Written while the composer was employed at the Court at Cöthen and dedicated to Christan Ludwig of Brandenburg, Bach's six Brandenburg Concertos are staples of the Baroque orchestral repertoire. The sixth concerto stands out with its unique instrumentation - two violas, two violas da gamba, violoncello, and double bass with cembalo continuo. With no violins, the violas take centre stage. Edited by prominent violist and arranger Watson Forbes, this edition keeps the two viola parts exactly as they appear in the score, while the other orchestral parts have been freely arranged for piano accompaniment. So far as the two solo viola parts are concerned, this is a performing edition which can be played either with the piano reduction or with the full instrumentation.Brandenburgisches Konzert Nr. 6 in B-Dur BWV 1051Bachs sechs Brandenburgische Konzerte, die er während seiner Tätigkeit am Köthener Hof schrieb und Christian Ludwig von Brandenburg widmete, gehören zum festen Bestandteil des barocken Orchesterrepertoires. Das sechste Konzert zeichnet sich durch seine einzigartige Besetzung aus - zwei Bratschen, zwei Gamben, Violoncello und Basso continuo bestehend aus Kontrabass und Cembalo. Da keine Geigen vorgesehen sind, stehen hier die Bratschen im Mittelpunkt. In der vorliegenden Bearbeitung für 2 Bratschen und Klavier, hrsg. von dem bekannten Bratschisten und Arrangeur Watson Forbes, entsprechen die beiden Bratschenstimmen exakt der Orchesterpartitur, während die anderen Orchesterstimmen frei in die Klavierbegleitung eingeflossen sind. Für die beiden Solobratschenstimmen bietet diese praktische Ausgabe die Möglichkeit, entweder den Klavierauszug oder das Aufführungsmaterial der vollen Orchesterbesetzung zu verwenden.

The Errollyn Wallen Songbook showcases 12 of the most celebrated songs by a composer who has been called the 'renaissance woman of contemporary British music' (The Observer). These songs span the widest range of emotions - from the exuberance of What's up Doc? to the essential truths of Guru and the earth-shattering Daedalus. The songs in this book appeal to all singers, whether pop, jazz or classically trained. Stripped to the essentials - voice and piano - these songs are a treasure chest for anyone interested in the art of song. 'All these songs were written from my heart and in a state of grace. At last they have made the journey from my battered manuscript sketchbook where they were often feverishly scribbled down. I am very pleased to be able to share them in this book. Improvisation is an important characteristic of my performances. In some songs in this book I have retained elements of my own style of improvisation, particularly in the piano solos and in some vocal lines. In others I have given a bare skeleton, designed to act as a springboard for flights of fancy. I encourage the performer, whether from a pop, classical, folk or jazz background, to feel free to imbue their performances of this music with their own creative spirit.' Errollyn Wallen'...a genuine creative figure - a real composer - someone who is not afraid to take risks in her music - I don't know of any other composer around today with anything like the same outlook as Wallen...' International Record Review

This edition, based on the one in "The Art of French Song", presents Faure's arguably most famous song Aprés un rêve, prepared by the French music expert Roger Nichols, in an extremely practical publication: in three alternative keys for high, medium and low voices, C minor (the original key), D minor and Bb minor. As documented in the preface, recordings made by singers who worked with Faure define a more ardent, urgent tempo and mood than we may be used from later performances.Faures wohl berühmtestes Lied Aprés un rêve erscheint hier mit drei  Stimmlagen in einem Heft: für hohe, mittlere und tiefe Stimme in den Tonarten c-Moll (original), d-Moll und b-Moll. Die Noten basieren auf der Urtext-Ausgabe "The Art of French Song", herausgegeben von Roger Nichols. Aus dem Vorwort wird ersichtlich, dass die Sänger, die mit Fauré persönlich zusammengearbeitet hatten, das Werk durchaus in schnellerem Tempo und mit mehr Temperament aufführten als heute üblich. Mit französischem und dem toskanischen Originaltext.
