This work, which was written shortly after the Trumpet Sonata and the Five Pieces For Piano, was first performed by Georgina Dobree and the composer at the 1957 Darmstadt Festival. The score was subsequently lost, but was rediscovered by Kevin Corner in 1983. 'This is a dramatic, emphatic and at times extravagant piece. The first movement is a Moderato reaching through wide-flung clarinet lines and keen piano gestures to a great climax near the end. Then comes a quick movement, a kind of demonic scherzo, including a cadenza for the clarinettist. The finale is an Adagio that gradually achieves a sort of simplicity, though not before exceedingly testing times for both players. Duration c. 25mins.

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.

World premiere Leipzig, May 17, 1989 CDCD Wergo 286 295 - 2Eine der grossen Erscheinungen am Beginn jener Epoche welche durch technische Erfindungen das Leben der Menschen auf der ganzen Erde grundlegend verandert hat ist Leonardo da Vinci. Mit entwickeltem naturwissenschaftlichen Denken hat er eingegriffen in diese gewaltigen und gewaltsamen Prozesse. Scharf und energisch hat er - neben seinen kunstlerischen Hervorbringungen und gleichzeitig mit ihnen - Beitrage erbracht zu verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen. Aber schon am Anfang dieser Entwicklung des Denkens und Forschens hat er auch Bedenklichkeiten gesehen und diese in sogenannten ,,Prophezeiungen zusammengestellt: einer unsystematischen Folge von Aphorismen zu mannigfaltigen Erscheinungen menschlicher Wirksamkeiten und Verhaltensweisen. Einige dieser Gedanken habe ich ausgewahlt und als Textvorlage fur eine A-cappella-Vertonung eingerichtet.1.,, Von den Bombarden die aus der Grube und der Grussform kommen: Nachdrucklich und wiederholt von Mal zu Mal auf hoherer Tonstufe wird deklamiert ,,Da wird aus der Erde etwas kommen... 2. ,,Vom Grasmahen: Der Gedanke da Vincis wird gesungen auf die Melodie des Liedes ,,Es ist ein Schnitter heisst der Tod. Der Text dieses alten Totentanzreigens wird in einem daruber liegenden Tonsatz als Kontrafaktur zur alten Melodie deklamiert. 3. ,,Von den Eiern die keine Kucken hervorbringen konnen weil sie gegessen werden: Diese durch Verfremdung gewonnene Haltung gegenuber dem Phanomen Leben wird vom Frauenchor und einer solistischen Frauenstimme gesungen. 4. ,,Von der Grausamkeit des Menschen: Gewaltsamkeiten achtloser Umgang mit der Erde und dem Himmel werden benannt daraus resultierende Verhangnisse aber auch Fragen an die Erde als ein reagierendes Lebewesen werden formuliert.(Siegf ried Thiele)

In this series for the intermediate guitarist, John Fahey teaches a wide variety of instrumental solos. Critics have called Johns style American Primitive Guitar. The book includes tablature and notation with three compact discs featuring note-by-note, phrase-by-phrase instruction. LESSON ONE: A general discussion of pattern picking and the use of the alternate bass. In Christ There Is No East Or West, Take A Look At That Baby and Some Summer Day. LESSON TWO: One of Johns most requested multi-sectioned composition is Indian Pacific Railroad Blues, also known as Beverley. This tune demonstrates how John composes in the fingerpicking idiom. Also taught is another very requested and imitated instrumental, Johns The Last Steam Engine Train. LESSON THREE: When The Springtime Comes Again and The Approaching Of The Disco Void. A discussion of improvisational ideas in relationship to fingerstyle compositions concludes this lesson.

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. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2709600.
