Stra
uss's first tone poem
distinguishes itself from
all other subsequent
orchestral compositions
in its existence in three
different versions. Even
among the operas and
other compositions in his
hand there is no other
work with a comparable
history of origin and
publication. What is
more, the final version
of Macbeth is the only
valid form of the work
and the only variant with
further sources (cf.
Critical Report) in
addition to the autograph
score. In contrast, the
second version has only
been preserved in an
autograph score and
autograph piano reduction
(the orchestral parts
which must have existed
have obviously not
survived). This was never
printed and was replaced
by the published third
version. The two
surviving versions should
therefore not be
considered to be of equal
status. Unlike the case
of Ariadne auf Naxos in
which the earlier version
was for a time the sole
valid alternative and was
yet never completely
displaced by the soon
dominating later version
of the opera, only the
final third version of
Macbeth is considered as
valid. Right from the
outset, it was a matter
of course for the editors
of the present volume to
include the second
version as a first
publication (in addition
to the above-mentioned
surviving pages of the
first version), albeit in
different forms. The
surviving pages of the
first version are
reproduced in facsimile
and the second version,
as a subordinate form of
the work, appears
alongside Strauss's piano
reduction in a modified
source edition, i.e.
without intervention on
the part of the editors.
The ultimate third
version is published as a
full edition (please
refer to the Critical
Report for further
details). In order to
facilitate a comparative
study of the second and
third versions, the
relevant page numbers of
the score are placed
opposite one another (the
autograph piano reduction
of the second version is
included at the end of
the music section of the
volume). The editors hope
that this synoptic
representation will
prompt interest in
further studies on
Strauss's art of
orchestration: a field of
research which has still
remained insufficiently
examined. A study of
Macbeth namely
illuminates as clearly as
could be wished how much
significance Strauss
allotted to sound
alongside form. The
subjects were not merely
intended to generate an
individual figure, but
also specific tonal
colours, and the
instrumentation was
simultaneously designed
to provide an optimal
communication of
thematic-motivic texture
to the audience. The 'new
path' threw up
consequences which caused
Strauss a considerable
amount of difficulty. He
was however a fast
learner and had already
swum free with Don Juan
and all the more with Tod
und Verklarung.
WithL'Etoil
e, Chabrier composed a
light-hearted opera which
has increasingly enjoyed
revivals in recent
years.
The plot
is introduced by King Ouf
I who offers his subjects
an execution every year
on his birthday.
Unfortunately the problem
now arises that no crime
has recently been
committed which might
serve as a reason for an
execution. Finally, he
finds a would-be victim
in the young Lazuli.
However, according to
predictions by the
astrologer Siroco,
Lazuli's fate is closely
linked to the king's own
life. The comic opera is
further bolstered by a
story of mistaken
identities which involves
a great deal of
diplomacy, a love story
and a large number of
refined, yet catchy
melodies. Chabrier was
a master of the sensitive
and complicated art of
musical comedy, a field
where he can be compared
in equal measure to
Offenbach, Rossini and
Mozart.
This vocal
score is based on the
full score edited by Hugh
Macdonald which is
published as part of the
seriesL'Opera
francais.

For
this scholarly-critical
edition, the editor has
consulted no less than 16
sources, many more than
were ever used for any
other edition of the
Requiem; some of these
sources were never
evaluated before and one
source, a hand-written
vocal score, particularly
relevant to the
evaluation of the Liber
scriptus, was newly
discovered.
As
such, this edition offers
new philological and
editorial decisions
regarding phrasing,
articulation and dynamics
and succeeds in
presenting practical
suggestions to solve
musical problems and
those concerning the
interpretation of this
famous work.
This
edition comprises a
concise Critical
Commentary in the score
as well as a detailed one
on the Barenreiter
website. The most
important editions
published in the 19th
century are compared with
regard to musicological
questions in the work.
The genesis of some
misunderstandings
included in the 1913 and
1964 Ricordi editions is
traced. The first version
of the Liber scriptus for
chorus is included in the
appendix while the later
version for mezzosoprano
solo is to be found in
the main part of the
edition.

Piano solo
part for Paganini
Variations - Piano
Concerto No.3 by Poul
Ruders (2014). Score
available: WH32201
Programme note: In 1999
my friend, American
guitar virtuoso David
Starobin, wanted me to
write a concerto for
guitar and orchestra. It
quickly dawned on me,
that this commission
presented a golden
opportunity to contribute
to the time-honoured
tradition of composing a
series of variations on
Nicolo Paganini's famous
24th Caprice for violin
solo, a work which itself
is a set of variations.
The 16 bar (with the
first 4 bars repeated)
theme is not particularly
sophisticated or
intricate, but its
inherent simplicity and
logic just grow on you,
almost to the point
ofdistraction - and the
secret behind it being
hauled through the
wringer by composers as
disparate as Liszt,
Brahms, Rachmaninoff and
Lutoslawski is perhaps
found in its - what I'll
call, with a quick
nervous look over my
shoulder: brilliant
banality. You can do
anything with that tune,
it'll always be
recognizable and just
there, however much you
maul it. The piece
(subtitled Guitar
Concerto no 2) was
written pretty quickly,
premiered and
subsequently recorded for
Bridge Records with David
and the Odense Symphony
Orchestra conducted by
Jan Wagner, and everybody
was happy. But the story
didn't end there, and it
must be the ultimate
proof of the durability
of the theme, not to
mention the flexibility
and far-sightedness of
David Starobin , when he
14 years later suggested
why not transcribe the
solo part for piano?. The
idea appealed to me
immediately. One thing
was clear from the
beginning: the new
version could in no way
sound like a
transcription. My aim was
to end up with a
solo-part sounding like
were it the one-and-only,
the real thing, if you
like. The orchestral
score remains exactly the
same in both cases. Both
versions, the two
Paganini Variations, are
comparable to a set of
twins, not quite
identical, but almost.
And both each others's
equal. Poul Ruders.

