Frauenchor-For performance material on sale use regular 4-part edition BA4653.Arrangement for SMezAA based on the Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.Idiomatic Piano reduction.Haydn presumably wrote his Missa brevis in 1775 for the Brothers Hospitallers of Eisenstadt Abbey. The work takes its nickname the ‘Little Organ Mass’ from the Organ solo in the Benedictus. This arrangement for female choir (SMezAA) is based on the complete edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.The original soprano and alto parts have for the most part been taken over as has the soprano solo in the Benedictus. The tenor and bass parts are distributed among themezzo-sopranos and altos with a few well thought-out alterations to preserve the harmonic structure. Heribert Breuer has retained the original substance with great skill while giving the work a wholly new and attractive sound.Heribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is the founder and conductor of the Berlin Bach Academy.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote his first great vocal composition the Magnificat in 1749 at the age of 35. It bears all the earmarks of “audition music” i.e. a piece that organists and choir directors had to submit when applying for a new position. This feature is especially evident in its stylistic variety which makes the work a rewarding and colorful challenge for all church choirs. Special attractions are the work's contrapuntal passages which are very similiar in sound and structure to those of J. S. Bach’s B minor Mass. The present arrangement for soloists chorus and organ is intended as a self contained version accessible to a widerange of choirs even those with limited financial means. - Self contained version for soloists (SATB) chorus (SATB) and organ - Ideal for use in church and concert hall - Clear and well presented organ part - Duration: ca. 40 minutes The Bärenreiter CHOIR&ORGAN Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed. The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into straight-forward organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration. In some cases the original organ version by the composer has been used. The Organ parts are presented on three staves. The choir and solo parts always remain true to the original. One edition can be used by soloists singers and Organist alike.

Waisenhausmesse (C)-This Mozart Mass (together with BA 7520 & BA 7522) have been arranged for solo voices chorus and organ from the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? thereby making them accessible in all their beauty to choruses and church choirs with limited financial means at their disposal. Martin Focke has based the ?concertante? organ parts on the orchestral writing doing full justice to the timbre of the original. The solo parts and choruses of course leave the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? entirely untouched.Mozart had barely turned twelve when he composed and conducted his Missa solemnis in C minor K.139 to inaugurate a new orphanage on Vienna?sRennweg in 1768.This astonishing early work adheres to the form of a Neapolitan cantata mass in which the separate movements (?Gloria? ?Credo? etc.) are themselves made up of self-contained choruses ariosos and ensembles.This frequently heard Mass is characterized by a sharp contrast between its cheerful underlying C major mood and gloomy dramatic passages in the minor mode.Self-contained version with organ instead of orchestra Straightforward and easy-to-play organ part Ideal for church services and concert performances Original version for soloists choir and orchestra BA4858

Francis Pott’s My song is love unknown sets all of Samuel Crossman’s famous verses but one (commonly omitted when the poem is sung metrically as a hymn). The music begins with offbeat repeated chords prompted—not inappropriately—by the opening to Richard Strauss’s tone poem  Death and transfiguration. In its early stages only trebles and altos are heard. The sequential flow of Crossman’s poem is soon disrupted with particular dramatic ends in mind. After a seemingly anxious harmonic distortion of the opening chords the word ‘crucify’ arises initially as a mere mutter from the lowervoices so timed as to afford assonance with other words in the upper parts and thus remain barely discernible as if only imagined. In due course however cries of ‘Hosanna’ find themselves on a collision course with a rising tide of ‘Crucify’ during which the ‘Hosanna’ faction gradually loses heart and sheep-like defects until a single treble voice—plaintively daring to repeat the ‘offending’ word—is swept aside by a murderous outcry. In due course ‘Crucify’ recurs as a further angry climax before the opening music returns this time expanding into an extended polyphonic final section for double choir and SATB soloists. The principal climax of the work subsides into a form of epilogue crowned sorrowfully by a treble soloist to whom the music in toto has by now presented many challenges. The anthem ends in the key and mood of its opening. The character of its demanding organ part reflects the possibility that it may one day be orchestrated.   My song is love unknown was composed in memory of Michael Renton a craftsman and largely self-taught ‘Renaissance’ man who was not only a member of the Winchester cathedral congregation but also the cathedral’s stonemason. He was beloved of many in the Cathedral community; a true and

J'ai toujours été attiré par les grands textes sacrés et les ouvrages philosophiques, Si j'ai choisi d'écrire une messe de Requiem, ce n'est surtout pas pour satisfaire une curiosité morbide, que l'on peut trouver chez quelques romantiques déprimés ou certains théologiens aux idées masochistes des temps anciens, absurdes moralistes de l'Inquisition confondant la vie avec la souffrance,J'ai avant tout cherché un moyen de me rapprocher de ma foi par un pèlerinage intérieur, une quête évidente et indispensable, Je pense que la musique est avant tout spirituelle, C'est par elle que j'ai puisé mon besoin de Dieu, et qui a donné un sens à ma vie, Que dire du sentiment réconfortant à écouter les grandes oeuvres prophétiques de Jean-Sébastien Bach ?Ecrire un Requiem, c'est d'abord écrire une oeuvre monumentale pour la vie, Que ce soit pour nos défunts, pour qui nous espérons une renaissance éternelle, ou pour le réconfort des vivants et leur accompagnement dans une recherche de l'absolu, A travers ma musique, je livre ainsi un voyage intérieur, souvent conflictuel, allant de mes doutes à mes convictions, et qui me permettrait de me débarrasser des futilités temporelles, pour ne garder que l'illumination, préparation intérieure à l'éclosion, recherche de la légèreté, libération, vibration cosmique et universelle,Frédéric Ledroit ' Je considère le Requiem de Frédéric LEDROIT comme l'équivalent, à leur époque, de ceux de Fauré et de Duruflé, Très inspiré, il traduit parfaitement la force, la puissance, mais aussi la poésie et la sérénité qu'on retrouve chez ses aînés, Frédéric LEDROIT n'est pas homme de concession et son oeuvre, une gifle aux péchés de l'Homme et l'entrée dans l'Eternité, a mûri pendant plusieurs années de façon à ce qu'il en soit extrait tout le suc de sa spiritualité, Cet enfantement est une magnifique preuve d'Amour à Dieu, Ayant eu le privilège d'être parmi les quelques interprètes (ou plutôt ' acteurs ') de sa première audition en l'église de la Madeleine à Paris, le dimanche 24 juin 2012, je n'oublierai jamais l'émotion qui m'envahit lors de ce grand moment d'intense communion et de grâce, un moment rare, 'François-Henri Houbart, organiste des grandes orgues de la Madeleine, Paris Prélude 2'54Introït 7'55Kyrie 2'56Dies irae 2'27Tuba mirum 2'55Domine Jesu 3'43Hostias 3'28Sanctus 4'05Pie Jesu 2'35Agnus Dei 6'14Ave Maria 2'32Lux aeterna 3'40Libera me 5'31In paradisum 3'32 / Choeur Mixte
