Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The publication of the new Urtext edition of Water Music makes the work available in a revised edition reflecting the latest research findings. In October 2004, the editor Terence Best found the oldest surviving manuscript score in the archives of the Royal Society of Musicians in London – primary source A, which can be dated to 1718. This discovery demands a dramatic reappraisal of what is probably Handel ’s most famous work. Until this find, the theory formulated by Barrett Lennard in 1950 was regarded as authoritative. He divided the material into three suites according to key and instrumentation. This was based on the fact that some ofthe material in the Water Music is the same as in the Concerto HWV 331. With the help of the latest technology, it has now been possible to date this Concerto to 1722. By doing this, the rationale for dividing the music into three suites has been removed. The newly found primary source A places the movements in a richly varied sequence of keys and instrumentations which offers a great range of colours than the previous arrangement. Based on new sources, editor Terence Best has been able to reconstruct the original order of the suites and correct many points left open or unclarified in earlier publications. - New critical edition based on new sources. - Detailed Prefaces (Ger/Eng). - Urtext of the “Halle Handel Edition”/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Ich Hatte Viel Bekümmernis - Lord My God, My heart And Soul Were Sore Distrest BWV 21. Cantata for the 3rd Sunday after Trinity. The cantata “Ich Hatte Viel Bekümmernis” dates from around 1713 and was probably performed for the first time that year in the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle. Its assigning to the third Sunday after Trinity probably only occurred the following year. With its large-scale structure and strong emphasis on biblical texts, it was extremely popular in the 19th century and remains one of Bach ’s best-known cantatas today. The cantata is published here with a Vocal score based on the New Bach Edition with an idiomatic, straightforward Piano reduction by Martin Focke. - One of Bach ’s best-known cantatas. - Urtext based on the “New Bach Edition”. - Clear straightforward Piano reduction. - Study score (TP1021), Vocal score (BA10021-90) & performance material (BA10021) available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Harmonie-Messe.. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Missa B-flat Major Hob. XXII:14 'Harmony Mass' Urtext from: Joseph Haydn Werke It is well known that Joseph Haydn wrote his late masses to the commission of his last employer, Prince Nicolaus II Esterhazy. The 'Harmoniemesse' is the last of these high masses all of which probably received their first performances in celebration of the name-day of Princess Maria Josepha Hermenegild, the prince's wife. The present work was given for the first time on 8 September 1802 in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt, Haydn himself conducting. Haydn entitled his work simply 'Missa'. The work has acquired the name 'Harmoniemesse' by reason ofthe prominent parts given to the wind instruments ('Harmonie' being a contemporary name for a wind band); the nickname did not become established until the late nineteenth century.

Cantata for the Sunday Jubilate. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen (Weeping, crying, sorrow, sighing) BWV 12 Cantata for the Sunday Jubilate These editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach's output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations androyal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then. - Performance material vocal score & study score available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

The text, by Salomon Franck who was the librettist of some of Bach 's the best-known cantatas, is closely linked to the account of Easter and recalls the jubilation at the resurrection of Jesus. Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards.

Mass in Time of War. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Haydn was in England, in 1795, when he received word from his new Prince, Nicolaus II Esterházy, that the Esterházy orchestra was to be reformed, and Haydn was to serve again as active Capellmeister. Prince Nicolaus II demanded little from his Capellmeister, except the usual routine of administration; but Haydn was to compose, every year, a new Mass for the name day of the Princess Josepha Maria, which was celebrated the Sunday afterwards in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt. It is known that a new Haydn mass was performed before a packed congregation in the Piaristenkirche in Vienna on St. Stephen’s Day (26 December) 1796. The writer of these notes examined – when preparingthis edition – the music archives of the church, and found contemporary parts on the Missa in tempore belli in the church; and it seems certain that this (and not the Heiligmesse) was the work performed on that occasion, and thus also the work which Haydn had just finished and performed in Eisenstadt.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. J. S. Bach ’s Four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call classical hits! They stem from Bach ’s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721. Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig. These originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as part of the “New Bach Edition”. At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with additional articulation and performance suggestions. Bärenreiter’s new edition of Bach’s great four suites nowpresents the Urtext as found in the “New Bach Edition” i. e. without emendations and performance suggestions. The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a “Violino concertato” part. - Urtext editions of these important works. - Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo. - For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 with “ Violino concertato ” is included. - Full scores, study scores and performance material available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Theresienmesse. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Between 1796 and 1802 Haydn composed 6 great Masses to celebrate the name day of Princess Maria Hermenegild, the wife of his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy II. The Theresa Mass was the fourth of these composed in 1799 and although the title page of the score simply has the word 'Missa' the nickname Theresienmesse remains a matter for speculation, but is usually attributed to the work's supposed association with Marie Therese, the wife of the Emperor Franz II. - Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke - Full score (with Nelson Mass) (BA4660) available for sale - Parts (BA4661), vocal score (BA4661-90) and study scoreformat 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP99) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for the Feast of Reformation. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (A Mighty Fortress is our God) Cantata for the Feast of Reformation There are practically no surviving original sources for Bach's great Reformation Cantata 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott'. It is possible that the original form of the Cantata was written in Weimar in 1715 to which Bach later made various additions and alterations to transform it into a Reformation Cantata for Leipzig. Although scholarly opinion as to the sources is divided there is no doubt that the opening chorus, based on Martin Luther's chorale melody 'Ein feste Burg' is one of Bach's greatest achievements.

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. One of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Debussy overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, rhythm, and orchestral coloration. Among his most popular works are the compositions in this volume, Prelude A ' L'Apres-Midi D'Un Faune and the Three Nocturnes, Clouds, Festivals and Sirens. The Nocturnes are described as 'exquisite, evocative models of Impressionism' and are all fantastic examples of the expressiveness and character of music from this period. These important compostitions, in Dover Miniature Score format, are reproduced from authoritative early editions./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
