Edited with additional material from the Salzburg version In Italy nowadays this term (motet) is applied to a Latin sacred solo cantata consisting of two arias and two recitatives concluding with an Hallelujah and sung during the Mass following the Credo generally by one of the best singers. One composition matching this description is the solo motet Exsultate jubilate K. 165/158a which Mozart wrote in Milan early in 1773 following the highly successful performance of his opera Lucio Silla. In 1978 when the music manuscripts in Bavaria were being sorted and cataloged in a project sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft a set ofmanuscript parts for a previously unknown second version was discovered in the town parish church of St. Jakob in Wasserburg am Inn. The music and text of the concluding Alleluja movement were written out by the Salzburg court bassoonist and copyist Joseph Richard Estlinger (c. 1720-1791) who frequently worked for Mozart and his father. The vocal text of this Salzburg manuscript departs from that of the Milan version in the first aria and in the recitative. It was entered in a different hand. The Salzburg version of the text is clearly related to the feast of the Holy Trinity. There is much evidence that this version was sung for the first time in the Dreifaltigkeitskirche on 30 May 1779 (i. e. Trinity Sunday) by the Salzburg male soprano Francesco Ceccarelli during a service mentioned by Nannerl Mozart. On that day Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart together with Ceccarelli were invited to the church's vicarage at midday. The additional text underlaying of the first aria enabled the solo motet to be employed for the Christmas service as well. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Full score performance material (BA4897) and vocal score (BA4897-90) available for sale

Beethoven’s three sets of cello variations comprise the “Twelve Variations on a Theme from Händel’s Oratorio ‘Judas Maccabeus’” (WoO 45) the “Twelve Variations on the theme ‘Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen’” (op.66) from Mozart’s opera “Die Zauberflöte” and the “Seven Variations on the duet ‘Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen’” (WoO 46) also from “Die Zauberflöte”. These works have existed in many different editions some of which have from time to time been (tacitly) reprinted with corrections to keep up to date with the latest scholarship. This new Bärenreiter Urtext edition however is the first to give all Beethoven’s rhythms in the violoncello part correctly.Beethoven’s autograph manuscript of op.66 is lost; the critical commentary (English) includes a complete facsimile of the violoncello part from the only surviving source (the first edition) illustrating the various problems encountered in determining the best musical text. With numerous corrections in the violoncello part Included in the critical commentary is a complete facsimile of the violoncello part of op. 66 as it appeared in the first edition

These three pieces can serve perfectly well as a suite of sonatas - a coherent but varied whole - although in their original form they are unrelated. The adaptations have been kept to a minimum so that the true Bach is still abundantly present in the music. Contains: Prelude XXII from The Well-Tempered Clavier • Adagio (originally from the Sonata for violin and obbligato harpsichord in B minor BWV 1014 ) • Allegro from the Sonata for viola da gamba and harpsichord BWV 1028 .

Jan Van der Roost originally composed each and every note of ‘Slavia’ (as in case in ‘Puszta’ ‘Rikudim’ and ‘A Highland Rhapsody’). Consequently ‘Slavia’ does not contain any arrangement of existing tunes but is an original composition ‘in the style of…’. The introduction has an ABA structure and exposes a broad melodic line. Following a short cadenza there is a second movement in a fast and fiery tempo. The tempi increase gradually culminating in an exciting final climax making this ‘Slavonic Rhapsody’ a spell-binding experience to the very last note.

Arranged for SSA Missa Brevis displays Britten's characteristic flair for writing for children but retains a devout liturgical gravitas. The decisive opening immediately presents declamatory vocal writing as each of the three treble parts enter. The Gloria with its 7/8 metre is a jaunty setting that immediately appeals to young performers and lends appropriate joy to the text.

Klavierauszug -Revised edition- The St. John Passion was first performed in Leipzig on Good Friday of 1724. Written three years before the St. Matthew Passion it was a work Bach revised during the rest of his life in fact he did not leave us a definitive version either in print or fair copy. The sources give evidence of four different versions used at four performances - 1724 1725 around 1730 and during the last years of Bach 's life. They often contain two or more readings for the same passage or even different movements that on different occasions occupied the same place in the work. Barenreiter's edition uses the final version IV as its basis with alternativemovements and readings contained in the appendices. A comprehensive preface in the study score (German/English) TP197 gives full information. - Full score performance material (BA5037) vocal score (BA5037-90) and study score (TP197) available for sale.

Variazioni in Blue est basé sur une série de variations dans laquelle des éléments du blues (comme les fameuses blue notes ) servent de fil conducteur. Après une introduction majestueuse qui révèle partiellement le thème central on entend une première variation ornementale dans un style classique. Elle est suivie par une deuxième variation dans le style du blues et par une troisième plus rapide dont le caractère provient des musiques traditionnelles d’Europe de l’Est. L’ Andante espressivo contient de subtils changements harmoniques. Ce mouvement évolue en une reprise de la variation folklorique précédente dont l’intensité est augmentée par le passage enMajeur qui conduit vers le finale.
