Mixed Ensemble.

The well-loved Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) arranged by David W. Jepson for unaccompanied mixed voices with divisions in the Soprano and Bass voices.

This advanced work by Otto M. Schwarz is full of exciting time changes that follow affect the pulse rhythmically and melodically in exciting and unexpected ways. The solo trumpet's displays of technical prowess and bravura alternate with the film score- like sections of the piano. The slow almost elegiac central section can be performed on the flugel horn while the closing reprise demands that both the soloist give of their best as the piece comes to an exciting colourful and uplifting finale.

Each movement of this mass incorporates folk melodies from a different country. The moods and the tempi of the originals have been altered; melodies have been unraveled spliced together and persuaded to modulate. SATB. Hatfield S

In Beethoven’s Triple Concerto a piano trio provides the soloists – a first in the history of music. Beethoven’s treatment of the trio is pioneering: he does not apply a typical piano trio setting in contrast to the orchestra but varies his treatment of the solo parts allowing each instrument to play alone with the orchestra (particularly the cello) using two solo instruments together in ever new combinations and finally bringing together all three instruments with the orchestra. Beethoven weaves a complex web – the orchestral piano violin and cello voices interplaying and entwining – and he produces a true masterpiece. Bärenreiter’s new Urtext edition ofBeethoven’s Triple Concerto is a completely fresh revision of this warm and beautiful showpiece. Errors abounded in all previous editions but with the assistance of three newly-discovered sources editor Jonathan Del Mar has cleaned up the text corrected wrong notes and rhythms and (for the first time since 1807) presented the work in a way that a musician of Beethoven’s day might have recognized with all necessary information for directing the piece included in the solo piano part. Piano reduction with separate parts for all three soloists Draws on three new sources Correction of many errors found in previous editions

Op. 125- With final chorus 'An die Freude' (Ode to Joy) 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 andcritics alike and has become the most widely 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.

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

Gluck's second French reform Opera Orphee Et Euridice was first performed in 1774. It was a reworking of a previous Italian opera that Gluck had composed in Venice in 1762 and which marked the begininning of Gluck's operatic reforms. He had the libretto translated from Italian to French and modified and recast the entire opera to cater to the taste of the French audiences. The present arrangement retains the original Flute part whilst the Piano is assigned the function of the Orchestral accompaniment.
