Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio?), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the 'New Bach Edition?.- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature- Based on the 'New Bach Edition?- Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng) / Orchestre

Cantata for the Feast of Visitation B. V. M.-Now My Soul Exalts The Lord BWV 10: Cantata for the Feast of Visitation B. V. M.With his cantata Meine Seel Erhebt Den Herren which Bach composed for the Visitation of Mary (2 July) he created a Magnificat setting of a different kind: The German text source is a combination of biblical text and a free interpretation the basis being the Marian hymn of praise from the Gospel according to Luke. The 9th psalm tone acts as the chorale melody and becomes a recurring musical theme.With a small scoring of one trumpet (which if need be can be omitted) two oboes strings and basso continuo along with four soloists and choir Bach succeeds in writing a festive music of 20-25 minutes.This performing edition is based on the Urtext of the New Bach Edition.

Jon Washburn is known for his creative and sensitive arrangements for the concert hall. This arrangement of the beautiful and famous Piazzolla chamber piece for solo oboe and strings is sure to become a standard for men's choir.

One of the most beautiful of all Bach's melodies is this one taken from the alto aria of the 127th Cantata and was accompanied by string quartet and oboe. As this accompaniment mainly consists of chords held by the strings thisadaptation was fraught with exceptional difficulties and it was only after three months' experiment that the adapter chose this form. Die seele ruht in Jesu händen.

Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 1562-Britten?s arrangements of Schubert?s The Trout (op 32/ D550) for small orchestra and Schumann?s Spring Night (op 39 no 12) for chamber orchestra dating from 1942 are settings of anonymous English translations. The new edition includes the original German words (Schubart Eichendorff) as many performers and audiences will prefer the songs in the original language. In his preface Nicholas Clark Librarian at the Britten-Pears Foundation speculates on why the songs were set in English and on the possibility that the translator was Peter Pears commenting that ?the English language settings allowed [Britten] to edge away from existing versions of the songs toassist him in imprinting his own unique mark on both worksThe Trout is scored for 2 clarinets & strings; Spring Night for flute oboe 2 clarinets bassoon 2 horns 2 trumpets trombone triangle harp (or piano) and strings.

Ed. critica di M. Talbot - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frigé-The present volume contains all three settings by Vivaldi of the Marian antiphon Salve Regina that have come down to us. All three are for solo voice: soprano in the case of RV 617 and contralto in that of RV 616 and RV 618. The last two settings are scored for two instrumental cori and introduce woodwind instruments respectively a flute and a pair of oboes whereas the instrumentation of the first is confined to strings disposed in a single coro although a solo violin is employed in three movements. RV 617 preserved in a non-autograph source in Brno belongs to Vivaldi's first period of sacred music composition at the Pietà (1713-1717) while RV 616 and RV 618 are works of his maturity dating from the years around 1730. RV 617 is laid out in four movements RV 616 and 618 in six movements. All three works are noteworthy for the tenderness of their expression and skilful writing for both the voice and the instruments. The Introduction and Critical Commentary for these vocal scores prepared by Antonio Frigé are closely based on those of the Critical Editions by Michael Talbot published in 1998 1990 and 1994.
