Although the organ works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert are enjoying ever greater popularity, his choral pieces are still waiting to be discovered. This, however, is now only a matter of time. During his middle creative period, Karg-Elert developed his own, unmistakable choral style. His few choral works, which stem from the years 1912 and 1913, unquestionably belong to his major works from this period.

Ercole Pasquini (1550 ca-ante 1620), working for many years in Ferrara, then Frescobaldi’s predecessor as organist of the Cappella Giulia, leaves a considerable corpus of keyboard music that identify him as a link between Frescobaldi and Naples. It is half a century since the first critical edition of Ercole Pasquinis keyboard music was published (CEKM, vol. 12). This new edition (in two volumes) appears in the light of subsequent scholarship. It offers new solutions for some troublesome passages. It includes a number of pieces that were not included in the previous edition, but which do seem to have been attributed to Pasquini, as well as unattributed pieces which maywell have been by him. It also takes account of a source (ms. Naples 48, dated ca.1600) which has come to light in the intervening years. This manuscript includes a copy of a Canzona by Pasquini that is older and generally superior to the other surviving copies of this piece. The preface contains detailed discussion of the composers biography, the provenance of the sources, and the performance implications of the notation. Both preface and commentary are in English and Italian.

Attivo per molti anni in Ferrara, poi predecessore di Frescobaldi come organista della Cappella Giulia, Ercole Pasquini (1550 ca-ante 1620) lascia un consistente corpus di musica per tastiera che si pone come punto di raccordo tra Frescobaldi el’ambiente napoletano.Dopo mezzo secolo dalla pubblicazione della prima edizione critica della sua musica per tastiera (CEKM, vol. 12), il volume che qui si presenta (primo di due) appare alla luce degli studi più recenti e offre nuove soluzioni per alcuni passaggiproblematici. Comprende altresì una serie di pezzi non inclusi nella precedente edizioni, ma ascritti a Pasquini, così come pezzi non attribuiti, ma probabilmente da lui composti. Si tiene conto anche di una fonte (ms. Napoli 48, databile ca 1600),venuta alla luce in anni recenti, particolarmente autorevole nella trasmissione di una Canzona. La prefazione contiene la presentazione dettagliata della biografia del compositore, la provenienza delle fonti e le questioni notazionali in rapporto all’esecuzione. Prefazione e commento sono in italiano e in inglese.
