for Tenor Alto Three Female Voices and Piano-Janácek?s intimate chamber-music drama about the passionate love of a simple farm boy for a beautiful gypsy girl is one of his great vocal masterpieces.This cycle of 22 songs for tenor (an alto and three female voices are added in three numbers) was composed on a setting of poems that were published anonymously. It was not until 80 years later that their author was identified as the regional poet and writer Ozef Kalda.The cycle also contains theatrical elements such as the alto entrance and exit cues and lighting effects. Composed in 1917-19 the ?Diary? was premièred in Brno in 1921 from a manuscript prepared by Gustav Homola.The same manuscriptserved as a basis for the first edition which was issued by the Brno publisher Oldrich Pazd rek in 1921 as well as for this current first Urtext edition.First Urtext edition with a detailed Foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editorSinging translations in German (by Max Brod) and English (by Bernard Keefe)Numbers IX to XI which include the alto and three female voices also available online

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.

On the one hand, more and more choirs are lacking in male voices, yet at the same time, more and more female choirs are looking for high-quality literature beyond folksong arrangements. Bärenreiter is responding to these general trends with the publication of arrangements for three-part female choir (SMA) of well-known, frequently-performed works.The first editions to be published are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s ?Coronation Mass? K. 317 (BA 5691), a much-performed work within the standard repertoire and the ?Missa brevis in D major? K. 194 (BA 5690-90), a charming alternative for use in church services. With great skill and sensitivity to the music, Heribert Breuer has carefully retained the substance of the original works, at the same time giving them a completely new sound quality.- Arrangements for female choir (SMA) based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?- Idiomatic piano reductionsThe arrangerHeribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie, and has made a name for himself with his numerous arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.
