Popular Problems is the thirteenth studio album by legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. This Popular Problems sheet music features all of the songs from the album arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar.Released a day after his 80th birthday to wide critical acclaim, Leonard Cohen's thirteenth album is a dark and understated work featuring Cohen's distinctive voice, his poetic lyrics and some bluesy instrumentation. Featuring songs like Slow, Almost Like The Blues and You Got Me Singing, the album is a throwback to those dark American dive bars where the smell of smoke and whisky blends with the sounds of a deep and croaky voice.On Popular Problems, this voice comes from the legendary figure of folk music whose mysteriously cryptic lyrics made their way onto the scene in 1967. After struggling as a poet and novelist, Cohen turned his hand to folk songs which, like Bob Dylan before him, he was perfectly suited to. Our Popular Problems sheet music features accurate transcriptions of all the songs from the latest offering from this old master of folk music.The album is a subtle and quiet one, with beautiful lyrics, simple melodies and some interesting music that ranges from Piano chords to folk Guitar strumming. There are even a few unexpected surprises such as the Middle-Eastern influences on the song Nevermind. These little touches keep the album interesting and exciting while retaining the essence of Cohen's past music.This Popular Problems songbook would be perfect for the Leonard Cohen fan, the singer-songwriter looking to learn from a master, or just someone who loves great music by a great musician. / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG)

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Practical performing Urtext edition based on the latest state of Bach research. Every era hears and interprets Bach anew, and every era also evaluates the sources afresh and with new eyes. 40 years after the publication of the St. Matthew Passion in the New Bach Edition, Klaus Hofmann, Director of the Johann Sebastian Bach Institute Göttingen for many years and a contributing editor to the New Bach Edition, presents a new edition. Hofmann has placed the study of the sources at the service of musical practice and the detailed investigation of Bach’s intentions. Bach scholars are well aware that Bach’s original score and performance parts, running to almost 500 pages of music, are full of ambiguities and contradictions, particularly regarding articulation, which constantly challenge performers to new interpretations. Hofmann discusses these and other problems in a concise critical report, frequently arriving at new conclusions in the process. Extensive notes about parallel passages offer valuable help for interpretation. Special attention was devoted to the performance material with regard to practical needs. Thus, for example the text incipits are also printed in the instrumental parts (including tacet passages). In short - an Urtext edition for practical performance based on the latest findings in Bach research. J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion BWV 244 for SATB and Piano.

This short, highly compact song is based on an excerpt from a poem by Philipp Luidl. Thanks to the narrow ambitus of the vocal part, it is suitable for every vocal register. The piano part is strictly bound to the musical text, whereas the vocal part, though precisely notated, is granted almost unlimited leeway in performance. Almost anything is permitted, from traditional song interpretation to uninhibited Sprechgesang in which even pitches can be redefined. The imagery of the poem - a stone constantly rolled back by the sea - gives rise to music of great flexibility. Piano and voice complement each other while preserving their independence. / Chant Et Piano

Hwv 283. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The “Dettinger Te Deum” was written to celebrate England’s victory over the French at the Battle of Dettingen. It is Handel’s last and most successful setting of the “Te Deum” and reveals a deep understanding of the English church music tradition. The sound impact of this broadly conceived work is governed by the choirs in an almost theatrical exegesis of the text. Particularly striking are several borrowings from the “Messiah” which Handel had just completed. This edition, edited by Baroque specialist Amanda Babington, is based on the Urtext from the “Halle Handel Edition”. - First Urtext edition - Includes a Foreword (Eng/Ger) - Idiomatic, well-presented piano reduction (Eng) Handel 's Dettinger Te Deum was composed to celebrate England’s victory over the French at the Battle of Dettingen.

Arrangiert Von Johann Sebastian Bach. Par KEISER REINHARD. Version of a performance at the Weimar court from around 1713 by J. S. Bach; from his library of music. 'It has been proven that J. S. Bach studied the St. Mark Passion of Reinhard Keiser frequently and intensively. At least three performances of this work verify this fact. A new Carus edition presents the ‘Weimar’ version, since the material is almost complete. Keiser’s Passion is well suited for ‘normal’ conditions, with regard to length, difficulty and scoring. In every respect a rewarding representation of the Passion. ” Kirchenmusikalische Mitteilungen 3 / 1999 / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solo SATB, Choeur SATB, Hautbois, 2 Violons, 2 Alt

