In composing songs, which Moniuszko wrote from his youth to the end of his life, he was guided by a definite idea. He wished to present Polish society with national, Polish songs, which could occupy an important place in the everyday life of the Polish people, so displacing imported trash. In a similar way Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski, with an extensive and comprehensive series of novels, supplanted the French romance, so popular, especially with contemporary ladies. Having composed a considerable number of songs, Moniuszko conceived the idea of publishing them in separate books under one general title: Songbook for Home Use. The title of this collection is significant evidence of the composers intention: these songs are to be used at home by every and any body in all the different circumstances of everyday life. They should suit the different moods and needs of the heart, so resulting in rich diversity. [Witold Rudzinski].

Do nizetti's Lucrezia Borgia was premiered at Milan's Teatro alla Scala on 26 December 1833 and is considered one of the composer's most important and innovative operas of the 1830s. Although, because of censorship issues, particularly in the south of Italy, it was initially slow to become popular, by the late 1830s it had become one of the composer's most popular operas, both in Italy and abroad, and remained an essential part of the composer's oeuvre until at least the end of the nineteenth century. Remarkable for its daring subject matter (with an unconventional, forceful heroine), it is also renowned for its challenging mixture of the comic and the tragic, something very unusual at the time and clearly an important influence on Giuseppe Verdi's middle period masterpieces. The present reduction for voice and piano derives from the critical edition of the score, recently published in this catalog: is based on Donizetti's autograph manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives in Milan), on the libretto for the premiere, on several printed editions of voice and piano, and on numerous additional scores of the period. It presents for the first time all the numerous additions that the composer made to the score over the course of ten years: a fascinating record of his changing music dramatic attitudes during this period. There is also a synthetic historical reconstruction of the genesis of the opera and of the description of the Sources as well as a selection of most interest to singers of Critical Commentary Notes.

Rappresenta ta per la prima volta al Teatro alla Scala il 26 dicembre 1833, Lucrezia Borgia e considerata una fra le piu importanti e innovative opere di Donizetti. Sebbene le resistenze della censura, soprattutto nel sud Italia, ne causarono inizialmente una lenta diffusione, dalla fine degli anni '30 dell'Ottocento essa divenne uno dei lavori piu popolari e significativi del compositore e tale rimase fino alla fine del XIX secolo. Notevole per il suo audace soggetto (con un'eroina non convenzionale e dalla forte personalita) essa e rinomata anche per l'impegnativa commistione di comico e tragico, un tratto piuttosto inusuale per l'epoca, che ebbe una chiara influenza sui capolavori verdiani di meta secolo. La presente riduzione per canto e pianoforte e condotta sull'edizione critica della partitura, da poco pubblicata in questo stesso catalogo: si basa sul manoscritto autografo di Donizetti (conservato presso l'Archivio Storico Ricordi di Milano), sul libretto della prima rappresentazione, su alcune riduzioni a stampa per canto e pianoforte e su varie altre fonti dell'epoca. L'edizione presenta per la prima volta tutte le aggiunte che il compositore apporto alla partitura nel corso di dieci anni, costituendo un'affascinante testimonianza dei mutevoli approcci di Donizetti alla materia drammatico musicale durante questa fase della sua carriera. Il volume comprende una sintesi della ricostruzione della genesi storica dell'opera e della descrizione delle fonti e una selezione di Note del Commento Critico fra quelle piu funzionali alle esigenze di cantanti e pianisti accompagnatori.

It is a great pleasure to present, with Thanatopsis, maestro Kissin's opus 4, an expressive setting of the ground-breaking poem from the quill of William Cullen Bryant. Published in in the form known today in 1821, it is an early example of American romantic poetry of the 19th century. Bryant is today reckoned among the group of “Fireside Poets” or “Schoolroom Poets,” names that allude to the places where their poems were usually recited. His poems – first and foremost Thanatopsis (“A Consideration of Death”) as his most famous – are rooted in the English tradition, but at the same time show Bryant's openness to a genuine American language and lifeworld. Evgeny Kissin's setting is a large vocal scene intensely informed by recitative, which congenially allows the prevailing mood of the text to resound. Our edition additionally includes German and French translations of the poem and an informative afterword about Bryant's life and work and the genesis of Thanatopsis.
