The “Missa Cellensis”, composed in 1782, is better known as the “Mass for Mariazell”, in reference to the pilgrimage site of Mariazell in Styria (Austria), where it was performed.

Due to the revision of the respective Complete Edition volume published by G. Henle Verlag, it became necessary to adapt the performance material, published by Bärenreiter, accordingly. This primarily concerned the instrumental parts but also the piano reduction, though to a lesser extent. Moreover, a performing edition of the full score with the current musical text is available for the first time.

Rameau, Jean-Philippe
Les Fêtes de Ramire RCT 40
Ballet in one act
Editor: Dubruque, Julien
BA 8876-90 | EUR 17.50 | Vocal score (French) | 9790006579624
This work tells the love story between Fatime, accused of murdering her father, and the king’s son Ramire, who is in love with her and frees her from the captivity of his father Alphonse, the King of Castile.

This opera in the form of a one-act ballet was only performed once on 22 December 1745 in Versailles and is one of Rameau's lesser-known works. It has only been performed again in the recent past.

The commission for “Les Fêtes de Ramire” did not go to Rameau himself, but to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Nevertheless, the opera was based on Rameau's comédie-ballet “La Princess de Navarre”, which had been performed just a few months earlier and whose libretto was written by Voltaire, who shortened it for “Les Fêtes de Ramire”. Rousseau added the overture and new transitions to the work. Although, according to Rousseau, all the changes were reviewed by Rameau at the last minute, he did not have enough time to compose new music.

Voltaire himself described his own libretto as ‘wretched’ and the few minutes of music by Rousseau have mainly curiosity value, however, the density of outstanding compositions by Rameau, many of which were later incorporated into his other works, makes a performance well worthwhile.

Schubert, Franz
Partsongs with Orchestral Accompaniment
New Schubert Edition III/1
Editors: Papadopoulou, Vasiliki / Kube, Michael
BA 5575-01 | EUR 398.00 | Linen-bound full score | 9790006578436
Reduced subscription price available
Volume III/1 of the “New Schubert Edition” presents Franz Schubert’s partsongs with orchestra or instrumental ensemble. The instrumentation of these nine compositions is varied, ranging from male voices with low strings in “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern” (D 714) or male voices with four horns in “Nachtgesang im Walde” (D 913), to larger-scale occasional works featuring woodwinds, horns, trombones, timpani, vocal soloists, and strings, as in the “Spendou Cantata” (D 472). The fragmentary draft of “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern” is also included in the appendix. ...

Handel, George Frideric
Cantatas for solo voice and basso continuo
Halle Handel Edition (HHA) V/1.1
Editor: Jones, Andrew V.
BA 10729-01 | EUR 283.00 | Linen-bound full score | 9790006578580
Reduced subscription price available
Handel’s cantatas for solo voice and basso continuo are jewels waiting to be discovered. They number over 80, and are probably the least known body of compositions that Handel wrote; their neglect is astonishing in view of the extraordinary technical skill and imagination that are displayed by a composer who (when he started writing cantatas) was in his early 20s. Not only the musical quality of the cantatas but also their variety are perhaps all the more surprising in view of Handel’s most common starting-point: a poem expressing the love – usually unrequited – between nymphs and shepherds. ...
