The anniversary edition for all choirs! With their extensive forces and complex parts, the performance of Beethoven's choral-symphonic works is hugely demanding for many choirs. For the major Beethoven anniversary in 2020 Carus is therefore expanding the repertoire of works available for mixed choirs. The Choral Collection Beethoven (ed. Jan Schumacher) contains especially attractive arrangements of Beethoven's music from three centuries. Contents include the choral-symphonic repertoire in versions with piano accompaniment, some lesser-known unaccompanied works, and some seldom-performed works, such as pieces from his incidental music. During his lifetime Beethoven was so admired that contemporaries arranged his music - mainly the well-known instrumental works - for chorus. Some of these choral works were even performed at Beethoven's own funeral. Subsequent generations of composers have also immersed themselves in Beethoven's output. In addition, for the anniversary Carus has commissioned choral arrangements of Beethoven's works from several contemporary composers. The Choral Collection Beethoven contains around 40 secular and sacred choral movements in a wide range of styles. Editor Jan Schumacher has created an indispensable resource with the Beethoven Choral Collection, particularly for amateur choirs, but the edition is also suitable for vocal ensembles and chamber choirs. Guaranteed enjoyment of Beethoven's music well beyond the anniversary year. * 41 choral settings for SATB, some with piano accompaniment * well within the capabilities of amateur choirs * suitable for concerts, church services, and many social occasions * also contains arrangements of Beethoven's vocal and instrumental works from three centuries, by composers including Gottlieb Benedict Bierey, Heribert Breuer, Peter Cornelius, Gunnar Eriksson, Gunther Martin Gottsche, Clytus Gottwald, John Hoybye, Hans Georg Nageli, Peter Schindler, Ignaz Ritter von Seyfried, Friedrich Silcher, and many others * CD with selected works included with the conductor's score (Deutscher Jugendkammerchor, conducted by Florian Benfer) * economical choral edition (editionchor) available Contents (selection) * Choruses and canons: Auld Lang Syne, Gluck zum neuen Jahr, and Das Reden / Schweigen and many more. * Historic arrangements for chorus, including from the Moonlight Sonata, the Appassionata, the 7th Symphony, and many other works. * New arrangements for chorus, including the songs Bitten, Ich liebe dich, Marmotte, and many others. * Arrangements for chorus and piano, including the choral movements from the Choral Fantasia, the oratorio Christus am Olberge and the incidental music Die Ruinen von Athen, and the finale of the 9th Symphony.

Warum gerade ein Orchester-Liederzyklus nach Celan-Gedichten zum Beethoven-Jubilaum 2002? Was verbindet die humanistischen Ideen des genialen Klassikers mit dem gespaltenen Menschenbild eines der bedeutendsten Lyriker des 20. Jahrhunderts? Vielleicht die Gestaltung des Aussergewohnlichen in Wort und Ton? - oder die innere Einsamkeit des grossen Kunstlertums? Der mir zum diesjahrigen Bonner Beethovenfest gegebene Kompositionsauftrag war an kein bestimmtes Thema gebunden. Beim Nachdenken uber einen sinnvollen Beitrag mit Beethoven-Bezug erinnerte ich mich an mein 1967 komponiertes Werk Mit wechselndem Schlussel , Lieder nach Paul Celan fur Bariton und Klavier (aus Celans Gedichtbanden ,,Mohn und ,,Gedachtnis und ,,Von Schwelle zu Schwelle), entstanden wahrend einer sehr progressiven Schaffensperiode, inspiriert von Versen, die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart poetisch verschlusselt miteinander verknupfen. Langer schon plante ich, diesen Zyklus zu orchestrieren - das schien mir jetzt der geeignete Ansatz zur Erfullung meines Auftrags, denn ich wollte zugleich das Werk formal anders gestalten, die sieben einzelnen Gesange unter einem grossen symphonischen Bogen zusammenfassen. So entstand ein ganz neues Opus - eine Art Solo-Kantate fur Singstimme und Orchester - durchaus im Beethovenschen Sinn und Geist, da ich mich wahrend der Ausarbeitung der neuen Fassung von Kompositions- und Instrumentations-Ideen und -Prozessen aus Beethoven-Symphonien anregen liess. So zum Beispiel bei der Durchfuhrung von charakteristischen Motiven und Strukturen: im Prolog und im ersten Lied (Kristall), oder bei der Gestaltung dramatischer Bewegungsablaufe - etwa im vierten Lied (In Gestalt eines Ebers), bei der Darstellung kammermusikalisch-lyrischer Stimmungen im funften Lied (Nachts) und bei titanischen Klangausbruchen im Schlussgesang (An den langen Tischen der Zeit), schliesslich bei der formalen Gliederung des ganzen Werks in funf symmetrisch angeordnete, grossere Satze. Fazit: ein Beitrag zur Synthese von zeitgenossischer Lyrik und Musik im Geiste Beethovens.

The history of the origins and sources of Beethovens Choral Phantasy is complex and poses considerable difficulties to todays researchers. A definitive final version is not extant. Instead, there are contemporary printed editions which diverge from each other in many details. The English musicologist Clive Brown thus also based part of his text-critical work on his comprehensive knowledge of the performance and notation practice of Beethovens time.Fur Orchester, die gelegentlich mit einem Chor zusammenarbeiten, auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Ein gerade in seiner Einmaligkeit interessantes Stuck - und auch nicht besonders schwer. Verwiesen sei noch auf das vorzugliche Vorwort des Herausgebers. (Plischke, Das Liebhaberorchester).
