Premiered in London in 1733, Handel's 'magic opera 'Orlando is based on a libretto by Carlo Sigismondo Capeci that derives indirectly from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem 'Orlando furioso .This subject was very popular at the time and was frequently set to music, e.g. by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Agostino Steffani and Joseph Haydn. The title role of Orlando is the last one that Handel wrote for the celebrated castrato Senesino. Several stunning stage effects intended to illustrate Zoroastro's sorcery call for sophisticated baroque stage machinery.The vocal score has been adapted and carefully amended in keeping with the revision of the complete edition volume. The engraving and presentation of the former vocal score (BA 4027-90) have also been meticulously revised in many details. However the pagination stays the same so that both vocal scores are compatible with each other. A new Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger) is also included in the edition.- Urtext edition based on the 'Halle Handel Edition - With a singable translation in German- Adapted in keeping with the revised score- Comprehensive bilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger)- Idiomatic piano reduction / Chant Et Piano

Tiresias, the Blind Prophet of Thebes, is on a walk, and along comes Orlando, the title character from Virginia Woolf's novel. Orlando, who is of noble birth, has only recently been changed - inexplicably - during seven mysterious days of unbroken sleep - from a man to a woman, and is crossing this plane heading from Constantinople back to England, his homeland. Tiresias assumes that Orlando will ask him for advice, and so speaks first.

Grundlage der von namhaften Musikwissenschaftlern erarbeiteten 35 Werkdarstellungen von Guillaume de Machaut uber Orlando di Lasso, Bach, Schubert und Brahms bis Schonberg und Britten ist die Interpretation der in Wort und Ton fixierten musikalischen Texte, die Erorterung von deren ideengeschichtlichem Zusammenhang und kunstgeschichtlichem Wesen unter vielfaltigen Gesichtspunkten. Mit der Erschliessung der Werkgehalte wird jedem Ausfuhrenden und jedem Horer - Chorleitern und Sangern, Studenten, Komponisten, Wissenschaftlern und Padagogen - der Weg zu einer gleichermassen geistigen und sinnlichen Auffassung der Musik gewiesen. In einem separaten Band sind alle im Text behandelten Kompositionen vollstandig wiedergegeben. Mit diesem Sammelband wird die erstmals 1983 erschienene erfolgreiche Publikation gleichen Titels fortgesetzt und zu einem Abriss der Geschichte der unbegleiteten Chor- und Ensemblemusik von der Ars antiqua bis zur Gegenwart erganzt, der theoretischem Analyseanspruch wie musikpraktischen Erfordernissen gleichermassen gerecht wird.
