The Dylan Thomas poem “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” was the motivation for this musical composition. While not a programmatic depiction of the poem, the work attempts to recreate the essence of the poem in sound. The opening motive, representative of the life force, permeates much of the work. The use of sound layers – in the form of polytonal hymns – calls to mind the struggles and persistence of the human spirit and its refusal to “go gentle.” A substantial and dramatic work for mature ensembles. Dur: 11:15 (Grade 5)

Already in his early youth, Mozart made his first forays into the genre of the string quartet, the supreme discipline in chamber music. The three three-movement works K. 136–138, which he designated “Divertimento”, are dated “Salisburgo 1772” in the autograph, but were presumably conceived earlier while on a concert tour under the Italian sun. They do not yet display the “erudite” four-partwriting that Joseph Haydn was perfecting at the same time, but instead strike a cheerful, playful serenade tone with mostly song-like upper voice and accompanying lower voices.
The fact that Mozart designated the lowest voice not as “Violoncello” but as “Basso” and also used the plural “Viole” for the viola part suggests that he certainly had in mind more than one instrument on a part here. In this form for small string orchestra, the three so-called “Salzburg Divertimenti” are still perennial evergreens today. Edited by Mozart expert Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, this practice-oriented chamber orchestra edition offers a verified musical text on the basis of the autograph sources. – An edition for string quartet is also available.

Chopin's works for piano and strings were usually made for a specific occasion, and we owe their existence to the repertoire needs of specific individuals. The exception is the Sonata in G minor for cello, the last work by the composer intended for publication, a work reflecting his current style, highly reflective, the result of imagination encroaching into post-romantic areas. Chopin's chamber works belong to the regular concert repertoire. These works were edited by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski, and J. Turczynski.

The model for this composition was Beethoven's Septet op. 20, whose Divertimento character and six-part layout were adopted by Schubert, although he merely expanded the instrumentation by adding a second violin. In a letter he numbered his octet amongst the chamber music works with which he desired to blaze a “path to the great symphony.” It can no longer be ascertained whether the composition was commissioned by Count Ferdinand Troyer, who had a musical salon in Vienna and played the clarinet. We only know that Schubert composed the work at the beginning of 1824, taking only a few weeks to do so and that it was shortly performed at Troyer's afterwards. Today it is one of the most popular larger chamber music works.

“Send my septet out into the world a little faster – because the rabble is awaiting it”. It was thus that Beethoven bade his publisher make haste in 1802. The public did not take offence at this rather derogatory term: Today the Septet op. 20 for Wind and Strings is one of the most popular chamber music works for a larger ensemble, together with Schubert's Octet. Our edition follows the musical text which will soon appear in the Beethoven Complete Edition. For Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass.

In June 1905, Ravel told a friend shortly before setting off on a long holiday: “I was terribly busy because of a piece for harp commissioned by the Érard company. I was able to finish it after a fashion, thanks to 8 days of dogged work and three sleepless nights.” But the piece itself shows nothing of the haste in which it was written. In fact, it seems as if Ravel knew how to explore all the musical possibilities of the harp in this brief, but highly striking piece. This septet with its unusual combination of instruments is a further enrichment of Henle's Urtext editions of Ravel's chamber music.

It is hardly surprising that Beethoven did not write any more chamber music for winds after 1800. Following the change to middle-class musical culture, demand declined for buoyant serenades and divertimenti intended for court circles – a genre that Beethoven had reservations about as it was. Composed in 1795 with no known occasion in mind, his Sextet op. 81b is thus all the more remarkable, standing out on account of the unusual virtuosity of the horn parts. Our edition is the first to provide the bass part as originally intended by Beethoven: for violoncello supported by a double bass. In addition to the original horn parts in E flat, it also contains transposed parts in F.

When he was a mere 18 years old, Richard Strauss composed the highly Romantic, one-movement Serenade for Wind Instruments, op. 7. Extremely popular among wind players to this day, this work recalls in instrumentation and structure Mozart's “Gran Partita,” which certainly served as a model for Strauss. The serenade was not premiered in its Bavarian homeland as might have been expected, but rather in Dresden, in 1882, under the direction of the then much-esteemed conductor Franz Wüllner, who had also given the inaugural performances of Richard Wagner's Rheingold and Die Walküre and later premiered Strauss' tone poems Till Eulenspiegel and Don Quixote. So it was a great honour for the young Bavarian! Editor Norbert Gertsch presents this little masterwork here for the first time in Urtext quality - in full score and instrumental parts - for which not just the first edition but also the autograph manuscript was scrutinised fastidiously.

The SACRED SERVICE was written for the rededication of the temple at Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, where David Schiff's wife served as cantor. It was commissioned by the family of Arlene Schnitzer, whose name is on the concert hall where the Oregon Symphony performs. The work premiered on Friday evening, December 2, 1983, with then Senator Robert Packwood speaking. It was also the third night of Chanukah, so the service included liturgy for both the sabbath and the holiday. Schiff chose not to write a symphonic work like the Bloch SACRED SERVICE, but rather composed music for congregational use. While the entire service could be performed as a concert work, it is more in the spirit of the work to see it as a collection of prayer settings which could be used in different services. Scored for cantor, choir, organ, flute, clarinet, trumpet and string quartet, most of the movements could be performed just with an organ or piano accompaniment. SACRED SERVICE's vocal score can be purchased, and performance of any of songs are encouraged in service or concert in any number and any order. The work is also available for rental if that is preferred by nsembles.
