Otto Nicolais Oper Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor ist eine der zahlreichen Vertonungen von William Shakespeares Sujet, der Komodie The merry widows of Windsor, und ist zusammen mit Verdis Falstaff diejenige, die sich an den Opernhausern durchgesetzt hat. Anders als Verdi und sein Textdichter Arrigo Boito halten sich Nicolai und der Librettist H.S. Mosenthal eng an die Vorlage und belassen die Buhnenhandlung im Kleinstadtmilieu. Es entstand eine Oper, die in ihrer quellenden, glucklichen Musik, in der Elastizitat des Orchsters, in der Pracht ihrer Erfindung bluht.Dieses Buch enthalt neben dem Textbuch einfuhrende Kommentare von Kurt Pahlen. Er begleitet das musikalische und aussere wie innere dramatische Geschehen der Oper mit Hinweisen zu kompositorischer Struktur und Sinnzusammenhang. Eine kurze Inhaltsangabe und ein Abriss der Entstehungsgeschichte stellen das Werk in einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtschaffen des Komponisten und seiner Biographie und bieten eine umfassende, reich illustrierte Einfuhrung.

Following his death, Pergolesi's last larger composition, the Stabat Mater of 1736, immediately became one of the most popular sacred works of the late baroque-early classical era. Numerous publications made this icon of Italian sacred music known throughout Europe. It was arranged by, among others, J. S. Bach (Tilge, Hochster, meine Sunden, BWV 1083), J. A. Hiller and Abbe Vogler. The most popular arrangement was the one made around 1800 for the Vienna Court Kapelle, in which Antonio Salieri, Franz Xaver Sussmayr and I. X. Ritter von Seyfried added woodwind instruments and obbligato trombones to the string accompaniment. In addition the 2-part texture of the upper voices in the original was arranged for 4 parts with obbligato soli. It was only in this opulent, sonorous version, which Otto Nicolai and three composer colleagues offered to 19th century Viennese music lovers. The piece is of medium difficulty. In the Viennese version it is a rarity that offers an enrichment to the repertoire for choirs wishing to discover something new. Score and part available separately - see item CA.9700300.
