The cantata Es steh Gott auf is intended for Easter. The editor was able to identify a poem by Christian Weise (1642–1708), which has received little attention to date, as the source text. Kuhnau was in close contact with Weise in Zittau, so the cantata could have been written in direct chronological connection with the printing of the original text in 1682. However, the earliest date of performance noted on the title page of the cantata is only 1703 in Grimma, thus already in his time as Thomaskantor (from 1701). On the other hand, no further church music contributions are documented from this early period of his tenure, and such a large gap to the origin of the text seems unlikely.

The cantata is well suited for use in church services because of its short length and not-too-large instrumentation. Through the transmission in the form of a set of parts, the participation of ripieno singers, which can be taken over by a choir, is also proven.

ISBN 9790001132381. 9.0x12.0x0.24 inches.

Kirchhoff was born in Muhlbeck (near Bitterfeld) in 1685 and died in Halle in 1746. He was (like Handel) a pupil of Zachov and in 1714 became Zachov's successor as organist and Director Musices at the Marienkirche in Halle. His violin sonatas, which were praised by Leopold Mozart, are very well suited for use in teaching the violin, as they are skilfully structured around the capabilities of the instrument. Especially recommended for friends of baroque violin music.

The cantata Christ lag in Todes-Banden is a mixed chorale cantata that sets the first and last verses of the corresponding Luther chorale verbatim, but the other movements in free poetry based on the content of the chorale. The time of composition cannot be clearly determined, but at the end of the copy that serves as the basis for the edition, there is a date of January 1693. According to this, the composition was written before 1693 and thus well before Johann Kuhnau took up his post as Thomaskantor in Leipzig (1701). The use of two cornetti is also a parallel to the cantata Lobe den Herren, meine Seele(PB 32091), whose composition can be linked to Kuhnau's stay in Zittau. The two parts marked Cornett are only in the first two movements of the cantata; in the further course, a collaparte lead would be possible, but cannot be proven. In principle, according to the source, the two cornett parts can also be played by violins. The title page also notes the possibility of adding ripieno singers, i.e. a choir, in the non-soloistic movements.The cantata, according to its text intended for Easter, is very well suited for use in church services with its small size and flexible scoring.

Clas sical Masterpieces for Fingerstyle Guitar is a rare compilation of carefully selected masterworks from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods arranged for Classical Guitar. While there are many collections which feature lesser-known works for Classical Guitar, we believe none comes close to our complete collection of these most well-known and beloved works created by the greatest composers that ever lived. These great works of the masters from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries have stood the test of time as they continue to be revered to this day. Classical Masterpieces for Fingerstyle Guitar eliminates the need for multiple teaching resources and musical supplements, since many of the greatest pieces ever written are now contained in this one outstanding publication. Each piece has been carefully transcribed and specifically arranged in a classic style perfectly suited for guitar. Extreme care was given in the choice of key signatures and fingering demands of the left-hand, with a careful focus on understanding octave ranges, and placement of page turns in order to make every arrangement extremely playable. The recording that accompanies this book is performed by one of the greatest classical guitarists working in the Miami area today. We are confident that you will be impressed by the performance, but even more so by the exceptional work of the arrangers and editors involved in making this recital collection. It is truly the only curriculum choice for every one of your students today, and for many years to come.

This Trio Sonata has been drawn from the collection of six sonatas a 2 Clav. et Ped. BWV 525 - 530, which are generally considered as organ works. The work is not only well suited for a guitar transcription because of its charming concertante elements, but also because of the many harmonic and chordal figures that are so idiomatic to the guitar. (...) My aim in this arrangement was to produce a guitar piece in which the individual parts are, as much as possible, autonomous and of equal value. (...) Krefeld, Fall 1989 Ansgar Krause.

Alth ough many of the greatest composers from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods did not write for marimba, their works are still available and are perfectly suited for this instrument. Many of these works were written for violin and contain bowings and fingerings that assist in the stylistic interpretation for violin but do not apply to marimba. To that end, Tammy Chen has arranged a collection of outstanding pieces that work perfectly for marimba. To aid the performer in developing a musical interpretation of these master works, she added stylistic markings including phrasing, articulations and musical directives. Below are the compositions included from the Violin Sonatas and Partitas by one of the world’s greatest composers, Johann Sebastian Bach.

