Musique sacrée de Campra comprend 5 livres de petits motets, la polyphonique Missa ad maiorem Dei Gloriam, la Messe de mort et un grand nombre de grands motets. Toutes ces oeuvres démontrent la maîtrise du compositeur de conventions théâtrales - descriptives préludes instrumentales et scènes dramatiquement représentants ne sont pas rares - et leur style est imprégnée de l'esprit italianisant mondaine, à la mode de l'époque. La Messe de la mort est aujourd'hui l'un des plus souvent jouées des oeuvres sacrées de Campra et c'est aussi l'un des plus énigmatiques scores de toute sa production. L'occasion de sa commission et la première performance sont inconnus. Montagnier, toutefois, propose l'hypothèse que la Messe de mort a été expressément composée pour le service commémoratif pour Philippe II duc d'Orléans (patron de Campra depuis 1697) qui est mort à Versailles le 4 février 1723. / Solistes, Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orchestre

Denmark Revisited - Danish choral works for mixed voices a cappella.The University Choir Lille MUKO and soprano Else Torp conducted by Jesper Grove Jørgensen.For many years now there has been a broad international interest in performing Danish choral works not least from the 20th century but often the Danish lyrics have been a hindrance in realising this goal outside Denmark. With this in mind we have thought it important to make Danish choral music more available through the release of selected works in which the Danish text is translated into English. With the present choice we have endeavoured to present works which fullydemonstrate the wide range and originality of Danish choral music: the particular lyrical Danish tone of Svend S. Schultz and Jørgen Jersild; the original simplicity of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the characteristically Danish late romanticism of P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard; and the music of composers with their own particular musical idiom such as Vagn Holmboe Bernhard Lewkovitch and Bo Holten. We have also tried to choose works with lyrics by writers that are specifically Danish in origin including Hans Christian Andersen Johannes V. Jensen and Tove Ditlevsen. We hope that this release will help to spread knowledge and understanding of Danish choral music outside Denmark.(Jesper Grove Jørgensen)ContentP. E.

19 Bände im Versand-Schuber. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Awarded with the German Music Edition Prize 'Best Edition' 2008.

A MUST for everyone who is passionate about Bach´s music! No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach?s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas.

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. Bärenreiter?s unique edition, which encompasses more than 11, 000 pages, includes all cantatas together with the motets, chorales and sacred songs in the Urtext of the ?New Bach Edition? (NBA Series I and III). As a special extra, the recently rediscovered aria ? Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn ? ihn ? is also included. Only available here is an additional volume with an introduction (German/English) by Christoph Wolff and an index.

Aus: Israelsbrünnlein. Geistliche Madrigale. Par SCHEIN JOHANN HERMANN. Johann Hermann Schein’s Israelsbrünnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written “in the Italian madrigal manner” 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the “inexhaustible fountain” of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament. / Mottet / Répertoire / Choeur SSATTB et Basse Continue

Suite Gothique remains Leon Boellmann's most popular composition. It is tuneful approachable and technically straightforward and its superb Toccata has become an organ 'classic'. It creates a thrilling effect with the mosteconomical of means. Boellmann wrote liturgical organ music motets songs and a little instrumental music. One is left wondering what he would have composed if he had lived longer.
