Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus La clemenza di Tito K. 621 Facsimile of Mozart's autograph score The Seven Great Operas in Facsimile Editions of Mozart?s Autograph Scores ?Idomeneo?, ?Die Entführung aus dem Serail?, ?Le nozze di Figaro?, ?Don Giovanni?, ? Così fan tutte ?, ?Die Zauberflöte ?, ?La clemenza di Tito? ? Mozart?s seven great operas, his brilliant contribution to music theatre and world culture, are unequalled in their depth of human characterisation and musical expression. Through happy coincidence, all seven opera scores have survived almost complete in Mozart?s manuscript. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI, Los Altos , California ) has now embarked on producing a facsimile edition of the seven autograph scores. Mozart scholars, libraries and of course all lovers of Mozart?s stage works now have the opportunity of acquiring these priceless manuscripts in flawless reproductions. At the same time, all risks about preserving Mozart?s legacy for the world of music are taken care of. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) charitable foundation, known for its philanthropic programmes in the arts and sciences, has forged an ideal cooperation for the Mozart project. Under the scholarly direction of an editorial board (Ulrich Konrad , David Packard, Wolfgang Rehm , Christoph Wolff; General editor Dietrich Berke) the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg and the libraries where Mozart?s manuscripts are held are working together with the Packard Humanities Institute. The production of the volumes is exquisite, for the digitalization of the manuscripts has been undertaken using the latest technology, which allows for an astounding level of authenticity and precision in detail. The printing follows the uncompromisingly high standards demanded by the edition. All seven volumes include essays on the history of literature and ideas by Hendrik Birus , Hans Joachim Kreutzer and Robert Miller as well as musicological introductions by leading Mozart scholars in German and English. The facsimile edition will be distributed by Bärenreiter- Verlag . - consolidation of Mozart manuscripts held in different places - highest level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour through use of the latest technology - unique offer thanks to project sponsorship by the Packard Humanities Institute (Los Altos, California) Precision in reproduction thanks to cutting edge technology In preparing the manuscripts for reproduction, equipment was used in line with the highest technical standards currently available. Mozart?s original manuscripts of the seven operas are held by several libraries. For five of the operas, the different acts have even ended up in different libraries following World War II. Thus, the autograph of Act I of ? Così fan tutte ? is in the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków and the second act in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ? Preußischer Kulturbesitz . In order to achieve a uniformly high level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour both within a work and for all seven editions, the use of the same technical equipment in all the different places was a prerequisite. Specialist from the Salzburg firm ? Kirchberger Photography? were employed, were provided with the latest equipment by the Packard Humanities Institute and also given special additional training in the modern technology by specialists in the USA. Proofs of each edition were compared with the original in each location and improved until the likeness could not be bettered in all details. Mozart?s music and text notation is reproduced extremely clearly, and even those places where Mozart corrected or had rubbed out marks he had already made, appear in these editions in a previously unmatched transparency.

Per Nørgård's Symphony No. 4 (1981) - Indischer Roosengaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee (Indian Rose Garden and Chinese Witch See). Programme Note: This symphony in two movements entitles “Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee” was inspired by Adolf Wölfli’s works - consisting of 20.000 pages of prose poetry and pictures -. An English translation of the title would read: “Symphony no. 4 - Indian Rose Garden and Chinese Witch See; after an idea by Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930) and dedicated to him.”  Wölfli was from 1895 (31 yearsold) until his death in 1930 confined to the mental hospital at Waldau near Bern Switzerland. Although he had no technical knowledge of music he considered himself to be a great composer and his paintings were almost always covered with long festoons of six-lined (!) music staffs. In 1912 Wölfli ordered paints and paper for a planned ´Musikbüchlein´ which was to be published in 1920 under the title “Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee”. (Wölfi uses his characteristic illustrative phonetic spellings with double vowels). The work was never completed and I took it upon myself to realize Wölfli’s idea according to his vision but of course within my own preconditions.  The double and suggestive title is typical of Wölfli´s polarized conception of the world which shifts between idyll and catastrophe. This polarization is of almost Chinese nature in that no idyll exists without catastrophic disturbances just as there is a black “spot” in the white “fish” and vice versa in the famous Yin/Yang symbol.  One might explain this idea with a quote by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun: “A prisoner on his tumbrel is wheeled to the scaffold. A nail chafes at his behind; he moves over and feels more

Ouvertüre. Autograph: Biblioteka Jagiellonska Kraków-An enchanted night virtually fragrant dreams floating fairies – the sensory associations evoked and fashioned by the music of Mendelssohn’s overture “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” are almost inexhaustible.Written by the composer in 1826 in a carefree summer spent between the summerhouse and his siblings this is without doubt Mendelssohn’s most popular concert overture.The renowned musicologist Friedhelm Krummacher shows in the introduction how finely Mendelssohn interwove motifs and themes. He also looks into the origins of the work especially a conjectural firstsketch which is reproduced in facsimile in the appendix.To mark the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn’s birth B?renreiter in cooperation with the Biblioteka Jagiellonska Krak?w published a high-quality facsimile designed for the bibliophile vividly bringing the composer’s delicate handwriting to life.

A superb set of selections from one of the longest running Broadway shows in history A Chorus Line. The music for this 1975 hit show was composed by Marvin Hamlisch and these faithful full orchestra arrangements by Robert W. Lowden are suitable for players at Grades 3-4.

