This exclusive collection brings together 12 of Nico Muhly?s sacred works for mixed-voice choir. These vivacious fresh and dramatic pieces will make an impact whether in the church or in the concert hall and range from the intimate Lord keep us modest when we claim to the effervescent Bright Star Carol alongside service music such as Muhly?s Third Service. All are accessible to learn and offer choirs a new slant on contemporary choral music at its very best.  'Choral music has always been at the emotional core of my musical output. Even when I?m writing large-scale orchestral works (or indeed chamber music) I alwaysfind myself returning to techniques and textures I?ve greedily stolen from centuries of music from Tye to Howells early and recent. I try to design my own choral music primarily for use in worship where the measure of the success of the piece is if it helps guide the listeners? ears upwards and elsewhere as sacred architecture and the various rituals of the church themselves are meant to do. The specificity of music heard only in certain seasons is for me an important and thrilling element of the choral tradition: a Beethoven Symphony is welcome at any point in the year but an anthem for Candlemas works only then at a certain time of day and on a certain day of the year. With this functional spirit at the heart of the compositional process I hope that the music collected here makes equal sense in a concert setting. These works range from ordinaries of the mass to hymns to motets and represent a decade and a half of output.' - Nico Muhly

Composed for maximum flexibility and scored for SA(T)B voices, the optional cued notes make it possible for the cantata to grow with your choir. Smaller choirs will enjoy the rich textures and larger ensembles will be able to engage their full resources. For churches that desire an instrumental component, a very modest consort instrumentation creates a reverent accompaniment. The narration contains scriptures and prayers to convey the graceful theme of Christ's sacrificial love. Ending with the crucifixion, A Gathering of Grace will set the stage for Easter morning.

Autograph: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz-'I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.'(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy)Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach's 'St Matthew Passion'. Originally composed for Vespers on Good Friday and even longer in duration than the 'St John Passion' it reconstructs the story of Christ's Passion with immense musical emotional and spiritual intensity.And so this monumental and complex composition has come to rank amongst the high points of Western culture. For good reason the 'rediscovery' of Johann Sebastian Bach's music began in 1829 with theperformance of this work by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the Berlin Singakademie.The autograph manuscript is regarded as one of Bach's most beautiful the fair copy demonstrates the importance he attached to the careful preservation of the work for posterity. A further special feature is the coloured ink with which he wrote the biblical text and the music of the chorale 'O Lamm Gottes unschuldig'.This facsimile edition reproduces the autograph score of the 'St Matthew Passion' for the first time in high-quality colour printing. The Bach specialist Christoph Wolff introduces the background to the work's composition and the characteristics of the manuscript.Martina Rebmann (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) provides further details regarding the history of the autograph manuscript; with a preface by Barbara Schneider-Kempf general director of the Staatsbibliothek.BÄRENREITER FACSIMILEThe seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.The distinguishing features include:- a facsimile in high-quality colour printing- scholarly commentary- attractive cover designFacsimile of the authograph score in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz.With a commentary by Christoph Wolff Martina Rebmann and Barbara Schneider-Kempf.Documenta musicologica II 47166 pages of facsimile and approx. 30 pages commentary (Eng/Ger)Format: 37.5 x 24cm; Half-leather binding hardbackISBN 978-3-7618-2294-4

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.

Dieses Kindermusical versteht sich als ökologisches Lehrstück. James Krüss dichtete den Text nach seinem gleichnamigen Buch und Christian Bruhn, der Komponist von Hey, hey Wicki und Heidi, vertonte ihn als Musical für Kinder und Jugendliche.Florian fliegt auf seiner Wolke über das Land und sieht von oben nicht nur Wiesen, Felder und fröhliche Menschen, sondern erfährt auch, wie Leichtsinn, Dummheit und Gewinnsucht in Umweltzerstörung und Krieg enden können. So wie es im echten Leben noch keine Lösung für all diese Probleme gibt, endet auch das Musical offen mit einer Art Appell: ?Menschen müssen bleiben, doch wir hoffen, dass ihr Treiben in der Zukunft besser sei!'.Die Kinder treten in verschiedenen ein- bis zweistimmigen Chören auf. So können viele Kinder (mit verschiedenen Kostümen) oder sogar mehrere Schulklassen an dem Projekt teilnehmen. Solisten, stumme Rollen und Erzähler(in) vervollständigen die Besetzung. Dieses Musical kann ganz ohne Instrumente aufgeführt werden. Die Musik kommt von der beiliegenden Playback-CD, zu der gesungen wird. Geübt wird mit dem Klavierauszug oder der mitgelieferten Vollversion. Die Erstausgabe aus dem Jahr 1986 steht weiterhin als Ensemblefassung zur Verfügung (Partitur ED 7403). Sie unterscheidet sich geringfügig von der vorliegenden Fassung. / Choeur
