. Set of Orchestra Parts. Duration 28 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 27.318/09. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2731809).

ISBN 9790007201852. Key: F minor. Text language: Latin.

Biber's Requiem in F minor is amongst the most impressive settings of the Requiem Mass of the 17th century. The exact reason for the composition of the Requiem, which can be dated to 1692, is not known. The dark key color of F minor is emphasized by the instrumental scoring for two violins, three violas, basso continuo and three trombones (colla parte with the chorus). The vivid language of the Requiem text offered Biber a wealth of possibilities for expressive, musical interpretation. The intensity of the musical language used to portray lamenting and mourning is impressive. In the course of publication of the Biber Requiem, surprisingly the primary source, which until now had been thought to be missing, resurfaced and the edition could be prepared based on this astonishing discovery. This is a work of mid-level difficulty for a choir and with the clear disposition of the string parts it is well suited for performance by amateur choirs. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.2731800.

At just 34 years of age, Theodore Dubois was installed as a professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. Whilst much of his compositional works have disappeared from primary classical repertoire, his 12 New Pieces for Organ remain prominent. Whilst being a significant figure in the field of teaching, Dubois was also a revered organist, occupying the post of organist at the Madeleine. Dubois' 12 New Pieces vary in character, beginning with a helpful index of performance directions. For all aspiring, advanced organists, Dubois' 12 New Pieces ensure variety and versatility within the repertoire..

“There is no doubt in my mind about the pedagogical potency of the use of the Swiss Ball for conducting study. This simple device transfers responsibility for teaching from heretoforeused verbal explanations to a new world of instruction that uses body awareness as the primary vehicle.” — James Jordan, Learn Conducting Technique with the Swiss Exercise Ball   Traditional conducting methods rely on how conductors look––not how they feel. James Jordan’s groundbreaking Learn Conducting Technique with the Swiss Exercise Ball takes the study of conducting beyond the mechanics to a higher plane. Using the Swiss Exercise Ball, everyone from the most experienced conductor to the beginner can tie into a state of awarenessthat opens the door to increased musical expression and kinesthetic awareness. With the aid of a Swiss Exercise Ball and the Body Mapping techniques described in this book, conductors can reach a new level of artistic expression and mastery. The Swiss Exercise Ball is available in four sizes from GIA Publications, and each comes with a pump. Choose the ball size based on the height of the conductor: • 45 cm ball, under 5’ tall (G-6575) • 55 cm ball, 5’ to 5’8” tall (G-6576) • 65 cm ball, 5’9” to 6’3” tall (G-6577) • 75 cm ball, 6’3” and taller (G-6578).

Composed by Johannes Brahms. Edited by Rainer Boss. Complete set of orchestra parts (strings 9-8-7-6-5). Set of Orchestra Parts (complete). Composed 1880/81. Op. 82. Duration 14 minutes. Carus Verlag #1039800. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.1039819).

ISBN 9790007293000. Key: D major. German/English. Text: J.P. Morgan; Friedrich Schiller.

Brahms' elegy Nanie op. 82, based on the poem by Friedrich von Schiller, was composed in 1880/81 following the death of the painter Anselm Feuerbach, whom Brahms greatly admired. In contrast with the poem, Brahms' Nanie ends full of hope: after earthly decline, beauty can live on in art. As in his Deutsches Requiem op. 45, in Nanie Brahms creates a musical connection between mourning and consolation in an incomparable way. Inspired by the model of classical Roman-Greek laments, the work adopts the classical verse form chosen by Schiller - surely alluding to Feuerbach's classically-inspired art.
Scored for mixed chorus and orchestra, we are publishing the work in a modern Urtext edition. One or more harps can be used ad lib. The primary source is the first printed edition of 1881. The latest scholarly discoveries as well as practical requirements have been taken into consideration. Performance material is available on sale as well as a vocal score, based on Brahms's original vocal score, but in a revised performing version.

Composed by Alan Shulman. This edition: Latham Music. Quartet; Solo Small Ensembles; String - Quartet. LudwigMasters - Latham Music. Book. LudwigMasters Publications #36-52703617. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-52703617).

This humorous little vignette for string quartet was composed in 1979 and was originally intended to be published by Piedmont Music, the ASCAP division of EB Marks Classical. For reasons unknown, however, it remained in manuscript form until 2021, when a copy of the composer's autograph parts was discovered in the archives of a completely different Alan Shulman piece. This newly engraved Latham Music edition therefore represents the first publication of Shulman's delightful work, as well as the first full score. As the title suggests, this is a medium-slow rag, or cakewalk in a loose AABA form. The bluesy and graceful main melody is introduced by the first violin in a call and response exchange with the rest of the ensemble. The restatement of the primary theme is led by the second violin, with the entire ensemble playing pizzicato, having the effect of playful mockery. In the B section, the first violin earnestly reasserts the stately grace from the opening however, the cello is clearly becoming restless and decides to take over the lead just before the final reprise. The lighthearted ending again has the first violin doing its best to bring the tune to a refined conclusion, but the rest of the group still has mischief in mind. After a couple moments of seeming confusion, the ensemble regroups at last and plays the final riff with resolute emphasis. If you're looking to add a light moment to a recital program, or looking for a short, medium level contest piece that players and audiences alike will enjoy, this little miniature is an ideal choice!
