Edizione Nationale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini : Vol II/1 - Instrumentalwerke

As the second volume of the "Edizione Nationale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini," a critical new edition of his compositions for orchestra has been published in the series "Musical Works." In addition to the familiar Preludio a orchestra [SC 1], Preludio sinfonico [SC 32], Trio in Fa [SC 52] and Capriccio sinfonico [SC 55], the volume contains a short but unknown Adagetto [SC 51], probably a sketch of a composition from Puccini's student years in Milan. And, for the first time ever, it also includes an orchestral version of the Scherzo in La [SC 34] from 1882, a work which was just recently discovered. The Scherzo, known until now only in a version for string quartet, complementsthe Trio in Fa, which is scored for the same orchestral forces, to form an independent movement.

Responsoria et alia : ad Officium Hebdomadæ Sanctæ spectantia

Carlo Gesualdo‘s “Responsoria” were printed in 1611, the same year as the last two of his madrigal books. Despite having received little attention at the time and during the following centuries, this collection can be regarded as part of the composer’s spiritual heritage in many respects. It was to become a central part of his oeuvre.The edition contains 27 responsories, nine each for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, divided into three nocturnes for each respective day: and two compositions for the Lauds of Holy Week, “Benedictus” and “Miserere” (Psalm 50). The Foreword discusses the editorial approach and offers a description as well as an evaluation of thepreserved partbooks. Based on detailed coverage of how the selected texts relate to the liturgy, as well as the six-part structure of the pieces and other musical principles, conclusions could be drawn regarding the nature and character of the assembled compositions.The Critical Commentary records all readings of handed down copies, elaborating particularly on the use of accidentals.

Benvenuto Cellini : Overture

Hector Berlioz was known for his innovative and creative musical gestures. He composed the opera Benvenuto Cellini in 1838, based on the fascinating life of a 16th century Italian goldsmith of the same name. Unfortunately the work as a whole never gained much popularity however its colourful and exciting overture has, on the other hand, become a firm favourite. Tohru Takahashi has created a stunning concert band arrangement of this well-known overture.

Per Nørgård: Symphony No. 6 (Score)

Per NørgårdSYMPHONY NO. 6AT THE END OF THE DAYfor orchestra, 1997-99Preface / Programme Note?? with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day?(New Testament, 2 Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO. 6 was commissioned by the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Göteborg Symphony Orchestra and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, to be premiered at the millenium 2000.The subtitle AT THE END OF THE DAY can be understood literally or it can mean ?when all is added up?. However, in my opinion, nothing ever quite adds up, there is always ?something? missing, any ending will be provisional ...This symphony appears to end only a few minutes into the first movement, the first passage, as the music fades away to almost-silence, after a start of flying colours. But then there is still ?something?, a small motive (first heard in the initial sound-waves) which reappears, hesitant, but persistent, and this embryo is what leads on the musical progression. An agitated section of many instrumental voices comes next, until all the voices become obsessed with the same phrase, a see-saw motive based on thirds. This section evolves into almost martial ferocity, when broken off by a tutti descent into an extreme bass-world (a bass-world which actually permeates the whole symphony, emplyoing instruments that I have never used before: double-bass tuba, double-bass trombone, double-bass clarinet, and bass flute).The second movement, the second passage, apparently takes off where the first passage ended, but now the events are more ambiguous, and the same music may be perceived as fast-moving one moment and slow-moving the next. This section is a kind of passacaglia, the characteristic baroque bass-variation.Without a break follows the third and last passage, in a contrasting high register. The music is rhythmically knotty as well as freely flowing. As in the beginning of the symphony, a never-ending descent or fall breaks off the events, and at the very end a delta of new beginnings, of ?other worlds?, is revealed ....The symphony is dedicated to Helle, my wife.Per Nørgård

Music as Concept and Practice : in the Late Middle Ages

The Year 1941 : for wind orchestra

The Year 1941 was composed during the second World War. Prokofiev, along with other composers, was evacuated to the Caucasus when Germany started attacking the Soviet Union in 1941. It was under such circumstances that Prokofiev began work on this symphonic suite. He was working on his epic opera War and Peace and the String Quartet No. 2 at the same time. It is an orchestral suite in three movements, a poignant and evocative musical depiction of a tumultuous period in history. The composer described these three movements as follows: I. In Battle - “a scene of heated battle, heard by the audience sometimes as though far away and sometimes as though on the actual battlefield.” II. At Night - “a poetic night scene, disturbed by the tension of impending conflict. III. For the Brotherhood of Man - “a triumphant lyrical hymn to victory and the brotherhood of peoples.”

