Jan Dismas Zelenka's Te Deum in D for SATB and Orchestra.Two settings of the Te Deum by Jan Dismas Zelenka have been survived: the Te Deum in D major ZWV 145 of ca. 1724 and the present Te Deum a due cori in D major ZWV 146 which was composed in 1731. Whereas the Te Deum ZWV 145 is scored for five voices (?soli e tutti?) and an orchestra including two trumpets and timpani the setting of the Te Deum a due cori which includes five soloists and two four-part choirs as well as four trumpets and timpani and soloistic flauti traversi is magnificently realized in a more decisive manner. The large solemn scoring suggests that the work was composed for aworship service on the occasion of the birth of the Electoral Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony.

The selections written in a variety of tempos textures and styles span four centuries of keyboard studies and have been chosen for both their expressive and technical content. One example is Little Bird by Grieg which highlights the musicality of written out trills imitating bird calls. These etudes are also a musical resource for intermediate adults who need additional reinforcement in technique. For all pianists Book Six of Expressive Etudes serves equally well as performance repertoire. Includes: Prelude in G Major BWV 902a (Bach); Etude Op. 29 Nos. 7&8 (Bertini); Exercise No. 9a (Brahms); Spirit of Chivalry Op. 100 No. 25 The Storm Op. 109 No. 13 Berceuse OP.109 No. 7 Awakening in the Woods Op. 109 No. 12 (Burgmuller); Study Op. 718 No. 10 (Czerny); Etude Op. 261 No. 125 (Czerny); Maria (Granados); Little Bird Op. 43 No. 4 (Grieg); Etude Op. 47 No. 15 Etude Op. 46 No. 1 Barcarolle Op. 45 No. 8 (Heller); Etude Op. 37 No. 18 (Lemoine); Etude in G Minor Op. 91 No. 10 (Moskowski); The Top Op. 11 No. 2 (Nielsen); Italian Mariner's Song Op. 68 No. 36 (Schumann).
