On 20 December 1823 Helmina von Chézy's 'great romantic drama? 'Rosamunde? received its premiere performance at Vienna's Theater an der Wien. Unfortunately this version of the drama with ghosts, shipwreck, pirates, attempted poisoning and other horrifying ingredients has not survived - unlike Schubert's popular incidental music which was already praised by contemporary critics. Special acknowledgment was given to 'the genius of this much-loved master?, and as evidence of its popularity, the overture and the 'Hunters' Chorus? had to be played again.Now Bärenreiter is issuing one of Schubert's best-known compositions in a complete vocal score.The appendix includes Chézy's draft to the play 'Rosamunde? and a reconstruction of the first version of this drama.- Urtext edition based on the 'New Schubert Edition?- Bilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng)- Idiomatic, uncluttered piano reduction (Ger) / Chant Et Piano

2 Solo Sopranos, 2 Solo Altos, 3 Solo Tenors, 2 Solo Basses, Mixed Choir and Orchestra. Par MONTEVERDI CLAUDIO. Scholarly-critical Urtext edition orientated towards performance practice. Detailed critical commentary (Eng) in the full score. Movements 10, 13 and 14 are included in their original high clef in the appendix of the full score. These movements are also available with Piano reduction as print-on-demand. Claudio Monteverdi’s “Vespro della Beata Vergine” is without doubt one of the most popular sacred works of the 17th century. Apart from the many available recordings, it is frequently performed in its entirety or in parts. The Urtext edition of this well-known work has unusual origins. It originated from a graduate seminar at the University of North Texas, under thedirection of the Monteverdi specialist Hendrik Schulze. The result is an edition which combines the latest in musicological research specifically with the needs of the performer in mind. This has led, for instance, to a divergent evaluation of the “Lauda Jerusalem” oriented towards performance practice, with numerous additional accidentals and a new interpretation of the melodic variants from the different part books. These new musical and performance practice insights make a modern interpretation of this 400-year-old work possible.

Tonalité : D-Moll - Horn, Paul (Arr.) -. Par NAUMANN JOHANN GOTTLIEB. Johann Gottlieb Naumann, who today is becoming increasingly well known, achieved recognition during his lifetime as a composer of operas, among them the first Swedish “national opera, ” Gustaf Wasa. In addition he wrote a large number of sacred compositions for the Court of Dresden, where he was employed for many years, including the present Missa in D minor, which was still performed well into the 20th century. This work, probably composed for Christmas in 1794, displays a decidedly pastoral character in the Gloria and Agnus Dei and moreover, is distinguished by charming solo woodwind parts. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
