Max Bruch succeeded in composing an impressive setting of the well known Advent text, O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf (O Saviour, tear open the heavens). Compositionally it is extremely sophisticated in its construction; Bruch combines both the choir and orchestra in a powerfully expressive and moving portrayal of mankind waiting for the coming of the Saviour. Following the premiere of the work in 1869 it was celebrated as Bruch's most important choral work, but later it fell largely into oblivion. Almost 150 years after it was composed, for the first time a critical-scholarly edition is now available to the public. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.1036400.

Beethoven described his Missa solemnis as his greatest work several times, a work which, coming from the heart, was to touch and move audiences. The surviving sources enable us to recognize how intensively and how long he worked on the composition in order to give what he felt was adequate expression to the text. In its length and musical demands, the Missa solemnis goes far beyond typical liturgical settings, and the premiere took place, for good reason, in a concert hall. The chorus plays a key structural role in the work, and in the process has to master some extremely demanding sections. The leading Beethoven expert Ernst Herttrich has produced an Urtext edition based on the available sources, and reflecting the latest state of scholarship.

Chorale cantata. Composed by Max Reger. Edited by Gunther Massenkeil. German title: O wie selig seid ihr doch. Sacred vocal music, Mourning, death. Single Part, Violin 1. Composed 1903. Op. WoO V/4 Nr. 2. 2 pages. Duration 15 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 50.405/11. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5040511).

ISBN 9790007081713. Key: D minor. Language: German/English.

The choral cantatas are Reger's most personal and most substantial contribution to one of the principal categories of Protestant church music, and they are only major works in this field by one of the foremost composers of his time. This is true despite the fact that Reger himself does not appear to have considered the cantatas to figure among his principal compositions, as he gave them no opus numbers. In contrast to the three other chorale cantatas of Reger which exist in a definitive form, there is no record of the place or date of the first performance of O wie selig, or indeed of any performance of it during the composer's lifetime.

The Blue Rose Variations is one of several works in which the composer has drawn on ragtime and blues. The organ work is based on two transformations of the popular piano piece To A Wild Rose (Woodland Sketches, Op.51 No.1) by the American composer, Edward MacDowell (1860-1908). During the course of the Variations, To A Wild Rose appears as a blues and also as a classical rag, often as both together. The sections are Theme: a quiet blues; Variation I: a pedal solo in varied metres based on the blues in fast tempo; Variation II: the first appearance of the rag as a background to the blues as a 2' pedal solo; Variation III: a version of Variation I now involving manuals too; Variation IV: another blues solo against the rag; Variation V: another version of Variation I with the pedal solo almost entirely transferred to the manuals; Variation VI: a final confrontation between the blues and the rag, now much decorated. First performed in New York in April 1986. Duration c.15 mins.

“Comp osed in 1942, Titelouze?s tombstone by Marcel Dupré is a set of sixteen chorals for Organ. Based on liturgical rhythms, these chorals are rated easy and medium in term of difficulty. This musical memorial to Jehan Titelouze, an organist who lived at the period of the Spanish Armada (16th century), is a pedagogical work with melody mainly based on Gregorian music. These sixteen studies, all very different and very progressive are: 1. Creator Alme Siderum (3 voices ? manuals only) 2. Jesu Redemptor Omnium (3 voices ? manuals only) 3. A solis Ortus Cardine (3 voices) 4. Audi Benigne Conditor (3 voice) 5. Te Lucis Ante Terminum (4 voices) 6. Coelestis Urbs Jerusalem (4 voices) 7. As Regias Agni Dapes (4 voices) 8. Veni Creator Spiritus (4 voices) 9. Vexilla Regis (4 voices) 10. Pange Lingua (3 voices) 11. Ave Maris Stella (4 voices) 12. Iste Confessor (4 voices) 13. Lucis Creator Optime (4 voices) 14. Ut Queant Laxis (5 voices) 15. Te Splendor et Virtus (5 voices) 16. Placare Christe Servullis (Toccata) Each choral of this set is really colourful and can be considered a masterpiece.”.
