The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven. This scholarly-critical Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical text of the "New Schubert Edition" and presents the works in a spacious new engraving with practical page turns. It includes an informative Foreword and detailed notes (Ger/Eng) on central performance practice issues such as the use of pedals and Schubert's distinctive manner of notating accents. It is rounded off by a Critical Commentary (Eng) with performance-related alternative readings. Schubert's drafts for individual sonata movements can be accessed on the Barenreiter website. To the product Hardcover vocal score edition With a singable German translation Informative bilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng) Uncluttered idiomatic piano reduction Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus The Marriage of Figaro K. 492 BARENREITER URTEXT Editor: Finscher, Ludwig BA 4565-93 | EUR 59.00 | Vocal score (Ital/Ger) | Hardcover | 9790006568963 Due to numerous customer requests, Barenreiter is successively offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions again. This means you now have the choice: perhaps you prefer a slightly lower-priced and lighter soft-cover edition with excellent lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a singer’s life. Following the publication of Don Giovanni (BA 4553-93), The Magic Flute (BA 4553-90), Cosi fan tutte (BA 4606-93) and Idomeneo (BA 4562-93) this is now the fifth vocal score we are publishing in a hardback version. This vocal score is based on Ludwig Finscher’s 1973 edition of "Le nozze di Figaro" published in the "New Mozart Edition" (NMA II/5/16) and the critical commentary by Ulrich Leisinger published in 2007. To the product Edited on the basis of new sources 1746 version in the main part of the edition, amendments to the 1745 version in the appendix Libretto by Voltaire With a performance-orientated piano reduction by Francois Saint-Yves Rameau, Jean-Philippe Le Temple de la Gloire RCT 59 Editor: Dubruque, Julien BA 8859-90 | EUR 59.00 | Vocal score (Fr) | 9790006558155 Rameau's only surviving opera based on a libretto by Voltaire has survived in two versions (1745 and 1746), whereby the 1745 version was long considered lost. Volume IV.12 of the series "Opera omnia Rameau" presents a complete edition which enables performances of both versions. Voltaire refers to Metastasio in his libretto in that he wishes to liberate the opera from the gallant milieu and to make it a moralizing stage work that is equally edifying and political. After a prologue dedicated to envy personified, the tyrants Belus and Bacchus are chased out of the Hall of Fame and finally Trajan is crowned with laurels for defeating the rebels, forgiving them and ultimately turning the Hall of Fame into a public temple. The music contains many remarkable passages, such as a richly orchestrated overture, the famous monologue "Profonds abimes du Tenare" with obbligato bassoons, and Trajan's artful final scene "Ramage d'oiseaux". To the product Challenging new music for organ and percussion, including sirens Medieval imagery in modern sonic garb A musical reckoning with the past Szathmary, Zsigmond DIES IRAE for Organ and Percussion Organova 14 BA 11258 | EUR 24.95 | 9790006568932 Zsigmond Szathmary's "Dies irae" for organ and percussion produces an immense impact on listeners with its advanced sonorities. Accordingly, it imposes very high demands on the performers. "Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeclum in favilla" (Day of wrath, that day, will dissolve the world in ashes) comprises a 17-stanza medieval sequence dealing with Judgment Day that forms the emotional climax of the Latin Mass for the Dead. In his commentary on this work, the composer describes his childhood memories of the Second World War: "Fear, air-raid shelters, thin caraway soup and the howling of sirens". The latter even find their way into the piece itself. To the product Complete Editions Schubert's partsongs - the entire spectrum of the genre 46 partsongs for three to five voices of the same register or unison choir Contains, among others, the remaining fragment of the third setting of J. W. von Goethe's "Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern" Schubert, Franz Partsongs for Voices of the Same Register with Accompaniment New Schubert Edition III/3a+b Editors: Martin, Christine / Durr, Walther BA 5574-01 | EUR 623.00 | Linen-bound full score | 9790006497423 Reduced subscription price available Franz Schubert's Partsongs for Voices of the Same Register with piano or guitar accompaniment were very popular among his contemporaries, much like his famous Lieder. Schubert learned singing in multiple parts both at home and at school; small cantatas for family festivities and trios for his compositional studies are among his early compositions. Alongside uplifting vocal movements in the style of Michael Haydn, he composed several drinking songs for unison choir. The young composer had his first public success with "Das Dorfchen" (D 598). Starting in 1819, he composed more sophisticated vocal quartets, such as "Gondelfahrer", "Die Nachtigall", and "Nachthelle" for performances at the Vienna Musikverein. Until today, these works are an essential part of the Romantic male voice repertory. The present volume contains 46 partsongs for three to five voices of the same register or unison choir, representing the entire spectrum of the genre, including diverging versions of some of the songs and some works that remained fragmentary, such as the third setting of J. W. von Goethe's "Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern" To the product First scholarly-critical edition of this early baroque opera Published with both research and performance in mind Detailed background information on the work and its genesis Cavalli, Francesco Il Xerse Dramma per musica by Nicolo Minato (Venice, 1655) Francesco Cavalli – Opere Editors: Stangalino, Sara Elisa / Schulze, Hendrik BA 8915-01 | EUR 369.00 | Linen-bound full score | 9790006556748 Reduced subscription price available In 1738 Georg Frideric Handel penned "Il Xerse" which was to be his last as well as his most famous opera. However in truth, Handel's opera is nothing other than the final chapter in the history of a subject which had been set to music by Francesco Cavalli almost a century earlier: "Il Xerse", performed for the first time in 1655 in the Teatro SS. Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, was one of the most successful operas of its day. This is reflected not only by many well-known revivals throughout Italy, but also by the fact that the opera was chosen to be performed in Paris at the festivities for the wedding of the French King Louis XIV to Princess Maria Theresa of Spain. Among the strengths of the drama are the comedy and drama of daring situations and surprising turns of the plot. The comic element essentially consists of capricious Xerse's efforts to win over the beautiful vassal Romilda but she is deeply in love with Arsamene, the King's brother. The inevitable intrigues unleash a rich world of emotions in all those involved, depicted by stylistically extremely varied music. The judiciously prepared scholarly-critical edition of "Il Xerse" forms part of the "Francesco Cavalli – Opere" series and is intended as a basis for research and performance of the opera. The editors Sara Elisa Stangalino and Hendrik Schulze have evaluated numerous historical sources, especially on the libretto of the opera. In addition to the meticulously edited texts of the work they provide a detailed Introduction to the time of the work's genesis, the historical subject matter, the cooperation between librettist and composer, the sources, and the performance practice of this special music.