Chopin
published his Scherzi
nos. 1 3 at more-or-less
regular intervals, in
1835, 1837 and 1840
almost as if he'd planned
them in advance. He
published his fourth and
final work in this genre
after a further three
years, in 1843. When
compared with its
predecessors, which were
largely bleak in mood,
this Scherzo no. 4 is
surprisingly cheerful.
With its sparkling runs
and its chains of chords
like dappled brush
strokes, this work seems
to summon up the
fairy-like spirit of
Mendelssohn's scherzi. In
editorial terms, however,
it is problematical.
Three parallel first
editions were published
in Germany, France and
England and the many
variants between them
have to be investigated
one at a time to
determine their
authenticity. This is a
task that has been solved
meticulously in this
revised, stand-alone
Urtext edition, which
explains the transmission
of this work in an
exemplary, transparent
manner for today's
pianists.

The
text of this poem is from
the Trinity Carol Roll,
an English manuscript
housed at the Wren
Library of Trinity
College, Cambridge. It is
originally in the Norfolk
dialect of Middle English
but has been modernized
for use in this setting.
Also, it's macaronic,
meaning it combines words
from two languages, the
other being Latin which
was in use by the church
when this carol was
written. The Latin
phrases come from
different parts of the
Advent/Christmas
liturgies; a sequence
called
Laetabundus, the
title of an Introit
antiphon called
Gaudeamus, and
the shepherds response in
the gospel of Luke 2:15,
Transeamus.

Gaudeamus Transeamus Let
us go Luke 2:15 The poet
compares the Virgin Mary
to a rose. She has a
special place among all
women in being chosen as
the mother of Jesus, and
likewise the rose has a
special place among all
flowers surpassing them
in complexity and beauty.
The music in this setting
mimics the petals of a
rose as it blooms.
Imagine the petals
unfurling over time as
does the music which
starts in unison for each
verse and expands outward
into two and three vocal
lines with increasingly
complex harmonic twists.
Word painting is employed
in several places but
none are as important as
the dramatic climax in
the fourth verse where
the shepherds along with
all the angels in heaven
proclaim Gloria in
excelsis Deo (Glory to
God on high). What a
sound that must be! On
these words the music
reaches it loudest point
as the sopranos rise to
their highest note and
the compassthe distance
between the highest and
lowest noteis at its
widest. The setting is
brought to a close as the
five Latin phrases that
finished each verse are
repeated as a coda and
musically summarize the
five verses of the
carol. The text of

rose as it blooms.
Imagine the petals
unfurling over time as
does the music which
starts in unison for each
verse and expands outward
into two and three vocal
lines with increasingly
complex harmonic twists.
Word painting is employed
in several places but
none are as important as
the dramatic climax in
the fourth verse where
the shepherds along with
all the angels in heaven
proclaim Gloria in
excelsis Deo (Glory to
God on high). What a
sound that must be! On
these words the music
reaches it loudest point
as the sopranos rise to
their highest note and
the compassathe distance
between the highest and
lowest noteais at its
widest. The setting is
brought to a close as the
five Latin phrases that
finished each verse are
repeated as a coda and
musically summarize the
five verses of the
carol. The text of
this poem is from the
Trinity Carol Roll, an
English manuscript housed
at the Wren Library of
Trinity College,
Cambridge. It is
originally in the Norfolk
dialect of Middle English
but has been modernized
for use in this setting.
Also, it's macaronic,
meaning it combines words
from two languages, the
other being Latin which
was in use by the church
when this carol was
written. The Latin
phrases come from
different parts of the
Advent/Christmas
liturgies; a sequence
called
Laetabundus, the
title of an Introit
antiphon called
Gaudeamus, and
the shepherd's response
in the gospel of Luke
2:15,
Transeamus.

“Now
II†is the second
part of a triptych of
chamber pieces entitled
“Profiles of
Lightâ€. The first
part is written for solo
piano (Now I, BA 11073),
the second for
unaccompanied cello. The
two instruments are then
combined in the
concluding third part,
Uriel (BA
11013).
All three
pieces were inspired by
the Abstract
Expressionist paintings
of the American artist
Barnett Newman. Newman's
work has had a formative
impact on Matthias
Pintscher's artistic
philosophy: what does it
mean to reduce things to
essentials while seeking
maximum immediacy of
expression? Several of
Newman's paintings have a
radiant light of uncommon
intensity, yet resembling
a dark illumination. The
same sort of thing is
found in the late works
of Franz Schubert, where
a comparable profundity
and retrospective
yearning likewise shine
through the surface of
even the brightest
tonalities.
This
is a piece about
resonances, about the
inward and outward givens
of existence, about life
itself: 'I find the cello
a highly suitable
instrument for depicting
such existential
conditions'.
