Schumann's Cello Concerto Rediscovered.In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann's original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 - a piece he actually called a 'Concertstück' - removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer's manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiellöska in Kraków. It is presented in a beautifully printed edition for cello with Schumann's original piano reduction. Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann's original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Matching orchestral material available separately from Edition Peters Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from DuttonRobert Schumann's tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann's original conception of the work - not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann's health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists.Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellöska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann's original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann's original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann's musical text, free of posthumous interventions. It is presented in a beautifully printed edition for cello, with Schumann's original piano reduction. Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher.'My ultimate wish,' says the editor, 'is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character - one that is lighter and happier, even "cheerful", as Schumann himself described the work.'

Salut d'amour Op. 12, arranged for piano solo by Edward Elgar. This Urtext edition is edited by Donald Burrows.Salut d'amour was a considerable success in Elgar's lifetime. Originally composed for violin and piano, he subsequently incorporated the violin melody into this piano arrangment, resulting in a technically challenging but satisfying piece that requires some dexterity from the player. Salut d'amour (Liebesgruß, op. 12), bearbeitet für Klavier solo von Edward Elgar. Diese Ausgabe wurde von Donald Burrows herausgegeben.Salut d'amour war zu Elgars Lebzeiten ein beachtlicher Erfolg.

The Errollyn Wallen Songbook showcases 12 of the most celebrated songs by a composer who has been called the 'renaissance woman of contemporary British music' (The Observer). These songs span the widest range of emotions - from the exuberance of What's up Doc? to the essential truths of Guru and the earth-shattering Daedalus. The songs in this book appeal to all singers, whether pop, jazz or classically trained. Stripped to the essentials - voice and piano - these songs are a treasure chest for anyone interested in the art of song. 'All these songs were written from my heart and in a state of grace. At last they have made the journey from my battered manuscript sketchbook where they were often feverishly scribbled down. I am very pleased to be able to share them in this book. Improvisation is an important characteristic of my performances. In some songs in this book I have retained elements of my own style of improvisation, particularly in the piano solos and in some vocal lines. In others I have given a bare skeleton, designed to act as a springboard for flights of fancy. I encourage the performer, whether from a pop, classical, folk or jazz background, to feel free to imbue their performances of this music with their own creative spirit.' Errollyn Wallen'...a genuine creative figure - a real composer - someone who is not afraid to take risks in her music - I don't know of any other composer around today with anything like the same outlook as Wallen...' International Record Review

This edition, based on the one in "The Art of French Song", presents Faure's arguably most famous song Aprés un rêve, prepared by the French music expert Roger Nichols, in an extremely practical publication: in three alternative keys for high, medium and low voices, C minor (the original key), D minor and Bb minor. As documented in the preface, recordings made by singers who worked with Faure define a more ardent, urgent tempo and mood than we may be used from later performances.Faures wohl berühmtestes Lied Aprés un rêve erscheint hier mit drei  Stimmlagen in einem Heft: für hohe, mittlere und tiefe Stimme in den Tonarten c-Moll (original), d-Moll und b-Moll. Die Noten basieren auf der Urtext-Ausgabe "The Art of French Song", herausgegeben von Roger Nichols. Aus dem Vorwort wird ersichtlich, dass die Sänger, die mit Fauré persönlich zusammengearbeitet hatten, das Werk durchaus in schnellerem Tempo und mit mehr Temperament aufführten als heute üblich. Mit französischem und dem toskanischen Originaltext.

A diptych by poet Mary Jo Salter, the text of Fred Hersch's Two Haiku compares the fleeting span of a life to the turning of the seasons. In addition to painting the words of these brief stanzas with rich chromatic harmonies, Hersch's six-minute score calls upon the singers to illustrate the themes of the haiku with the sounds of whistled birdsong and unvoiced breaths.Dedicated to the memory of musician and educator Steve Zegree, this eight-part choral setting was commissioned for vocal octet Roomful of Teeth by Ryan McNaughton and premiered at the 2017 Ecstatic Music Festival. Composed for Roomful of Teeth Text by Mary Jo Salter Uses whistling and audible breathing Challenging 8-part mixed choral piece Driven by rich chromatic harmonies

Shawn Okpebholo's Heritage, in the Edition Peters Concert Band Series, evokes moods, events and sounds (including West African drumming and indigenous melodies) from an ethnomusicological research visit the composer undertook to Nigeria. One of the primary musical themes of the work is an adaptation of a song that comes from the Esan people, a small ethnic group in the southern part of Nigeria and the tribe to which the composer has deep historical and family ties.The Esan language is poetic in nature and, at various moments in the work, the musicians chant the text from an Esan song: Ekine leleyea do obhimen la doeki nalo (My investment in you is paid off. Because of your hard work, your future is bright).Heritage is a revised version of a work previously entitled This is Africa, which was commissioned by Professor Marcellus Brown and the Boise State University Symphonic Winds for the 2011 National CBDNA Convention and is dedicated to the memory of Dr Harry Begian.

O Salutaris Hostia is one of Eriks Esenvalds' most popular pieces. Originally written for female voices, the composer later created a version for full choir on which this arrangement is based. It has a gentle meditation with the two soloists drifting across the soft band accompaniment, alternately echoing and imitating each other or joining together in thirds. The effect is quietly ecstatic, a brief moment of adoration and wonderment. This arrangement can be played with either two cornets or two euphoniums as soloists as the accompaniment works just as effectively with either.Brings contemporary choral repertoire by a leading international composer to the band world.Arrangement of Eriks Ešenvalds' highly successful choral piece 'O Salutaris Hostia'.Arranged by brass band specialist Phillip Littlemore.Part of EP Brass Band SeriesMeditative, beautiful piece, highly attractive for audiences, and proven success as a choral work.Suitable for intermediate band at 2nd Section and above.

Only in Sleep is a nostalgic vision of childhood re-experienced through dreams. ¿riks Ešenvalds has created a work of subtlety, yet powerful and expressive. The music has an incandescent freshness and the Flugel Horn soloist heard at the opening returns at the close, lost in reverie, whilst florid arabesques float over one last pair of chordal oscillations, winding down to nothing.

The Sleeping Soul is an atmospheric five-minute piece for SATB choir with organ, at times evoking the mystery of the text and at other moments expressing joy contained in it.

The work sets a text by the Christian medieval mystic St Mechthild of Magdeburg (c.1207-c.1297).
