109219f02f104-9e3a-11f0-a418-0022482c9682A904402Edgar: Act I, Prelude [1892 version]Hoping to repeat the success of his first opera LE VILLI, the publisher Ricordi commissioned Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) to write EDGAR, SC 62, based on a libretto by Ferdinando Fontana after Alfred de Musset’s play La Coupe et les lèvres. The poor reception of the original four-act version persuaded Puccini to revise it twice over the course of two years, the second being a shortened three-act version. The last revision came in 1905, at which point, Puccini gave up trying to correct what he perceived to be the dramatic flaws in the work. The story depicts the Flemish knight Edgar who spurns the love of the virtuous Fidelia and elopes with her adopted sister, the sensuous Tigrana. The 2nd edition was produced in 1892 and was the first version to be reduced to three acts. This version of the Prelude to Act I comes from that year.

109229F07E383-C411-4AF1-A330-FB181AAE60CFA134002Symphony No. 3 in F, Op. 90Six years after the completion of his second symphony, Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) crafted his SYMPHONY NO. 3 IN F MAJOR, Op. 90 while residing at Wiesbaden, a town nestled on the banks of the Rhine. The work opens with a three-chord motif which his biographer Max Kalbeck interpreted to represent the composer’s musical motto frei aber froh (free but happy). Allusions to water are woven into the first movement; a near-quotation of the Siren’s Chorus from Wagner’s TANNHAUSER and a paraphrase of a song by Liszt about the famous Lorelei rock which overlooks the Rhine. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra gave the first performance on December 2, 1883 under the baton of Hans Richter. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2+CBsn: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).

109249F0AF102-8A96-417D-A63D-858DF839B248A289002Songs to Poems by Rueckert; No. 4: Um Mitternacht, high voice (B minor, transposed)Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) composed Songs to Poems by Rueckert (Songs after Rückert; Rückert-Lieder) between 1901 and 1902. They were not conceived of as a cycle, with each song only connected by the poet Friedrich Rückert and the themes. But they were published together, first as Sieben Lieder aus letzter Zeit (Seven Songs of Latter Days) with two additional Mahler songs, then with only the five songs. They have simply come to be known as Rückert-Lieder and are now most frequently performed together, although Mahler did set other Rückert poems aside from these five. Mahler orchestrated the first four songs himself, while the fifth song, Liebst du um Schönheit, was orchestrated after Mahler's death by Max Puttmann. The fourth song, Um Mitternacht (At midnight hour), was written in the summer of 1901, and it premiered among the other first four songs on January 29th, 1905, in Vienna, Mahler conducting. While the other four songs are more lyrical, the fourth stands out as a more austere symphonic ode, with hymn-like settings for the orchestra that include broad contrapuntal lines and a grand brass chorale. Versions in A minor, B minor, and G minor are available from the publisher.

109329F2AF8EA-7367-4EE1-9202-19F6DFD25CC8S11200524 Progressive Studies for Flute (Urtext Edition with Flute 2 Part), Op. 33A logical and thoughtful addition to the previously published 24 Etudes, Op. 15 of Joachim Andersen edited by Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn, the Op. 33 set of 24 Etudes explores and solidifies the rudimentary building blocks found in Andersen's earlier opus.

In this present edition, Professor Carol Wincenc and Bryan Wagorn continued in the tradition of Marcel Moyse, a pivotal mentor of Professor Wincenc. As a young boy, Moyse played for Andersen himself. In lessons, Moyse would accompany the student in these etudes by creating a counterpoint to the original study, often vocally improvising melodies and or lyrics. This edition contains a flute 2 part with counterpoint inspired by Moyse.		Flute solo with teacher duet part

The Americana stage is set for seasoned ensembles, employing staccato, shifting to 5th position, creating a broad pitch range, pizzicato, syncopation and a key change moving seamlessly from D major to G Major, while each instrument carries the melody and counter melody. This arrangement is a must-have in your library for recruitment, Veterans Day, Flag Day, the 4th of July, or just because it creatively rounds out your next concert.String Orchestra
