In these amplifications of three of Haydn's best known string quartets, Op. 71, Wranitzky expanded the ensemble to nine players by adding flute, oboe, two horns and double bass, making it one of the larger divertimento scorings for the period. First published in 1800, but overlooked by performers ever since, they are now issued here as a 3 volume set in full score with set of parts. The first of the group received its modern premiere on 1 March 2008 in New York's Carnegie Hall.

An important inspiration for this composition was the delightful variety of sound possessed by the flute, a variety that in recent decades has been investigated thoroughly by numerous contemporary composers and flautists, who have exploited it with magical effect, and which is able to realize successfully not only musical but also extra musical ideas.

Composed by Andre-Charles Messager. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. Cello, String Orchestra & Harp. Instrumental parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH238-IPT. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH238-IPT).

ISBN 9790708059172.

A new discovery for cellists an attractive and lyrical Barcarolle for solo cello with string orchestra and harp by the famous operetta and ballet composer André Messager. The autograph score recently came to light in the USA and is the composer's own adaptation of a Barcarolle for violin and piano he published in 1897. This is a welcome rediscovery for violinists too, for the original version is also included as part of the new edition. Both cellists and violinists will therefore have a choice of either piano or orchestral accompaniment. Messager's Barcarolle represents a substantial addition to the instrumental legacy of a sadly neglected French master.

Harpsichord; piano

SKU: HH.HH236-SOL

Composed by Richard Fitzwilliam. Edited by Gerald Gifford. Harpsichord; Piano. Playing score. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH236-SOL. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH236-SOL).

ISBN 9790708059851.

Lord Fitzwilliam championed the performance of Handel’s music in late 18th century England, yet his own compositions – themselves often indebted to and inspired by Handel – have never before appeared in print. Surveying a broad cross section of Fitzwilliam’s works, this edition, prepared by Gerald Gifford, Honorary Keeper of Music at the Museum, is of considerable musicological interest and marks an important addition to the keyboard repertoire of the period.

Soprano voice & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH153-FSP

Composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Edited by Michael Talbot. Voice (Soprano) & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH153-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH153-FSP).

ISBN 9790708059073.

This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, takes the form of a lover's plea to Clori, who is proving 'hard to get'. He begs her finally to yield to his love. Even if she does not reciprocate it, she should at least soothe his pain temporarily by glancing in his direction. As so often in Baroque cantatas, the exaggerated emotion seems to be ironised to some extent: Albinoni and his poet simultaneously express and critically observe the lover's feelings. The two arias are nicely contrasted, the first containing a large amount of written in vocal ornamentation and the second, in contrast, conveying a bluff breeziness.

Wind band

SKU: HH.HH121-SSC

Composed by Timothy Raymond. Wind Band. Study score. Duration 22 minutes. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH121-SSC. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH121-SSC).

ISBN 9790708041436.

The opening movement begins high up with stylised birdsong and moves down through the registers, through Frye’s Motet, to the depths of a tuba solo. The second movement is a slow processional which revolves around a series of chords and leads, without a break, through a tutti passage in octaves to the third, which opens with a trumpet solo and moving through several fast sometimes, contrapuntal episodes to a triumphal arrival of a quotation from a Mass by Jacob Obrecht.

Violins; viols; consort

SKU: HH.HH251-FSP

ISBN 9790708092032.

The five three part (SSB) and nine four part (SSTB) dances in this edition represent the complete surviving consort music of Maurice Webster. Webster, a skilled composer with a distinctive style, appears to have been the main catalyst for introducing the 'string quartet' scoring in dance music to England in the 1620s. The development of this idiom had a significant impact on the music of his contemporaries such as Simon Ives, Charles Coleman and William Lawes, who fully embraced it by the 1630s.

Igna z Pleyel was one of the most popular and prolific composers in western Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century. This symphony in C major was written when he was 21 years old, after he had completed five years of study with Joseph Haydn.

Thes e four pieces for piano and cello have been gestating over many years but were not fully realized until 2009. The music's origins lie partly in the personal and partly in the poetic.

