Anthem. Par PURCELL HENRY. The Anthem, in the post-Reformation church music of England was initially the term given to a choral work with an English biblical text. By the end of the 17th century it begins to take on Italian stylistic elements and becomes a cantata for solo voices, choir and orchestra.

Passionsoratorium. Par LOEWE CARL. Carl Loewe, who today is known only for his Ballades, left behind an extensive musical opus especially created to meet the rapidly growing needs of the emerging middle class during the Biedermeier period [including 15 oratorios]. In the oratorio Das Sühnopfer des neuen Bundes [The Expiatory Sacrifice of the New Covenant], composed during the middle of the 19th ce…

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the 'Symphonic Variations' are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of …

Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. Schönberg?s Suite op. 25 of 1923 refers to pre-classical forms in its movement titles Präludium, Gavotte?Musette, Intermezzo, Menuett?Trio and Gigue, yet at the same time it was the first work to be based entirely on a twelve-tone row. But anyone who believes that emotions can be left out of this completely new-sounding music is mistaken: Schönberg requires the player?s full…

Christian Sinding's six Piano Pieces Op. 32 have become world famous due to third piece Rustle of Spring. Sinding's music combines late-Romantic tonal charm with mysterious Nordic cadences, also typical of Edvard Grieg or Niels W. Gade. The sometimes virtuosic character does not rival the complexity of Franz Liszt, meaning some pieces remain within the grasp of the advanced pupil. The whole opus, …
