Requiem in C major : First edition - C major

Johann Adolf Hasse, Kapellmeister at the Saxon-Polish court in Dresden, composed the Requiem in C for the ceremonial exequies of the deceased Elector Frederic August II in November 1763 in the Catholic Hofkirche in Dresden. With this work, he composed a monument in music to his long-standing, generous employer, who was also King of Poland under the name August III: passionate choral movements, echoes of historic compositional styles, expressive vocal solos and arias undeniably revealing Hasse the opera composer, plus trumpets and timpani in the orchestra – all these are the ingredients of a “royal” Requiem Mass in the style of a Missa solemnis. - First edition- Passionate choral movements of medium difficulty- Expressive vocal soli- “Royal” Requiem Mass in the style of a Missa solemnisAdditional program suggestion: Miserere in C minor by Hasse (Carus 40.961)

Luigi Cherubini: Requiem in c : c-Moll

Cherubini’s Requiem in C minor for mixed choir [without vocal soloists] and orchestra, which is presented here in a critical new edition, is among the most significant contributions to this genre in the 19th century. It was composed in Paris in 1816 and within a short time it became well known. Musicians such as Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms held it in high esteem because of the work’s superior compositional construction, orchestration, mastery of form and the balance in proportion between text and music.

Johann Adolf Hasse: Requiem in C

As a composer Johann Adolf Hasse [1699 1783] was the uncontested idol of the late baroque era. Although today he is known primarily as an opera composer, he left behind numerous excellent sacred works. At last, the sacred music he composed for the court of Dresden is being made accessible in recorded form. As in the case of the CD containing Hasse’s Requiem in E flat major and Miserere in D minor [Carus 83.175], winner of several prestigious awards, once again the Dresdener Kammerchor and the Dresdner Barockorchester, under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann have devoted the present CD to a recording of Hasse’s Requiem in C major and the Miserere in C minor: this might alsobe a candidate for a some awards.

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.

32 Praeludia zu geistlichen Liedern : für zwei Claviere und Pedal

After moving to his position at the Dresdner Kreuzkantorat, which meant the end of his career as an organist, Homilius compiled 32 of his Chorale preludes for organ and offered them for sale to be disseminated as handwritten copies. For the first time this collection is published here in its entirety and in the original sequence of the preludes. Homilius shows that on the one hand he was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, while on the other he followed his own stylistic paths. Thus, for example, he employs extensively the traditional form of the chorale trio, but treads new territory in the harmonic realm. With this volume those seeking a rewarding enrichment ofchorale-based organ music will find what they are looking for.

Missa in c : Ergänzt und herausgegeben von Robert D. Levin

Mozart’s Mass in C minor K.427, the “Große Messe,” is a torso a circumstance which, in view of the monumentality of the work, is truly unfortunate. The American musicologist and internationally acclaimed concert pianist, Robert D. Levin has reconstructed and completed the Mass, which occupies an outstanding position among Mozart’s church music. In honor of Mozart’s 250th birthday Carus-Verlag Stuttgart is publishing this important reconstruction and thus this central work of church music will now be available in a form which is liturgically complete. Its length now fills out a complete concert. [Of course, one may also perform the work's torso with this edition.]
