Wagner's 'Lohengrin' is described as a 'great romantic opera' in which Wagner opens up two completely different worlds for the listener. On the one hand, there is the mystical world of the Knight of the Grail which could be described as embodiment of the Christian element in 'Lohengrin', and on the other hand, there is the opposing magical world of Ortrud. Wagner had studied the origins of the medieval legend of the Knight of the Swan intensively for years, with Wolfram von Eschenbach's work certainly being the best source for Wagner's libretto.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

With the publication of Volume 11 in November 1999, Werner Breigs fundamentally new scholarly concept of Richard Wagners complete letters begins to make itself felt more strongly. The meticulously annotated volumes are illustrated with facsimiles and little known photos. Further enhancing the value of this edition are a number of letters, which were hitherto practically unavailable and are published here for the first time. The commentaries are based on many previously unpublished documents.
Concerning Volume 10 (published one year later than Volume 11) we have obtained the following fax by the English Wagner expert Stewart Spencer, who wittily praises Werner Breig's fundamental new concept:
There is a general problem of reviewing such magnificent volumes. They are the yardstick by which all other writings on Wagner will be judged. It is like sending someone to inspect the standard metre rule in Paris and asking them to review it. All one can say is that it exists and that it is in a class of its own. I'd like to congratulate you on its publication and thank you most warmly for picking up this edition. (Stewart Spencer, October 11, 2000)

Rienzi remains one of the most popular works from the ?master of romantic opera?, Richard Wagner. The Friedensmarsch from the fourth act (scene 2) of Rienzi is subdued and solemn in character: in the sounds of this march, Rienzi strides to a stately church service. This is sure to be a very popular addition to any performance and is one not to be missed. Rienzi is een vroeg werk van Wagner: deze opera behoort zeker niet tot zijn bekendste werken. Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen - zoals de volledige titel luidt - werd door tijdgenoten enthousiast ontvangen. Er zijn inde partituur voldoende elementen te vinden die dit kunnen verklaren: processies, marsen, gevechten, lofzangen, goed in het gehoor liggende ensembles, een grootschalig ballet, klokgelui, veelvuldige trompetsignalen, enzovoort. DeFriedensmarsch uit de vierde akte (scène 2) van Rienzi is ingetogen, statig en gedragen van karakter: Rienzi schrijdt op de klanken van deze mars naar een plechtige dienst in de kerk.Entdecken Sie Wagner neu mit Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen, einer Oper, die heute nicht mehr zu den bekanntesten Werken Richard Wagners zählt, aber seinerzeit sehr gut beim Publikum ankam. Das war auf zahlreiche Elemente des Werkes zurückzuführen: Prozessionen, Märsche, Schlachten, Hymnen, ein großes Ballett, Glockengeläut, Trompetensignale und vieles mehr. Wil van der Beek wählte sich den eher gedämpften, ruhigen Friedensmarsch aus dem vierten Akt von Rienzi für diese attraktive Blasorchesterbearbeitung aus.Richard Wagner est un compositeur unique dans l’histoire. Il enrichit l’harmonie d’agrégations jusqu’alors inusitées, ses orchestrations sont différentes de celles de ses contemporains, ses mélodies semblent infinies, les leitmotiv naissent avec fluidité et ses thèmes d’opéras sont en rupture avec les courants de l’époque. Rienzi (1840) est une oeuvre de jeunesse qui contient en germe tous ces éléments innovateurs. Friedensmarsch est une marche la fois sombre et majestueuse extraite de l’Acte IV, scène 2 de l’opéra.Richard Wagner è un compositore unico: arricchisce l’armonia di aggregazioni fino ad allora non utilizzate, le sue orchestrazioni sono diverse da quelle dei suoi contemporanei, le sue melodie sembrano infinite, i leitmotif nascono con fluidit e i temi delle sue opere sono in rottura con le correnti dell’epoca. Rienzi (1840) è un’opera che contiene tutti questi elementi innovatori. Friedensmarsch è una marcia cupa, ma allo stesso tempo maestosa, estratta dall’Atto IV, scena 2 dell’opera.

There is a dearth of short, romantic trumpet pieces of intermediate grade that challenge and inspire players who already feel secure both in their technique and powers of interpretation. The reissue of Legend by R. Orlando Morgan (1865-1956) will therefore be greatly welcomed, as music enriched by the passionate harmonies of Tchaikovsky and even of Wagner, in an idiom that is graceful and sure. Though largely forgotten, the composer was one of many whose artful command of classical styles earned them respect in their lifetimes, neglect thereafter on account of changing fashions and now, with yet another swing of the pendulum of taste, the chance for re-evaluation today.

This celebrated song is based on a poem by Julie Hausmann (1826-1901), a Latvian teacher who was probably blind. The text draws on her personal experience and unshakeable faith in God, death and eternal life. The melody by Friedrich Silcher is written in a simple and delicate style but also draws on the grand romantic tradition of Wagner and Bruckner. This arrangement can also be performed with a mixed choir. The choir parts are in German. Der Komponist Jacob de Haan hat sich mit dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester eines bekannten und beliebten Kirchenliedes angenommen. Der Inhalt des Liedes - blindes Gottvertrauen, das ewige Leben und ein Leben zu zweit - lassen eine Verwendung bei vielen kirchlichen Anlässen zu. Bezaubern Sie Ihre Zuhörer mit der stimmungsvollen Bearbeitung dieser schlichten, aber ergreifenden Melodie!
