The composer Rudolf Kelterborn about his work: 'I call the ten compositions for female voice and piano 'DUOS' because the voice and instrument parts are treated musically with absolute equality and indeed often go their own independent ways. In the vocal part there are several variants, and this makes them accessible for different types of voice. The 10 duos do not form a complete cycle that can be heard only as an entire work. Smaller groups can be put together and presented according to text-related or musical aspects. The texts are by authors who have continued to inspire me for years.? / Voix De Femmes Et Piano

Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. The cantata Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland (TVWV 1:1174) is taken from Telemann ’s cantata cycle of 1717–18. Though festively scored for two Oboes, two Trumpets, Kettledrums, Strings and Basso Continuo, it will not overly strain the financial resources of today’s ensembles. The well-known chorale tune features prominantly in all choruses. Telemann gives one aria each to the three soloists (SAB). Thanks to the relatively small instrumental ensemble, the choral passages can be taken one to a part. The vocal score appears with a singing translation in English. - Urtext based on the latest scholarly research. - Straightforwardand easy-to-play Keyboard reduction. - Duration: approx. 15 minutes. - Singing translation in English - Vocal score (BA7677-90) and performance material (BA7677) available for sale./ Répertoire / Solistes, Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orchestre

Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the 'Hymn to the Virgin Mary” (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choral movements, sensitive ('empfindsam”) and expressive arias, a long concluding double fugue. This richly scored Magnificat (with 3 trumpets and timp. ad. lib.), which is almost one hour in duration, would be well suited, for example, as the central work on every Christmas or pre-Christmas concert programme./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orchestre

Cantata for the Second Day of Christmas. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Telemann composed ; Gelobet Seist Du, Jesu Christ (TvWV 1:612) for his cantata cycle of 1710& 11. Although scored without Brass Instruments or Timpani, the brilliant, festive mood of the second day of Christmas prevails. The opening chorale and the final chorus form a frame for the four solo arias of the main section (ATB). Here, too, the choral numbers may be, and usually are, taken one to a part. The vocal score appears with a singing translation in English and suggested alternatives for the German text. - Urtext based on the latest findings of scholarship. - Straightforward and easy-to-play Piano reduction. - Duration: approx. 15 minutes. - Singing translation in English. - Full score (BA7676) and performance material (BA7676) available for sale./ Répertoire / Solistes, Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orchestre
