Tost Quartets II No. 4

1. Lodronische Nachtmusik KV 247 / KV 248

Saxophone Et Quint A Vent - For Alto Saxophone And Wind Quintet

Traditional foundations in new tonal splendour - the leading representative of new Italian instrumental music Ottorino Respighi transcribed the original lute versions for large orchestra in a masterly fashion.Thanks to his compositional analysis of tradition Respighi made a substantial contribution to the revival and rediscovery of forgotten musical treasures. The three orchestral suites based on lute settings from the Italian Renaissance and Italian Early Baroque period however have not only been influenced by the historicism of later revivals of original texts. Respighi makes the intimate original pieces also shine in repackaged versions for large orchestra thusachieving wonderful brilliant sound effects!

O quam gloriosum est regnum

für Chor und Orchester-'This has to be written all by oneself' is what Schumann is supposed to have said to his first biographer after the completion of the Requiem. Thus began a reception history of the work created in 1852 before the outbreak of depression and fatal disease that was characterised by prejudices.It is impossible to tell what prompted the protestant Schumann to compose a Catholic requiem. With regard to music history the mysterious yet fascinating Requiem in the rare D flat major mode forms the connecting link between Mozart's and Brahms' requiems. And what is documented in a letter for the Missa sacra certainly applies to this work too: It was intended for both the concert halland the church.

for four-part choir and orchestra-Whoever attempted to compose a Latin mass in the middle of the 19th century had to compete with great models and traditional composition techniques. Bach's Mass in B minor and Beethoven's Missa solemnis but even his earlier Mass in C major (performed by Schumann) are among the key works of a great mass tradition in the reception of High Romanticism. Not unlike Schubert and later Bruckner before Schumann's Mass in C minor too is bound by tradition yet finds its very own formulation of the 'Ordinarium Missae' the characteristic features of which point to the late style of the composer.
