Ercole Pasquini (1550 ca-ante 1620), working for many years in Ferrara, then Frescobaldi’s predecessor as organist of the Cappella Giulia, leaves a considerable corpus of keyboard music that identify him as a link between Frescobaldi and Naples. It is half a century since the first critical edition of Ercole Pasquinis keyboard music was published (CEKM, vol. 12). This new edition (in two volumes) appears in the light of subsequent scholarship. It offers new solutions for some troublesome passages. It includes a number of pieces that were not included in the previous edition, but which do seem to have been attributed to Pasquini, as well as unattributed pieces which maywell have been by him. It also takes account of a source (ms. Naples 48, dated ca.1600) which has come to light in the intervening years. This manuscript includes a copy of a Canzona by Pasquini that is older and generally superior to the other surviving copies of this piece. The preface contains detailed discussion of the composers biography, the provenance of the sources, and the performance implications of the notation. Both preface and commentary are in English and Italian. Attivo per molti anni in Ferrara, poi predecessore di Frescobaldi come organista della Cappella Giulia, Ercole Pasquini (1550 ca-ante 1620) lascia un consistente corpus di musica per tastiera che si pone come punto di raccordo tra Frescobaldi el’ambiente napoletano.Dopo mezzo secolo dalla pubblicazione della prima edizione critica della sua musica per tastiera (CEKM, vol. 12), il volume che qui si presenta (primo di due) appare alla luce degli studi più recenti e offre nuove soluzioni per alcuni passaggiproblematici. Comprende altresì una serie di pezzi non inclusi nella precedente edizioni, ma ascritti a Pasquini, così come pezzi non attribuiti, ma probabilmente da lui composti. Si tiene conto anche di una fonte (ms. Napoli 48, databile ca 1600),venuta alla luce in anni recenti, particolarmente autorevole nella trasmissione di una Canzona. La prefazione contiene la presentazione dettagliata della biografia del compositore, la provenienza delle fonti e le questioni notazionali in rapporto all’esecuzione. Prefazione e commento sono in italiano e in inglese.

Sally Ann Morris and Adam Tice began working together in 2008, when Sally was asked to compose a few tunes for Adam’s first collection, Woven into Harmony. This initial collaboration was the beginning of what has become a dynamic partnership. In this symbiotic pairing new inspiration emerged, generating contemporary but timeless music where text and tune seamlessly unite.     The a cappella choral writing on “Will You Hold Me in the Light†and “This Is My Body†is so lush and intricate that accompaniment is not necessary, while the poetry of “God Give Me Faith like a Child†and “Breath of God, Breath of Peace†illustrates the innocence and fearlessness essential in our love and trust of God. Stylistically ranging from a cappella choral to Latin jazz, each piece offers a musical and textual sophistication that powerfully conveys themes of journey and longing for God’s guidance.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expres- sions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.†It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina R ossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloriaâ€â€” based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on Highâ€â€”employs the text from the 2010 R evised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies. Contents: Friends in Christ, Rejoice, My Soul Gives Glory, The Advent Herald, Sing We Maranatha, In the Bleak Midwinter, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Still, Still, Still, In the Stillness of the Night, Christmas Gloria, Psalm 96: Christmas Midnight, Song at the Manger, Carol of the Stranger, Lullaby, Little One, Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, I Saw Three Ships, Light in the Darkness.

World premiere Leipzig, 1990 CDCD Wergo 286 295 - 2Eine der grossen Erscheinungen am Beginn jener Epoche welche durch technische Erfindungen das Leben der Menschen auf der ganzen Erde grundlegend verandert hat ist Leonardo da Vinci. Mit entwickeltem naturwissenschaftlichen Denken hat er eingegriffen in diese gewaltigen und gewaltsamen Prozesse. Scharf und energisch hat er - neben seinen kunstlerischen Hervorbringungen und gleichzeitig mit ihnen - Beitrage erbracht zu verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen. Aber schon am Anfang dieser Entwicklung des Denkens und Forschens hat er auch Bedenklichkeiten gesehen und diese in sogenannten ,,Prophezeiungen zusammengestellt: einer unsystematischen Folge von Aphorismen zu mannigfaltigen Erscheinungen menschlicher Wirksamkeiten und Verhaltensweisen. Einige dieser Gedanken habe ich ausgewahlt und als Textvorlage fur eine A-cappella-Vertonung eingerichtet.1.,,Von den Bombarden die aus der Grube und der Grussform kommen: Nachdrucklich und wiederholt von Mal zu Mal auf hoherer Tonstufe wird deklamiert ,,Da wird aus der Erde etwas kommen... 2. ,,Vom Grasmahen: Der Gedanke da Vincis wird gesungen auf die Melodie des Liedes ,,Es ist ein Schnitter heisst der Tod. Der Text dieses alten Totentanzreigens wird in einem daruber liegenden Tonsatz als Kontrafaktur zur alten Melodie deklamiert. 3. ,,Von den Eiern die keine Kucken hervorbringen konnen weil sie gegessen werden: Diese durch Verfremdung gewonnene Haltung gegenuber dem Phanomen Leben wird vom Frauenchor und einer solistischen Frauenstimme gesungen. 4. ,,Von der Grausamkeit des Menschen: Gewaltsamkeiten achtloser Umgang mit der Erde und dem Himmel werden benannt daraus resultierende Verhangnisse aber auch Fragen an die Erde als ein reagierendes Lebewesen werden formuliert.(Siegfried Thiele)
