These four splendid anthems were composed for the coronation of George II in October 1727 and have since retained a position at the heart of the English choral tradition. The popular anthem Zadok the Priest has been performed at all subsequent coronations, and Handel's other contributions to the royal occasion - Let thy hand be strengthened, The King shall rejoice, and My heart is inditing - have the same majestic grandeur, with affecting contrasts between different sections of the sacred texts. The editor, Clifford Bartlett, has corrected various inconsistencies in Handel's score, and complete details of sources and editorial method, additional performance notes, and a critical commentary are included.

This piece was commissioned by Matsudo Citizen Wind Orchestra for their 30th anniversary concert and premiered by the band conducted by Kenichiro Hasunuma in July 2009. This piece is typical of Satoshi Yagisawa in that it depicts a magnificent spectacle. This one is set in ancient Egypt and is based on the story depicted in the famous film The Ten Commandments (1956, directed by Cecil B. DeMille). One day Moses, who was raised by the rich royal family, found out that he was originally Hebrew. The Hebrews had been forced to live as slaves. Ramses, the prince directly descended from the Pharaoh, envied Moses' strength and popularity. After internal argument Moses decides todeliver the Hebrew from the Pharaoh's tyranny and escape from Egypt with them.The music starts with brilliant royal fanfare and depicts magnificent architecture, the Hebrew people forced into hard labour, and the slaves escaping from the Pharaoh's tyranny. At the climax they are at crisis point, trapped by the sea. Moses waves his staff and the miracle happens; the sea parts and Hebrew people successfully escape. Following on from Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, this work Moses and Ramses is another piece written in the dramatic style favoured by Satoshi Yagisawa. Het oude testament verhaalt van Mozes die met zijn volk Egypte verlaat, na zijn strijd met de jonge farao Ramses. De film The Ten Commandments uit 1956 is gebaseerd op dit verhaal. Satoshi Yagisawa zette de beelden van dezemonumentale film om in de karakteristiek dramatische stijl die zo eigen is voor de verfilming. De muzikale beelden geven het koninklijke paleis weer, maar ook de architectonische pracht en praal van het oude Egypte. Ook komen deverlossing van de slavernij en de uittocht aan bod. Natuurlijk met als hoogtepunt dat Mozes de zee opent en het volk door de zee uit Egypte leidt. Een fantastisch spektakel!Von Moses, der nach einem Streit mit dem jungen Ramses mit seinem ganzen Volk, Israel, das Land verliess, erzahlt das alte Testament und der darauf basierende Film Die zehn Gebote von 1965. Satoshi Yagisawa setzte die Bilder dieses monumentalen Films in seinem charakteristischen dramatischen Stil um: Die musikalischen Bilder zeigen den Konigshof, die architektonische Pracht des alten Agypten, das versklavte Volk Israel und natürlich die Flucht mit dem Hohepunkt, als Moses das Meer teilt. Ein prachtvolles Spektakel!Mose s and Ramses (Moise et Ramses) est une commande de l'Orchestre d'Harmonie de la ville de Matsudo au Japon, a l'occasion des festivites marquant le trentieme anniversaire de la creation de la formation. La premiere mondiale a eu lieu en juillet 2009. Elle fut assuree par la formation dedicataire, placee sous la direction de Kenichiro Hasunuma. Apres Perseus - A Hero's Quest in the Heavens, Satoshi Yagisawa nous livre une nouvelle œuvre dramatique, flamboyante et epique. L'action se deroule en Egypte ancienne, et suit la chronologie du celebre film biblique Les Dix Commandements (1956), du realisateur americain Cecil B. DeMille. Le jeune Moisegrandit au sein de la riche famille royale egyptienne. Devenu adulte, il decouvre ses origines hebraiques. Or, Pharaon a reduit les Hebreux en esclavage. Le prince Ramses, descendant direct de Pharaon, envie la force et la gloire de Moise. Apres une querelle grave, Moise doit fuir dans le desert. Dans son exil, il decide de delivrer son peuple de la tyrannie de Pharaon et de le mener hors d'Egypte. L'œuvre debute avec une fanfare royale flamboyante qui sonne la grandeur architecturale de l'Egypte. Le peuple d'Israel est condamne a subir les travaux forces ; des esclaves echappent a la tyrannie du Pharaon. Lorsque la musique atteint sa densite maximale, les Hebreux en fuite sont accules devant la mer Rouge. Moise invoque Dieu. Celui-ci lui ordonne de lever son baton au-dessus des eaux de la mer Rouge. Moise obeit et le miracle se produit ; les eaux se divisent en deux pour laisser passer les enfants d'Israel.

