The Dresden Kreuzkantor Gottfried August Homilius belongs to the composers whose works have been rediscovered in recent years. Previously almost forgotten, today he is rightly attracting increasing attention. Celebrated by his contemporaries to be accepted as the best church composer, his works are disseminated in countless copies and also frequently in arrangements. The complete, surviving works were examined for this first, exhaustive thematic catalog of the works of Gottfried August Homilius. Not only every work, but also every individual movement is provided with a music incipit and information concerning scoring, and different versions of a work or surviving versions are presented, as well as a list of all known manuscripts, editions, libretti, new editions and, whenever possible, arranged chronologically and geographically. Thus not only a reliable catalog of the works of the Dresden Kreuzkantor is presented here, but also a good deal on church music tradition and church history in the second half of the 18th century is examined and placed in perspective. The volume includes various tables and indexes which amplify the contents of the catalog and in addition important kantors and copyists from Homilius's era are presented in a lexical appendix.

How vast is Mendelssohn's oeuvre? Most of his approx. 750 compositions were still unpublished in the 1960s. The publication of many early works within the framework of the Complete Edition has been gratefully noted by the musical world. Yet a scholarly, scientific overview of Mendelssohn's works was still missing. He was the last great composer of the 19th century without a complete work catalogue. Ralf Wehner's thematic catalogue closes this gap.It organizes the body of works into 26 groups and assigns each work its own MWV number. Within the groups, the individual pieces are arranged chronologically. Also included in the MWV are all known collective manuscripts and prints, information on works of dubious authenticity and on Mendelssohn's arrangements, as well as his editions of works by other composers. Wehner's work is based on the examination of material and information from more than 1,500 libraries, c. 15,000 auction catalogues and about 12,000 letters. The succinct account of the history of the work, its publication and reception gives the MWV its profile as a compact study edition.An overview on the MWV numbering system you will find on the webiste of the Sachsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig.
