Dear readers,

The composer and conductor Ko Matsushita is hugely popular all over the world. Many of his works are already available in our music catalog, and this month we are releasing a CD featuring Matsushita’s sacred works for a cappella chorus recorded by the KammerChor Saarbrücken conducted by Georg Grün. Enjoy listening!.

 

Puccini’s famous Messa a 4 voci, also known as "Messa di Gloria", is available to download in carus music, the choir app at our special offer price until the end of October. Those who prefer practising with CD can do this with the new Carus Choir Coach for this work.

NEW SEPARATE EDITIONS

Fauré: Shorter sacred music for choir and ensembles

All the works in the Gabriel Fauré Complete edition of the shorter sacred music for choir and ensembles are now also available in separate editions. Without doubt, the Cantique de Jean Racine for four-part mixed chorus and organ is his most popular work, but the other choral compositions are no less effective.

 

You can find the separate editions via the product page for the collection. Under “Product information” and “Content” you can go directly to the desired movement and order it by clicking on the music symbol. › See Collection

CONTEMPORARY CHORAL MUSIC

Buchenberg: Tombeau de Josquin Desprez (O mors inevitabilis)

 

The 16-part Tombeau de Josquin Desprez, with text taken from the inscription on a gravestone in St. Gudula, Brussels, is a study of Josquin’s polyphony. Over its course, the piece increasingly approaches Josquin’s tonal language, leading up to a couple of measures which are actually by him, before drifting away again.

 

As well as this, this month we have more new publications for you in our contemporary choral music range by Vytautas Miškinis, Ko Matsushita, Harald Banter and Fredo Jung.

MY FAVORITE SCHÜTZ

Schütz: Sei gegrüßet, Maria SWV 333, from: Kleine Geistliche Konzerte II

The works by Schütz which Werner Breig most admires include the sacred concerto “Sei gegrüßet, Maria”. Schütz undoubtedly entered the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice countless times, and anyone who entered it immediately saw Jacopo Tintoretto’s painting of the Annunciation. Did this image have a lasting impression on Schütz and his composition?
