With a
duration of about 10
minutes, Schubert's
Magnificat D 486 in C
major is one of the more
concise settings of the
well-known Marian
canticles, originally for
the service of Vespers.
It was composed in late
summer 1815, and is
therefore probably one of
a series of church music
works Schubert wrote in
his youth for Lichtenthal
Parish Church. The work
requires a large-scale
orchestra with strings,
woodwind, and brass. The
four-part choir contrasts
with four soloists; this
quartet sings the
peaceful middle section
of the three-section
work. For the Carus
edition Schubert's own
autograph manuscript of
his Magnificat was
consulted again for the
first time since 1888.
Until 1989 this had been
thought to be lost. This
work is now available in
carus music, the choir
app! Score and part

Good
friends see the best in
us. They tend to downplay
our faults while
applauding our strengths.
In short, they encourage
us to be the best we can
be, maybe even a little
more. The text of
Paint Me was
born out of the desire to
be that person my best
friend thinks I am. To
Mary Jo, my sister and
best friend. May I really
be that person you see
and love. In setting the
text of Paint Me
to music, I tried to let
the cadence of the words
dictate the rhythm of the
music. Use rubato, word
stress and syllabic
stress to enhance this.
Remember, no two eighth
notes are alike, so dont
be afraid to let the
interior part of a phrase
move along, while
relaxing the beginning
and ending. I would
recommend a straight tone
as opposed to vibrato for
the held notes, since the
accompaniment plays
around with other
harmonies while choral
chords are being held.

suddenly take flight for

I hurried outside to see

The
English conductor and
composer Howard Arman has
presented us with a
completed version of
Mozartâ??s Requiem.
â??Another one?â? you
might ask, since this
publication is only the
latest in a long line
reaching back to the
traditional Sü�mayr
version. Yet such is the
enormous power of
Mozartâ??s score that
the challenge and appeal
of completing it remain
undiminished. After two
decades of intensive
study, Howard Armanâ??s
additions to Mozartâ??s
great original show the
requisite care and
respect while
incorporating many new
insights.
Armanâ?
?s approach is
particularly fruitful.
Always aware of the
appropriate limits to
such re-creative work, he
orients himself towards
the typical
characteristics of
Mozartâ??s brilliant
composing style: The
masterly compositional
technique, the search for
innovative solutions to
every problem, and even
the terse treatment of
the text with extremely
suggestive harmonies. All
of this leads to a number
of new listening
experiences. In the Tuba
mirum, for example, we
enjoy a warm, cohesive
ensemble sound, supported
by the bassoons, which
depart from the bass
line. The Confutatis
presents a quite
different picture: Even
the basset horns are
drawn down into the
infernal depths. This
effect is reinforced by
the independence of the
trombones; rather than
simply following the
choral parts, the
instrumentâ??s unique
sound is given an
opportunity to shine.
Armanâ??s Lacrimosa
achieves a lively
Mozartian feel by
granting the voices
considerable freedom
rather than following a
rigid pattern. And he
concludes the movement
with a fugal Amen,
whereby the focus is not
so much on the
counterpoint itself, but
rather â?? in the spirit
of Mozart â?? on
creating a sense of drama
and illuminating the
theme in all its possible
facets. Mozartâ??s
fragment ends with the
Hostias, and so does
Armanâ??s completion.
For the four
following movements
(Sanctus to Communio) we
have nothing from Mozart,
and so here, where the
master is silent, Arman
finally returns to
Sü�mayr, the man who
was closest to Mozart at
the time of his death and
whose efforts to fill the
blank manuscripts still
garner our respect
today.
Armanâ??s
version has already
proven its practical
value. The premiere with
the Bavarian Radio Choir
was enthusiastically
received by audiences and
press alike â?? and
celebrated as offering a
scholarly, entirely fresh
perspective on
Mozartâ??s
masterpiece.

Saint
Nicolas (note the name
has no 'H' in it!) was
written for the centenary
of Lancing College in
Sussex, the independent
secondary boarding school
on the south coast of
England which Peter Pears
had attended in his
teens. It has a vast
chapel intended by its
founder, Revd Nathaniel
Woodard, as the cathedral
for all the schools of
his extensive foundation
known collectively as
'Woodard' schools. St.
Nicolas is famous for
many legendary miracles
and for being the
original 'Santa Claus'.
Crozier's libretto is
designed to tell the
story of his life, to
recount some of his most
celebrated acts and to
give the
audience/congregation the
opportunity of joining in
two beautiful hymns at
key moments: 'All people
that on earth do dwell'
and 'God moves in a
mysterious way his
wonders to perform'. The
narration is all done by
the choir, though the
tenor sings first-person
narratives as well in his
role as the mature
Nicolas. The young
Nicolas is sung by a boy
in movement II. There is
a dramatic moment at the
end of this movement when
the boy's voice does a
tumble and the tenor
proclaims in the voice of
Nicolas as a young man:
'God be
glorified'.
The
third movement is an
accompanied recitative in
which the soloist sings
of Nicolas devoting
himself to God through
the agonies and torment
of the many distractions
and temptations of life.
His faith wins through
and he sings a final
touching phrase: 'and
Love was satisfied'. The
sea whips up a storm in
the next movement: 'He
journeys to Palestine'.
It threatens to overturn
the ship and drown
everyone on board. There
is wailing from the
sopranos and altos of the
semi-chorus and agonised
calls from the tenors and
basses to 'man the
pumps'. Finally, Nicolas
begs God to let the storm
cease and offers thanks
for their safe delivery.
Britten creates a
palpable sense of relief
in the final
pages.
In the
fifth movement, 'Nicolas
comes to Myra and is
chosen Bishop', the choir
sings chorale-like
phrases welcoming him as
their new Bishop. They go
through his ceremonial
dressing with all the
accoutrements of his
office, the mitre,
crozier (nice pun on the
librettist's name), robe
and ring. An energetic
chorus 'Serve the faith
and spurn his enemies'
leads to the first great
hymn - a wonderfully
climactic moment.
Britten's arrangement is
suitably
uplifting.
The
final movement tells of
Nicolas' death and the
work ends with the other
great hymn: 'God moves in
a mysterious way'.
This work
demonstrates to me
Britten's generosity of
spirit and his natural
feeling for enriching the
repertoire at all levels
of attainment. What a
gift!

Bach's
cantata BWV 151, whose
wonderfully heartfelt
opening aria has been
rightly numbered among
Bach's most inspired
ideas (Alfred Durr), was
composed for the 3rd day
of Christmas 1725. Flute
and oboe d'amore lend
pastoral coloring to the
chamber music sound
picture. The oboe d'amore
was not originally
included in Bach's score;
after completing the
score he added the part
to the orchestra for the
first performance. In a
later performance about
1728-1731 Bach replaced
the flute by a solo
violin, adding various
performing instructions
and ornaments, of which a
flautist can make use in
his originally rather
modest part. This new
edition by Klaus Hofmann
replaces the 1962
publication by Diethard
Hellmann. Score and part
available separately -
see item CA.3115100.
