Don Giovanni's Reasons: Thoughts on a masterpiece (Paperback, New edition): Felicity Baker, Magnus Tessing Schneider Don Giovanni's Reasons: Thoughts on a masterpiece (Paperback, New edition)
Felicity Baker, Magnus Tessing Schneider
R1,405 Discovery Miles 14 050 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Although Mozart's Don Giovanni (1787) is the most analysed of all operas, Lorenzo Da Ponte's libretto has rarely been studied as a work of poetry in its own right. The author argues that the libretto, rather than perpetuating the conservative religious morality implicit in the story of Don Juan, subjects our culture's myth of human sexuality to a critical rewriting. Combining poetic close reading with approaches drawn from linguistics, psychoanalysis, anthropology, political theory, legal history, intellectual history, literary history, art history and theatrical performance analysis, she studies the Don Giovanni libretto as a radical political text of the Late Enlightenment, which has lost none of its ability to provoke. The questions it raises concerning the nature of compassion, seduction and violence, and the autonomy and responsibility of the individual, are still highly relevant for us today.

Christ is the morning star (Staple bound, Vocal score): John Rutter Christ is the morning star (Staple bound, Vocal score)

R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ/chamber orchestra This joyous yet reflective Christmas carol will appeal to both choir and audience. It is characterized by a soaring melody, an artful use of texture, and a gentle expressiveness, heightened by modal inflections and the organ accompaniment. The text, written by the composer, is inspired by an inscription in Durham Cathedral by the Venerable Bede: 'Christus est stella matutina'.

The Bethlehem Star (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott The Bethlehem Star (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied This affecting carol was composed in memory of Alan Greaves, the organist from Sheffield who was murdered on his way to Midnight Mass in 2012.

St Matthew Passion (Sheet music, Vocal score): Matthew Owens St Matthew Passion (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Matthew Owens
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for soloists, SATB, and organ Written for the Choir of Wells Cathedral, of which Matthew Owens is Organist and Master of the Choristers, this setting of the St Matthew Passion is ideally suited to liturgical performance during Holy Week. The principal role of the Evangelist is taken by a baritone soloist, who narrates the story of Christ's trial and Crucifixion in unaccompanied chant. The other, smaller, solo roles of Judas (tenor), Pilate (tenor), Jesus (bass), and Pilate's wife (alto) continue in the same vein, with four-part choral interspersions from the crowds, soldiers, and priests providing a contrast in texture. The hymn 'When I survey the wondrous cross', set to the Rockingham hymn tune, appears twice throughout the work, and the congregation are encouraged to join in on both occasions. The simple organ part supports the voices for the hymn, and may also optionally double the choir during the narrative.

Mack Wilberg
R128 Discovery Miles 1 280 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSAA and piano or chamber orchestra This gentle arrangement of Will L. Thompson's words and melody (1880) is ideal for upper-voice choirs of all levels of experience. The melody is sympathetically treated, with simple vocal harmonizations alongside unison singing, reflecting the humble message of the text: 'Jesus is calling, come home'. The accompaniment, for piano or small orchestra, creates a lush bed of sound over which the voices resonate.

Faith, Hope, and Love Remain (Sheet music, SA vocal score): Malcolm Archer Faith, Hope, and Love Remain (Sheet music, SA vocal score)
Malcolm Archer
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SA and organ or piano This uplifting anthem combines two well-known texts that are commonly read at weddings: 1 Corinthians 13:13 ('And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.') and Song of Solomon 8:6-7 ('For love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.'). Retaining the flowing organ part of the original SATB version, the music perfectly mirrors the message of the texts, with melodic vocal lines building to full homophonic textures at the climax. Faith, hope, and love remain is suitable for use not only as part of a wedding ceremony but also for general services and concerts.
