The Sechs Evangelien-Motetten (Six Gospel Motets) were composed by Johann Nepomuk David in 1957/58 and published as single editions by Breitkopf & Hartel in 1958. By this time, he was professor of music theory and counterpoint at the conservatory in Stuttgart. This later period of his composing activities also expresses itself in the music: demanding counterpoint is connected with expressive chromaticism and wide-range dynamic differentiation in these six settings of gospel texts. Compared to the almost simultaneously composed and published Sechs Evangelien-Motetten by Siegfried Strohbach (ChB 5360), the settings by David are of a higher difficulty level and therefore more suited to chamber choirs and other ambitious ensembles.CD:Vokalensembl e per sonare, cond.

When Hugo Ticciati asked me to write a new piece for his quartet, I was immediately enthusiastic about this project. I love how Hugo and his O/MODERNT String Quartet unite old and new music in a completely natural way. So, I was absolutely excited about Hugo`s idea of having my piece based on two of my idols, Bach and Beethoven, deconstructing the one and constructing the other. With all my respect for these great composers I gave to the piece a very personal inner part consisting of my own music that influenced and inspired the other parts. For the whole piece I felt very close to Beethoven, who said: To make a fugue is not art, which [is something] I have made dozens of times in my study. But the imagination will assert its rights and must come today, in light of the old traditional form, to another truly poetic element. De/Con is a travel into different centuries with different sound-languages. For me, it was like having a wonderful constructive discussion with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, each of us trying to speak our own language, approaching the others step by step. The piece could be defined as a Love Letter to two of the greatest composers ever. De/Con could be preceded by (parts of) Johann Sebastian Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge (The Art of the Fugue) and succeeded by Ludwig van Beethoven's Grosse Fuge (Great Fugue). Ideally, then, all parts should be played attacca. It could, but it hasn't to be played with these two pieces. (Manuela Kerer)

ISBN 9781506492452. 7x10.25 inches.

Russell Schulz-Widmar's original music is beautifully wrapped around the eloquent poetry of theologian and parish priest, William H. Vanstone (1923-1999). The text speaks of the costly nature of God's love for the world, and reminds us that God is not distant, but deeply involved in all our pain and grief. Scored for two-part mixed choir, the writing is both moving and accessible. Include this anthem during Lent and in services of healing and care.

Ein kurzweiliges, kontrastreiches Opus, angeregt durch das Rascher-Quartett, dem es auch gewidmet ist; keine experimentelle, aber instrumentengerechte, neue Musik, auf die Spiel- und Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten sowie auf den spezifischen Klang eines technisch und musikalisch anspruchsvollen Saxophon-Ensembles bezogen (Sopran - Alt- Tenor - Bariton)Funf suitenformig locker aneinander gereihte Satze (Funf ,,Blatter) werden durch ein dodekaphonisches Leitmotiv verknupft, das zu Anfang eines jeden Satzes erklingt.Im Circulo ostinato bestimmt diese Figur entscheidend den Verlauf des Stuckes; zu Beginn des Finales verdichtet sie sich zum vierstimmigen Kanon. Ostinate und rhythmische Formeln pragen den Charakter des ganzen Werkes.Allegro ruzzone (Ubermut)Ein knappes lebhaftes Eingangsstuck; auf dem Hohepunkt erscheint, wie ein Atemholen, ein melodisch-ausdrucksvoller Gedanke, der sich imitatorisch im Kreise dreht, ehe eine kurze Stretta in schnellem Tempo zum Pianissimoschluss fuhrt.Circulo ostinato (Kreisende Wiederholung) (Andante con moto)Der Mittelteil des Satzes entwickelt sich aus gestauten Tonwiederholungen und den melodischen Flosklen des Urthemas in immer neuen Anlaufen zu grosser Steigerung. Am Anfang und Ende steht ein mehrstimmiger Kanon, der um eine abwarts gerichtete chromatische Tonfolge kreist.Ballo estatico (,,Entfesselter Tanz) (Allegro molto)In diesem Satz dominieren rhythmisch tanzerische und aggressive Elemente; drei verschiedene Episoden entfalten sich uber ostinaten Bassbewegungen, die letzte gerat zur ,,freien Variation uber Debussys (,,Golliwoggs cake walk aus den ,,Children's Corner).Sogno solitario (Einsamer Traum) (Andante)Der ,,langsame Satz des Quartetts wachst aus rezitativischem Beginn, uber einen ausdrucksvollen Mittelteil (mit engraumiger Melodik) bis zu einer ausgedehnten Trillerflache und dichten, abwarts sturzenden chromatischen Figuren (Quintolen), kehrt uber einen ruhigen Abschnitt (in tiefer Lage) zum Rezitativ zuruck, klingt verhalten aus.Fugato scherzando (Allegro molto)Ein virtuos humorvolles Finale, nach dem einleitenden vierstimmigen ,,Kreisel-Kanon des Leitmotivs entwickelt sich aus einem skurrilen Thema eine rhythmisch vertrackte Fuge, unterbrochen von einem trioahnlichen Intermezzo und wirkungsvoll turbulent zum befreienden Schluss gesteigert.(Jurg Baur)Bibliography:Gudelho fer, Matthias: Jurg Baur.

The Song of the Earth, composed in the summer of 1908, is Mahler's best-known and most personal work. Reflecting drastic changes in his life, its immense emotional density is very moving. Until the very end, Mahler continued to refine the extremely differentiated instrumentation, as is evident in numerous retouchings in the autograph score and engraver's model. It is therefore all the more regrettable that he was neither able to perform his Symphony in Songs himself nor that he was involved in its printing. Unfortunately, in the posthumously published first edition of 1912 and the subsequent editions edited by Erwin Ratz and Karl Heinz Fussl, many questions remained unanswered, while other were answered in a dubious way.The edition is the first text-critical one of the work on a scientifically sound basis. It offers not only a more reliable musical text, but also systematically and lucidly prepared information on the sources, their transmission and evaluation. All editorial decisions have been documented in a transparently comprehensible manner - in particular those leading to new audible results. Work-related notes on performance practice, which for the first time include Mahler's conducting indications, offer valuable, indispensable interpretive aids. In addition to the regular five clarinet parts, the set of parts includes two additional parts (3rd clarinet/Eb clarinet, bass clarinet/3rd clarinet in places where the latter plays Eb clarinet) to allow performances with only four clarinets.The completely revised piano reduction reproduces the orchestral texture true to the score without losing sight of playability. Both Mahler's piano autograph and the piano reduction by Woss, which was commissioned by the composer himself, served as an inspiration for this.
