With 'L'Etoile?, 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. / Opéra

Par DELFRATI CARLO. Il pensiero musicale, articolato in tre volumi, sviluppa i concetti della teoria musicale e gli elementi della notazione in modo progressivo. Ogni volume è corredato da CD audio per le attività di ascolto, ear-training, dettato musicale. IMPOSTAZIONE E METODOLOGIA: Il corso è frutto di oltre quarant'anni di studi e di insegnamento dell'autore, Carlo Delfrati, e della sua concezione fortemente innovativa della didattica musicale: la formazione teorica va di pari passo con attività pratiche, creative e analitiche. INOLTRE: L'apprendimento della lettura è graduale e progressivo, grazie ad un approccio basato sull'immediatezza percettiva di melodie e figurazioni ritmiche. Per le letture (ritmiche e melodiche) viene utilizzato il repertorio musicale di ogni periodo storico: dal Medioevo a oggi, dal tradizione popolare alla musica etnica. Un'antologia che servirà anche negli studi più avanzati./ Solfège/Formation Musicale / Opéra Théorique ou Didactique

Edition no.: BVK 2270ISBN: 9783761822708Volume / Series: Documenta musicologica II/45 / Bärenreiter FacsimileEditor: Konrad, UlrichLanguage(s) of work: English, GermanProduct format: FacsimileBinding: Half-leather bindingPages / Format: 405 S. - 41,7 x 30,0 cm 'This Tristan will be something formidable! This last act!''I fear the opera will be banned ' if the whole work is not parodied through bad performance: only mediocre performances can save me! Thoroughly good ones will surely drive people crazy.'Richard WagnerWhile working on the score to 'Tristan und Isolde', Richard Wagner expressed his excitement and elation about his new musical drama. Indeed, the radical originality of the work proved to be both unique and forward-looking: Over 150 years ago it signified the 'dawn' of the modern era and to this day it has not lost any of its fascination. Throughout his life, Richard Wagner was proud of his even handwriting.He constantly strove to produce manuscripts of a high calligraphic standard. The Tristan manuscript is also clearly written. More so than in his other scores however, traces of his working process are evident. It is precisely this aspect of the autograph that makes it fascinating. Reading it, one is witness to Wagner's highlyconcentrated, powerful and relentless writing. This manuscript is in every possible way unparalleled reflecting individuality and uniqueness.In time for the 200th anniversary of Wagner's birth in 2013, this great work will be published as a BÄRENREITER FACSIMILE in cooperation with the National Archive of the Richard-Wagner-Stiftung Bayreuth. In addition to the complete score, the edition includes the autograph concert ending of the Vorspiel as well as three pages that Wagner rejected while composing and later used for sketches.Ulrich Konrad, the renowned musicologist describes the genesis and performance history of the work in his comprehensive commentary. He also details the physical appearance and condition of the autograph as well as giving an insight into the musical language of Wagner.

Opera in three acts-Lotario HWV 26Opera in three actsHandel???s opera Lotario was first heard at the King???s Theater in the Haymarket on 2 December 1729 and had a run of nine performances. Though never revived in the composer???s lifetime Handel reused many of its arias in his later operas sometimes altering the words.The historical background of the plot is the conflict between Otto I (912 973) and Berengar of Ivrea for the Italian crown and Otto???s marriage to the Italian queen Adelaide in 951. In the course of composition the name of the hero (???Ottone??? in Salvi???s libretto) was altered to ???Lotario??? since Handel had already written an opera entitled Ottone on thelife of Otto II (955 983) in 1722.The vocal score contains the version composed for the performances of December 1729 and January 1730. It is based on the Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition.- Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition.- Full score (BA4074) and vocal score (BA4074-90) available for sale.- Performance material (BA4074-72) available for hire

Opera with a Prologue and four Acts (First version) / Opera in five Acts (Second version) Dialogue versions. Par GOUNOD CHARLES. Charles Gounod’s “Faust” secured its international recognition in the version as an entirely sung opera, which from thenceforth has largely obscured the fact that the work was originally composed with spoken dialogues. The early versions staged prior to the 1869 performance at the Paris Opéra containing substantial unknown material and with dialogues and melodramas are the subject of this new edition. (The third version “version opera” was published in a separate edition BA 8713 in 2016.) Even as the rehearsals were taking place at the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1858, during the first series of performances at the theatre in 1859, furthermore as the 1862 revival was approaching and during the performances on the smaller stage at the Place du Châtelet, there were constant changes and revisions. It is, thus, impossible to identify manifestly definitive versions. Nevertheless, by drawing on the entire source material now at hand (including fascinating material only recently discovered) and on the whole gamut of aspects communicated by the reception, Paul Prévost systematically presents us with a score laid out in two main versions in whose chronology constancy and change become transparent. With all the musical changes having been documented, the result is a practicable score for performances which reveals a still far too unknown “Faust” – a “Faust” that is rooted in the tradition of the opéra comique. Quite a few musical numbers are published as a score for the first time in this edition: the trio for Faust, Wagner and Siebel “À l’étude ô mon maître”, the duet of Valentin and Marguerite “Adieu, mon bon frère!”, Méphistophélès’ air “Maître Scarabée”, Siebel’s romance “Versez vos chagrins dans mon âme!”, Valentin’s air with chorus “Chaque jour, nouvelle affaire”, the chorus of witches “Un deux et trois”, and also seven melodramas whose missing or incomplete orchestration has been written for our edition. It was only recently that the long-lost second part of Faust’s original cavatina “Salut! demeure chaste et pure” was unearthed. Only in details of orchestration do other numbers differ from the well-known pieces./ Répertoire / Opéra

Mit ?Le comte Ory' erscheint der fünfte Band aus der vielbeachteten Reihe ?Works of Gioachino Rossini'. Nach seiner Uraufführung in Paris feierte das Werk große Erfolge an den europäischen Bühnen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die turbulente Komödie um den Grafen Ory, der sich mit seinen wüsten Kumpanen Zutritt zu einem Nonnenkloster verschafft, ist eines von Rossinis effektvollsten Meisterwerken.Der Herausgeber Damien Colas legt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ?Center for Italian Opera Studies Chicago' eine kritische Neuausgabe vor, die unter Heranziehung einer Vielzahl von Quellen einen originalen Text des Werkes präsentiert, der in vielen Fällen von der bislang erklungenen Überlieferung abweicht. So konnten originale Besetzungen, formale Verläufe und zahlreiche fragliche Lesarten wieder hergestellt bzw. korrigiert werden. / Opéra
