2016 marks the first centenary of the death of Max Reger. In addition to his best-known field of creativity - organ music - his choral compositions form another major part of his oeuvre.This edition contains a selection of his sacred a cappella choral works. Their scoring, level of difficulty and length make them ideal for choirs who are wary of tackling the large-scale op. 110 motets. For the first time, the selection of works includes the previously unpublished 'Acht Grabgesänge? (1900). The pieces are arranged in chronological order, culminating in the well-known cycle of 'Acht geistliche Gesänge? op. 138 (1914).Contents- 'Tantum ergo Sacramentum? (1895)- 'Maria Himmelsfreud!? (1899-1900)- 'Acht Grabgesänge? (ca. 1900)- 'Acht Marienlieder? op. 61d (1901)- 'Sechs Trauergesänge? op. 61g (1901)- 'Palmsonntagmorgen? (1902)- 'Vier Kirchengesänge?

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Due to numerous customer requests, Bärenreiter will be successively offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions again. This means you now have the choice: perhaps you prefer a lower-priced and slightly lighter soft-cover edition with excellent lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a musician's life. Our vocal score to 'Don Giovanni” K. 527 (BA 4550-93) is the first edition we have now published in a hardback version. The vocal score of this ingenious opera by Mozart contains the original Prague version of 1787, which, due to its musical and dramaturgical coherence, should unquestionably be preferred to any hybrid versions. The changes made for the Vienna performances of 1788 are included in the appendix. Based on the research findings published in 2003 in the Critical Commentary to the respective music volume of the 'New Mozart Edition” (Volume II/5/17), the highest musicological standards have been adhered to in this vocal score edition./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
