Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Oratorien [Bernius]

Carus’s complete recording of Felix Mendelssohn’s sacred choral works with Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart represents a magnificent act of interpretation and editing. This recording presents not only exemplary renditions of the oratorios Elijah and St. Paul, but also the remaining fragments of the oratorio Christus, which was left unfinished at the time of his death. Following the release of a box set with Mendelssohn’s smaller sacred choral works in 2012 [Carus 83.020], Carus now presents all of the oratorio recordings in a box set of 4 CDs.

The Companion CD of the Gregorian Chant collection [CV 19.007] presents a cross section of the collection, with special attention to combinations of chants with hymns and choral setting. CD and collection are also available as a set [CV 19.007/20].

Beethoven: Messe in C-Dur

The Kammerchor Stuttgart, under the direction of Frieder Bernius is one of the finest choirs worldwide. Their many prizewinning recordings have set a standard. Now Frieder Bernius presents Beethoven's "Missa in C major" [op. 86]. With its tonal language of subjective avowal, the first of Beethoven's two masses opens up new worlds of expression which are expressly modern and point towards the future. Not to be considered a preliminary work to the Missa solemnis, it is an entirely independent work which set standards for the further development of settings of the Mass in the 19th century. The world premiere recording of Luigi Cherubini's "Sciant gentes" [1829] rounds out this CD.

Geistliches Chorwerk : Bernius

The complete recording with Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart of Felix Mendelssohn’s sacred choral works represents a magnificent act of interpretation and editing. All of the motets, psalms, chorale cantatas, smaller church works, plus the symphony cantata Lobgesang from the award-winning recording are available for the first time in a box set of 10 CDs.

a cappella

For 40 years Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart have set standards in the historic performance practice of choral works. Many international awards bear witness to the high quality and the worldwide recognition of the choir and itsconductor. This CD presents a selection of their musical achievements, which include the impressive rediscovery of long forgotten works.

Bach: Drei Choräle zur Trauung

Among Johann Sebastian Bach’s largely unknown vocal works is a compilation of wedding chorales which have survived in an autograph set of parts from the 1730s. These are four-part chorale settings of well-known hymns for treble voices accompanied by two horns, colla-parte strings and continuo. The chorales can still be performed today at weddings without any great difficulty.

Special features of the new edition: Notation of the brass parts in short score with timpani · Cue notes, bar numbers, practical page turns · Indication of vocal and thematic entrances · Singing text set to the music at thematic entrances and in Colla-parte-passages as an aid to achieving a musically meaningful articulation · The edition has been prepared through a new study of the primary source[s] · Important information concerning individual works.

Any of the pieces, from the funny "Was denkt die Maus am Donnerstag?" to the thoughtful "So ein Tag" and the catchy "Die Schatzkiste" will be a thrilling addition to your program. You can pick and choose or perform them as a set [fast-slow-fast]. Who knows, maybe the mouse will find a treasure chest on such a Thursday...?

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart : Deutsches Nunc dimittis II - A Dorian - SWV 433

Schütz set the German Nunc dimittis, the canticle for liturgical Vespers, on the death of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I in 1656 “in two different ways” and had these printed. But unfortunately the 1st soprano part is lost. In this edition it has been reconstructed by Helmut Lauterwasser for the Stuttgart Schütz Edition. In another edition, Carus also offers the historic reconstruction of the part made by Heinrich von Herzogenberg in 1892 (available as Carus 20.433). Separate edition from Vol. 19 of the Stuttgart Schütz Edition (Complete Edition Carus 20.919).

Die Freude der Hirten über die Geburt Jesu : Weihnachtsoratorium

After the Passions-Cantate „Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld“ of 1775, the Christmas Oratorio is the second major vocal work by Homilius to appear in print during his lifetime. With an unusually large instrumental contingent, Homilius set the, at that time, much beloved pastoral theme of the shepherds in a most sophisticated manner. Each movement presents a clearly differentiated, atmospheric scene, distinct from all the other movements. This applies to the varied pastoral music, as well as to the representation of the mighty God by an angel, whose entrance is accompanied by trumpets and timpani.

