Retards et Appogiatures - Réalisations- As one of the fundamentals in the study of harmony particularly for Baroque music Henri Challan (1910-1977) provides an imperative aid to the understanding of Figured Bass. Challan a French composer and music educator was appointed Professor of Harmony at the Paris Conservatoire in 1936. He compiled 380 Figured Bass Exercises during 1960 after a considerable amount of time working in the field. With Challan 's experiences in mind 380 Figured Bass Exercises is very well-informed. Part B of the seventh volume provides 30 exercises in which the student can study the realisation retards and appoggiaturasin the context of figured bass. Challan 's 380 Figured Bass Exercises is essential to all harmony studies given that the realisation of figured bass remains an important part of music education.

Schwingt Freudig Euch Empor BWV 36 (final version) Cantata for the First of Advent - Urtext of the New Bach Edition - Performance material (BA10036) vocal score (BA10036-90) and study score (TP1036) available for sale Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of thechurch year as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.

14 Lieder für Kinderchor- The cycle of 14 songs for Children's Choir The Twig Is Turning Green traces the seasons of the year from spring to winter. The songs are written specifically for children's voices to be sung in unison with Piano accompaniment; Eben wrote some of the songs for two or three parts all of which are simple to master while others also have solo voices woven into the choral line. The independent parts of the cycle appeared gradually for practice purposes from very simple songs to those which require greater focus on intonation. At the same time the composer achieved something unusual in that these choral songs even several generations later soundlike modern pieces intended for the concert platform and for public performance yet they also hold the attraction of songs which the children love singing for their own enjoyment.

As a trumpet player André Waignein has composed many pieces for this instrument; extremely electrifying pieces meant for young trumpet-players and more demanding works for professionals.With his rhapsody André Waignein wanted to compose a piece in which spontaneity dominates and in which the virtuosity sonority and style of the soloist is featured to its maximum. Although the piece is not one of the most difficult it nevertheless places high musical demands on the soloist. Following an impressive orchestral opening the soloist comes to the fore with long phrases followed by more dynamic and rhythmic passages. The second movement gives evidence of extreme sensitivity andoffers the soloist the opportunity to prove that the trumpet (flugel horn) can be a stirring and emotional instrument. The third movement is the most spectacular. The orchestra actively participates with increasingly delicate interventions. The soloist can display all the possibilities offered to him by his instrument. With a long sostenuto on the trumpet (flugel horn) the beautiful rhapsody ends.

Tragédie-opéra in three acts. Paris Version 1776. In 1774 Gluck had committed himself to supplying six stage works to the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris. This job he fulfilled partially by reworking works which had already been premiered in Vienna. In the case of the Paris Alceste (1776) which Gluck had also originally composed for Vienna (1767) the composer created a completely new version which was to become the prototype of the so-called reform opera. The libretto was translated from the former Italian into French and was altered at the same time but also the music was fundamentally changed: Gluck newlycomposed the recitatives and rearranged enlarged or cut scenes. The initial rejection of the work by the audience caused him to further alter the third act for example by adding the character of Hercules as Alceste's saviour. In this form the opera finally became a big success. - Full score (BA2291) available for sale; performance material (BA2291-72) available for hire.

Work first published in 1951.