B-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. To a greater extent than almost any others, Mozart's Masses combine a very high degree of artistic accomplishment and tonal beauty with fulfilment of the demands made by the Liturgy. Even the textually expansive movements 'Gloria' and 'Credo' are, in most of Mozart's Masses, short enough to meet the requirements of a festive service, today as in his time. The choral parts are not too difficult for well-trained amateur singers. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 ViolonS Basse Contin

Psalm 129. Par CAMPRA ANDRE. In his roles as Music Director at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris and in the Royal Choir [chapel] of Louis XV, André Campra (1660-1744) composed numerous motets which frequently displayed the influence of contemporary opera. If today Campra is known almost exclusively for his famous Requiem, nevertheless his more than forty motets composed for soli, choir and orchestra are still awaiting discovery. Among these is a setting of Psalm 129, De profundis, published here in a new critical edition after the autograph score. The work was composed in 1723 during the first months of Campra's service to the French king and it proves to be the equal to the compositions of Michel-Richard de Lalande, who during his lifetime shaped and dominated the genre of the 'Grand Motet.'/ Répertoire / ST (A) BarB et Piano

Op. 106. Par REGER MAX. Max Reger?s setting of Psalm 100 is one of the ?grand style? choral-symphonic works of the classical modern repertoire. Contrapuntal skill in the tradition of Bach combines with overwhelmingly powerful expressiveness, rich in contrasts. The full harmonic and stylistic breadth of the early 20th century sings out, not only in frenetic song, but also in the search for awareness in quieter passages. Reger?s opulence, tonal and contrapuntal almost throughout, finally culminates in a double fugue with an off-stage orchestra similar to the trumpets of Jericho over ?Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott?. The composer?s declared aim was: ?The psalm must go so brilliantly, that all will be simply ?bowled over?.? / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / SATB [Divisi] et Piano

Telemann's Passion oratorio 'Der Tod Jesu? was composed in 1754/55, almost at the same time as the same-named work of note by Carl Heinrich Graun. Both compositions are based on the same libretto by Karl Wilhelm Ramler.In this late work, Telemann consciously juxtaposes carefully structured recitatives with musically reduced festive choruses, thus lending the passion text great musical expressivity.This vocal score complements the Urtext edition of this appealing work which is published as a part of the 'Telemann Musical Works?.The orchestral parts are available on hire.- Urtext edition based on the 'Telemann Musical Works?- Idiomatic well-presented piano reduction / Chant Et Piano

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for SATB choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Par PART ARVO. The Berlin Mass is intended to be sung liturgically during Pentecost, and includes the Veni Sancte Spiritus specific to that service. The gently unfolding repetition deliberately avoids dramatic and pictorial elements, exuding quiet dignity and a profound sense of joy. The vocal scores have almost no interpretive markings. Dynamics and tempi are left to the performers; it is their task to experience and communicate the rich spiritual possibilities offered in the music. The work is devout and transparent. For the willing listener, it can be a clear window into the soul. (Richard Brown) The Berlin Mass was given its first performance (by Theatre of Voices) at the Catholic Days in Berlin during May 1990. The occasion was a celebration of Mass, and the music, scored for four singers and organ, had a strictly liturgical function. Pärt subsequently decided to orchestrate the work for strings and chorus, and also made many changes to details of the composition, most substantially to the accompaniment of the Sanctus.

for soprano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, violin, violoncello and piano. Par PECOU THIERRY. If a chanson is combined with a birthday celebration (in this case, that of the Ensemble Utopik who commissioned this new work), this inevitably brings back scenes of childhood. For me, Adieu Madras conjures up memories of the homeland of my family, and in particular Henri and Jacqueline Salvador whose wonderful TV programmes I watched during the 1970s. It is without doubt thanks to Henri Salvador’s wonderful interpretation that this old chanson from Martinique, dating from the late eighteenth century and almost a national anthem both in Martinique and Guadeloupe, has also gained such popularity in France.

Weltliches Repertoire. Par . With his Hebrew Choral Songbook, Ohad Stolarz presents a new collection of classics of the musical repertoire in Hebrew, arranged by him for mixed choir a cappella. Many of these pieces are published in Germany for the first time; almost all of them are first published as choral arrangements. The first volume contains ten sacred and paraliturgical songs that may be sung at various occasions. Among these are the feast of Passover, the ?Ten Days of Repentance? in the month of Tishré and the Sabbath. The second volume contains ten secular songs that have become widely known in Israel during the 20th century. These songs are part of Israel?s cultural history and belong to its core repertoire. All Hebrew lyrics appear in transliteration underneath the music, translations in German and English and comprehensive annotation texts are located in the appendix. This choral songbook therefore allows all interculturally interested choirs to take first steps into the world of Jewish and more generally Hebrew choral music. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte
