Barenreiter - Choral SATB

Antonio Vivaldi?s Magnificat in G minor has come down to us in two conflicting versions. The earlier one probably the original version (RV 610) is dominated by impressive but largely straightforward choral passages set against a few brief vocal ensembles manageable by soloists from the choir.In the later version (RV 611) the solo parts and one chorus are replaced by demanding virtuoso arias. Andreas Köhs arrangement for soloists chorus and organ allows performers to choose between these two versions and is equally suitable for use in church and concert hall.Standard repertoire work easy to performIndependent version for soloists (RV 610: SSAT;RV 611: SA) chorus (SATB) and organClear and well presented organ partSuitable for use in church and concert hallDuration: ca. 15 minutes (RV 610) or 20 minutes (RV 611)The Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into easy-to-play organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration.

Motet for two four-part mixed choirs-Fürchte dich nicht ich bin bei dir for two four-part mixed choirs A major BWV 228 All of Bach’s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas’ Church Leipzig where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period Bach composed most of his cantatas and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition. - Performance material and choral score (BA5133) available for sale. -Complete edition of the 6 Motets vocal score with piano reduction (BA5193-90) choral score (BA5193)

The ' Messe de Requiem? is probably the internationally best-known and most frequently performed work by Gabriel Fauré . The composer's first version was limited to just five movements and small-scale forces with low strings, harp and organ. The work was then expanded several times culminating in the version for large orchestra of 1900. This orchestral version forms the basis of this edition.Despite its comparatively long period of gestation, the Requiem forms a stylistic unity. Unlike other requiem settings, the composer foregoes any theatrical gestures in this work. A restrained dynamic range together with graceful melodic writing for both soloists and choir give the work a gentle and optimistic character.The choral score just as the vocal score are based on the volume of the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré (BA 9461) published in 2010. It is important to note that this choral score is also compatible with the first small-scale version as well as the second chamber orchestra version.- High-quality Urtext edition based on the 'Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré?- First systematic evaluation of all sources- Based on the large orchestral version of 1900- Choral score suitable for all versions of the Requiem / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Die Schöpfung. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. The oratorio 'The Creation' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn's compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio. At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life. This choral score supplements the existing performance material (BA 4648). It is based on the G. Henle Complete edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn'./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB

Chorale partita on the Weihnachtsgeschichte Christmas Story-Es ist ein Ros entsprungen Op.10Chorale partita on the Weihnachtsgeschichte (Christmas Story) for Mixed choir (SATB)Hugo Distler born on the 24th June 1908 in Nuremberg and died on the 1st November 1942 in Berlin was a German organist choral conductor teacher and composer.

Vivaldi's Kyrie RV 587 (BA 8950) is scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a Choral work without solo passages.Today the ?Gloria? RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi?s best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred Vocal works from the Baroque period. Vivaldi wrote the ?Gloria? as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period atthe Ospedale della Piet around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ?Gloria? Vivaldi displays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements to tender transparently scored solo passages.Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward clearly presented and preserve the character of the works.- Attractive choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass.- Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

Unfinished Mass-Mass E-flat major 'Unfinished Mass'for SATB soloists mixed chorus and organ By reason of its conciseness of style Janacek's Latin Mass from around 1907-1908 gives the impression of being an inspired sketch rather than a finished work. In particular the brevitv of the Agnus Dei is surprising in effect. The work has a number of striking features: its totally individual melodic andrhythmic style resulting from Janacek's well-known approach to word-setting; the use of rests for expressive purposes; the original use of heterophony which here replaces traditional polyphony; and the expressively written instrumental part. A truly worthwhilepiece offering reasonably proficient amateur choirs a good introduction to modern choral repertoire.

Hob XXI:3. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Joseph Haydn's oratorio 'The Seasons' was composed directly after the first successful performances of 'The Creation'. 'The Seasons' has been greatly overshadowed by 'The Creation' for a long time and yet this work has far greater changes of style between popular Singspiel and great oratorio than 'The Creation'. 'The Seasons' continues to impress and remains part of the core repertoire to the present with its overwhelming richness of musical character and its immense formal variety.
