Masses

1969A

Guilmant, Félix Alexandre (1837–1911)
‘pdf’ Messe Nr. 3, op. 11 - Orchestral version

Edited by Martin Sokoll

for soloists, choir and orchestra (flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, percussion, strings) or strings and organ

Critical new edition!

    Full score €78.00 / Choral score €3.60 / Part set €158.00 (strings only €98.00), organ €18.00
    Pub. No.: BU 1969A.

Alexandre Guilmant’s Third Mass ranks among the highlights of the French Romantic mass repertoire. The composer does not deny formal and melodic resonances with the Ordinary of the Classical and Early Romantic periods (Haydn, Schubert, Cherubini), but combines these ingeniously with his mature Romantic sensibility of sound.

Following the organ version of the Mass, which was published several years ago (BU 1969), published several years ago, this volume presents the orchestral version, which has been produced as a critical new edition following comparison with the composer’s manuscript. Guilmant also provided a third instrumentation variant: he created a separate organ part that replaces the entire wind section, so that the work can also be performed with strings and organ alone.

The choral score is identical to that of the organ version.

A veritable festive mass for special occasions – now also available with either a full or reduced orchestral ensemble!>

Tambling, Christopher (1964–2015)
‘pdf’ Sonne der Gerechtigkeit (GL 481 / EG 262)

Edited by Hans-Peter Bähr

for SATB and organ, or SATB, strings and organ, or SATB, orchestra (2 oboes, 2 horns [F], 2 trumpets [B?], percussion, strings) and organ (congregation ad lib.).

    Full score €18.00, choir part €1.30, part set €28.00 (strings only € 16.00), organ € 5.00
    Pub. No.: BU 3170

Christopher Tambling’s song arrangements, designed for flexible instrumentation, enjoy great . Here, from his estate, we present a work commissioned in 2012 to mark the 1,000th anniversary of Bamberg Cathedral, which was premiered during the pontifical mass held to celebrate the occasion. The through-composed arrangement can be performed with just the organ; ; only the string section or the full orchestra may be added. A rousing fanfare ritornello, together with the varied and charming treatment of the verses, creates a festive atmosphere that can make the work the musical highlight of any church service – especially when the congregation (ad lib.) joins in on individual verses.

Rathbone, George (1874–1951)
Erfreut euch im Herrn allzeit - Rejoice in the Lord alway

pdf for SATB and organ

    Choir score with organ €2.30
    Pub. No.: BU 3171

Anyone with a penchant for festive, powerful, even ‘majestic’ choral music of the Romantic period will, sooner or later, turn their attention (also) to England. And in doing so, they may discover this organ-accompanied motet of praise, which can be described as the prototype of an inspiring repertoire ‘ work”: uplifting, joyful motifs, an elegant harmonic structure, an ABA’ form with a middle section performed solely by soprano and bass, and, above all, a sublime sonority that the singers will celebrate and the audience will enjoy. A veritable hymn of praise to the glory of the Creator and for the joy of mankind!
With German and English text.

Wallrath, Klaus (*1959)
pdf Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht

for SATB(B) and organ (congregation ad lib.)

    Choral score with organ €1.30
    Pub. No.: BU 3177

Yet another choral arrangement of the world’s most famous Christmas carol? This one expands the existing ‘canon’ with a genuine alternative based on the following criteria: compositional mastery, deeply felt, heartfelt expression far removed from cloying sentimentality, ease of performance (a second bass part in the first verse is only required if it is sung a cappella) and, finally, congregational participation in the first and third verses, the latter being crowned by a four-part super-choir. For most churchgoers, ‘Silent Night’ is the highlight of congregational singing at Christmas Mass; this choral arrangement enhances it with style and resonance!

Basili, Francesco (1767–1850)
pdf Quem vidistis pastores – Sagt, ihr Hirten, wen habt ihr gesehen (First edition!)

