B-Dur-Francesco Durante's Magnificat in B flat major is one of his most important works and also one of the most siginifcant settings of the Magnficat text here in cantata form. This work displays a mastery of the polyhonic style and though the use of certain pre-classical 'modern' elements its various forms never sound archaic rather the work presents a synthesis leading to a unique style. For a performance during the Christmas season Christmas hymns can be inserted between each of the individual movements. Six arrangements of such hymns are also available as octavos (Carus 10.270/06): - Johann Crüger: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland - Cornelius Freundt: Wie schön singt unsder Engel Schar - Johann Sebastian Bach: Uns ist ein Kindlein heut geborn - Erhard Bodenschatz: Joseph lieder Joseph mein - Johann Crüger: Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen - Gregor Joseph Werner: Der Tag der ist so freudenreich The string parts for these movements are included in the parts Carus 10.270/11-14.

Ein Deutsches Weihnachtsliederspiel Nach Oberbayerischen und Tiroler Weisen. Par HAAS JOSEPH. Das Weihnachtsliederspiel Christnacht des Komponisten und Pädagogen Joseph Haas gehört zu den Klassikern des geistlichen Spiels. Haas hatte den Mangel an für Laien spielund singbarer weihnachtlicher Oratorienliteratur beklagt. ?Nichts lag näher, als die altbekannten lieben weihnachtlichen Volksweisen zu einem einheitlichen Liederspiel zu vereinigen. Als ich den Plan durchdachte, wurde es mir klar, dass sich nur solche Melodien, die der gleichen deutschen Landschaft angehören, zu einem stilistisch einwandfreien Organismus verbinden können. Der mir befreundete Münchener Gesangspädagoge Professor Anton Schiegg, ein gründlicher Kenner süddeutscher Volkskunst, machte mich auf den kostbaren Schatz der bezaubernden oberbayerischen und Tiroler Krippenlieder aufmerksam?, so beschreibt Joseph Haas die Anregung zu seinem Spiel, das für Kinder ab 10 Jehren und für Jugendliche geeignet ist. Eine Aufnahme des Werkes ist bei TYXart erschienen und kann hier bestellt werden. / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Solistes, Ch?ur Mixte SATB et Orgue

Orgelsolomesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Der Beiname dieser Messe verdankt sich der eigenständig-solistischen Präsenz des Orgelinstruments während des 'Benedictus'-Abschnittes. Damit steht KV 259 in einer bis in die 1730er Jahre zurückreichende Tradition, die sich durch Komponistennamen vor allem aus dem Wiener Raum, wie Georg Reuter, Joseph Haydn, Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf oder Johann Baptist Vanhal belegen lässt. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale

Monteverdi’s opera “L’Orfeo” based on the legend of Thracian singer Orpheus and his love of Eurydice is a masterpiece of musical declamation and ornamentation. It was first performed during the 1607 carnevale in the “Palazzo Ducale” in Mantua.When an edition remains true to its sources this certainly does not mean that it is not also practical to use as is demonstrated in this Bärenreiter edition of Monteverdi’s “L’Orfeo”. Edited by Rinaldo Alessandrini the new publication follows the Bärenreiter edition of Monteverdi’s “Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria”.Two contemporary prints of “L’Orfeo” from the years 1609 and 1615 have been passed down to us. Four copies of each of these prints still survive today in public libraries. The later print includes many corrections to the earlier edition and was accordingly used as the primary source for this Bärenreiter edition. However when solving musical problems the editor frequently follows the more coherent style of the earlier print. The numerous interesting variants not only between the two editions but also amongst the eight surviving copies are listed in the critical commentary.This edition of “L’Orfeo” offers in addition to Monteverdi’s somewhat sparse original figures also figures added to the bass line by the editor. The continuo player should however feel free to follow his own judgment. The notation has been when necessary adapted to suit modern practice for example with regard to the clefs. The sections that were originally written in “chiavetta” have been transposed a fifth lower. In the appendix these sections also appear in their original notation in facsimile as well as transposed a fourth lower.
