1. Choir 2. Violin- Version of 1736 (final version) Bach ’s St. Matthew Passion passed through several stages in its progress towards its final form stages that today cannot be completely reconstructed. It may be taken as certain that the work was performed on Good Friday 1729 in St. Thomas’s Church Leipzig in a version of which the copy made by Bach ’s son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnickol gives us an approximate idea. There is no earlier extant autograph score than that of the later version which may probably be dated 1736 and on which the present edition is based. - Study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm - Urtext of the New Bach Edition -Full score performance material (BA5038) vocal score (BA5038-90) and study score (TP196) available for sale

In one of the variants the pentatonic scale is used. The final section is in the form of a scherzo which eventually forms the accompaniment to a final presentation of the folk tune.

Those who follow Devreese�s music a little know that for him the different facets are not separate from each other. The film scores and the concert pieces strengthen and influence one another.

Ludwig van Beethoven quitte Bonn sa ville natale à l’automne 1792 pour tenter sa chance dans la Vienne impériale. Il a vingt-deux ans. En plus des cours avec Haydn il travaille avec Albrechtsberger et Salieri et réussit à se forger une solide réputation de pianiste virtuose.Le bal annuel organisé par la Caisse des pensions des artistes des Beaux-Arts de Vienne était alors un événement très prisé de la haute société viennoise. À cette occasion les grands compositeurs de l’époque comme Haydn Kozeluch Dittersdorf ou Eybler étaient sollicités pour écrire de nouvelles musiques de danse. En 1795 Ludwig van Beethoven composa une série de Douze menuets et Douzeallemandes une danse villageoise en vogue en Bavière et en Autriche et qui donnera naissance à la célèbre valse viennoise à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Originellement pour orchestre Beethoven en réalisa une réduction pour piano également plébiscitée par le public. Philip Sparke a choisi d’arranger deux danses de cette série en prenant le soin de conserver le caractère coloré et rustique des pièces originales.

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven 's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No.9) which came down to the publisher in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors performers and critics alike and has become the mostwidely used publication of the Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner David Zinman Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado. Full scores study scores and complete performance material to Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies are available for sale.

In this sparkling composition Harm Evers lets the trumpet section show off their style and versatility. Blow The Trumpets opens with an exciting passage that gives the trumpeters’ tonguing free rein. This is then contrasted with the melodic and somewhat bluesy character of the interlude

Au cours de l’été 1880 le compositeur allemand Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) écrit son Ouverture pour une fête académique op. 80. Elle est contemporaine de l' Ouverture tragique qui en est son pendant. Un an auparavant Brahms avait été fait docteur « honoris causa » de l’Université de Breslau. Dans un premier temps il se contenta d'une simple note manuscrite à titre de remerciement mais comprit rapidement que cela ne saurait suffire. Il composa donc l’ Ouverture pour une fête académique en remerciement pour sa nomination. L’œuvre fut créée à l’Université de Breslau le 4 janvier 1881 sous la direction du compositeur. Sorte de fantaisiepétillante et inventive l’ Ouverture académique est constituée de plusieurs chansons estudiantines allemandes en vogue à l’époque. En raison de son développement accessible riche en expressivité espiègle et lumineux cette ouverture reste très largement appréciée de nos jours.Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie signée Tohru Takahashi est fidèle à l’œuvre originale.

Portée par le grain boisé de la voix de velours d’Artie Kaplan la chanson Harmony (1973) connaît un vif succès dans de nombreux pays européens mais passe quasiment inaperçue aux États-Unis. Optimiste et plaisante la mélodie traverse la texture ouatée des chœurs. L’arrangement de Don Campbell reste fidèle à la version originale.
