Deux Gymnopedies

Deux Gymnopedies

by Erik Satie ; Claude Debussy (orchestrator) ; Carl Simpson (editor)

Debussy orchestrated two of the three Gymnopedies composed by his friend Erik Satie after giving an impromptu performance of the piano originals at the home of conductor Gustave Doret, who was so taken with them that he commissioned Debussy to prepare an orchestral setting for an upcoming concert, which was given on Feb. 20, 1897. Though Satie's piano originals are easily his most famous and beloved work now, they were virtually unknown in 1897. Debussy's orchestration of the first and last, presented in...

Mass in C, Op.86

Mass in C, Op.86

by Ludwig van Beethoven ; Carl Reinecke (arranger) ; Karel Torvik (editor)

Commissioned by Price Esterhazy, the patron of his teacher Joseph Haydn, Beethoven's first major choral mass with orchestral accompaniment was generally dismissed as an inferior work by both patron and audience at the first performance in Eisenstadt on 13 September 1807. Later audiences nevertheless came to appreciate Beethoven's masterful contrapuntal writing, which are a precursor to his towering Missa solemnis composed 15 years later. This newly engraved vocal score features a superb piano reduction... Read more about this item

Francesca da Rimini, Op.32

Francesca da Rimini, Op.32

by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky

Inspired by Canto V of the "Inferno" of Dante's "Divine Comedy", Tchaikovsky initially planned to create an opera on the subject but abandoned the idea in favor the present 24-minute fantasia for orchestra in 1876. Bearing all the hallmarks of the composer's late romantic style, "Francesca da Rimini" takes full advantage of the powerful orchestral forces employed. The first performance was given on March 9, 1877 in Moscow, with the RMS Orchestra conducted by Nikolay Rubinstein. This is a new, digitally... Read more about this item

Schicksalslied, Op.54

Schicksalslied, Op.54

by Johannes Brahms ; Eusebius Mandyczewski (editor)

Brahms started work on his lush setting of Friedrich Hölderlin's poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion's Song of Destiny) in 1868 but did not complete it until 1871, being unsatisfied with the ending until he completed his better-known Alto Rhapsody, Op.53. The vocal score offered here is a clean digitally-enhanced reprint of the classic vocal score issued by Breitkopf & Härtel in the early 20th century edited by the eminent musicologist Eusebius Mandyczewski.

Requiem in C minor

Requiem in C minor

by Luigi Cherubini ; Hugo Ulrich (arranger)

Composed in 1816 to memorialize the death by execution of King Louis XVI, this Requiem received its premiere on January 21, 1817 under the composer's direction. The C-minor Requiem firmly established Cherubini's position as a major composer on the Paris scene thereafter. This new vocal score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the one first published around 1860 by C.F. Peters in a piano reduction prepared by the German organist Hugo Ulrich (1827-1872).

Symphony No. 8

Symphony No. 8

by Gustav Mahler ; Joseph von Wöss (arranger)

Mahler's penultimate symphony recieved its premiere performance in Munich on September 12th, 1910 with a chorus of about 850, and an orchestra of 171. These massive forces led to Mahler's agent dubbing the work "Symphony of a Thousand." Mahler did not approve of the title at all, but it remains. The symphony was a great success at its premiere, one of the few of Mahler's works to be well received in his lifetime. It was the last premiere of one his works that Mahler witnessed before his death. Unabridged... Read more about this item

Suite aus dem Orchesterwerken

Suite aus dem Orchesterwerken

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Gustav Mahler (arranger)

Mahler's arrangement of four Bach pieces - two each from the baroque master's Orchestral Suites Nos. 3 and 4 (BWV 1067, 1068) were prepared specially for a concert of the New York Philharmonic he conducted on November 10, 1909. Mahler's arrangement is quite unusual for its era and does not significantly depart from Bach's original in the forces required. Mahler's use of the harpsichord (he played the part himself at the premiere) is quite personal - adding the instrument to the orchestra a color more... Read more about this item

Magnificat in D major, BWV 243

Magnificat in D major, BWV 243

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Alfred Dürr (editor)

Bach composed the first version of this piece in 1723 using the key of E-flat major for the Christmas Vespers in Leipzig which contained several Christmas texts. Over the years he removed the Christmas-specific texts to make it suitable for year-round performance, and transposed it to D major, providing better sonority for the three trumpets, which is the standard version of the work encountered today. The Magnificat is divided into twelve parts which can be grouped into three movements, each beginning... Read more about this item

Composed from 1869 through 1874, the second volume likewise features numbers for solo voices placed between the 4-voiced settings.
