Der Froschkönig : Operette

Rosalia, the youngest of the King’s five daughters, is a very bright but unruly child. One day, when she lets her fathers orb fall into the well while juggling, the scheming Prime Minister smells his chance, marble statues come to life, little frogs dance the Can-Can, and the King needs Aspirin again. Rosalia rescues the day when she picks up a huge slimy frog and throws him against the wall as punishment for his impertenance. This simple act has the most amazing consequences …

Useful suggestions on performance in the foreword complete the new edition.

Missa solemnis : D major - Op. 123

Beethoven described his Missa solemnis several times as his greatest work. "Coming from the heart", it was intended to touch and move audiences. Beethoven worked long and intensively on the composition in order to give what he felt was adequate expression to the text. In its length and musical demands, the Missa solemnis goes far beyond typical liturgical settings; for good reason, the premiere took place in a concert hall. With this arrangement for chamber orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, timpani and strings, plus organ ad lib), smaller choirs, as well as choirs with more limited resources of space or finance, can now perform this work too.However, the symphonic character and wide dynamic range of the work remain. The scoring of 7 instead of 18 winds offers an optimal balance between transparency and orchestral sound. All the vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the original version, so that the vocal score and chorus score of that version can be used. Major mass can also be performed by smaller choir Wind and brass parts of the original version reduced to just seven single instruments Vocal scores and choral scores from the original version can be used. carus plus: the work (original version) is available in carus music, the choir app, and in the practice CD series Carus Choir Coach.

Psalm 42 : MWV A 15

Psalm texts inspired Mendelssohn throughout his composing career. In 1837 Robert Schumann judged Mendelssohn’s setting of Psalm 42 as the "highest level that he has achieved as a composer of church music, indeed the highest level that modern church music has ever reached". With this arrangement of Mendelssohn’s cantata Wie der Hirsch schreit (As the hart longs) smaller choirs and choirs with more limited resources of space or finance can now perform this popular work. The original symphonic wind and brass forces have been reduced from 15 to 5 wind and brass forces. All the vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the original version, so that the vocal scores andchorus scores of that version can be used. Can be performed by smaller choirs with smaller instrumental forces Usable with the vocal scores and choral scores from the original version. Complete performance material available on loan. carus plus: the work is also available in carus music, the choir app, and the practice CD series Carus Choir Coach.

Sehet, welch eine Liebe. Motetten [Bernius]

Sensational masterpieces in miniature form: The motets of Homilius can be described as the most important historical contribution to this genre between those of Bach and Mendelssohn. This recording certainly contributes towards placing the long-forgotten works by this composer and once highly-acclaimed Dresdner Kreuzkirche Kantor in the limelight again. “This CD is an absolute must [at least] for ever lover of choir music. … That the music of the CD can, at times, unfold with such a lasting, outright magical effect, lies naturally not solely on the music itself, but also on the masterful interpretation: Frieder Bernius has intentionally refrained from using any instruments inorder to achieve the purest interpretation possible.”

Heinichen: Missa- Händel: Dixit Dominus [Rademann]

The music of the Court of Dresden is of special interest to Hans-Christoph Rademann and his two Dresden ensembles. Johann David Heinichen’s Missa No.11 is presented in a manner in which the musicians can display the entire majestic sound of this festive court music from the baroque era.

Schwebender Klang : Die Orgel-Skulptur in Alpirsbach

Actually the Romanesque monastery church in Alpirsbach is no place for an organ. But in order to fill the space with organ music, a spectacular solution was found. By means of air cushions the instrument can be moved and be played from different positions in the Church. Its regular position is in the southern transept, where it can accompany sacred services. Thanks to the air cushions the organ can also be moved to the optimal “Solo-concert position; it hovers in the crossing, where it is then turned 90° so that it will be heard even to the last row of seats. Its “Orchestra-concert position is located on the edge of the nave, where the instrument is turned 50°. Thus it soundsfrom the length of the nave and allows the orchestra and/or choir enough room to perform. In cooperation with the organ builder Claudius Winterhalter, the sculptor and painter, Armin Göhringer, has ennobled the instrument into a work of art with his chain saw, by transforming it into a sculpture. The renowned organist Jürgen Essl presents the possibilties of the instrument with works by Bach, César Franck and with his own improvisations.

Eight Responsories For Trinity Sunday

This is the individual Cello part for Antonio Juanas' 'Eight Responsories For Trinity Sunday'.Antonio Juanas (ca. 1762/63 - 1816) worked as "maestro de capilla" at the Cathedral in Mexico City. At the turn of the 18th to 19th centuries his music combined a pronounced Baroque character in the string parts (with Basso Continuo) with vocal parts in the stile antico. The short, partly Double-Choir movements of his Ocho Responsorios in Latin belong liturgically to Trinity Sunday, but can also be performed as individual works. They are available for the first time in Urtext editions. The works are terrific for musicians with an interest in early music, and because of theirscoring for small forces they can be performed by ensembles of different sizes and resources.

Missa solemnis : WAB 29

Anyone who is familiar with Bruckner’s symphonies and great masses will probably be astonished upon hearing his Missa solemnis of 1854: can the tradition of the Viennese classics still be so clearly evident in a work by Bruckner? And yet, isn’t it also possible to hear much of Bruckner’s later style?With this edition, the earliest of Bruckner’s orchestral masses is now available as an Urtext edition. It reflects the latest scholarly research, and the complete performance material is available on sale. Compared with Bruckner’s late masses, the demands on chorus and soloists are considerably less. The horns play in just two movements and can be replaced by trombones. This rarely performed work offers many choirs an exciting alternative to the better-known masses – not only for the Bruckner anniversary in 2024!

Bach: Drei Choräle zur Trauung

Among Johann Sebastian Bach’s largely unknown vocal works is a compilation of wedding chorales which have survived in an autograph set of parts from the 1730s. These are four-part chorale settings of well-known hymns for treble voices accompanied by two horns, colla-parte strings and continuo. The chorales can still be performed today at weddings without any great difficulty.

Organo pleno. Orgelstücke zum Ein- und Auszug

The practical collection contains ca. 140 compositions [preludes, fugues, toccatas and versettes] from the 17th and 18th centuries which, due to their relatively modest length, are perfectly suitable as introductory and closing organ music. This volume offers a broad stylistic variety and also contains interesting rarities. The pieces in this collection range from easy to mid-level difficulty and for the most part can be played manualiter.

European Folksongs für gleiche Stimmen

This new collection of folk songs - "Laula kultani" (Finnish for "Sing, my sweetheart") - offers choirs attractive literature to expand their repertoires and to perform concerts for many different occasions. The creative choral director has many possibilities for performing this music: thus instruments can be added, or - if there are difficulties due to pronouncing a foreign language - a small ensemble can sing the song, while the remainder of the choir hums the music in the background. The selected songs about themes of love and love's sorrow, dance, festival and celebration, are traditional folksongs which are well-known and popular in the countries of their origin. In puttingtogether this collection special emphasis has been placed on the musical quality of the settings. In addition to traditional settings, many songs in new arrangments by contemporary composers have been included. The settings range in difficulty from easy to moderately difficult.
