Lift Up Your Heads Ye Gates-The numerous mostly religious works of the Bohemian composer Andreas Hammerschmidt are composed with great craftmanship and sound full and catchy. They were composed for 17th century village churches in which they were sung by the congregation—and they are still familiar and popular today. Robert van Beringen took the advent hymn Lift Up Your Heads Ye Gates and created this beautiful arrangement.

Ernesto Lecuona (1895-1963) composed this piece in A Major for solo piano. La comparsa also known as 'Carnival procession' evokes the sound of bare drums maracas and percussion.

Vocal Score / Softcover-In a letter of 2 January 1851 Verdi suggested for the first time Antonio Garcia Gutierrez play El Trovador as a possible subject for his new Opera: 'It seems to me very beautiful imaginative and full of strong situations'. Once he had settled on the subject the composer immediately began looking for a theater in which to produce the Opera and after protracted negotiations he decided to stage Il Trovatore in Rome. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased from performance to performance. The third performance was the last the composer was contractuallyobliged to attend: at the end of the evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths. Verdi 's account of the performances contained in a letter to his friend Clarina Maffei was eloquent: 'They say that this Opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But ultimetley in life everything is death! What exists?...' Notwithstanding Verdi 's pessimism Il Trovatore circulated rapidly. In fact no other Opera of Verdi except 'Ernani' enjoyed such instant and widespread success.

The Lutkin benediction may be the best-known and best-loved service or concert closer in the world. It is now available as a bulletin insert. The Hallelujah Chorus was the first entry into the congregational insert series and hasbeen a phenomenal favorite. A simple keyboard introduction begins the piece and the rest is exactly as Lutkin composed it. As a bonus the back page features the beautiful Amen from Petker's May You Be LiftedUp.

The circumstances in which these poetic “Soirée Pieces” (thus their original title) came into being are quite surprising. In 1849 Dresden was seized by violent political turmoil that ultimately forced Schumann to flee with Clara to the countryside. Yet none of this is apparent in the music of these three pieces whose idyllic character signifies a longing for harmony and seclusion. Originally conceived for the clarinet they were accompanied by alternative parts for violin and cello as early as the original print. We have subjected our editions to a thoroughgoing critique and include a section of detailed editorial notes.?The circumstances in which these poetic “Soirée Pieces” (thus their original title) came into being are quite surprising.

from Symphony No. 1-« Vingt ans de réflexion quatorze années de création et l’attente d’une vie ». C’est ainsi que l’on peut résumer la Symphonie n° 1 qui eut une gestation particulièrement longue. Commencée en 1854 peu après la rencontre de Brahms avec Schumann elle ne sera reprise et menée à bien qu’à l’automne 1876. Elle se compose de quatre mouvements de construction classique. Andrew Watkin a réalisé un arrangement de l’Allegro extrait du premier mouvement. Le climat est sombre mais d’une grande profondeur sonore. Les courbes sont fluides et souples. Du grand classique à la portée des plus jeunes !
