Szymon Godziemba-Trytek, born in Poland in 1988, already is one of the acclaimed choral composers of our time and has been awarded numerous prizes at national and international composition competitions, as e.g. in 2014 for his 'Miserere mei Deus, miserere mei', a musical setting of Psalm 56 for eight-part mixed a-cappella choir. It is the effective antiphony between female and male voices, four-part homophonic passages including four bars for two solo sopranos, rich dynamic nuances, staggered entries of the voices in imitation, and sound elements to be performed in an individual loop-like manner that make this sacred choral work special. For this work, the young composer was awarded the 3rd prize at the Composition Competition Musica Sacra.

Composed by E. T. A. Hoffmann. Edited by Winfried Radeke. Arranged by Winfried Radeke. Choir; stapled. Edition Breitkopf. With its rich contrasts, E. T. A. Hoffmann's Miserere is like a bridge thrown between the musical idiom of his time and the style of the Palestrina school, which Hoffmann so admired. Classical period. Piano/Vocal Score. 48 pages. Duration 45'. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 6656. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-6656).

ISBN 9790004168622. 9 x 12 inches.

Written in 1809, E. T. A. Hoffmanns Miserere remained unprinted and unperformed during the composers lifetime. With its rich contrasts, the work is like a bridge thrown between the musical idiom of his time and the style of the Palestrina school, which Hoffmann so admired. There are a few short five-part a cappella passages that resemble the Palestrina style. Overall, however, the small-segmented structure of the work is definitely noteworthy. None of the twelve movements lasts longer than five minutes. Diary entries confirm the composers inner tension. On 16 January 1809, for example, Hoffmann while working on this piece writes: rather unhealthy state, more like a romantic-religious feeling.

Very Expressive, Please! Jan Dismas Zelenka's musical setting of Psalm 50, Miserere mei Deus, was presumably intended for the 1738 Holy Week. Thus, the composition is situated chronologically between the Missa Sanctissimae Trinitatis (1736)* and the Missa votiva (1739), two compositions from the cycle of Zelenka's five late masses, considered the culmination of his sacred-music work. Strong contrasts are a conspicuous stylistic feature of the Miserere c-moll, which Zelenka moderates by embedding them within the entire work's cyclic arch form. The score and parts of this new edition are based on volume 108 of the series Das Erbe deutscher Musik, which was comprehensively revised by Wolfgang Horn in 2018, especially the preface and the critical report. Zelenka's artistic personality, his biography and his compositional style are utterly distinctive. His style is highly experimental. Was Zelenka really one of the greatest composers of the 18th century, or only one of the most interesting? I think that he still has several surprises for us. (Schweizerische Musikzeitung)Zelenka's Masses - fine specimens of Baroque choral literature, some parts of which are set even more colorfully than in the corresponding compositions by Bach.

Composed by Charles-Hubert Gervais. Edited by Jean-Paul C. Montagnier. This edition: Paperbound. French Sacred Music. German title: Miserere. Sacred vocal music, Motets, Psalms. Full score. 68 pages. Duration 25 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 21.010/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2101000).

At the time Gervais composed his Grand Motet Miserere he held a post as director of the Chappell Royale in the Court of Louis XIV. This was one of the most important positions in music in France at that time. In addition to operas, he was highly regarded for compositions in this representative genre of sacred music until the end of the Ancien Regime. The setting of Psalm 50 consists of a succession of individual movements (choruses, soli, and duets through quartets), which, thanks to his experience with works for the stage, the composer was able shape dramatically not only with respect to the texts of individual movements, but also with a view to the large chorus which concludes the work.
