This publication offers a source-critical edition of Mozart's fragmentary "Requiem" as well as an alternative to the traditional Sussmayr version.
It makes it possible to perform
1) the fragment, identified in print in both the score and the parts,
2) the authentic sections left incomplete by Mozart, now in a stylistically appropriate orchestration, and
3) those sections missing entirely in the fragment, newly added in Mozart's idiom taking into account historical additions by Sussmayr and Eybler.

When completing the fragment, the editor drew on comprehensive comparative and analytical studies of Mozart's church style and compositional workmanship. The influence of Handel and Bach manifested in his final years, particularly in the "Requiem" fragment, is taken into account in those sections requiring completion or fresh composition.

At two points readers may choose between alternative movements (or sections), since proceeding from Sussmayr's historical version, two divergent options cannot be weighed against each other but each one may well reflect Mozart's intentions: the "Lacrimosa" may end with or without "Amen" fugue, and the "Sanctus" may begin in the customary D major or in D minor. Above all, this makes it possible to retain the B-flat major "Hosanna" from Sussmayr's autograph, a movement which, until now, has not been appreciated as compositionally flawless.

Tried and tested on many occasions, e.g. at Harvard University, the Rheingau Music Festival, the Monadnock Music Festival (New Hampshire), in Salt Lake City (Utah), as well as in radio broadcasts (NDR, SWR, WDR) and a CD recording with Concerto Cologne, Chorwerk Ruhr and Florian Helgath (awarded "Le Disque classique du jour" by francemusique.fr and nominated for Opus Klassik 2021 in the categories "Ensemble", "Choral Recording" and "Editorial Achievement").

Following upon "Alexander's Feast" (1736), in 1739 Handel produced a second setting of the "Ode to St Cecilia" ("Song for St Cecilia's Day"). At its premiere it was combined with "Alexander's Feast". Rather than a dramatic plot presentable in the theatre, the Ode, in its seven sections, offers a general hymn of praise to music and its impact. Accordingly, it largely consists of emotion-laden arias and festive orchestration.

This edition, based on the Urtext from the "Halle Handel Edition", offers the version heard at the first performance - the version preferred in today's concert life. The foreword (Ger/Eng) provides many detailed notes on performance practice with regard to orchestration.

"Iphigenie en Aulide" is the first of six operas that Gluck composed for the Academie Royale de Musique. In keeping with his plans for operatic reform, he sought to create noble, expressive and natural melodies that did justice to every language and every national spirit while eliminating the "ridiculous distinction" between national styles of music. Although the premiere was coolly received at first by the contemporary press, "Iphigenie" developed into a tremendous success. The onrush of listeners was said to have been so great that the management of the Paris Opera considered placing guards in front of the theatre.

Now Barenreiter are issuing the carefully revised and corrected vocal score in a new engraving adapted to meet their current standards.

Following upon the great success of "Iphigenie en Tauride", Gluck arranged the popular drama of human passions, guilt and unconditional friendship once again for Vienna's Burgtheater, where it was premiered in 1781. Especially remarkable is the masterly orchestration, which, among other things, turns the forces of Nature into a character in the drama and projects a striking contrast between civilization and savagery.

Now Barenreiter are issuing the carefully revised and corrected vocal score in a new engraving adapted to meet their current standards.

Haydn's "Laudon" Symphony
Buchcover
First performing Urtext edition

Haydn, Joseph
Symphony in C major Hob. I:69

Urtext from the G. Henle Complete Edition of the "Works of Joseph Haydn"
Editors: Stockmeier, Wolfgang / Gerlach, Sonja
BA 10989 | EUR 43.95 | Full score | 9790006575534
Letters of the composer have come down to us only on a few of Haydn's symphonies, amongst them the "Laudon" Symphony Hob. I:69. In one of these letters, Haydn agrees to the publisher's suggestion to name the symphony after the widely known and favoured general Gideon Ernst von Laudon (1717-1790). By using this name, both composer and publisher hoped to increase the commercial success of the work which possibly deserved a military eponym considering its instrumentation with timpani and trumpets. Also, the symphony requires two bassoons, but no flutes, corresponding with the available musicians at the court of Esterhazy between 1775 and 1776.

In continuation of the collaboration between Barenreiter and G. Henle Verlag, this edition is based on the Urtext of the Complete Edition "Joseph Haydn Works" published by G. Henle Verlag.
