Op. 89. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The Three Fates or Parcae were the goddesses of fate in Greek-Roman mythology and sang on themes of curse and fate. The Parzenlied in Goethe?s verse drama ?Iphigenie auf Tauris? is concerned with these themes and became the model for Johannes Brahms?s setting. His Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) op. 89 describes in thrilling eruptive sounds the fight to overcome the mythical curse through the purity of truthful noble actions and the power of hope.With a duration of around 12 minutes the work can be combined with Brahms?s ?German Requiem? in concert. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / SAATBB et Orchestre

Edition Complète. Par RAMEAU JEAN-PHILIPPE. Rameau's only surviving opera based on a libretto by Voltaire has survived in two versions (1745 and 1746), whereby the 1745 version was long considered lost. Volume IV.12 of the series ?Opera omnia Rameau? presents a complete edition which enables performances of both versions. Voltaire refers to Metastasio in his libretto in that he wishes to liberate the opera from the gallant milieu and to make it a moralizing stage work that is equally edifying and political. After a prologue dedicated to envy personified, the tyrants Bélus and Bacchus are chased out of the Hall of Fame and finally Trajan is crowned with laurels for defeating the rebels, forgiving them and ultimately turning the Hall of Fame into a public temple. The music contains many remarkable passages, such as a richly orchestrated overture, the famous monologue ?Profonds abîmes du Ténare? with obbligato bassoons, and Trajan's artful final scene ?Ramage d'oiseaux?./ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre

Par SCHWARTZ STEPHEN. From ?The Prince of Egypt? (the Dreamworks animated film of the life of Moses), the majestic and inspirational opening melody gradually builds in intensity and grandeur leading to a simple and lyrical Hebrew prayerthat unfolds into a great choral outpouring of emotion at the final breathtaking chorus. May be performed with piano alone, with CD accompaniment or with the full instrumental orchestration ? a truly unforgettable concertmoment! / Date parution : 2022-04-02/ Répertoire / Orchestre et Choeur

The Missa in F of 1734 for two or four choirs is probably Pergolesi’s most important work for choir and orchestra. The nickname 'Missa Romana' was added later in reference to a performance given in Rome during Pergolesi’s lifetime.This Urtext edition presents the work for the first time in the four-choir version that Pergolesi wrote for the above mentioned performance in Rome. Choirs III and IV are reproduced in smaller type and are added to the version for double choir in order to intensify the overall sound. This allows the work to be performed not only with two choirs but also in the delightful enlarged version for fourchoirs. Rounding off the edition are an informative Foreword (Eng/Ger) and a Critical Commentary (Eng).First publication with choirs III and IV.Can be performed with both two or four choirs.Idiomatic well-presented Piano reduction.Full score performance material (BA8958) and vocal score (BA8958-90) available for sale.

Dramatic poem for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra. Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. Gade composed the cantata ?The Crusaders? op. 50 for soloists, choir and orchestra (termed as ?Dramatic Poem? in the original print) in the summer of 1865; it was premiered on 24 April 1866. Together with the cantatas ?Kalanus? and ?Zion? written later, the work constitutes, in Gade?s understanding, a ?kind of trilogy? which centers on different manifestations of the ?longing for the true light?. The libretto of ?The Crusaders? by Carl Andersen is based on motives from Torquato Tasso?s ?Jerusalem Delivered? and spreads these over three sections which themselves are subdivided multiple times: I In the Desert ? II Armida - III Towards Jerusalem./ Répertoire / Chant et Orchestre
