Dû bist mîn is probably the best-known love song written in old German that has survived from the Middle Ages. It is often attributed to the famous poet Walther von der Vogelweide, who died around 1230. Unfortunately, the original 12th-century melody to which these verses were possibly has not been handed down. In his setting, Wolfgang König (*1947) delightfully interweaves the sounds of the medieval period with 21st-century music. Parallel fifths are juxtaposed with major-minor harmonies and saxophone solos embellish the choral movements that are also supported by a simple piano accompaniment. The choir consists of six voices divided into two groups. The antiphonal calls between the male and female singers mirror the love song's text: “Dû bist min, ich bin dîn: des solt dû gewis sîn” (You are mine; I am thine; of this you can be sure).

The English conductor and composer Howard Arman has presented us with a completed version of Mozart??s Requiem. ??Another one?? you might ask, since this publication is only the latest in a long line reaching back to the traditional Sü?mayr version. Yet such is the enormous power of Mozart??s score that the challenge and appeal of completing it remain undiminished. After two decades of intensive study, Howard Arman??s additions to Mozart??s great original show the requisite care and respect while incorporating many new insights.Arman?? s approach is particularly fruitful. Always aware of the appropriate limits to such re-creative work, he orients himself towards the typical characteristics of Mozart??s brilliant composing style: The masterly compositional technique, the search for innovative solutions to every problem, and even the terse treatment of the text with extremely suggestive harmonies. All of this leads to a number of new listening experiences. In the Tuba mirum, for example, we enjoy a warm, cohesive ensemble sound, supported by the bassoons, which depart from the bass line. The Confutatis presents a quite different picture: Even the basset horns are drawn down into the infernal depths. This effect is reinforced by the independence of the trombones; rather than simply following the choral parts, the instrument??s unique sound is given an opportunity to shine. Arman??s Lacrimosa achieves a lively Mozartian feel by granting the voices considerable freedom rather than following a rigid pattern. And he concludes the movement with a fugal Amen, whereby the focus is not so much on the counterpoint itself, but rather ?? in the spirit of Mozart ?? on creating a sense of drama and illuminating the theme in all its possible facets. Mozart??s fragment ends with the Hostias, and so does Arman??s completion. For the four following movements (Sanctus to Communio) we have nothing from Mozart, and so here, where the master is silent, Arman finally returns to Sü?mayr, the man who was closest to Mozart at the time of his death and whose efforts to fill the blank manuscripts still garner our respect today.Arman??s version has already proven its practical value. The premiere with the Bavarian Radio Choir was enthusiastically received by audiences and press alike ?? and celebrated as offering a scholarly, entirely fresh perspective on Mozart??s masterpiece.- World premiere by the Bavarian Radio Choir- Enthusiastically received by audience and press.

The cantata dates from Bach's time in Weimar. The instrumental scoring of four violas and basso continuo - in the Leipzig performances enhanced by two recorders doubling viola I and II at the octave - is unique in Bach's cantata oeuvre. It lends a dark, luxurious sound to the four movements which is gently illuminated by the recorders. The work - with its instrumental sinfonia, a short secco recitative and an extended accompagnato recitative (both of which contain arioso inserts), a short soprano aria and a simple closing chorale - makes no great demands on the performing forces. Admirers of text interpretation by means of instrumental figuration will be richly rewarded. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3101800.

In a mixture of cantata and concert piece, Beethoven set a hymn to art in his Choral Fantasy. The work, about 20 minutes in length, is often seen as a precursor to the Ode to Joy in the 9th Symphony. After a piano introduction, a dialog between piano and orchestra develops in the space of just 400 measures, before the soloists and chorus enter for the last 200 measures. (If necessary, the solo parts can be sung by members of the chorus or a semi-chorus.) In the main section, headed Finale (beginning with the double basses and celli), the theme from Beethoven's early song Gegenliebe (WoO 118, also used in the Ode to Joy) is presented, varied and finally used in the March in F major. The main source of the Choral Fantasia for the edition is the first edition of the parts, published in 1811 and corrected by Beethoven; alongside this an English edition of the parts published by Clementi (1810) has been consulted for comparison. The edition contains an English singing version in a translation by Natalia Macfarren from the 19th century. Score available separately - see item CA.1039400.
