Signs, Games and Messages are series for solo instruments and small chamber ensembles. Each of the three notions refers to an essential factor in Kurtág’s music. Signs ties it with the composer's period of study in Paris as a young man, when he could not compose, merely put graphic signs on the paper. Games links with his nine-volume series for the piano with that title. Messages conveys the very personal content of these works, in that these short pieces are meant to be diary-entries and missives to musiciansand friends important to Kurtág. The collection – like the earlier five series for string instruments – does not form a coherent cycle. The pieces can be played individually or in various orders or mixed with from Signs, Games and Messages written for other instruments.

Arranged for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and optional 3 to 6 octaves of handchimes. Level 3+. Brian Childers' arrangement of the well-known It Came Upon the Midnight Clear is a fresh take on an old classic. An ethereal opening gives way to an off-beat treatment of the tune, which manages to be both traditional and innovative at the same time. A more serene middle section assigns the bass handchimes to the lower treble ringers, providing an interesting visual and aural experience. The piece builds into a powerful final verse before floating away to a gentle final chord. Not to be missed this holiday season!

Work attributions have a way of maintaining themselves in the collective mind for a long time. Take the cantata Das ist je gewisslich wahr, for instance, which was listed in Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf's catalogue of musical prints and manuscripts as a work by J. S. Bach in 1761 and sent out into the world propagating this error. Up into the mid 19th century, copies of the score were made under Bach's name, and the work was also given a BWV number (141) after it was incorporated in the Complete Edition of the Bach-Gesellschaft. Experts ultimately raised doubts about Bach's authorship, grappled with it and finally uncovered its true composer, Georg PhilippTelemann. The evidence - contemporary copies of parts by Telemann's copyists and a reliable printing of the text which assigns the work to the Hamburg cantata cycle 1723 - leaves no room for doubt: this work is genuine Telemann!

How vast is Mendelssohn's oeuvre? Most of his approx. 750 compositions were still unpublished in the 1960s. The publication of many early works within the framework of the Complete Edition has been gratefully noted by the musical world. Yet a scholarly, scientific overview of Mendelssohn's works was still missing. He was the last great composer of the 19th century without a complete work catalogue. Ralf Wehner's thematic catalogue closes this gap.It organizes the body of works into 26 groups and assigns each work its own MWV number. Within the groups, the individual pieces are arranged chronologically. Also included in the MWV are all known collective manuscripts and prints, information on works of dubious authenticity and on Mendelssohn's arrangements, as well as his editions of works by other composers. Wehner's work is based on the examination of material and information from more than 1,500 libraries, c. 15,000 auction catalogues and about 12,000 letters. The succinct account of the history of the work, its publication and reception gives the MWV its profile as a compact study edition.An overview on the MWV numbering system you will find on the webiste of the Sachsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig.
