Gershwin... Lost in Tunisia is a jazz-oriented composition that makes use of exotic scale patterns as well as Gershwinian blues motifs. Vacillating between the two genres, the piece attempts to meld them into a unique stylistic composite.

De Braziliaanse componist Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) schreef een aantal heuse standards. Zijn beroemdste stuk is The Girl from Ipanema, dit nummer betekende de doorbraak van de zangeres Astrud Gilberto. Kenmerkendvoor de muziekvan Jobim zijn het meeslepende, vaak relaxte ritme en de stijlvolle harmonieën, de melodielijnen waren vaak heel origineel. Desafinado - de titel betekent ‘ontstemd’ oftewel ‘vals’ - is bekend geworden doorde uitvoering van tenorsaxofonistStan Getz. Dit stuk, uit de jaren zestig, was de eerste grote bossanovahit. Naohiro Iwai arrangeerde Desafinado voor harmonieorkest.

Lieder wie The Girl from Ipanema oder eben Desafinado haben den brasilianischen Pianisten und Komponisten Antonio Carlos Jobim weltberühmt gemacht und sind mittlerweile Jazz-Standards, die in einem Atemzug mit Titeln von GeorgeGershwin, Cole Porter und Irving Berlin genannt werden. Die bekannteste Interpretation von Desafinado - was soviel wie schräg klingend“ heißt - ist sicherlich die des Saxophonisten Stan Getz. Naohiro Iwai schrieb diese gelungeneBlasorchesterbearbeitung des Latin-Jazz-Klassikers.

Avec Vicinius de Moraes et João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) est considéré comme le père de la bossa nova, un style musical qui se caractérise par un souple balancement et qui évolue sur les rythmes de la samba brésilienne. Carlos Jobim a composé de nombreuses chansons qui sont devenues la fois des classiques de la musique populaire brésilienne et du jazz : Corcovado, Chega de Saudade, The Girl From Ipanema et Desafinado (1959) qui connut un succès planétaire.

Charles Gounod composed this Requiem under the impact of the death of his four-year-old grandson, Maurice. According to information handed down, while finishing the details of this work he was overtaken by death. It was published posthumously in various constellations by his pupil, Henri Busser, but the only complete version from the pen of Gounod is the version for large orchestra, which is published here for the first time in a critical edition. Gounod's Requiem, unlike many contemporary settings of the Mass of the Dead, is not characterized by darkness and terror. Rather, with all of its trepidation - expressed through a marked chromaticism - an atmosphere of hopeful expectation, of trust in the grace and equity of the divine judge predominates. This confidence finds its expression in the choice of the fundamental key of C major, which is rather unusual for a requiem. The work was given an impressive performance on the occasion of the first anniversary of Gounod's death in the Parisian church of Sainte-Madeleine under the direction of Gabriel Fauré and it was highly acclaimed by the contemporary press. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2731500.

Gounod's Messe a la memoire de Jeanne d'Arc was composed in 1887 for a festive mass in Reims to commemorate the arrival of the national heroine in the city on the occasion of the coronation of Charles VII in 1429. Performed a cappella or only accompanied by an organ, vast stretches of the work are in an archaic style in the tradition of Palestrina. The royal procession into the cathedral is conveyed in the splendid Prelude at the beginning, which was performed at the premiere by eight trumpets, three trombones, and organ. In the performance material, the present edition also offers a version of the movement for piano and organ. For the Offertoire, Gounod composed a cantilena for violin and organ (or piano), which is also included in the edition, as a Vision of Jeanne d'Arc.
