Handel originally wrote Israel in Egypt in the late 1730s but this the well-known version was not written until twenty years later when he discarded the old one as out-of-date. The 'new' version is a two-act oratorio where the chorus is far more prominent and serves much greater variety of expressive purposes than one finds almost anywhere else in Handel's output. Notably there is extensive use of the double-chorus. It did not take long for this 1756 version of Israel in Egypt to assume a place alongside the Messiah as one of England's favorite choral treasures. Part I tells of the Israelites' deliverance from their Egyptian captivity at the hands of Moses; thetwelve choruses that describe the miracles leading to the Israelites' freedom are among the most stunning and colorful ever written -- images of hailstones pestilence and even the glorious parting of the Red Sea are achieved without once resorting to the kind of pictorialism that a lesser composer would relish. Part II Moses' Song recounts the Israelites' victory. This is the Schirmer Edition of the Vocal Score and hence contains a piano reduction of the original orchestral accompaniment.The full score is also available order code DP16788.

Part of the standard opera repertoire Offenbach?s masterpiece is now also published as a ?G. Schirmer Opera Score Edition? for Voices with Piano accompaniment.A monument to E.T.A. Hoffmann this opera fantastique in three acts prologue and epilogue combines three of his grotesque tales moulded into a creative and provocative dramatic entity. The librettist Jules Barbier and Michel Carré chose Hoffmann as the hero of the famous musical fantasy adding the erratic essence ofthe author himself to the stories. Hoffman becomes the narrator and the main protagonist at the same time as he tells the three stories The Sandman The Lost Reflection in the Mirror and Councillor Krespel of his three loves.In setting the superb libretto to music Offenbach raced against time and finally lost dying only four months before the opening with the manuscript in his hand. The opera was an immediate success and saw 101 nights of performance in its opening year in Paris with subsequent premieres all over the world Geneva Budapest Berlin London New York Mexico Buenos Aires and many more.
