Handel's Coronation Anthems were composed rapidly from September to October of 1727, while new in his post as the director of the Chapel Royal. The occasion was the coronation of the new king, George II, on October 22, 1727. The performance featured the vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra under the composer's direction in Westminster Abbey. The anthems soon became popular and were subsequently used on other ceremonial events. Zadok the Priest has been performed at every single English coronation since the 1727 premiere.

Handel's Coronation Anthems were composed from September to October of 1727, only four years in his post as composer of music for the Chapel Royal. The occasion was the coronation of the new king, George II, on October 22, 1727. The performance featured the Chapel Royal vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra under the composer's direction in Westminster Abbey. The anthems soon became popular and were subsequently used for other ceremonial events. Handel's four anthems have been performed at every single English coronation since the 1727 premiere. The King Shall Rejoice was the third one performed in 1727 as in more recent years.

From the tortured soul of Robert Schumann came the music that practically launched the Romantic Era. A firm believer in music's ability to capture and express feelings, thoughts, and emotions, Schumann poured his heart into every note he composed. The very definition of a Romantic, Schumann created a majority of his piano compositions for his beloved wife, the renowned pianist Clara Schumann. Another of his most famous pieces, Album for the Young, was composed in honor of the couple's three (a number that soon swelled to seven) children. In an era that included names like Brahms, Schubert, Wagner, and Chopin, Robert Schumann's emotionally-charged music lifted him into the pantheon of great composers. Nearly his entire catalogue is represented in this newly-reissued edition, including: - Album for the Young - Selected Works - Sonatas - Selected Masterpieces 1 & 2 - Virtuoso Music

This book addresses death and grief from a child's perspective. It is unique in that it has been co-authored by a twelve year old 'expert' and a professional counselor in the field of death and grief. The text suggests unique and effective ways to handle the crisis that death can bring by focusing on developing a process of remembering. It does not rely on the usual clich s of grief counseling. Instead, it offers a life-affirming approach that assists children to navigate through challenging times when a loved one dies.

My Grandmother is Always With Me is intended for children aged six to twelve with ages seven, eight and nine being the optimal age group. The book is a guide for children in this age range, but is also useful as a resource for parents and adults who are supporting children who have experienced the death of a loved one. It is a story of a child remembering a loved one who has died. Although it is specific to one child's story of her grandmother whom she never met, the text and illustrations offer constructive suggestions for many other children to step into the process of remembering a loved one who has died. The book is also intended to be a stimulus for parents to initiate helpful conversations with their children about their grandparents, or others, who are dying or have died. Such conversations are often sensitive ones that parents struggle to know how to initiate. This book gives them an easy way to do so through the medium of story.

The Concept of My Grandmother is Always With Me:

Even though this book is written for children, there is an implicit critical edge to the words and the illustrations. The text embodies some practices that challenge dominant assumptions in grief theory and render them, in many cases, largely redundant. Typical daily conversations that parents and adults engage in with children about death can limit a child's meaning about death and bereavement. Conversations that might encourage a child to feel sad or say good bye to a dying loved one, for example, might even stunt the growth of a child's understanding of the multiple layers of meaning that death can bring. These conversations can, we believe, take a different course if we approach them from a storied sense. This children's book will highlight the benefits of this approach in a way that children and adults who read the book can access easily. The text is accompanied by beautiful collages to highlight how remembering practices can have a strong impact in people's lives by easing people's passage through times of transition that death brings.

My Grandmother is Always With Me is about the importance of maintaining relationship with a person after they have died through remembering. The book is intended to complement the professional literature and act as a conduit for lay people to benefit from new ideas that have recently been developed in the grief counseling field. . This book is not, however, about any old idea of remembering. It is not, for example, about reminiscing. Rather, it is about the deliberate re-construction of ongoing 'membership'. Even after death, a deceased person's membership in a child's life can be re-membered in ways that children find comforting and sustaining. Current dominant psychological and medical ideas about death, dying and grief can be argued to emphasize and even prolong suffering. They appear to create perplexing, and potentially harmful, positions for a child attempting to make sense out of death. The stress on speaking about sadness leaves children to often wallow in an emotional quagmire much longer than is necessary. The text of My Grandmother is Always With Me offers new opportunity for parents and children to effectively create ways of interacting without placing undue emphasis on feelings of sadness following the death of a loved one. The focus on remembering opens up opportuni

Strauss' opera was originally composed to serve as a kind of an added commentary to a 1912 performance of Moliere's classic play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (in German translation), for which he also provided incidental music. This unusual premiere took place in Stuttgart in October of 1912 but was not well-received. After a couple of additional unsuccessful performances, Strauss and Hofmannsthal (who wrote the libretto for the opera) decided to add a prologue to the opera to explain how the classical Greek tragedy ended up mixed with a farce set in Paris performed by a commedia dell'arte troupe. This is the version performed today, and its premiere took place in Vienna's Hofoper on October 4, 1916 with Franz Schalk conducting the cast and orchestra.

Offered here is a beautifully reproduced facsimile of the vocal score arranged by Otto Singer which was published in 1916 by the Berlin firm Adolf Fürstner. Unlike so many reprints one encounters these days, this one has been very carefully checked to make sure the entire work is present. To enhance its usefulness for performers, students and those interested in opera, it has also been printed in a very readable A4 (8.27 x 11.69) format.

Holst's popular suite was named for the St. Paul's Girls' School of Hammersmith, London - where he was the music director from 1904 until his death thirty years later. Composed in 1912 as a token of gratitude for the installation of a sound-proof teaching studio, where Holst composed this and nearly all subsequent works. The four movement suite was also premiered at St. Paul's by the school orchestra under Holst's direction in the winter months of 1913.

Not long after the premiere, the school purchased wind instruments, resulting in the addition of parts for flutes, oboe, clarinets and horn to the original string orchestra setting. The premiere date of this amended setting is unknown but the extra parts seem to have been added by 1920. Clark McAlister's new edition the setting with winds is based on the composer's manuscript, which differs in several respects from the string orchestra setting published in 1922. McAlister's score was first issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Serenissima is proud to make this outstanding work available and is now the exclusive publisher for not only the study score offered here but the large score and orchestra parts.

Prokofiev started work on his first numbered symphony in the later half of 1916, composing the bulk of it while on a country holiday to escape the street fighting in Petrograd during the February revolution, finally completing the work on September 10, 1917. Inspired by his encounter in conducting class with the works of Haydn and Mozart, the symphony features clear and light orchestration Mozart in particular would have appreciated. The premiere took place in Petrograd on April 18, 1918 with the composer conducting the newly formed State Orchestra, formerly the Court Orchestra of the Tsar.

Editor Clinton F. Nieweg used all available sources in preparation of this outstanding edition of this landmark 20th century work. With a new clear engraving, the young Prokofiev's mastery of orchestral writing is readily apparent. First issued by the now-defunct publisher Kalmus in 2010, Serenissima is most pleased to offer this outstanding edition in study score format, along with the full score and orchestral parts. Serenissima is proud to serve as the only authorized publisher for Mr. Nieweg's outstanding editions.
