Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Long considered the noblest, most inspired musical treatment of the crucifixion of Christ, Bach's St. Matthew Passion remains an immensely popular work. First performed in the late 1720s, the great choral masterpiece was scored for a vast ensemble of double chorus, soloists, double orchestra and two organs. Richly dramatic and theatrical, its deeply moving story unfolds …

Kommt, Eilet Und Laufet. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Critical new edition 2004, edited by Ulrich Leisinger: Carus 31. 249; old edition, edited by Dieter Hellmann: Carus 31. 249/50. Parody of the secula cantata 'Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen' BWV 249a.

Par PART ARVO. The Berlin Mass is intended to be sung liturgically during Pentecost, and includes the Veni Sancte Spiritus specific to that service. The gently unfolding repetition deliberately avoids dramatic and pictorial elements, exuding quiet dignity and a profound sense of joy. The vocal scores have almost no interpretive markings. Dynamics and tempi are left to the performers; it is their t…

Bernhard Romberg (1767-1841) probably was the greatest cello virtuoso of his time and compared to Paganini in his lifetime. He gave cello lessons at the famous Conservatoire de Paris among others.Romberg's popular Trio in E minor originally was the first part of the Trois Trios d'une Difficulté Progressive pour le Violoncelle Viola et Violoncelle Op. 38. The solo violoncello was accompanied by a v…

Scored for chorus, children's choir, organ and chamber orchestra, St Luke Passion adopts a pared-back focus on choral voices over its 75-minute span. Seeking a more spiritual, inward approach to match Luke's text, the composer eschews settings of interpolated texts as arias and the customary Evangelist and Christ soli: everything is sung by choral forces. A children's choir grants a measure of inn…

Par BURNETTE SONNY. This Ain't Your Grandfather's Stinkin' Rondo was composed for the Osland Saxophone Quartet, based out of Lexington, Kentucky. It features the predictable return of the 'A' section sandwiched between contrasting sections... perhaps in a slightly more jazzy setting than grandfather was expecting, not to mention the improv section in the middle. Scored for SATB quartet./ Répertoir…
