In this new Micromusical adaption the abridged story is told through drama and song.TestimonialsThe micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive.

They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.-Bronwen Chalmers Head Teacher Davies Lane Primary School

Claudio Monteverdi?s Vespro Della Beata Vergine is without doubt one of the most popular sacred works of the 17th century. Apart from the many available recordings it is frequently performed in its entirety or in parts. The Urtext edition of this well-known work has unusual origins. It originated from a graduate seminar at the University of North Texas under the direction of the Monteverdi specialist Hendrik Schulze.The result is an edition which combines the latest in musicological research specifically with the needs of the performer in mind. This has led for instance to a divergent evaluation of the ?Lauda Jerusalem?oriented towards performance practice with numerous additional accidentals and a new interpretation of the melodic variants from the different part books.These new musical and performance practice insights make a modern interpretation of this 400-year-old work possible.- Scholarly-critical Urtext edition orientated towards performance practice- Detailed critical commentary (English) in the full score- Movements 10 13 and 14 are included in their original high clef in the appendix of the full score.- These movements are also available with Piano reduction as copy on request.

The ?Gloria? RV 589 is one of Vivaldi?s most popular compositions today and one of the most regularly performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque era. The work was in all probability composed around 1716 during Vivaldi?s time at the Ospedale della Piet an orphanage for girls in Venice.Although Vivaldi?s ?Gloria? (BA 8953) was written for solo voices and mixed choir it is likely that it was performed at the girls? orphanage with female voices only. Taking this into account Malcolm Bruno?s careful arrangement for choir SSAA is of some relevance. The work when set for female voices or children?s choir remains a true masterpiece.The?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA 8954)for two choirs and two string ensembles as arranged here for female choir displays its own charm. It can be performed together with the Gloria as a type of short mass.Both arrangements are based on the recently published Urtext editions of these works. The piano reductions by editor Malcolm Bruno are easy to play and preserve the character of the works.- Effective arrangements for female choir- Forewords in English and German- Straightforward idiomatic piano reductions- Kyrie and Gloria can be combined for performanceThe orchestral parts for the original SATB version can be used for the performance of these arrangements.

Op. 38. Par ELGAR EDWARD. This is the best of me, wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar?s moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God. Before the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at him briefly, then faces the purgatorial fire of salvation confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the Angel, and the three impressive solo parts. All previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. For this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts. The full score is also available digitally. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Solistes, Ch?ur SATB et Orchestre

Oratorium. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829. He integrated chorale settings into St. Paul, for which he was accused by his contemporaries of making a stylistic break, using an element unsuitable to church music. In spite of these reservations, during Mendelssohn’s lifetime St. Paul was one of his most popular works, which received numerous performances throughout Europe. Robert Schuman praised the “inextinguishable color of the instrumentation” and the “brilliant play with all the forms of composition. ” He described it as a “jewel of the present. ” / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
