Fassung Ii. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The St. John Passion ranks alongside the St. Matthew Passion, the Christmas Oratorio, the Magnificat and the B minor Mass as one of the great vocal works from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Leipzig years. In contrast to his other large-scale choral works, however, Bach never gave this work a definitive final form. Rather, for every performance he substantially revised the general concept of the piece and also changed numerous details. All previous editions of the St. John Passion have combined readings from various layers of sources and thus present the work in a form which was never heard during Bach’s lifetime. Consequently, the wish often expressed by conductors to perform anauthentic version by Bach could not be easily achieved. The present critical, new edition of the St. John Passion fulfills this wish and for the first time makes available the complete music of the second version of the work as it was performed under Bach’s direction in 1725. Since a number of movements were replaced by others, including the opening chorus, this version differs most dramatically from the “standard” version which is well known today. J. S. Bach's Johannes Passion BWV 245 for SATB and Piano. Die Johannespassion zählt neben der doppelchörigen Matthäuspassion, dem Weihnachtsoratorium, dem Magnificat und der h-Moll-Messe zu den groß en Vokalwerken der Leipziger Jahre Johann Sebastian Bachs. Im Gegensatz zu den ubrigen oratorischen Werken hat Bach / Musique religieuse / Date parution : 2005-12-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATBB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières

Par YOUNG TOBY. for SATB and piano This upbeat Christmas song sets the traditional and well-known wassailing text to thrilling effect. To be performed 'with inebriated joy', Young's original setting is fast, spritely, and increasingly raucous, with a pleasing array of textures and an exhilarating key change to herald the start of the final climax./ Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Piano

The heroic pastoral Daphnis et Egle was performed only once, on 29 October 1753, for the entertainment of King Louis XV at Fontainebleau and remained unpublished until today. This edition is based on Rameaus autograph manuscript, a copy of the separate parts, and the libretto published by Ballard in 1753. A comparison of the sources reveals two versions of the work: the original version and the one revised for Fontainebleau, whereby the differences lie mainly in the final divertissement. This edition recommends the Fontainebleau version - which is actually more complete in its musical form, in particular with its overture and two ariettas - but also reconstructs the original state of the final divertissement (presented in the appendix) before it was revised. / Chant Et Piano

Commandé pour Tenebrae et leur directeur, Nigel Short. John Tavener écrit:'Mère et enfant célèbre le miracle de l'accouchement. Il célèbre aussi Marie dans son aspect universel en tant que mère de tous les Prophètes, et co-rédemptrice du Christ. Mais derrière tout cela est la lumière théophanique, unique et infini, et le même dans toutes les traditions religieuses. La musique est à la fois tendre, extatique, et lumineux et suit le texte. J'ai interpolées dans le poème Brian Keeble, textes célébrant l'éternel féminin en grec, puis à l'apogée une explosion en sanskrit de l'ATMA. Telle est la réalité suprême, le vrai Soi, brillant et infini, le seul Dieu unique, exprimée en musique par pulsation coups impressionnants sur le Falun temple hindou avec orgue et choeur en blocs massifs. Cela semble dire que 'Mère et enfant 'le réel sont deux-delà de la naissance et au-delà la mort et au-delà du temps.' / Orgue
