Handel set the myth about the love of the shepherd Acis for the sea nymph Galatea from Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” a total of three times: in the cantata “Aci, Galatea e Polifemo” HWV 72 (1708), the masque “Acis and Galatea” HWV 49a (1718) and finally the pasticcio-like serenata “Acis and Galatea” HWV 49b (1732) of which the original version is now made available in its complete form for the first time.

A particular charm is provided by the use of two languages in the serenata. The work was originally conceived in English, as was required for the first performance. However, Handel’s Italian singers were criticised for their poor command of English, – so in the end, many numbers were sung in Italian.

The extensive appendix to the vocal score includes the additional arias and newly composed movements for the versions used in the 1734 and 1736 performances.

Opera in three acts. Composed by George Frideric Handel. Edited by Michael Pacholke. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Halle Handel Edition (HHA) Series II, Volume 35. Complete edition, Score. HWV 36. Duration 2 hours, 25 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA04100_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA04100).

ISBN 9790006550128. 33 x 25.7 cm inches. Text Language: Italian. Preface: Pacholke, Michael. Text: Antonio Salvi.

Antonio Salvi’s “Arminio” is one of the best-loved operatic librettos of the Baroque period.

Against the historical background of the so-called “Battle of the Teutoburg Forest” in 9 AD in which the Cherusci leader Arminius as “Liberator of Germany” (Tacitus) inflicted a devastating defeat on the Romans, Handel’s opera, first performed in 1737, is about the disputes between the Chatti and the Cherusci. Arminius has married the daughter of his arch-enemy Segestes. When he is imprisoned, Segestes, who has conspired with the Romans, sees his opportunity for revenge.

With contributions from Jennifer Kerr Budziak and Kevin Padworski.

Written and compiled by Tim Sharp, together with chapters by Jennifer Kerr Budziak and Kevin Padworski and contributions from 39 practicing church choir directors, Sacred Choral Music Repertoire is an in-depth exploration of 173 short- to medium-length anthems and single movements from larger sacred works. The large body of sacred music presented in this book was determined by surveys of practicing church musicians to discover the canon that remains relevant, beloved, and in unwavering use in church, school, and community choirs.

Urtext. Composed by George Gershwin. Edited by Norbert Gertsch. Orchestra; Softbound. Partitur-Bibliothek (Score Library). Solo concerto; Early modern; Music post-1945. Full score. 136 pages. Duration 36'. Breitkopf and Haertel #PB 15140. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.PB-15140).

ISBN 9790004214763. 10 x 12.5 inches.

After achieving sensational success with the musical Lady, be good!, with evergreens such as Fascinating Rhythm and The Man I love, as well as with his Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin premiered his Concerto in F for piano and orchestra as a soloist at Carnegie Hall in 1925. Now, the new superstar of Broadway had also arrived at the center of New York's classical music scene. In its eventful history, the work went through numerous changes, cuttings, arrangements, many of which doubtful and unauthorized. Even the first and so far only printed orchestral score, edited by Frank Campbell-Watson, published in 1942 five years after Gershwin's death, contains many unauthorized interventions. Through years of research, editor Norbert Gertsch has succeeded in ridding the work of all unauthorized additions and alterations and thus reconstructing an Urtext in its original literal sense from the complex source material - from autograph sketches to early recordings. The first text-critical edition of the work is a joint production of Breitkopf (score/orchestral parts) and G. Henle Verlag (piano reduction).
