Scripture becomes song in this Hebrews-based anthem that includes words from Charles Wesley. The melody begins simply rising as if reaching to a great truth. With the words Faith is being sure of what we hope for. Faith is the proof of things we do not see we begin the search. Unison is used for clarity of text thickening in the refrain which incorporates the Wesley hymn Let Us Live by Faith Alone. Because of the foundational theology presented and the final verse's affirmation of the church's mission and destiny this would be an excellent choice for church anniversaries.

Cette anthologie est le fruit de la collaboration avec le DiDonato la mezzo-soprano Joyce qui avait exprimé le souhait d'enregistrer un CD avec mon ensemble' Il Complesso Barocco '. Il ne doit pas être simplement une autre compilation d'airs célèbres de Haendel ou Vivaldi, mais une collection de pièces de styles très différents et à des époques différentes qui sont liées par un thème commun préséance. (...) J'ai fait remarquer à elle que il y avait beaucoup d'airs magnifiques et des scènes entières, même en solo qui avait été chanté sur la scène baroque à la fois par les chanteuses et les castrats jouer les parties de dirigeants historiques célèbres femmes et des héroïnes. En proposant le titre 'Drama Queens', elle réduit le tout à une formule contemporaine. Notre idée était de cultiver les extrêmes, pour recueillir des airs qui montrent plus grand que la vie émotions.- Alan Curtis, / Mezzo-Soprano Et Piano

Friedensode-Although presumably written to celebrate the Queen's birthday on 6 February most probably in 1713 there is no record of the first performance of Handel's Ode. The nine movements contain much variety but it is the first movement 'Eternal source of light divine' where Handel prodces some of his most inspired writing. - Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition - Full score (BA4007) and vocal score (BA400790) available for sale - Performance material (BA400772) available for hire

Tragédie-opéra Drame héroïque en trois actes-Christoph Willibald Gluck's most popular opera 'Orphée et Euridice' was performed in 1774 in Paris to sensational success. This new adaption followed the original Viennese version with Italian text that was first performed in 1762 under the direction of the composer in the Burgtheater. For the Paris version Gluck changed the leading part Orpheus from an alto to a tenor role and composed new recitatives.Both versions of Gluck's reform drama are based on a libretto by Ranieri de' Calzabigi and revolutionised metastasian opera of the 18th century. Solo and choral music instrumental music pantomime and dance are all closely connected; the myth replaces a historical plotsurrounded by intrigue; where there would have been a da-capo aria there are now simple song forms and coloratura is largely abandoned. These meticulously revised vocal scores of both versions are also newly set.Urtext editions based on 'Gluck The Complete Works'Revised and newly setThe revised editions are compatible with the old editionsT48Full score (BA2282-01) and vocal score (BA2282-90) available for salePerformance material (BA2282-72) available for hire
