This work was commissioned by the civilian wind orchestra Shimizu il compagno, based in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, as a commemorative work for their 10th Anniversary. The world premiere was performed by the ensemble, conducted by Hiromichi Hamada in 2017. Having held discussions with the head of the orchestra, Tomohiro Tsuji, and members of the group, Satoshi Yagisawa settled on a central motif for this commemorative work: fellow, or companion, in the sense of the Italian il compagno, which features in the orchestra’s name. The work also strives to describe the characteristic friendliness of Shimizu city, a place known for itswarmth and kindness which is visible from both Mount Fuji and the sea. The composition is written in Yagisawa’s typical dramatic style with an atmosphere of scintillating light and lyrical warmth, making it an excellent choice for opening a concert. Dit werk werd geschreven ter gelegenheid van het tienjarig bestaan van blaasorkest “Shimizu il compagno†uit de stad Shimizu in de Japanse prefectuur Shizuoka. Het hoofdmotief van de compositie is vriendschap, op basis van de Italiaanse term il compagno de kameraad uit de naam van het orkest. Ook beschrijft Festive Overture de vriendelijkheid en warmte die kenmerkend zijn voor Shimizu, een plaats die zichtbaar is vanaf zowel de berg Fuji als de zee. Het werk is geschreven in Yagisawa’s typerende filmische stijl, waardoor het een uitstekende keuze is voor de opening van een concert.Dieses Werk wurde vom städtischen Blasorchester Shimizu il compagno“ aus Shimizu City in der Präfektur Shizuoka in Japan anlässlich seines 10-jährigen Bestehens in Auftrag gegeben. Der Begriff Gefährte im Sinne des italienischen Wortes il compagno das auch im Namen des Orchesters verwendet wird wurde zum zentralen Motiv. Das Werk möchte außerdem die für die Stadt Shimizu typische Freundlichkeit beschreiben, ein Ort, der für seine Wärme und Liebenswürdigkeit bekannt ist und sowohl vom Berg Fudschijama als auch vom Meer aus zu sehen ist. Die Komposition ist in Yagisawas typisch filmischem Stil geschrieben, wodurch sie sich hervorragend für die Eröffnungeines Konzerts eignet. Cette œuvre a été commandée l’occasion du dixième anniversaire de l’harmonie « Shimizu il compagno » de la ville de Shimizu, préfecture de Shizuoka, au Japon. Son motif principal est le camarade, ou compagnon, dans le sens de l’italien il compagno qui figure dans le nom de l’orchestre. L’œuvre cherche aussi communiquer l’ambiance chaleureuse de la ville de Shimizu, qui est réputée pour son hospitalité et sa bienveillance et que l’on aperçoit aussi bien depuis le mont Fuji que de la côte. Typique du style dramatique de Yagisawa, cette composition est idéale pour ouvrir un concert.

Liam Lawton’s High Is the Heaven combines Celtic themes, strong melodies, and poignant texts to create a unique and accessible collection of music for liturgical celebrations and beyond. Like so many of Liam’s songs, each exquisite piece has a back story: The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor was written for the Papal Mass of Pope Francis in Ireland, High Is the Heaven commemorates the 1400th anniversary of the death of St. Columban, one of the ancient Celtic monks who brought Christianity from Ireland to Europe, and the Christmas piece There’s a Star was written for Liam’s own parish choir in Ireland. In true Lawton fashion, he injects the beauty and spirituality of his homeland into every song of this collection. Click here to redeem your download code.

Zoltán Kodály s unaccompanied mixed choruses first appeared in print in 1943 as a collected volume published by the association Magyar Kórus. This collection contained twenty-five works. In 1951, the volume was released again in the author s edition, being expanded with eight new compositions, but without Els áldozás (First Communion). Reprint editions of this collection had been distributed by Editio Musica Budapest until 1972, when a commemorative extended edition of the mixed choruses was issued, edited by Lajos Bárdos. Until now, reprints of this collection with forty-five compositions have been circulated. Péter Erdei carefully compared the printed edition with themanuscripts of the works preserved at the Kodály Archives. As a result of his work, in 2011 we emended a number of misprints, including those that had been inherited since the earliest print. Seventy-five years after the first release, the time has come for Kodály s collected choral works for mixed voices to appear in a completely new, expanded edition. Our collection contains six compositions that were not included in earlier editions: Jövel, Szentlélek eristen (Come, Holy Spirit), Miatyánk (The Lord s Prayer), Miserere, Salló Pista, Semmit ne bánkódjál (Do Not Grieve), ejesztend t köszönt (A Christmas Carol). In addition, two versions - both equally authentic - are published of the work known under the title of Naphimnusz (Canticle of the Sun), due to earlier editions the new release comes with lyrics in Hebrew and English (Adoration), as well as Dénes Szed s Hungarian translation (Napének [Hymn of the Sun]). This is the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály s mixed choruses to date it is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions, and it contains new easily-legible music scores and an informative epilogue. Diese Ausgabe entstand unter der Mitwirkung von Lajos Bárdos.
