POD-Nico Muhlys Stabat Mater Dolorosa for Soprano Baritone and Ensemble. Full score.My Stabat Mater is a very simply-constructed piece of music. I knew I wanted to write a duet a piece of religious music and something to go along with a bit of Birtwistle. My initial instinct was to base the piece on drones as Birtwistles musichas so very many notes but then I decided that an austere but ecstatic approach was the best to fill a coherent evening. I asked my friend Craig Lucas to paraphrase the Stabat Mater text - which describes the Virgin Mary weeping at the foot of thecross on which her son is crucified. The piece is organised by separating each phrase of the text with a moment of silence with the exception of the last three which are joined with a frenzied chorale with improvised dynamics from the Harp Windand Strings. - Nico MuhlyInstrumentation: Soprano and Baritone voice Flute Clarinet in Bb Harp Violin Viola and Violoncello.

Élégie for Violoncello and Piano op. 24-Following the enthusiastic reception of his first Violin Sonata (HN 980) it was clear to Fauré that he would continue to write chamber music. In 1880 he wrote a little piece for cello and piano that was intended as the slow movement for a sonata. However Fauré gave up the sonata project instead publishing the piece under the title “Élégie”. It was so successful that Fauré was urged by the publisher to write further pieces. The conductor Édouard Colonne commissioned a version of the “Élégie” for orchestra in 1895 which was premièred two years later. As usual our Urtext edition contains both a marked and an unmarked solo part.Following the enthusiastic reception of his first Violin Sonata (HN980) it was clear to Fauré that he would continue to write chamber music.

Wiener Urtext Edition
Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo are among the most famous masterpieces of their kind. Unlike the closely related Suites for Violoncello Solo the violin solos have survived in an autograph manuscript of the composer on the basis of which alone a largely reliable musical text is available. However this manuscript is a copy of previous draft copies or even further fair copies of the composer. Wiener Urtext Edition uses an early copyist's copy from Köthen as a secondary source which has not been valued very highly as a source until now. Despite its closeness to the extant autograph one cannot rule out the possibility that this copy might be traced backto another original manuscript by Bach. At any rate some obvious mistakes of the extant fair copy can be clarified on the basis of its text; in addition it provides a number of articulations not indicated elsewhere (some even with alternatives) which are examples of how these works can be performed according to their time of origin. In the Notes of Interpretation Dagmar Glüxam explains the relationship between the musical-rhetorical contents of Bach's musical text and their adequate performance thus showing how absurd many a performance instruction of established interpretive editions is.

The first movement of Mozart's second clarinet quintet-A very exciting edition to the clarinet repertoire. The first movement of Mozart's projected Second Clarinet Quintet! The 'fragment' that is the basis of this work had been known about for many years and was always considered a trial run for the great K581. But recent dating has shown the two pages of manuscript date from after the Clarinet Quintet. The distinguished Mozart scholar Timothy Jones has proved this to be the beginning of a response to the popularity of K581. It was only as a result of his early death that the work remained incomplete. Tim has completed the work using his deep knowledge of late Mozart and we have now a very important new addition to the clarinetquintet. Mozart 's Sonata Allegro For Clarinet And String Quartet is certainly an exciting addition to the Clarinet repertoire.

There exists already and abundant supply of original compositions and arrangements suitable for performance on large and comprehensive organs but many organists who have only a small instrument at their disposal in country churches often have some difficulty in finding short and easy voluntaries suitable for their own use and the instruction of their pupils. It is hoped that The Village Organist may supply this want so much felt by that valuable and zealous class of church-workers to whom the work is inscribed. The editors have endeavoured to bring together a collection of pieces which they trust will prove to be at once simple without being uninteresting and effective where the instrumental resources are limited.
