Le 26 avril 1937 la paisible ville de Guernica dans le Pays basque espagnol est anéantie par les bombardiers de l’aviation nazie. Plus de mille six cents civils sont tués. La ville brûle pendant trois jours. Guernica de Jan Hadermann se développe aux sons de la musique basque. La place du marché est pleine de monde. L’atmosphère est douce le printemps s’éveille sur un air de danse joué par des musiciens de rue quand surgit par dessus les montagnes l’escadron de la mort. L’enfer commence à Guernica. L’œuvre se conclut dans une intense expression de supplication pour qu’une telle folie ne se reproduise plus.

Overture- J.S. Bach ’s Four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call classical hits! They stem from Bach ’s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721. Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig. These originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as part of the “New Bach Edition”. At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with additional articulation and performance suggestions. Bärenreiter’s new edition of Bach ’s great four suitesnow presents the Urtext as found in the “New Bach Edition” i.e. without emendations and performance suggestions. The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a “Violino concertato” part. - Urtext editions of these important works. - Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo. - For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 with “Violino concertato” is included. - Full scores study scores and performance material available for sale.

Die Cantata für gemischten Chor und Klavier (oder Orgel) ist ein Frühwerk Ursula Mamloks wenn man die Komposition einer Mittdreißigerin denn so nennen kann. 1958 zur Entstehungszeit des Stücks hatte die Komponistin gerade ihr Studium an der Manhattan School of Music beendet. In den Folgejahren mit Studien bei Stefan Wolpe und Ralph Shapey näherte sie sich der Reihentechnik an und entwickelte den typischen Stil der in den späteren Jahrzehnte typisch für sie sein sollte. Die Cantata ist also das musikalische Zeugnis einer Übergangsperiode und nimmt auch weil Chorkompositionen in Mamloks Schaffen selten sind eine Sonderstellung ein. Allerdings eine äußerst reizvolle.Der etwa 7-minütigen einsätzigen Komposition liegt der 1. Psalm in englischer Sprache zugrunde. Ritornellartig kehrt das Wort „Blessed“ wieder mit Quartakkorden charakteristisch harmonisiert. Der Chorsatz ist äußerst vielfältig und bis zu achtstimmig aufgefächert. Immer wieder treten Soli aus allen Stimmgruppen hervor. Homophone kontrastieren mit durchbrochenen und imitatorischen Abschnitten begleitete mit a cappella gesungenen. Interessant ist auch die Instrumentalstimme die nicht nur den Gesang begleitet sondern individuell und in wechselhafter Gestaltung hervortritt.

Vocal Score-In the days just before the Christmas of 1816 Rossini was still looking for the subject and the libretto for an opera that he was contractually obliged to stage at the Teatro Valle in Rome in just over a month's time. Jacopo Ferretti proposed a libretto he had himself written based on the famous fairytale by Perrault Cinderella . Rossini composed the opera in less than a month completing it on the 24th January 1817 the day before its public debut. Removed from its original fairytale context Ferretti and Rossini's La Cenerentola is a comedy with some credible situations where comedy and sentiment come together brilliantly. The opera was a fantastic hit rightfrom the start and is still one of the composer's absolute masterpieces! This is the Vocal Score of Rossini and Ferretti's famous collaboration La Cenerentola .
