This work drew its inspiration from the famous picture of the Virgin Mary 'Gnadenbild Mariahilf' (1537) by Lucas Cranach the Elder which shows Mary as a woman of delicate beauty and modest sensuality without the usual attributes of the Virgin Mary. The work for oboe and organ was premiered in Kronach, where Lucas Cranach was born, in March 2017. It is also available in a version for solo organ (Schott, ED 22844).

Naji Hakim, born in Beirut in 1955, studied with Jean Langlais and Rolande Falcinelli and is one of the leading organ composers of today. His cycle of variations on the chorale 'Wie schon leucht uns der Morgenstern' was commissioned by 'Freunde der Musik am Liebfrauenmunster, Ingolstadt' and premiered by him on 14 September 2008 together with the oboist Georgi Kobulashwili. As is always the case in Naji Hakim's works, formal brilliance and elegant melody are combined with a sense of the individual tonal possibilities of the respective instrument. Concert piece of 8 minutes' duration.

Brahms's Ave Maria was composed in 1858. The widely-held opinions in the literature on Brahms - that the work has justifiably been forgotten, the part-writing is monotonous and the style and diction is ponderous - don't do justice to a truly charming piece, based on folksong-like models. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4018000.

Anton Bruckner's Te Deum - a high point in the composer's output and one of the most important works of the sacred choral repertoire in the 19th century - is now available in a modern, scholarly edition. The Carus edition draws on both the two sources regarded as important, the autograph score and the first printed edition, with careful consideration given to variant readings. And so a music text has been prepared which reflects the composer's intentions as closely as possible. Great emphasis has been placed on a clear-to-read layout of the full score pages, as well as excellent legibility for the parts, which are available on sale. With current performance practice in mind, the clarinet parts are notated in B flat instead of A, corresponding with the first printed edition. The vocal score has been newly prepared to reflect current practical requirements. As an economical alternative, a chorus score is available. Bruckner's Te Deum is also available in carus music, the choir app. The app contains the music and a recording, as well as a coach to help with learning each choral part. In preparation: arrangement of the Te Deum for soli, choir, brass quintet and organ. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.2719000.

A good six years following its first performance in Milan (1773) a second version of Exsultate, jubilate was completed for a performance on Trinity Sunday in 1779. It has survived in a manuscript from Salzburg. This Salzburg version, which was discovered in 1978, differs from the Milan version primarily through the use of flutes instead of oboes and also through the use of two different texts for the first aria. In the first version the text refers to Christmas, whereas in the second version it refers to the festival of Trinity. Mozart's autograph of the Milan version had been thought to be missing since the second world war and it has only been accessible in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Krakow for a little over a decade. The present new critical edition by Wolfgang Hochstein is the first which could be based on both versions. Score available separately - see item CA.4076700.

Der Lobgesang Marias, den uns Lukas im ersten Kapitel seines Evangeliums überliefert hat, wird nach dem ersten Wort seines lateinischen Textes Magnificat genannt. Als biblisches Zeugnis wurde er auch von Martin Luther hoch geschätzt. In der evangelischen Agenda wie auch in der katholischen Liturgie wird er besonders in der Adventszeit gepflegt, kündet er doch von der Erwählung Marias als der Mutter Jesu Christi, des Sohnes Gottes. Seine Geburt feiert die Christenheit zu Weihnachten. Die Komposition des bekannten Textes wird hier musikalisch in größerer Form dargeboten. Zwei hohe Singstimmen - idealerweise Sopran und Tenor - werden von der Orgel sowie zwei weiteren Blasinstrumenten - Flöte und Oboe - begleitet und ergänzt. Der freien Verwendung in Gottesdienst, geistlicher Abendmusik oder Konzert sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. (Lothar Graap).

The cantata Sei Lob und Ehr dem hochsten Gut (All glory to the Lord of Lords) BWV 117 is one of a small group of Bach's chorale cantatas which use exclusively the text of the chorale, including in the three recitatives and three arias. Only the autograph score of the cantata survives; although this enables an approximate dating to be made (c. 1730), it does not give the occasion for which the cantata was written. The choice of chorale may indicate it was composed for a wedding. Recently it has been suggested that the occasion for its composition was the birthday of the Duke of Weissenfels in 1731; but there is no firm evidence to support either theory. The cantata opens with an extended movement for chorus in which Bach contrasts the concertante orchestra with festive, almost homophonic choral writing. This chorus movement is repeated at the end. A simple chorale movement which comes fourth indicates that the nine-movement cantata was performed in two sections. Score available separately - see item CA.3111700.
