Version II (1725). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Unlike Bach’s other oratorio compositions, there is no definitive version of the St. John Passion. The first version of 1724 which is today’s standard version represents a mixture of different readings. The second version of 1725 was performed under the direction of Bach himself and can therefore be considered authentic. In addition to a change in orde…

Par WALTON WILLIAM. This new vocal-score edition was published to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, in June 1953. First performed as the new Queen processed out of Westminster Abbey, Walton's Te Deum is at once regal, celebratory, and restrained, and a beacon among English settings. The new vocal score (with keyboard reduction) draws on research for the complete Walton …

Par BACKER-GRONDAHL AGATHE. Agathe Backer Grøndahl is primarily known as an accomplished Norwegian pianist, but her brilliant compositions have received little attention to date.