Wind band, timpani, percussion, marimba & bass guitar

ISBN 9790708059998.

Writ ten for the Wirral Schools' Concert Band in 1987, Strong Winds, Gentle Airs is built, as the title suggests, from two types of material – one forceful and rhythmic, the other more relaxed, with slow moving, almost static harmonies. In revising the piece for publication, the composer has endeavoured to retain as much of the original character as possible.

Soprano voice & orchestra

SKU: HH.HH400-FSC

Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Edited by Anton Gabmayer. Voice (Soprano) & Orchestra. Full score. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH400-FSC. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH400-FSC).

ISBN 9790708059790.

Hayd n appears to have had a particular regard for Celia’s aria Ah, come il core mi palpita from his opera La fedeltà premiata, submitting it, with only minor changes, to the Viennese publishing house Artaria, who issued a score and full set of parts in 1782. The title Cantata, which Artaria used for the first edition, was the one Haydn chose in his letter recommending separate publication, and it underlines the fact that this is not merely an aria from a larger work, but an independent work of art. Indeed,Ah, come il core mi palpita is a remarkable self contained composition and merits inclusion in any serious concert.

String quartet

SKU: HH.HH188-FSP

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. String Quartet. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH188-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH188-FSP).

ISBN 9790708059639.

The present set of three string quartets, published in Vienna in 1799 by André, are arranged from two violin sonatas and a piano trio; a certain independence is noticeable in the anonymous arranger, but the result is three strikingly effective new quartets to add to the Mozart oeuvre which will delight all players familiar with the originals and prove a gracious alternative to quartets who look for some escape from the familiar and over exposed repertoire.

Flute & string trio

SKU: HH.HH227-FSP

Composed by Alessandro Rolla. Edited by Michael Elphinstone. Flute & String Trio. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH227-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH227-FSP).

ISBN 9790708059387.

The present quartets reveal not only his first hand understanding of string technique and his proficiency in writing effectively for strings, but also a clear familiarity with the flute of his day. They feature a number of attractive solos for all four instruments without recourse to gratuitous displays of virtuosity for its own sake.

Orchestra

SKU: HH.HH401-FSC

ISBN 9790708059806.

Pley el was one of the most popular and prolific composers in western Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century. This symphony, composed in 1791, represents a grandiose gesture to his teacher Haydn, since the Adagio second movement and the Finale are clearly related to his music. A dramatic first movement and a surprisingly rich Minuet and Trio complete this striking work, written for London's Professional Concerts society.

Soprano voice & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH148-FSP

Composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Edited by Michael Talbot. Voice (Soprano) & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Duration 7 minutes. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH148-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH148-FSP).

ISBN 9790708041993.

This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is a rare example, for this composer, of a Sujetkantate - the term coined by the music historian Eugen Schmitz for a cantata that re-enacts an episode taken from mythology or history. Here, the subject is Ariadne, who awakes to find her lover, Theseus, gone. Rushing to the shore, she sees his departing ship and curses his faithlessness - though not without betraying her continuing love for him. Albinoni rises to the occasion in music of power and eloquence.

Soprano voice & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH149-FSP

Composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Edited by Michael Talbot. Voice (Soprano) & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Duration 7 minutes. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH149-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH149-FSP).

ISBN 9790708059035.

This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is on the evergreen subject of unrequited love. Elmindo, whose overtures to Irene are producing no result, masochistically begs her to look at him. His game plan is to weep even more profusely as a result, thereby provoking her into taking pity on him and reciprocating his affections. This is Albinoni at his most wistful and charming - with enough ironic detachment to prevent the emotion from becoming overblown.

Soprano voice & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH154-FSP

Composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Edited by Michael Talbot. Voice (Soprano) & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH154-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH154-FSP).

ISBN 9790708059080.

This cantata, from an important manuscript in Berlin containing 18 Albinoni cantatas for soprano and continuo, is on the common subject of a lover's jealousy. Clori falls in love with Fileno at first sight, but he proves unfaithful to her and a lovers' quarrel ensues. The music, by turns wistful and assertive, follows Clori's see sawing emotions, ending with a show of defiance. Albinoni's finely chiseled, undulating vocal line demonstrates his great gifts as a melodist.

