There comes a galley, laden / Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
O saviour, open heaven's gate / O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf
O Lord, how shall I meet you / Wie soll ich dich empfangen
Angels from the realms of Glory / Hort der Engel helle Lieder
As I was watching o'er my sheep / Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht
Good Christian men rejoice / Nun singet und seid froh

Composed by Johann Pachelbel. Edited by Thomas Röder. This edition: Edition of selected works, Urtext edition. Linen. Johann Pachelbel. Complete Vocal Works, Volume 7. Edition of selected works, Score, anthology. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10557_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10557).

ISBN 9790006553068. 33 x 25.8 cm inches. Language: German.

The Complete Vocal Works Johann Pachelbel is known today as a composer of organ music and of a world-famous instrumental canon which frequently features in concert programmes and recording catalogues. However, the same can be said of only a few of his vocal compositions. At most, the motets appear occasionally in church music repertoire. Pachelbelâ??s arias, vocal concerti and large-scale Magnificats have received little attention up to now.

Church musicians and musicologists have long wished for a critical edition of these important works, which survive in Pachelbelâ??s manuscript and were largely composed in his main places of work, Erfurt and Nuremberg . As always with such ventures, new discoveries are to be expected regarding the body of works, source material and the context of the works. This concerns not only beautiful music, but rather a deepening of our understanding of Pachelbel as a key figure between southern and central German traditions, and the recognition of an oeuvre which has all too often been pushed into the shadows by the mighty Bach.


The Critical Edition

The edition aims to make available all of Johann Pachelbelâ??s surviving vocal works in the best possible form. It is edited by the Institut für Musikwissenschaft at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Institut für Kirchenmusik at the Kunstuniversität Graz.

Two volumes per year are planned.

As a chronological order is not possible in many cases, the individual works have been arranged according to scoring within their groups. Fragments and works where Johann Pachelbelâ??s authorship is doubtful appear at the end of the respective group.

Each volume includes an introduction (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Ger). Format 25.5 x 32.5 cm; cloth-bound

The modern a cappella series offers new, challenging a cappella music with a jazzpop sound. The editions are orientated towards the needs of the developing jazz-pop choral scene. a special choral sound, groove, improvisation and choreography play central roles - individual singers can come to the fore as soloists. In short, modern a cappella is a new category of choral music; there are no covered pop songs and also no serious new music, rather grooving, contemporary vocal music with unconventional texts and choral presence. The series is geared towards highly motivated youth choirs as well as ambitious ensembles from all genres.

Mixed Voices SSATB. Composed by Dá and niel Dobos. EMB. Classical, General Worship, Sacred. Softcover. 24 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #Z15140. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (HL.50605353).

ISBN 9781705180310. UPC: 196288106210.

Dá niel Dobos (* 1994) studied with Gyula Fekete and Máté Bella at the Department of Composition of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. In his violin concerto Sylvanus, he uses the technical repertoire of Transylvanian folk violinists. His piano piece, Drumul dracului, which won the first prize in 2018 at the Béla Bartók World Competition, also focuses on a new interpretation of Transylvanian folk music roots. In Callis stellarum, Dobos set one of the apocalyptic visions by the prophet Isaiah: “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.” At the end of the composition, the Hungarian folk song “Csillagok, csillagok” (Stars and Stars) is heard as a kind of hopeful association. Commissioned by the municipality of Debrecen, this piece won the first prize in the youth mixed choir category of the HangKELTO Youth Composition Competition held in 2021.
