Fantasia for piano, choir and orchestra

SKU: CA.1039400

ISBN M-007-18767-5. Key: C minor. German/English. Text: Christoph Kuffner.

In a mixture of cantata and concert piece, Beethoven set a hymn to art in his Choral Fantasy. The work, about 20 minutes in length, is often seen as a precursor to the Ode to Joy in the 9th Symphony. After a piano introduction, a dialog between piano and orchestra develops in the space of just 400 measures, before the soloists and chorus enter for the last 200 measures. (If necessary, the solo parts can be sung by members of the chorus or a semi-chorus.) In the main section, headed Finale (beginning with the double basses and celli), the theme from Beethoven's early song Gegenliebe (WoO 118, also used in the Ode to Joy) is presented, varied and finally used in the March in F major. The main source of the Choral Fantasia for the edition is the first edition of the parts, published in 1811 and corrected by Beethoven; alongside this an English edition of the parts published by Clementi (1810) has been consulted for comparison. The edition contains an English singing version in a translation by Natalia Macfarren from the 19th century.

Peter Benoit was born at Harlebeke on 17 August 1834 and died in Antwerp on 8 March 1901. He was, without doubt, the most important Flemish composer of the nineteenth century, responsible for the foundation of a Flemish national school of music. He studied at the Brussels Conservatory, where his teachers included Fétis, and won the Grote Rome Prize, the highest musical distinction in Belgium. He made use of the money from the prize for a study tour through Germany and Bohemia and afterwards settled in Paris where, in 1862, he became conductor of the Buffes-Parisiens. The following year he returned to Brussels and achieved phenomenal success with his Quadrilogie religieuse for choir and orchestra and with the oratorio of 1866, Lucifer. From then onwards he laid aside instrumental music and concentrated almost exclusively on vocal and choral music with Flemish texts. In 1867 he settled in Antwerp, where he was appointed director of the local music school, which under his leadership became the Royal Flemish Music Conservatory. In addition to his activity as a composer, he proved himself to be a remarkable educator, conductor and music administrator.

All conducting scores and orchestral parts as well as piano-vocal scores and choral parts are thus obtainable exclusively from Breitkopf & Hartel. The piano reductions of Beethoven's solo concertos and the study scores (,,Studien-Editionen) remain within the G. Henle Verlag and can be ordered there.

Ludwig van Beethoven komponierte seine Missa solemnis zwischen 1819 und 1822.

Die vorliegende Ausgabe legt als Hauptquelle die Arbeitskopie der Partitur zugrunde die Beethoven wohl unmittelbar nach Fertigstellung der Komposition in Auftrag gab. Sie ist die alteste Abschrift des Werks und die einzige Kopie die das heute unvollstandige Autograph zur Vorlage hatte. Da die Arbeitskopie im Zuge des weiteren Kopierens immer wieder selbst revidiert und korrigiert wurde kommt sie heute einer Fassung letzter Hand am nachsten.

Beethovens komplexe Veroffentlichungsstrategie einer gleichzeitigen Herausgabe in England Frankreich und Deutschland bei der er nach der grosstmoglichen Verbreitung seiner Werke trachtete wirft die schwierige Frage nach der richtigen Datierung der Originalausgabe auf.

So konnte Hans-Werner Kuthen bei seiner Urtextausgabe der Ouverture zu Coriolan nachweisen dass es sich bei der ursprunglich als authentisch bewerteten Quelle vom 1. September 1807 doch um einen Nachdruck Simrocks handelt den Beethoven in einem Brief vom 16. Juni 1807 offensichtlich als ein toleriertes Relikt erwahnt. Verbindlich fur die Neuausgabe ist allein der Wiener Originaldruck des Industriekontors der vor der Simrock-Ausgabe entstanden sein muss. Die Neubewertung der Quellen brachte schliesslich auch Anderungen in der Artikulation mit sich.

Song cycle in Ladino for mezzo-soprano and piano.
The song cycle Sarina kanta is sung in Ladino and was inspired by Sephardic folk songs. Various folk songs are quoted in the work. The first movement is a fantasia based on a poem by Avner Perez, Sarina kanta romansas, (Sarina sings romances). Sarina is Perez' grandmother, whose memory is recalled in this cycle of poems. The remaining movements are based on songs from the Ladino repertoire. Sarina kanta is also published for soprano and piano, and in the original version for mezzo-soprano and string orchestra.
Contents:
Sarina kanta
Una matika de ruda
Ya abasha la novia
La Estreyas
Ya salio de la mar
