Writing the libretto himself based on historical sources, Mussorgsky's opera in five acts relates the 1682 rebellion of Prince Ivan Khovansky and the Old Believers against the regent Sofia Alekseyevna and the two young joint Tsars Peter the Great and Ivan V. As the work was almost wholly in piano score format when the composer died, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov undertook to complete, revise, and orchestrate the opera between 1881 and 1882. The world premiere of the Rimsky-Korsakov orchestration took place in St. Petersburg on February 21, 1886, presented by artists of the Russian Opera Society. The DANCE OF THE PERSIAN SLAVES occurs during Scene 1 of Act 4. Prince Khovansky is being entertained by the women of his retinue when a servant warns him of danger. He ignores the warning, has the servant flogged, then orders his Persian slaves to dance for him. The character Shaklovity then enters, stabs the prince to death. While most of the opera was orchestrated after Mussorgsky's death, Rimsky-Korsakov orchestrated this dance with Mussorgsky's approval in 1876.

It was even suggested that Kraft had composed the work himself, though a 1951 discovery of Haydn’s autograph score has put the theory to rest. Original advertisements for the work named James Cervetto as the soloist for the premier on March 14, 1784 in Hannover Square, London. This concerto is considered on the greatest works for cello of the classical era. Reprinted edition of the arrangement by Julius Klengel.Violoncello and Piano

5785549CD6FD-1DB5-4910-9DCF-9D35AF63E89CRMR8CBHungarian Fantasy: Andante and Hungarian RondoCarl Maria von Weber (1786 - 1826) grew up in a musical family that longed for him to be a musical prodigy like is relation (by marriage), W.A. Mozart. As a young man, he met famed clarinetist Heinrich Baermann, for whom he wrote several well-received clarinet solos. Baermann's colleague, bassoonist Georg Friedrich Brandt, besieged the composer for a work for bassoon, resulting in his "Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra in F" and this work. "Andante and Hungarian Rondo" were originally written as a viola solo to be played by Weber's brother Fritz. While the orchestration remained largely the same, Weber significantly reworked the solo to better suit the bassoon. This transcription maintains the virtues of the bassoon solo and translates the accompaniment to a symphonic band idiom.Concert Band

Born in Brno, the capital of Moravia in the Czech Republic, Schimmerling studied music at the University of Vienna and conducted the German Opera at Prague before travelling about the United States and other parts of Europe to serve as an accompanist and continue his education. While his parents were not so lucky, he escaped the Holocaust and settled in the United States more officially in 1944 after becoming a citizen. He wrote the cantata Humphrey Potter shortly before gaining his new citizenship. In it, the baritone sings as the titular character, long dead. He remembers how in his youth as an orphan, he worked in a factory managing valves. Wanting to play with his friends, he took a piece of string from his pocket to tie about the valves. The invention worked so well that it was adopted and used in all engines. But Humphrey Potter was no longer needed and was dismissed from the factory, where the lyrics imagine he became a smelly “friendless dirty drunkard,” and eventually buried in a Potter’s field, left destitute by his own ingenuity.2(2ndsubPicc).2(2ndsubEH).2(2ndsubBCl).2: 2.2.2.0: Timp.Perc: Harp.Clst: Str

579254b48632-9e3c-11f0-a418-0022482c9682W727291Nabucco (Complete Opera)NABUCCO, a retelling of the biblical story of Jewish exile under the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, was Giuseppe Verdi’s (1813-1901) first major operatic success, and was written reluctantly, following a difficult period in the composer’s life. Having lost his young wife, Margherita, in the summer of 1840, and seeing his second opera, UN GIORNO DI REGNO, fail disastrously, closing after only a single performance in September 1840, Verdi was left understandably depressed and prepared to give up on music altogether. However, Bartolomeo Merelli, who ran the famed Milan opera house, La Scala, urged Verdi to write another opera. Verdi wrote Nabucco in 1841, and it was an instant commercial and critical success upon its premiere in 1842. Vocal score.

Having signed a new contract in 1779 that gave him the freedom to accept commissions from other patrons and keep the profits from the sale of his work, he struck up a relationship with the new music publishing firm Artaria. It was to this firm that he sold his last keyboard concerto, and it has since become the one performed most frequently. The final Rondo all’Ungherese, despite the suggestion of Hungarian influence in its name, instead makes use of a Croatian folk song.

A work written in a sonoristic technique with a focus on timbre, texture, articulation, dynamics, motion, and effects unique to the instruments, Penderecki said of the work, "it existed only in my imagination, in a somewhat abstract way." Upon hearing an actual performance, he noted, "I was struck by the emotional charge of the work… I searched for associations and, in the end, I decided to dedicated it to the Hiroshima victims." Excerpts from the work have been used in such films as THE EXORCIST (1973), THE SHINING (1980), CHILDREN OF MEN (2006), and in the 2017 TV series TWIN PEAKS.String Orchestra (24Vn.10Va.10Vc.8CB)

Psalm 150, the final psalm in the Book of Psalms, features a call to praise God in music, and it has served as inspiration for numerous other composers. Written in 1883, it is among Franck's later works, with the actual publication taking place after his death, and it was commissioned by the Institut national des jeunes aveugles, an institution for young blind people, in celebration of the installation of their new organ, an instrument that features prominently in the work.
