Brand new in January 2012:
Benedetto Marcello: Pecorelle che pascete
Cantata for soprano voice, alto recorder and b.c.
Edited by Enrico Zanoni
Realization of the thorough bass by Eckhart Kuper
Draft of this edition is an anonymous manuscript entitled "Cantata a flauto solo". Some research brought to daylight that this cantata was composed by Benedetto Marcello which survived as a two part version for soprano voice and b.c. in several manuscript sources. Although there is no absolute evidence, it is not uncertain that Marcello himself added the recorder part to his two part version of the cantata since he was familiar with the recorder to which he already dedicated his Suonate a flauto solo con il suo basso continuo Op. 2, Venezia 1712.
G 11.014, score and parts
New in October/November 2011:
Nicola Fiorenza: Concerto F minor
for alto recorder, solo violin, strings and b.c.
Edited by Valentina Bellanova and Ulrich Thieme
I am happy to present the first edition of this splendid, virtuoso and varied original recorder concerto. The instrumentation featuring an additional solo violin is most unusual and renders the recorder concert repertoire a novel and thus valuable contribution. The constant tempo changes in the 1st movement, long virtuoso passages in the 2nd movement, melodious lines in the 3rd movement and the dance-like character of the 4th movement are the distinctive features of this extraordinary discovery.
G 12.026, score and parts
Tochter Zion, freue dich
20 Christmas Carols for 2 alto recorders and organ (piano)
arranged by Lothar Graap
This edition contains 20 of the most beautiful and most popular Christmas carols, e.g. "Ich steh’ an deiner Krippen hier" and "We wish you a Merry Christmas". The church musician Lothar Graap introduces all his arrangements with a short prelude and some with a closing section. They are most suitable for performance in church, Christmas celebrations, music within the family circle, at school and for recitals.
G 21.005, score and parts
New in February 2011:
W. Topham: Three sonatas for alto recorder and b.c.
Three of Topham’s twelve sonatas for recorder and B.c. from his op. 2 published around 1706 are compiled in this edition. This is English recorder music of the Baroque era at its finest! The melodic rich and rhythmically diverse upper part is juxtaposed by a well designed and often imitating bass line. Characteristic of the sonatas is the slightly melancholy and ever so delightful style of the British Isles.
G 12.028, score and parts
R. Lischka: Exactly!, for recorder quartet (SATB)
After the big success of his "Kleine Abendgesellschaft" (Small Evening Party, G 12.031) Rainer Lischka has composed yet another entertaining work: a suite of five movements, this time for recorder quartet. It is great fun practising and performing these rhythmical and varied movements. They are also a good exercise in precise ensemble playing and reacting to one another. The composer has spiced the suite with a good portion of humour and allusions to Latin-American music.
Rainer Lischka was professor for composition at the music academy Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden and was awarded with many prizes for his work.
G 12.033, playing score
