Anton Bruckner (18241896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON / DOSS THOMAS (Arr.). Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets during his lifetime, the earliest a setting of Pange lingua around 1835, and the last, Vexilla regis, in 1892.

Par BUNTING CHRISTOPHER. Warming up and keeping one?s basic technique in peak condition (or working to get to peak condition) is fundamentally important, yet many cellists do not have routine exercises to follow. This book, the first of a two volume set, which complements book 2, provides the exercises that every cellist needs, for both the left and right hands: daily bowing practice; left hand wo…

Aus: Israelsbrünnlein. Geistliche Madrigale. Par SCHEIN JOHANN HERMANN. Johann Hermann Schein’s Israelsbrünnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written “in the Italian…

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) referred to his Petite Messe Solennelle as the 'last moral sin of my old age'.

This is the chorus score ONLY…

Par DUBOIS THEODORE. At just 34 years of age, Theodore Dubois was installed as a professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire.

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Mozart composed his two “Lodron Serenades” for open-air performances on the name day of Countess Antonia Lodron in June 1776 and 1777. Their bright “al fresco” character is immediately recognisable. Alfred Einstein considered these two divertimentos to be “among the purest, gayest, most satisfying, and most perfect that ever assumed musical form”. For both works Mozart…
