Antonio Vivaldi’s Magnificat in G minor has come down to us in two conflicting versions. The earlier one probably the original version (RV 610) is dominated by impressive but largely straightforward choral passages set against a few brief vocal ensembles manageable by soloists from the choir. In the later version (RV 611) the solo parts and one chorus are replaced by demanding virtuoso arias. Andreas Köhs arrangement for soloists chorus and organ allows performers to choose between these two versions and is equally suitable for use in church and concert hall. Standard repertoire work easy to perform Independent version for soloists (RV 610: SSAT;RV 611: SA) chorus (SATB) and organ Clear and well presented organ part Suitable for use in church and concert hall Duration: ca. 15 minutes (RV 610) or 20 minutes (RV 611) The Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.

Fantasien und Fugen/Einzelwerke - mit CD-ROM- Although the fantasia was already considered as old-fashioned around 1700 this genre exerted a particular fascination on the very young Bach - he had since relocated to Kothen - and the experienced composer as well.Volume 3 the latest installment in the Complete Organ Works gathers together all transmitted organ fantasias by Bach the fragments of the fugues belonging to them and all individual fugues as well. They include for instance the Fantasia in C BWV 570 undoubtedly the master's oldest free organ work.The most notable works in this edition are the celebrated Fantasia in g minor BWV 542/1 and the Fuga in g BWV 542/2.

Facsimile: Printed score John Longman Clementi's Company [1800] and MS libretto The Huntington Library LA1297 Introduction by Robert Hoskins with Eileen Southern

When Queen Caroline the wife of King George II of England died on 20 November 1737 Handel was commissioned to write an anthem for her funeral service. She was buried in King Henry VII’s Chapel Westminster Abbey on the evening of 17 December 1737 with Handel’s work performed after the funeral service. To emphasize the solemnity of the occasion he used a roughly 100-piece Orchestra and 80 Choristers. The piece is a so-called “full anthem” consisting of an instrumental Introduction (“Symphony”) and thirteen interlinked choruses. The words were written by Edward Willes the Sub-Dean of Westminster at that time using passages from the King James Bible and theBook of Common Prayer albeit sometimes departing from the original wording. The absence of sections for solo voice has made this anthem a favourite among ambitious choruses and a highlight of any concert programme.

There are composers about whom nothing or only little is known who are only known through their works or even through one work only. Luigi Carvelli is one of them: He lived in the second half of the 19th century and died after the turn of the century. Carvelli is supposed to have been a hornist in the area of Torino/Milan and played at the world premiere of Verdi's 'Falstaff'. The only extant work is his 'Serenata Napolitana' – a delightfully catchy and melodious little piece ideal as a little performance piece for lessons or as an encore as a special treat after a major sonata programme.