Bach for Brass 2: Kantaten II

Bach for Brass contains Bach’s complete brass parts in seven volumes, set in generously engraved short scores designed for practical performance. The parts include measure numbers, helpful cues, timpani parts if applicable, as well as the most important information concerning origins, original instrument names in the sources, and much more. An instructive foreword in English and facsimiles complete the picture. These volumes, prepared by experienced musicologists and performers for the first time from the original scores and parts, aim to provide today’s musicians striving for an authentic interpretation of Bach’s works with reliable material for study, instruction, andconcert performance.

Calmus Christmas Carols [Chorbuch]

Calmus Christmas Carols is an anthology of thirteen challenging, mostly five-part settings [SSATB] for choirs and ensembles. In the production of its successful CD Calmus Christmas Carols [Carus 83.432], the Calmus Ensemble Leipzig set out to present well-known melodies in a fresh, colorful garb, thus bathing them in a new, charming light for the enjoyment of both singers and listeners. These arrangements are now being published as a volume of sheet music for choir. They make use of structures of both serious and popular music from various epochs. They are delightful and surprising at the same time.

Lieder mit Worten

Mendelssohn's well-known "Lieder ohne Worte" [Songs without words] have been arranged by Bernd Stegmann for mixed choir and organ. In the process he has set sacred texts to music. The melodies, often vocal in character, and the distinctive accompanying figures are sometimes simple, in one-part adopted from the model; at other times they are in a four to six-part choral setting, sometimes as a dialog of different groups or treated as polyphonic play using the building blocks of the original. Rich color and striking music is combined with profound texts which invite reflection as well as listening.

Bach for Brass 1: Kantaten I

Bach for Brass contains Bach’s complete brass parts in seven volumes, set in generously engraved short scores designed for practical performance. The parts include measure numbers, helpful cues, timpani parts if applicable, as well as the most important information concerning origins, original instrument names in the sources, and much more. An instructive foreword in English and facsimiles complete the picture.

Schubert: Messe in G [Carus Classics]

On the occasion of its 40th anniversary Carus has initiated a new series Carus Classics, featuring outstanding CD productions from the past library of recordings. This exclusive collection, designed by Friedrich Forssman and Cornelia Feyll, is presented in high-quality DigiPacs and each CD includes an extensive booklet. This recording of the Mass in G major is based on the Klosterneuburg score of an additional set of parts in Schuberts handwriting. These parts contain important notes dealing with performance practice and the scoring for strings and organ has been expanded through the inclusion of the original trumpet and timpani parts.

Kleinere Kirchenwerke : Bd 15 der Vierne-Gesamtausgabe

This volume contains the smaller sacred works for voice[s] and organ composed by Louis Vierne between 1886 and 1929. Thus the Carus edition of selected works by Louis Vierne is completed. In addition to the Messe solenelle [Carus 27.017] these are the only surviving liturgical works for voice by Vierne. The pieces with Latin text are easy to perform and fit well within the framework of worship services. The texts for the somewhat more demanding works set in French, Cantique Saint Louis de Gonzague and Les Angélus, are included in the edition in both German and English translations.

Henry Purcell: Love Songs

Pure listening pleasure: Next to Henry Purcell there is scarcely a composer in the history of music who knew how to set the English language in such an inspired and sensitive manner. Dorothee Mields and the Lautten Compagney, conducted by Wolfgang Katschner, have assembled a number of songs on the theme of love in its various facets: the spectrum ranges from feelings of wild, joyful, ebullience, to the plaintive, melancholy lament of love. Most of the titles on the CD are from the incidental music which Purcell wrote from 1680 to 1695 for theatrical plays which appeared on the stages of London.
