According to statements by the composer, the Missa sacra is suitable for both worship services, as well as for concerts, and at the same time it is not difficult to perform. The expressive harmonies, precise use of counterpoint and its concise themes show that the Missa sacra is a highly romantic work which belongs among the great masterpieces of 19th century sacred music. Following a performance in 1861 Clara Schumann wrote to Johannes Brahms: The Kyrie is deeply moving, and as if cast from one mold; in the Sanctus individual movements had such a wonderful sonorous effect that chills ran down my spine. For the present edition Zsigmond Szathmary has made a new arrangement for organ of the original orchestra accompaniment. Additional editions in the Series Choir & Organ.

The enormous range of publications for mixed choir is published in the Choir Library in separate volumes for secular and sacred repertoire. The secular repertoire is divided into two volumes of unaccompanied choral music and one volume of works with instrumental accompaniment, mostly piano. The focus of the publishing house's program is on the Romantic era here. The majority of works was therefore composed by the great choral composers of this period: Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Robert Schumann. Later composers include Max Reger, Johann Nepomuk David and Kurt Thomas, but also Einojuhani Rautavaara and Siegfried Thiele. As female composers, Fanny Hensel and Clara Schumann are represented.We wish you lots of joy at discovering and singing!Volume 1 A cappellaI. Love SongsII. Seasonal SongsIII. Nature SongsIV.

Now complete with piano-vocal score
ISBN 9790004404720. 7.5 x 10.5 inches.
Brahms' Begrabnisgesang op. 13 has long been one of Breitkopf & Hartel's standard works. Yet while musicians were able to acquire the score, orchestral parts and choral score, there was no piano-vocal score up to now. This gap is now being closed. The piano-vocal score will be a valuable asset to all choirs learning and performing the work, not least because the piano reduction is conceived so as to sound compelling on the organ as well. In his preface, Ulrich Mahlert suggests that the work of the then 25-year-old composer is perhaps to be seen in the light of Robert Schumann's death and Clara Schumann's own thoughts of death.

Johannes Brahms's Alto Rhapsody is published here in a new Urtext edition, modernised for present-day performance practice. It is based on the 2nd impression of the first printed edition, as this is regarded as the authentic musical text following the last revisions made by the composer. The musical setting of Goethe's poem Harzreise im Winter opens with a somber beginning, then by turning to divine powers, it arrives at a hopeful new level. The work - which was composed in connection with the marriage of Julie, the daughter of Brahms's revered Clara Schumann, in 1869 - impresses above all with its personal touch as well as its pioneering progressive harmonies and enormous compositional power, which still entice listeners into the concert hall.

I think they are very easy to play and delightful too, wrote Johannes Brahms in August 1860 to Breitkopf & Hartel to heighten the songs' appeal to the publisher. He had already sent his Four Songs Accompanied by Two Horns and Harp to his Hamburger Frauenchor. He chose prominent texts by Shakespeare, Ossian, Eichendorff and others, and soon turned to his trusted friend Clara Schumann, whose transcription of three of the four Songs is the principal source of the work today. The publishers Brahms had contacted did not entirely share the composer's vision of horns and harp as a particularly fitting and attractive instrumental accompaniment, and felt there could be problems here. Nonetheless, their reservations could not hinder the lasting success of the Four Songs.