Studienpartitur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Premièred at the Vienna Hoftheater on 1 May 1786, Wolfang Amadeus Mozart?s and Lorenzo Da Ponte?s Le nozze di Figaro may be safely regarded as one of the greatest operatic successes of all times. Yet its success was not entirely due to Mozart?s music: on the contrary, because of the extraordinary demands it placed on the orchestra (especially the woodwinds), the music even posed an obstacle to the work?s spread outside the German-speaking countries. At least equally responsible for the opera?s success was the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, who managed to transform a topical and socio-critical stage play into an opera libretto as effective as it isamusing. Many of the sources for Mozart?s first opera from the Lorenzo Da Ponte trilogy only became available to scholars again after the ?New Mozart Edition? volume was published. These include the autograph scores of acts 3 and 4, now held at the Biblioteka Jagiello ka in Kraków, significant portions of the original sets of parts and acts 2 to 4 of the conductor?s copy from the first performance of 1786. These original sources, now available again, offer compelling solutions to several previously unresolved questions. Edition based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? reflecting the latest musicological research With findings from original sources now available again Detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) Full score (BA4565-01), Vocal score (BA4565-92), study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm

Musique de scène-“An enchanted dream” – these words from poet Charles Van Leberghe give an idea of the public’s enthusiasm for the first English language performance on June 21 1898 of Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist play. Staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre the play was translated by Jack W. Mackail with stage music composed by Gabriel Fauré. Occupied by various administrative tasks the composer asked his favourite student Charles Koechlin to orchestrate the score in May 1898. The London theatre’s limited instrumental staff corresponded perfectly to the apprentice musician’s ideals of clarity and transparency.Established by Roger Nichols and Otfrid Nies this trilingual edition (French – English – German) is based on signed manuscripts and distinguishes itself through a 60-page critical commentary that precisely retraces the birth of the work. The book presents for the first time the complete incidental music written for the London premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande with the aim of staying true to Koechlin’s original annotated version. Koechlin’s orchestration is equal to the work: a model of clarity and refinement.

The Light is a portrait in music of the scientists Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley and their studies of the velocity of light through their memorable experiments which concluded at Case Western Reserve University Cleveland Ohio 1887. This is the full orchestral score of Philip Glass’ work composed in 1987.

Mon Concerto pour orchestre (2007) est une oeuvre de vingt minutes dans laquelle les différentes sections de l'orchestre, ainsi que différents solos et duos du sein de l'orchestre, sont mis en évidence que la musique se déploie. Le travail continue mon intérêt pour les formes à deux mouvement qui a commencé avec mon Concerto pour violoncelle (1991), et plus tard a été développé dans Sortilège (1996) et la Symphonie (Broken Consort) (2004). Dans ces oeuvres, et dans le Concerto pour orchestre, chaque mouvement est le même poids et de l'importance avec le second développement de matériel plus tôt et prendre de nouvelles directions.La forme en deux mouvements du Concerto pour orchestre vient d'une structure symphonique sonate, remodeler la forme en quatre mouvements traditionnels et en combinant cela avec les aspects de la forme sonate, une tradition qui remonte à Liszt, Schoenberg et Sibelius:1er mouvement (i) l'exposition d'idées - dramatique et soudaine (ii) scherzo et développement 1 - résolue2ème mouvement (iii) adagio - calme et tranquille (iv) le développement 2 avec récapitulation - intense et énergiqueLe Concerto pour orchestre a été commandée par le Musikalische Akademie des Nationaltheatre-Orchesters Mannheim avec le soutien de Die Landesbank Baden-Württemberg pour ses deux premières représentations le 31 Mars et 1er Avril 2008 réalisée par Friedemann Layer.

Eine verzauberte Nacht, nahezu duftende Traumbilder, schwebende Elfen ? schier unerschöpflich sind die sinnlichen Assoziationen, die die Musik von Mendelssohns Ouvertüre Ein Sommernachtstraum wachruft und plastisch gestaltet, ohne in einer allzu plakativen Illustration aufzugehen. Vom Komponisten 1826 in einem unbeschwerten Sommer zwischen Gartenhaus und Geschwistern geschrieben, handelt es sich zweifellos um die populärste der Konzertouvertüren Mendelssohns.

Der renommierte Musikwissenschaftler Friedhelm Krummacher zeigt in der Einleitung, wie fein Mendelssohn die Motive und Themen miteinander verwoben hat. Er geht außerdem der Entstehung des Werkes nach, insbesondere einem mutmaßlichen ersten Entwurf, der als Faksimile im Anhang wiedergegeben ist.

Zu Mendelssohns 200. Geburtstag (2009) legt der Bärenreiter-Verlag in Zusammenarbeit mit der Biblioteka Jagiello ska Kraków dieses hochwertige Faksimile in bibliophiler Ausstattung vor, das in anschaulicher Weise die feingliedrige Handschrift des Komponisten präsentiert.

?Das ist nicht nur ein Augenschmaus, sondern verrät darüber hinaus auch viel über die Entstehungsgeschichte des Weks , das uns auch heute noch ? und nicht nur in lauen Sommernächten ? so viel Freude bereitet.?

Liederzyklus Nach Brieftexten V. W.A. Mozart Für Bariton und Orchester. Par SCHMIDINGER HELMUT. Der Komponist und Musikus Mozart scheint mir als Bezugspunkt im 21. Jahrhundert und besonders im Mozartjahr 2006 doch sehr „ausgebeutet“. So habe ich mich nach der Lektüre sämtlicher seiner Briefe entschlossen, den unter Komponisten bisher weitgehend unbeachteten Briefeschreiber Mozart, der mehr als die viel zitierten „Bäsle-Briefe“ verfasst hat, als Textquelle für einen Liederzyklus zu verwenden.
