WAB 29. Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Anyone who is familiar with Bruckner?s symphonies and great masses will probably be astonished upon hearing his Missa solemnis of 1854: can the tradition of the Viennese classics still be so clearly evident in a work by Bruckner' And yet, isn?t it also possible to hear much of Bruckner?s later style'With this edition, the earliest of Bruckner?s orchestral masses is now available as an Urtext edition. It reflects the latest scholarly research, and the complete performance material is available on sale. Compared with Bruckner?s late masses, the demands on chorus and soloists are considerably less. The horns play in just two movements and can be replaced by trombones. This rarely performed work offers many choirs an exciting alternative to the better-known masses ? not only for the Bruckner anniversary in 2024! / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soli [SATB], SATB et Orchestre

BR-CPEB D 3 (Wq 240) - Oratorio. Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. Of the three oratorios which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed when he was music director in Hamburg, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is particularly intended to create splendor and effect with its use of magnificent-sounding trumpets and timpani. Bach liked this work very much and had it published in 1787, the year before his death. The following year the oratorio was performed by Mozart in Vienna.The text of the oratorio by Carl Wilhelm Ramler (1725?1798; better known as the poet of the frequently-set ?Der Tod Jesu?) covers the Easter story of the disciples at Emmaus and the doubting Thomas, up to the image of Jesus ascending to heaven.The score is published as Vol. IV,2 of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Edition, edited by the Packard Humanities Institute. Carus publishes the vocal score and choral score for this work. The full score and parts can also be obtained from Carus. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soli [STB], SATB
