SSAATTBB chorus a cappella - 5

SKU: CA.7070100

Composed by Arnold Schonberg. Edited by Iris Pfeiffer. Carus digital: Extra digital products. Choral Score. Composed 1907. Op. 13. Duration 9 minutes. Carus Verlag #7070100. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.7070100).

ISBN 9790007252267. German/English. Text: Meyer, Conrad Ferdinand.

Friede auf Erden op. 13 is regarded as Arnold Schoenberg's last tonal composition and is one of the few choral works of the Second Viennese School. On the same day that he completed his op. 13, Schoenberg made the first sketches for his 2nd String Quartet, a key work in atonal music. Although Schoenberg later orchestrated Friede auf Erden, he intended the piece to be performed unaccompanied.To help rehearsing the work, this choral score contains the piano transcription made by Anton Webern for use in rehearsals for the planned first performance. The text for op. 13 is a secular Christmas poem by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. At the time of its composition (1907), Schoenberg thought the vision of a reine Harmonie unter Menschen (pure harmony amongst people) described in the poem was conceivable, but he later distanced himself from this idea. What remained is a composition of great artistic power and depth - a real showpiece for ambitious choirs!

SATB vocal soli, SATB choir, bassoon, 2 violins, basso continuo

SKU: CA.3115019

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Klaus Hofmann. Arranged by Klaus Hofmann. This edition: urtext. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Bach vocal. German title: Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed circa 1706. BWV 150. Duration 17 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.150/19. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3115019).

ISBN 9790007136819. Key: B minor. Language: German/English.

The cantata Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (O my Lord, I long for thee) BWV 150 is one of the earliest cantatas from Bach's Muhlhausen period. Its authenticity was long disputed, partly because of the stylistic characteristics of this early work, but also because the cantata only survives in sources dating from the period after Bach's death. However, in recent years a hidden dedication to Conrad Meckbach, a member of the Muhlhausen town council and patron of Bach, has been deciphered: the initial letters of the free poetry reveal the acrostic Doctor Conrad Meckbach (in the 18th century spelling), revealing a link to the city of Muhlhausen and almost certainly confirming Bach's authorship of the cantata. The occasion of the composition of the work is still unknown. The small instrumental scoring for just two violins, bassoon, and continuo, plus the fact that only the soprano is given a solo movement, suggest a performance with modest resources. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3115000.

4 Saxophones SATBar

For SATBar Saxophone Quartet. Composed by Conrad Kocher. Arranged by Bill Perconti. Quartet; Solo Small Ensembles; Woodwind - Saxophone Quartet. Advance Music: Holiday Celebration Series. Christmas; Epiphany; Sacred; Traditional; Winter. Score and Part(s). Advance Music #01-ADV7429. Published by Advance Music (AP.1-ADV7429).

UPC: 805095074291. English.

The lyrics for As with Gladness Men of Old were written by Englishman William Dix (1837--1898) in the 1860s, reportedly on the day of the Epiphany while Dix was sick in bed. The tune was included in a collection of German chorales edited by Conrad Kocher and published in the 1830s. As a testimony to the flexibility of such music, the hymn is also sung during Thanksgiving under the title For the Beauty of the Earth.

This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar)---rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment---strives to include all of the players in the music making, particularly by distributing the melodic material. All dynamics and articulations, minimally marked, should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.
