Musicalisches Lob Gottes : 13 ausgewählte Kirchenmusiken zwischen 1. Advent und Michaelis

This volume represents the only annual cycle of sacred music of the 18th century printed in score: it was completed in 1744. The textual basis stems from Erdmann Neumeister. In contrast to the usual practice of the TelemannEdition to edit segments of the church years, here the entire course of the church year is presented. The music to be performed at the beginning of each part of the church year and at special celebrations is included.Telemannused a variety of expressive polyphonic techniques to create the introductory dicta. These, like the chorales, are written in concentrated three-part harmony.The preface provides information on the printing history of thechurch year and its dissemination supplemented by comments on performance practice: the critical report analyses the rich source material.Editions of Telemann's preface (with his performance notes and an explanation of hisfigured bass system), the preface on the printing of the texts and the texts of the compositions contained in the volume flank the edition of the music. Facsimiles from the original print and from Hamburg performance materials areincluded.

Christus

Oratorio on passages from the Holy Bible and the Catholic liturgy. Franz Liszt’s “Christus” is an attempt to capture in music the life of Christ from his birth to his Passion and Resurrection, therebyfollowing in the tradition of Handel’s biblical oratorios. Despite the familiar subject matter, Liszt was concerned less with depicting Jesus’s deeds than with producing an object of meditation. To this end heemployed a full array of musical devices to create a work abounding in sharp contrasts: symphonic textures alongside simple hymns, modal harmonies alongside bold chromaticism and varied combinations of voices andinstrumentsalongside purely instrumental groupings. David Friddle’s new edition is the first to publish the original text of “Christus” on the basis of all available sources. His extensive introductionalso sheds light on the performance practices of Liszt’s day. Our vocal score contains a German translation of the original Latin as a guide. - First Urtext edition of this work. - Straightforward, easy-to-playpiano reduction. - Duration: approx. 175 minutes. - Full score (BA7680) and vocal score (BA7680-90) for sale; performance material (BA7680-72) for hire.
