Arrangeur: Andrea Campora. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven’s sacred works include two settings of the Mass. The “Mass in C major”, completed and premiered in 1807, has been unjustly described as a preliminary step towards the great “Missa solemnis”. Yet it is a self-contained and, for its time, decidedly modern piece of church music. Drawing on the rich body of sources, Beethoven specialist Barry Cooper suggests practical solutions to the work’s musical and interpretative problems. His deep study of the sources convinced him to include a fully realized organ part in the score, just as Beethoven envisioned it for the first printed edition. As stated in the sources, the parts for the soloists and choir are notated on joint staves to demonstrate that the soloists are also to sing the choral passages. Rounding off this Urtext edition are a Foreword on the work’s genesis and a detailed Critical Commentary. - Score with realization of the organ part - Bilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) - Idiomatic piano reduction Features of the Barenreiter Urtext edition of Beethoven 's Mass In C Major : Score with realisation of the Organ part Bilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) Straight-forward Piano reduction Full score and performance material (BA9039) and Vocal score (BA9039-90) available for sale Amongst Beethoven ’s sacred works are two settings of the Mass.

Hwv 283. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The “Dettinger Te Deum” was written to celebrate England’s victory over the French at the Battle of Dettingen. It is Handel’s last and most successful setting of the “Te Deum” and reveals a deep understanding of the English church music tradition. The sound impact of this broadly conceived work is governed by the choirs in an almost theatrical exegesis of the text. Particularly striking are several borrowings from the “Messiah” which Handel had just completed. This edition, edited by Baroque specialist Amanda Babington, is based on the Urtext from the “Halle Handel Edition”. - First Urtext edition - Includes a Foreword (Eng/Ger) - Idiomatic, well-presented piano reduction (Eng) Handel 's Dettinger Te Deum was composed to celebrate England’s victory over the French at the Battle of Dettingen.

Krönungsmesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Mozart’s Missa in C K. 317, erroneously dubbed the “Coronation Mass, ” is among the most popular and most often performed works in this genre. The autograph of the Mass, which in many respects is very enlightening, was regarded as having been lost following the end of World War II, but was discovered at the end of the 1970s, it is preserved among the musical treasures contained in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Krakó w. Ulrich Leisinger, the editor, prepared the edition based upon what is, without a doubt, the only authentic source, although additionally in the Critical Report he has also consulted an early copy of the Mass [by Fügerl], since such later copies often help toclarify questions concerning historical performance practice. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Cors, 2

Ein Oratorium Nach Worten Des Alten Testaments. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Nur ein Jahr vor seinem Tod erzielte Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy mit seinem Oratorium 'Elias' einen Erfolg, der ihn bis heute zu einem der beliebtesten Oratorienkomponisten gemacht hat. Von packender Dramatik und gleichzeitig von einer Innigkeit des Gottvertrauens, wie sie zu Mendelssohns Lebzeiten durchaus nicht mehr selbstverständlich war, bietet dieses Oratorium den Aufführenden eine Vielzahl an musikalischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten. Der alttestamentliche Bibeltext ist in den Rezitativen, Arien und Chorsätzen recht genau aufgenommen; um die Dramatik zu steigern, legt Mendelssohn ihn zum Teil dialogisch an und kommentiert ihn aus den Prophetenbüchern und demPsalter. Dadurch entsteht ein biblisches Drama, dessen 22 Abschnitte zu ausgedehnten, dramatischen Szenen zusammengefaßt sind. Allerdings können ohne weiteres auch einzelne Chorsätze aus dem 'Elias' herausgelöst und zu passenden liturgischen Gelegenheiten im Gottesdienst oder in geistlichen Konzerten aufgeführt werden. 'Bei einem solchen Gegenstand wie Elias . . . muß das Dramatische vorwalten. . . die Leute lebendig redend und handelnd eingeführt werden, . . . eine recht anschauliche Welt, wie sie im alten Testamente in jedem Kapitel steht, ' schrieb Mendelssohn an seinen Librettisten. Die 'anschauliche Welt' setzte er in packenden Baalschören, dramatisch durchkomponierten Szenen und schlichter Engelsmusik um. Die Carus-Neuausgabe von R. Larry Todd, Duke University/USA, gibt ausführliche Informationen über Entstehungsgeschichte und Quellenlage. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Passionskantate. Par HOMILIUS GOTTFRIED AUGUST. He was without argument our greatest church composer, wrote the lexicographer E. L. Gerber a few years after Homilius's death in 1785. As a result of the destruction of the Kreuzkirche during the Seven Years War, the longtime Kreuzkantor, a pupil of Bach, performed his professional musical duties primarily at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The Passionskantate was well received and widely disseminated during the 18th and 19th centuries: Thanks to its popularity it was published in 1775 by Breitkopf as a full score - a rare honor, accorded to only one other Passion in the 18th century [Graun's 'Tod Jesu']. The text describes the events of the Passion from a very personal pointof view: The story focuses less on the actual events, then upon the feelings of the observers of these events. The subjective nature of the narrative is reflected in a very dramatically marked style of recitative, which presents a charming contrast to the expressive choral writing and the melodically accented arias. With the release of a new music editions and a SACD/CD the Passionskantate can now be 'rediscovered. '/ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