Edited by Friedrich Hägele

for SATB (soli ad lib.) and organ

    Choral score with organ €2.30
    Pub. No.: BU 3169

Francesco Basili (Loreto, Milan, Rome) is one of the Italian composers who enjoyed immense popularity at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century – both in church music and opera circles – whose work, however, was quite unjustly consigned to oblivion in the 20th century. From his rich body of sacred vocal music, this first publication presents a Christmas responsory which, in delicate hues, depicts the dialogical sequence in which the shepherds recount the story of the newborn Saviour and the host of angels praising God, whilst & ‘bliss of thirds’ and a lulling 12/8 time signature do not disappoint the musical expectations of Christmas. This melodious, well over five-minute-long work is suitable for performances throughout the Christmas season; short, simple solo passages can be sung either as solos or by the whole choir. With Latin and German text.

Mayr, Simon (1763–1845)
pdf Christus natus est nobis – Christus ist uns geboren

(First edition!)

Edited by Friedrich Hägele

for soloists (SATB), SATB choir, orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet [B], 2 horns [F], strings) and organ

    Part: €22.00 / Choir part with soloists: €2.00
    Part set: €28.00 / Organ €4.00
    Pub. No.: BU 3173

Although the works of the German-Italian composer Johann Simon Mayr have enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, the majority of his significant output in the field of church music remains largely unexplored to this day. Following the distinctive „Salve Regina“ (BU 3049), another gem from his sacred vocal repertoire is presented here in its first publication: the Christmas motet “Christus natus est”, a joyful hymn of praise to the Creator who sent his Son and who keeps the earth and humanity safe in his hands. The work, in the late Classical style, is characterised by a cheerful and light-hearted Italian atmosphere. Soloists and choir create an enchanting dialogue, with the relatively brief choral part presenting no difficulties. This work, lasting a good six minutes, is a melodious addition to the rather limited Classical-era Christmas repertoire. With Latin and German text.

Die Erde sättigst du / Thou visitest the Earth

Arranged and edited by Tobias Bauer

for voices and organ (piano)
    Choral score with organ €2.00
    Pub. No.: BU 3176

The well-known English Baroque choral piece ‘Thou visitest the Earth’ can be associated thematically with the turn of the year (‘You fill the earth with blessings and crown the year with your goodness’), but as a general song of thanksgiving it is also suitable for use ‘all year round’. The original instrumentation for tenor solo, SATB and basso continuo has been superbly arranged for SABar and organ (piano), allowing the subtle individuality of the vocal parts to shine through clearly, whilst the vocal parts, in conjunction with the newly composed piano accompaniment, produce a well-balanced, rich sound. A stylish addition to the repertoire for all three-part choirs!

André Pirro - Dietrich Buxtehude

(Paris 1913) - German translation

Special edition within the ‘Buxtehude Studies’, Volume 6

Edited by Jürgen Heering and Matthias Schneider.

In liturgical practice, there is a constant need for festive organ pieces lasting between three and five minutes. Following two volumes of relevant compositions from the German Romantic period (BU 2335 and BU 2541), this volume presents a whole dozen further festive pieces which – continuing the tried-and-tested concept – are for the most part no longer available today and range in difficulty from easy to, at most, intermediate. All the pieces are suitable for a festive processional, as a postlude to a church service, but also as a brief highlight in a (Romantic) concert programme.

We present a work on Buxtehude that remains fundamental to this day, written in 1913 by the Parisian musicologist and pupil of César Franck, André Pirro (1869–1943), in a carefully curated German translation. It is an extremely detailed monograph on the life and work of Buxtehude.

Updates have been made, errors in the author’s text have been corrected, and reference numbers from modern catalogues of works by various composers have been added.

The translation follows the original closely, but is written in easy-to-understand language. 558 newly typeset musical examples and a facsimile enhance its practical value.

464 pages, hardcover, Landscape format, 30 × 21,5 cm.
