In 1648 Heinrich Schütz published a collection of 29 motets with five to seven parts titled 'Geistliche Chor-Music? (Sacred Choir Music). Here, the term 'Chor? (choir) refers not only to a (large) vocal ensemble but, more generally, to a group of musicians, vocal or instrumental. As explained by Schütz in the foreword he published with the collection, all parts of the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally. This practice, common in Schütz's time, has been incorporated into Bärenreiter's new publication. The edition includes the twelve five-part motets at original pitch with basso continuo. In addition, instrumental parts for string and wind instruments can be purchased. These parts, which include the text, serve to support and complement the choral sound 'colla parte?. To enable varying tone-colour possibilities, instrumental parts are available in different transpositions.Of great significance is the detailed foreword on performance practice by Manfred Cordes.- Reflects the latest in musicological research based on the 'New Schütz Edition?- Includes a detailed foreword (Eng/Ger) on performance practice by a Schütz expert- Instrumental parts (strings, winds) available in transpositionsManfred Cordes is a specialist for the music of the 16th and early 17th centuries.

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Haydn's delightful Missa Brevis in F was both one of his earliest and latest works: he originally scored it for soloists, choir and strings, and returned to it at the end of his life to add wind parts. Either version may be performed using this new, authoritative edition, prepared by the Haydn scholar Denis McCaldin. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Chorale

ou le Chant MultipliéLa véritable raison d'être de la pratique du chant choral est la démarche vers l'Autre. Les facteurs humains constituent le fondement essentiel de tout travail d'élaboration chorale.A travers cet ouvrage, l'auteur engage une réflexion sur l'espace choral, appréhendé dans la globalité de ses richesses et de ses contradictions. Il s'adresse à tous ceux qui s'adonnent au chant choral (choristes, chefs de choeur, musiciens...) se consacrant à des degrés divers à magnifier la voix chorale. Un survol historique permet de mettre en évidence la nature de toute entité chorale, incarnation éphémère d'un art musical en perpétuelle évolution, puis de réfléchir aux incidences de l'héritage des siècles passés sur une pratique partagée, au coeur d'un présent sans cesse à réinventer. / Livre
