Johann Sebastian Bach's recorder parts are amongst the most delightful artisic challenges which baroque music has to offer players of this instrument. The four-volume Complete Edition of the recorder parts from Bach's cantatas and oratorios published in 2018 by Carus-Verlag (Carus 31.308) has been highly acclaimed by musicians. This is now followed by the present volume containing the three instrumental works in which Bach uses the recorder: the Brandenburg Concertos no. 2 in F major (BWV 1047) and no. 4 in G major (BWV 1049), and the Harpsichord Concerto in F major (BWV 1057). With this, the complete Bach recorder parts are now available from Carus-Verlag in Urtext editions. As before with the four vocal music volumes, the instrumental volume offers the Urtext of the original sources in a practical layout, and is intended for use in rehearsal and performance alike. The musical text is augmented with comments on the three works, on the instrument, and on playing technique, as well as source details and bibliographic references.

This three-movement solo cantata can be performed in several ways. The instruments basically required are the trio sonata ensemble of recorder, oboe and keyboard instrument (+ a continuo melody instrument ad lib.). If necessary, as Telemann stated, the two woodwind parts can be placed by violins. The instrumental parts can also be augmented by a body of strings, playing in the ritornello sections of the two arias. Moreover, the new edition expands the performance possibilities for the work by adding a four-part chorus from the more fully scored original version, which Telemann did not publish. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3912000.

The duet cantata Auf Gott will ich mich stets verlassen is a type of sacred chamber music in whose four movements Telemann knows to use the small but colorful ensemble of soprano, bass, recorder, violin and continuo to best advantage. The beautiful, confessional Baroque poetry of Erdmann Neumeister deals with trust in God and merges into thoughts about death. To this latter theme, the instruments intone the well-known chorale Herzlich tut mich verlangen nach einem selgen End. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3913800.

For his cantata BWV 152 Bach chose a remarkable chamber music scoring which still sounds very colorful and lively today: the two solo voices are accompanied by recorder, oboe, viola d'amore, viola da gamba and organ. The cantata was written for the Sunday after Christmas and was performed for the first time on 30 December 1714 in the Schlosskirche Weimar. Nowadays the last aria is often performed during weddings. Exactly 300 years later, it is now being published in a practical Urtext edition. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3115200.

The Trauer-Actus is probably the earliest work in the Grimma collection of Telemann cantatas. Its textual and musical structur indicates that this work dates from Telemann's apprentice years at Hildesheim, between about 1696/97 and 1701. It belongs to a category of cantatas in which biblical quotations are brought together to etablish a particular theme, which can be supportet by existing hymns (se also Bach's Actus tragicus).

The Iowa Tests of Music Literacy are the only nationally standardized music achievement tests published in the United States. These tests are designed to (1) evaluate students’ continual growth in music achievement, (2) diagnose individual students’ strengths and weaknesses in music achievement, and (3) compare students’ relative standing in music achievement. There are a total of six levels in this series, and each level is sequentially more difficult. All six levels are organized into two parts: Tonal Concepts and Rhythm Concepts. Each of these parts takes 45 minutes to administer and will yield information on listening, reading, and writing. Levels 1, 2, and 3 are appropriate for Grades 4 through 12, and Levels 4, 5, and 6 are appropriate for Grades 7 through 12. The complete kit includes manual, 50 rhythm and 50 tonal answer sheets for each level, six CDs, one set of scoring masks for each level, 50 cumulative record folders, and six class record sheets, an introduction to testing booklet, and two research monographs. Items also available separately.

ISBN 9790007166564. Text language: German/English. Text: Fritsch, Ahasverus.
This six-movement cantata uses the hymn of the same name by Ahasverus Fritsch, first recorded in 1698 in the Darmstadter Liederbuch. This places it amongst those chorale cantatas which use a hymn from the repertoire associated with Pietism. As was customary, the hymn text is retained in the outer movements, whereas the text for the inner movements - two secco recitatives and a tenor and a bass aria - are concerned with the contrast between the hostile world and the certainty of Jesus; the links between the cantata text and the Feast of the Epiphany are correspondingly tenuous. In the first movement the soprano sings the hymn melody complete, accompanied by mainly homophonic vocal parts, whilst the instrumental writing is largely influenced by the melody of the first line of the hymn. Remarkable is the tenor aria, with its contrasting central section and its chromatic twists and turns, in which Bach once again proves himself to be a master of harmony. The demands on the chorus are fairly modest, whereas the instrumentalists are challenged in the first movement and in both the arias. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3112300.
