Great Credo Mass-The Missa K.257 bears the non-authentic dating 1776 and was presumably composed at the end of 1776 or in the first half of 1777. Like K.262 (246a) it is designated in Leopold Mozart?s handwriting as a Missa longa on the cover page of an early composite manuscript containing the five masses in C major. K.257 is listed there as the last work. The designation ?Missa longa? was intended to point out that this was an extensive full-scale mass. Normally it would have been called a Missa solemnis but Mozart for unknown reasons did not make use of this customary nomenclature.The name ?Credo Mass? is taken from the acclamations of ?Credo? that constantly interrupt thelike-named movement. The Mass is remarkable for its density of invention within the narrowest of confines. Further its instrumental accompaniment has an almost chamber-music quality that emerges time and again into almost symphonic proportions. Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?

Tonalité : F-Dur - Horn, Paul (Arr.) -. Par PLATTI GIOVANNI BENEDETTO. The first edition of a Missa in F by Giovanni Platti [ca. 1690–1763] is a rarity. Platti served at the Court of the Counts of Schönborn-Wiesentheid, and during his more than 40 years of service at the Court he worked for more than five masters and each of them knew how to make use of his musical abilities. Thus, in addition to his position as a virtuoso oboist, singer and violinist, he was also entrusted with the musical education of musicians. The Missa in F major is primarily a composition for choir; it is very singable, its construction is transparent and it is accompanied by only four strings and an organ. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Alto et Bas

Arranged for female choir (SMA)-The choral scene is in a state of change! On the one hand more and more choirs are lacking in male voices yet at the same time more and more female choirs are looking for high-quality literature beyond folksong arrangements. Bärenreiter is responding to these general trends with the publication of arrangements for three-part female choir (SMA) of well-known frequently-performed works.The first editions to be published are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s ?Coronation Mass? K. 317 (BA 5691) a much-performed work within the standard repertoire and the ?Missa brevis in D major? K. 194 (BA 5690-90) a charming alternative for use in church services. With great skill andsensitivity to the music Heribert Breuer has carefully retained the substance of the original works at the same time giving them a completely new sound quality.- Arrangements for female choir (SMA) based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?- Idiomatic piano reductionsThe arrangerHeribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie and has made a name for himself with his numerous arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.

Sparrow Mass-Mozart?s ?Missa in C major? (K.220) nicknamed the ?Sparrow Mass? for its frequently recurring characteristic motifs in the violins has retained a firm place in the choral repertoire to the present day.The ?Sparrow Mass? is one of the most significant pieces of church music from Mozart?s years in Salzburg.Thanks to its clarity and largely homophonic texture it remains even today a work that is easily mastered in church and concert hall performances.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionIdeal for church services and concert performancesFull score & performance material (BA5343) and vocal score (BA5343-90)for saleArrangement for soloists choir & organ (BA7522) for saleArrangement for soloists and female choir (BA5693) avaailable for sale

Features of the Barenreiter Urtext edition of Mendelssohn’s setting of Psalm 98 (Singet Dem Herrn / Sing To The Lord):Bilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng)Words underlaid in both German and EnglishPiano reduction based on the first printed editionFull score performance material (BA9076) and vocal score (BA9076-90) available for saleMendelssohn composed his setting of Psalm 98 (Singet Dem Herrn / Sing To The Lord) in the space of just a few weeks to satisfy a commission in his new position as general musicdirector of Prussia. The work was premiered by the Berlin Cathedral Choir on 1 January 1844. As Mendelssohn neither released the work for publication nor produced a vocal score his psalm setting did not appear in print until after his death.For this edition the authoritative Mendelssohn specialist John Michael Cooper drew primarily on the autograph score with its many subsequent corrections and amendments. In this way it differs from many other editions which tend to treat the autograph as a subordinate source. Rounding off the edition are an informative Foreword and a detailed Critical Commentary. The Piano reduction is based on the first printed edition which was published by F. Kistner and Evers & Co. in 1851.

Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration.A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement.Compatible with Vocal score H 2924-90.Dvo ák?s Requiem for soloists choir and orchestra is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber Orchestra based on the full score from the Complete Edition of the Works by Anton n Dvo ák.The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single Horn; all that remains of the Percussion arethe Timpani; the Organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and Bass Clarinet parts can be replaced by an Oboe and Clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts).This arrangement which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvo ák?s original orchestration makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.
