Marchalad
e is a
straightforward,
refreshing new march by
Peter Riedemann.
Following a compelling
introduction, the descant
presents a light, playful
theme, which is repeated
with a legato
countermelody in the
tenor register. The
second reprise is
characterized by the
alternation of descant
and bass. The trio part
is initially played
cantabile,
followed by a bold
marcato
repetition.
Na
een overtuigende
inleiding weerklinkt in
de discant een luchtig
speels thema met in de
herhaling een legato
tegenmelodie in het
tenorregister. De tweede
reprise wordt gekenmerkt
door de afwisseling van
discant en basregister.
Het triodeel wordt
aanvankelijk gevormd door
een cantabile speelwijze,
met aansluitend een
herhaling in een stevige
marcato uitvoering.
Marchalade: een
eenvoudige frisse nieuwe
mars van Peter Riedemann.
Marchalade
ist ein einfacher und

Marsch von Peter

fesselnden Einleitung
präsentieren die
Sopranstimmen ein zartes,
verspieltes Thema, das
von den Tenorstimmen mit
einer Gegenmelodie im
Legato wiederholt wird.
Die zweite Reprise
zeichnet sich durch den
Wechsel von Sopran- und
Bassstimmen aus. Der
Trio-Teil wird anfangs
cantabile gespielt, dann
folgt eine Wiederholung
im kräftigen Marcato.

Of the early
versions of works
included in this volume
the first versions of the
notably popular
Consolations cycle and
Grand solo de concert
(published in 1850) are
of particular interest.
In the first version of
Consolations the third
movement was a style
hongrois piece whose
thematic material was
later used by Liszt in
his Hungarian Rhapsody
No. 1 (published in
1851). The first version
of Grand solo de concert
shows that the work did
not originally include a
slow middle section to be
recapitulated towards the
end as seen in the final
version. This is a
characteristically
Lisztian feature that
would reappear a few
years later in his Sonata
in B minor. A detailed
preface inHungarian,
English, and German,
including new research
results, numerous
manuscript facsimiles,
and critical notes, makes
this volume of the New
Liszt Edition an
important publication of
immense scholarly value.
Along with the
cloth-bound Complete
Edition, a paperback
version for practical use
has also been published.
This edition's contents
are identical to those of
the hardcover edition
with the exception that
the critical notes are
not included.
Of
the early versions of
works included in
Supplementary Volume 10,
particular interest is
expected in the first
versions of the notably
popular Consolations
cycle and the monumental
Grand solo de concert of
1850. In the first
version of
Consolationsthe third
movement was a style
hongrois piece whose
thematic material Liszt
used again later in the
first piece of the
Hungarian Rhapsodies
published in 1851. The
first version of the
Grand solo de concert
shows that the original
concept did notinclude
the slow “movement”
that would be placed in
the middle of the work
and recapitulated towards
the end in the final
version - a
characteristically
Lisztian feature that
would reappear a few
years later in the Sonata
in B flat minor.A
detailed preface in
Hungarian, English and
German, including new
research result and,
numerous manuscript
facsimiles make the
practical paperback
version of this volume of
the New Liszt Edition a
specially important
publication of scholarly
value.
Von den im

veröffentlichten
Werkversionen dürften
der außerordentlich
populäre
Consolations-Zyklus sowie
die Erstfassung des 1850
entstandenen Grand solo
de concert (Großes
Konzertsolo) auf
besonderes Interesse
stoßen. In der ersten
Fassung der Consolations
stand an dritter Stelle
noch ein Stück im
ungarischen Stil, dessen
Thematik Liszt später im
1851 herausgegebenen 1.
Stück der Ungarischen
Rhapsodien verwendete.
Die erste Version des
Großen Konzertsolos
belegt, dass der in der
Mitte der Komposition
angelegte und kurz vor
Ende rekapitulierte
langsame Teil, welcher
zum typisch Lisztschen
Element der endgültigen
Fassung des Konzertsolos

The
“Hallelujah” chorus
is the final movement of
part two of Handel’s
Messiah, the part that
comments on Christ’s
crucifixion,
resurrection, and
ascension. The text of
the chorus, assembled
from Biblical passages by
the oratorio’s
librettist, Charles
Jennens, is from
Revelation 19:6, 11:15,
and 19:16: “Hallelujah,
for the Lord God
omnipotent reigneth. The
kingdom of this world is
become the kingdom of our
Lord and of his Christ,
and he shall reign for
ever and ever. KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS.” This edition
has been prepared from
the first published score
in 1767, with comparisons
to Handel’s autograph
manuscript now housed in
the British Museum. The
text has been reproduced
here without alterations.
However, the beamings of
the vocal parts have been
modernized for ease of
reading (the original
material has flags
instead of beams for
every separate syllable).
The piano accompaniment
is a reduction of the
orchestral material: the
first and second violin
parts are represented in
the upper staff, with
only occasional inclusion
of the viola, trumpet,
and timpani parts, the
basso continuo, in its
original form, is in the
bottom staff. The GIA
Historical Music Series
edited by Dennis Shrock,
presents repertoire
suitable for performance
by public school, college
and university, church,
and community ensembles,
with the purpose of
making available to
today’s conductors
lesser-known and
previously
difficult-to-procure
historical masterpieces.
The music, drawn from the
Renaissance through the
Romantic eras, is in
performance editions
based on the most current
and rigorous scholarly
research. The musical
scores reflect original
intent of notation, with
all editorial markings
and emendations clearly
identified as such. In
addition, preface
material accompanying the
music contains literal
translations of foreign
language texts and
information regarding the
lives of the composers,
genres, and relevant
performance practices.
