Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. The “ Petite Messe Solennelle ” is the finest work of Rossini ’s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel, where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the “Stabat mater”, the mass is one of the composer’s most important sacred works. The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini ’s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by, for example, Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this, other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements. The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation. - Based on the Urtext of the series “Works of Gioachino Rossini”. - Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger). - With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte et Orchestre

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. La 'Petite Messe solennelle' est le plus beau travail ces dernières années de Rossini. Il a composé entre 1863 et 1864 à l'âge de 71 ans à titre de commission pour la comtesse Louise Pillet-Will pour la consécration de sa chapelle privée, où le travail a reçu sa première représentation en Mars 1864. Avec le 'Stabat mater', la masse est l'une des oeuvres sacrées mostimportant du compositeur. L'instrumentation inhabituelle avec deux pianos et harmonium est tout à fait conforme à la tradition du clavier napolitaine du 18ème siècle qui a été cultivé en France à l'époque de Rossini. Il forme un contraste frappant avec le style des compositions sacrées de grande envergure comme l'a écrit, par exemple, Liszt et Bruckner. Rossini a expliqué qu'il a écrit la version orchestrale tard du travail datant de 1867 de crainte que s'il ne le faisait pas, d'autres compositeurs pourraient orchestrer la masse trop lourdement dans les accords ultérieurs. La réduction pour piano par Andreas Kohs est très idiomatique et préserve en grande partie le caractère charmant de l'instrumentation inhabituelle. - Basé sur le Urtext de la série 'oeuvres de Gioachino Rossini' - Avant-propos en deux langues (anglais / allemand) - Avec une part d'harmonium séparée et une partie de pianos I et II '... Il est très difficile d'imaginer quelqu'un arriver à un texte plus savante, précis et pratiquement utile que cela.' (Classics aujourd'hui Juillet 2010) 'Aucun compositeur dans la première moitié du 19e siècle a connu la mesure du prestige, la richesse, succès populaire ou de l'influence artistique qui appartenait à Gioachino Rossini. Ses contemporains l'ont reconnu comme le plus grand compositeur italien de son temps. Ses réalisations jeté dans l'oubli le monde de l'opéra de Cimarosa et Paisiello, la création de nouvelles normes par rapport auxquelles d'autres compositeurs devaient être jugés. C'est à la fois Bellini et Donizetti taillé styles personnels est indéniable, mais ils ont travaillé dans l'ombre de Rossini, et leurs personnalités artistiques ont émergé dans la confrontation avec ses opéras. Pas jusqu'à l'avènement de Verdi était Rossini remplacé au centre de la vie de l'opéra italien. ' (Philip Gossett, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians)/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Bruckner?s mighty Mass in F minor is one of his most significant creations and one of the great 19th-century choral works. The composer uniquely succeeds in exploring faith through the lens of music. In doing so, he ventures into extreme forms of expression, which caused some disgruntlement among the musicians at rehearsals for the premiere in November 1868. In subsequent years, however, the work has gradually become more accepted, and today presents a highly appealing challenge to advanced choirs. The Carus edition presents the Mass in F minor as the final 1893 version based on the autograph and the surviving copies from the copyist. As an Urtext edition it follows the latest scholarly standards ready for the Bruckner anniversary year in 2024! / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Solistes [SATB], Double Choir et Piano

Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio'), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the 'New Bach Edition'.- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature- Based on the 'New Bach Edition'- Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng) / Alto

WAB 29. Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Anyone who is familiar with Bruckner?s symphonies and great masses will probably be astonished upon hearing his Missa solemnis of 1854: can the tradition of the Viennese classics still be so clearly evident in a work by Bruckner' And yet, isn?t it also possible to hear much of Bruckner?s later style'With this edition, the earliest of Bruckner?s orchestral masses is now available as an Urtext edition. It reflects the latest scholarly research, and the complete performance material is available on sale. Compared with Bruckner?s late masses, the demands on chorus and soloists are considerably less. The horns play in just two movements and can be replaced by trombones. This rarely performed work offers many choirs an exciting alternative to the better-known masses ? not only for the Bruckner anniversary in 2024! / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soli [SATB], SATB et Orchestre

BR-CPEB D 3 (Wq 240) - Oratorio. Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. Of the three oratorios which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed when he was music director in Hamburg, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is particularly intended to create splendor and effect with its use of magnificent-sounding trumpets and timpani. Bach liked this work very much and had it published in 1787, the year before his death. The following year the oratorio was performed by Mozart in Vienna.The text of the oratorio by Carl Wilhelm Ramler (1725?1798; better known as the poet of the frequently-set ?Der Tod Jesu?) covers the Easter story of the disciples at Emmaus and the doubting Thomas, up to the image of Jesus ascending to heaven.The score is published as Vol. IV,2 of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Edition, edited by the Packard Humanities Institute. Carus publishes the vocal score and choral score for this work. The full score and parts can also be obtained from Carus. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Soli [STB], SATB et Piano