Violin & orchestra

SKU: HH.HH027-STR

Composed by Andrea Zani. Edited by J. Hirshberg and S. McVeigh. Violin & Orchestra. String set. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH027-STR. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH027-STR).

This very fine concerto is remarkable for its powerful expression associated with the minor mode, for its active contrapuntal writing, and for its rich chromatic harmony. In the first movement the highly effective solo part makes the most of the resonating properties of the key of A minor, from the ingenious opening variant of the motto to the brilliant capriccio around the open E string that leads to the final Da Capo.

Organ solo

SKU: HH.HH304-SOL

Composed by Timothy Raymond. Organ Solo. Playing score. Duration 14 minutes. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH304-SOL. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH304-SOL).

ISBN 9790708092537.

Tim Raymond's dramatic and inventive organ piece was composed for the instrument in St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, and was inspired by a plainchant melody found in a manuscript compiled there in 1481. Atmospheric, mysterious and fluid textures alternate with energetic, toccata like passages, reflecting and transforming the pitch structures and temporal proportions of the chant a meditation on the Trinity. A further dimension connects and resonates with the colourful pantheism and cosmic symbolism of the Van Eyck brothers' famous fifteenth century altarpiece, The Adoration of the Sacred Lamb, created for, and housed in, St Bavo's.

Clavichord; harpsichord; keyboard; piano

SKU: HH.HH300-SOL

Composed by Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. Clavichord; Harpsichord; Keyboard; Piano. Playing score. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH300-SOL. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH300-SOL).

ISBN 9790708092490.

Carl Fasch was notoriously reluctant to have his music made public and even asked that much of it should be destroyed. What remains, however, supports the view of the contemporary writer on music Johann Reichardt that Fasch was the true successor to C. P. E. Bach, with whom he shared keyboard duties for Frederick the Great. In this first volume of his complete keyboard works, the six sonatas, which appeared in print and were well regarded during the composer's lifetime, show him to be a minor master and an eloquent advocate for the eclectic expressive style then current in Berlin.

Cello & piano

SKU: HH.HH286-FSP

Composed by Anton Eberl. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. Cello & Piano. This is a very interesting sonata as it bridges the gap between the cello/continuo sonatas and the ones by Beethoven. Eberl's part for violin is also included. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH286-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH286-FSP).

ISBN 9790708092254.

A true Grand Duo for cello and piano to provide a much needed connection between the first sonatas for this combination -- by Beethoven -- and the later 19th century repertoire. Eberl's heroic style provides a masterly alternative to the over familiar works, with the balance of power between the two players scrupulously maintained throughout, and ingenious formal innovations. The Rhapsodie finale in particular, with sections in varying metres and moods, resolves in an elegant Pastorale, an entirely new format for this combination. The composer thoughtfully provided an adaptation of the cello part for violin containing many differences which will be of interest to players of both instruments; both string parts are included in this publication.

Descant recorder & piano

SKU: HH.HH271-FSP

ISBN 9790708092582.

Esca pade was written in 2011 at the instigation of Walter Auer, flautist of the Orsolino Wind Quintet, the ensemble to whom the work is dedicated. In musical language chiefly characterized by the transference of small pitch groups between instruments, to striking colouristic effect, the composer takes us on a journey through four short movements leading us towards and away from momentary staging posts en route.

Two violins & basso continuo

SKU: HH.HH293-FSP

Composed by Giovanni Battista Vitali. Edited by Martin Perkins. Two Violins & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH293-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH293-FSP).

ISBN 9790708092407.

Giov anni Vitali's set of twelve sonatas Op. 5 for various combinations of strings and continuo, published in 1669, was the Bolognese composer's most ambitious collection of chamber music to date. He most likely wrote it as an application piece for membership of the prestigious Accademia Filarmonica, for each sonata has a dedicatory subtitle bearing the name of one of the city's noblemen. This first volume of Martin Perkins's scholarly performing edition contains five works – the sonatas for two violins and organ continuo.
