Romantische Opera in three acts-Alfonso und Estrella D 732Romatic Opera in 3 ActsIn late September or early October 1821 Schubert and his close friend Franz von Schober vacationed in the countryside of Lower Austria. Their first stopover was at Ochsenburg Castle which belonged to the Bishop of St. Pölten (a close relative of Schober?s) after which they moved on to St. Pölten itself. Roughly a year earlier two stage works by Schubert had been performed in Vienna: the one-act singspiel Die Zwillingsbrüder and the melodrama Die Zauberharfe. The librettos were both written by the seasoned Viennese playwright Georg von Hofmann who blamed the press for the indifferent reception the two works weregiven by the audience. Schubert and Schober now decided it would seem to write a grand romantic opera uninfluenced by the workaday world of the theatre and beholden solely to their own ideas of what an opera should be.Not until 24 June 1854 was the opera finally performed in Weimar under the baton of Franz Liszt. It only achieved success however in an arrangement by Johann Nepomuk Fuchs that was staged on many German and Austrian stages in 1881 2 allegedly with 'brilliant acclaim'.Urtext of the New Schubert EditionFull score (BA5540) and vocal score (BA5540-90) available for salePerformance material (BA5540-72) available for hire

Carl Maria Von Weber's opera Der Freischütz was written in the years 1817-1821 and reached its celebrated world premiere on 18 June 1821 in Berlin. This romantic opera in three acts dates back to a narrative from the 'Gespensterbuch' by Johann August Apel and Friedrich Laun. Arranged for Piano solo.

Tonalité : E-Moll - Op.: 87 -. Par HERZOGENBERG HEINRICH VON. The musically convincing and, in many respects, original setting of the liturgical text in Herzogenberg’s Mass represents a final culmination in the late romantic repertoire of the genre Missa solemnis. The full score, which is published here for the first time, makes this most inspiring work by Herzogenberg accessible for performance. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