Missa sancta No. 1 E-flat major : WeV A.2

Carl Maria von Weber wrote his Missa sancta no. 1 in E flat major in just two months, despite his heavy workload as Kapellmeister at the Dresden court. The work acquired the nickname “Freischütz Mass” because the composer interrupted work on his opera of the same name in January and February 1818 to compose the mass. And so Weber presented himself to his new employer King Friedrich August I of Saxony as a versatile composer, for as well as his main task of developing a German opera alongside the existing Italian opera at court, his duties also included writing church music. In the Mass Weber responded to the local conditions in a particular way: he took into accountliturgical practice at the Dresden court by adding an Offertorium to the sections of the mass ordinary, setting this as a bravura aria specially written for the Dresden star soprano Filippo Sassaroli. Because of the reverberant acoustics in the Hofkirche, he avoided rapid changes of harmony. Although the Mass was perceived as too “operatic” by critics, it was very well received by audiences and also pleased the King. • Practically oriented edition based on the sources, performance material available on sale for the first time • Easy to medium difficulty level • Text of the Mass includes an Offertorium in accordance with liturgical practice at the Dresden court at the time

In 1736 Handel composed “Alexander’s Feast” or “The Power of Musick”, a two-part cantata based on John Dryden’s poem of the same name.In 1790, at the suggestion of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, Mozart arranged this workusing a German translation of the poem made by Karl Wilhelm Ramler in 1770.

Rawhide

Performance time - ca. 3:00 (With opt. vocal solo and opt. men's chorus) Dimitri Tiomkin's iconic western theme from the TV series of the same name (1959-62) evokes the energy and excitement of a 19th-century cattle drive.Originally sung by Frankie Laine, the lyrics (by longtime Tiomkin collaborator Ned Washington) describe riding the range in the Wild West, with picturesque references to dogies (motherless calves) and vittles (the folk spellingfor victual or prepared food). The song remains among the most recognized of western themes, recorded by such diverse artists as Johnny Cash, The Jackson 5, Oingo Boingo, and Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi in The Blues Brothers.

Tales & Legends

This three-movement work by the Swiss composer Etienne Crausaz reflects three true stories and fascinating legends from the Middle Ages. The first movement tells the dramatic story of the ‘witch’ Catherine ‘Catillon’ Repond (1662–1731). She was the last woman ever to be executed for sorcery. In the second movement, the famous court jester Girard Chalamala occupies centre stage. This jester, the last one at the castle of Count Greyerz, could make everyone laugh. The third movement tells the story of Count Michael. He went down in history as a spendthrift bon-vivant. His burden of debt became so high that he did a moonlight flit and never came back!

The Mystery of Light : "NIGHTLIGHTS"

Light, sun, moon, stars: there has always been a connection to faith, the occult and mysticism. Different constellations were supposed to predict the future, and some phenomena have been interpreted as punishment by different Gods. From sunrises and solar eclipses, through rainbows, the scattering of light, sunset in the daytime, moonrises, the northern lights, the new moon, crescent moons and stellar constellations, to shooting stars… our observations encompass all this and much more. The Mystery of Light is the first of a series of pieces with the same theme. ‘NIGHTLIGHTS’ deals with lights of the night: created partly by nature and partly by man himself and consists ofthree movements: Opener and Star Shower, Lunar Eclipse and Aurora and Fireworks.

Contemplation : Doloroso e Contemplativo

Contemplation is the first movement from the Clarinet Concerto by Jan Van der Roost, which was commissioned by Musica Reservata VOF, Belgium, and is dedicated to the famous clarinet soloist Eddy Vanoosthuyse. A slightly mysterious intro leads to an orchestral climax with ascending melodies and the entrance of the soloist. This occurs at first with fragmentary musical ideas, and then with longer melodic lines. The orchestra delivers the dialogue withthe soloist, and creates a fitting musical frame with a delicate and colourful instrumentation. Towards the end of the music, the atmosphere from the beginning is restored, and the soloist finishes on the same note that he started the piece on. The concerto is also available as a piano reduction.