This motet for soprano, strings and basso continuo, is the only one by Vivaldi to be preserved outside Italy. It is included in two manuscript collections in London: a set of parts in the Royal College of Music and a score in the British Library. The structure is the conventional one of two arias enclosing a short recitative and followed by a brilliant Alleluia. The incompleteness of the sources (the second evidently copied from the first) is of a rather unusual kind. The existing score comprises a vocal part, an instrumental bass and a first violin part. However, it is clear that there was originally at least one middle part (probably two, to match all the other surviving Vivaldi motets), since the bass part pauses frequently, and on these occasions the first violin part continues as an “upper” voice, not as a bass of the harmony. In the reconstruction, inner parts for second violin and viola have been added by the editor. The task was not difficult, since many passages find close parallels elsewhere in Vivaldi's music. The separate parts include a realization of the continuo by the editor.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was paid three guineas for the publishing rights to his Suite de Pièces by Schott & Co. London on 24 December 1892 when the composer was just 17 years old. In the following year the work was published by Schott Music's German office in versions for both violin with piano and violin with organ. Coleridge-Taylor was born in London and brought up in Croydon. He learnt to play the violin, was recognized as a child prodigy and at 15 was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music with Charles Villiers Stanford, where he was a contemporary of Holst and Vaughan Williams. Coleridge-Taylor described himself Anglo-African and, despite support from his colleagues, faced racism throughout his whole career. In spite of this prejudice and his tragically early death in 1912 aged just 37, he enjoyed great success during his lifetime and his music was performed at the Proms no less than 116 times between 1898 and 1939. In contrast, since 1940 his music has only been heard there on eleven occasions. Like many works, at some point in the past Suite de Pièces became out of print. Schott Music is very proud to present this new modern performing edition of the version for violin and piano. Errors and inconsistencies from the first edition have now been corrected.

Sir Arthur Bliss (1891-1975) was a British composer and conductor. He studied under Wood and Stanford at Cambridge and the Royal College of Music, where he met and drew inspiration from Vaughan Williams, Holst, Howells, and Goossens. He was appointed Master of the Queen's Music in 1953 and wrote music for many state occasions, including the Coronation and the Funeral of Winston Churchill.
The String Quartet No.1 in Bb Major was first published in 1941. It was actually the third String Quartet Bliss composed, but the first two were early works which he withdrew or lost. It was written in America in 1940 and first performed inBerkeley, California; it became the last work he wrote before he returned to Britain to help the war effort.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Papillon for solo piano was first published in 1908 by Augener Ltd. Following George Augener's retirement in 1910, the work along with the whole Augener catalogue (which contained no less than 24 other works by Coleridge-Taylor), was aquired by Schott and Co. Ltd. At the time both companies occupied offices on Great Marlborough Street, London. Coleridge-Taylor was born in London and brought up in Croydon. He learnt to play the violin, was recognised as a child prodigy and at 15 was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music with Charles Villiers Stanford, where he was a contemporary of Holst and Vaughan Williams. Coleridge-Taylor described himself as “Anglo-African” and, despite support from his colleagues, faced racism throughout his whole career. In spite of this prejudice and his tragically early death in 1912 aged just 37, he enjoyed great success during his lifetimeand his music was performed at the Proms no less than 116 times between 1898 and 1939. In contrast, since 1940 his music has only been heard there on thirteen occasions to date. Like many works from this period, at some point in the past Papillon became out of print. Schott Music is now very pleased to present this new modern performing edition with errors and inconsistencies from the original edition now corrected.
