Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration. A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement. Compatible with Vocal score H 2924-90. Dvo ák ’s Requiem for soloists choir and orchestra is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber Orchestra based on the full score from the Complete Edition of the Works by Antonín Dvo ák . The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single Horn; all that remains of the Percussion arethe Timpani; the Organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and Bass Clarinet parts can be replaced by an Oboe and Clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts). This arrangement which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvo ák ’s original orchestration makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.

Brahms’ popular 16 “Waltzes” opus 39 composed in 1866 for four hands were transcribed by Brahms one year later for two hands. At the request of his publisher Brahms also wrote an easier version of the work for solo piano. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for 'reasonable hands' that is for proficient players and the easier version as 'perhaps for prettier hands' that is for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a 'children’s edition'. The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer’s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romanticrepertoire. Both versions of the “Waltzes” op. 39 (BA 9602 BA 9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter’s series of Brahms’s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions.

Bohemian Rhapsody is undoubtedly one of the most important songs in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. The song defied all convention in terms of form. It has no chorus. Instead it comprised of an introduction ballad guitar solo operatic interlude hard rock section and coda. Perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the song is the lyrics which are commonly thought to be autobiographical although members of the band have never fully explained them. Bring the house down with Philip Sparke’s authentic arrangement!