The cantata Christ lag in Todes-Banden is a mixed chorale cantata that sets the first and last verses of the corresponding Luther chorale verbatim, but the other movements in free poetry based on the content of the chorale. The time of composition cannot be clearly determined, but at the end of the copy that serves as the basis for the edition, there is a date of January 1693. According to this, the composition was written before 1693 and thus well before Johann Kuhnau took up his post as Thomaskantor in Leipzig (1701). The use of two cornetti is also a parallel to the cantata Lobe den Herren, meine Seele(PB 32091), whose composition can be linked to Kuhnau's stay in Zittau.

Stephen Paxton was one of the most important English composers for the cello in the transitional period between the Baroque and Classical eras. As the cello repertoire does not feature many very early Classical works his Sonatas op. 3, written for amateur cellists and students, fill a significant gap in tuition repertoire. This three-movement Sonata op. 3/3 is very well suited to the cello and distinguished by its elegant and appealing melodies. The sonata can be played using the first four finger positions. As a cellist Paxton was very familiar with the technical capabilities of his instrument and knew how to make it sing with simple and effective figures. The first movement consists of two sections and has an expressive middle section in C minor. The slow movement uses an Irish folk song ('Gramachree'), with two dance movements (Minuet 1 and 2) at the end.This new edition reproduces all the details of the first printed version, with just a few dynamic markings added in square brackets. The bass part has been written out in the style of an early Classical keyboard accompaniment so as to underline the galant rococo style of the piece.

Bass trombone or tuba and piano

SKU: P2.80062

Composed by Johann Galliard. Arranged by Micah Everett. Solo music, 18th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.80062).

These settings of the Galliard bassoon sonatas grew out of a perceived need for more intermediate-early advanced solo literature for the bass trombone, as well as more settings of Baroque-period works for that instrument. While the sonatas are playable on the bass trombone in their original keys (whether at pitch or down one octave), by setting them in lower keys I have endeavored to make them useful for developing tone quality and technique in the valve register, while not going so low that clarity and facility might be compromised (as can be the case when playing in the original keys down one octave). The new keys I have chosen for each of the sonatas are closely related to the original ones, in every case down a perfect fourth or perfect fifth, so something of the sound of the original keys is maintained. Other than the key changes I have made very few adjustments to the intervals in the solo or left hand keyboard parts; in the places where I have done the most editing I have provided cues for the original intervals and/or rhythms so that the player can choose whether to perform the simplified part I have provided or something closer to the original. The new keys (as well as copyright considerations) necessitated that I provide entirely new figured bass realizations for the accompanist's right hand. These are entirely my own, though in the early stages of this project I did consult with Professor Stacy Rodgers, my colleague and collaborator at the University of Mississippi. I have provided more than a simple harmonic accompaniment in my realization; each movement has a number of short melodic passages to provide interest in the keyboard part for both performer and listener. Still, I have been purposefully reserved in writing these parts, and in no case should the keyboardist feel obligated to strictly adhere to the part as I have written it. I have left the figured bass in the score so that the performer can modify and/or build upon what I have provided, particularly in the repeats (as Professor Rodgers did when playing and recording one of the sonatas with me). I have labeled the accompaniment part simply as keyboard with the understanding that these sonatas were originally intended for performance with harpsichord (assisted by cello or bassoon) or organ, though I am sure that the vast majority of performances of these arrangements will have piano as the accompanying instrument. My keyboard part has thus been written with that instrument in mind. If performing with harpsichord assisted by cello or bassoon those players will need to make adjustments in places where the bass lines extend below the ranges of their instruments. While I am confident that my right hand part is a faithful realization of the harmonic structure indicated by the composer, no attempt has been made either in my keyboard realization or in my light editing of the solo part to adhere to present scholarly conventions regarding the interpretation of early music. I have constructed these arrangements to meet the needs of twenty-first-century student (and professional) bass trombonists, and thus I have provided the interpretive markings which I believe will yield the most pleasing performances on that instrument. That said, I have sought to be modest in my indications of tempo, dynamics, articulation, and ornamentation, as these sonatas will admit varying interpretations in those respects. Performers and teachers are welcome and encouraged to experiment in order to find the interpretations which they think most effective. Although I originally created these arrangements with the bass trombone in mind, I am sure that they will work equally well on tuba. Due to range considerations similar to those I mentioned above for the bass trombone, they might be particularly better-suited to performance on the F or E-flat tubas than previous editions of these sonatas. I am looking forward to using these arrangements with my students on both instruments, and hope that others will find them useful, as well.
