For the magnificent opening of the oratorio season at the beginning of 1736 Handel presented a composition which, like hardly any of his other oratorios, gave him the opportunity to display his musical artistry: John Dryden's ode Alexander's Feast or the Power of Music, published in 1696, demonstrates the power of music by the example of the ancient hero, Alexander the Great. From the impressive lament on the death of Darius, the King of Persia, to the boisterous Praise of Bacchus Handel avails himself of the entire breadth of the musical representation of the emotions and the possibilities for expression. In the text by Newburg Hamilton added at the end of work St. Cecilia elevates the events of the ancient heathen story, which Handel expressed in plastic, skillful polyphony. Later, this homage to the patron saint of church music, Handel also present the opportunity to perform the work on St. Cecilia's Day (22 November). For the first time the present new edition is based consistently on Handel's conducting score, which he used for his own performances of the oratorio, thus not only eliminating timeworn errors, but also offering clarity concerning the choruses, the arias and recitatives, actually performed in Handel's concerts, as well as their sequence of performance. The new Carus edition offers two performance versions: the version of the premiere in 1736, as well as a revised version from 1751. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Concerto for Harp HWV 294 (CV 55.294) is also possible; Handel composed this work especially for Alexander's Feast (as an illustration of Timotheus, the ancient poet who played the lyre). For this purpose the edition contains the appropriate alternatives for the sequence of the movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5507500.

WINNING PERFORMANCE EBBC LILLE 2016Raveling, Unraveling In Search of ‘La Valse’ was written for the Cory Band as their own-choice test piece for the 2016 European Brass Band Championships in Lille. The piece found its genesis in Sparke’s The Unknown Journey (2014) forconcert band, and the use of Ravel’s La Valse as a structural undercurrent to the original piece is an act of reverence. Sparke’s aim was to produce a work that is organic rather than episodic in nature. The composer’s view is that little inmusic does this better than La Valse and for this reason he uses various sections of this masterpiece, both manipulated and quoted verbatim (including much of its stunningclosing passages) to provide the overall geography of his new work. Asthe music progresses, more of the Ravel appears, surfacing completely as the piece reaches its climax - a gesture of homage to the French master. WINNAAR EBBC LILLE 2016Raveling, Unraveling In Search of ‘La Valse’ is geschreven voor de Britse Cory Band als keuzewerk voor de Europese Brassband Kampioenschappen van 2016 in Lille. De oorsprong ligt in Sparkes The Unknown Journey (2014) voorharmonieorkest. Het is een diepe buiging naar Ravels La Valse, die wordt gebruikt als een soort structurele onderstroom van een origineel stuk muziek, met als doel een werk te maken dat organisch van karakter is. De componist heeftverschillende gedeelten uit het meesterwerk ingebracht, zowel bewerkt als letterlijk geciteerd met veel van de prachtige slotpassages om de algehele opbouw van zijn nieuwe werk te scheppen. Naarmate demuziek voortgaat, verschijnt er meer vanRavel, waarna de wals volledig opduikt in de apotheose: een fraai eerbetoon aan de Franse meester. SIEGER EBBC LILLE 2016Raveling, Unraveling In Search of La Valse wurde für die Cory Band als selbst ausgewähltes Prüfungsstück bei den European Brass Band Championships 2016 in Lille komponiert. Die Komposition hat ihren Ursprung in Sparkes 2014 entstandenemStück The Unknown Journey für Blasorchester. Es handelt sich um eine Art Hommage, denn Ravels La Valse wird hier als formale Grundlage für ein eher in sich geschlossenes und nicht nur episodenhaftes Originalwerk verwendet. DemKomponisten zufolge gibt es kaum eine Musik, die dies besser vermag als La Valse. Er verwendet verschiedene Abschnitte aus diesem Meisterwerk, sowohl bearbeitet als auch direkt übernommen inklusive zahlreicher fantastischer Schlusspassagen ,um die Gesamtstruktur seines neuen Werkes darzustellen. Je mehr die Musik voranschreitet, umso mehr wird Ravels Einfluss erkennbar, vor allem beim Erreichen des musikalischen Höhepunktes des gesamten Stückes eine Hommage an den französischenMeister. VAINQUEUR EBBC LILlE 2016Raveling, Unraveling In Search of La Valse a été composé pour le Cory Band comme pièce de choix pour le Championnat Européen de Brass Band 2016 Lille. L’œuvre tire son origine de la pièce de concert pour orchestre d’harmonie de Sparke,The Unknown Journey (2014). Une marque de respect La Valse, ce nouveau morceau utilise l’œuvre de Ravel comme sous-courant structurel et a comme objectif un genre organique plutôt qu’épisodique. D’après le compositeur, La Valseest l’un des seuls morceaux qui réussit accomplir ceci. Il se sert de plusieurs sections de ce chef d’œuvre, aussi bien modifiées que citées telles quelles y inclus laplupart de ses magnifiques passages finaux pour établir la structure généralede ce nouveau morceau. Plus la musique progresse, plus la musique de Ravel apparaît, et domine alors que l’apogée est atteinte un hommage au maestro français.
