Composed in the summer of 1831 while in Rome, Berlioz's work was inspired by the Scottish rebel Rob-Roy MacGregor had to wait until the spring of 1833 for its premiere. The composer abandoned the piece shortly afterwards, but used some of the music material for his more famous "Harold in Italy." An unabridged, digitally enhanced reprint from Volume 4 of Series II of the Berlioz Complete Works, edited by Charles Malherbe and Felix Weingartner, issued by Breitkopf and Hrtel between 1900 and 1907, this new study score presents the Berlioz's fascinating work in an easy-to-read format at a very reasonable price.

Berlioz composed his tremendous "Legende dramatique" in 1845-46, largely creating his own libretto after Gerard de Nerval's French translation of the famous Faust story by Goethe. The composer produced the dramatic oratorio at his own expense for the premiere on December 6, 1846 at Paris' Opera-Comique. Despite critical acclaim, the performance was not well-attended - a major financial setback for the composer. This new study score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the score issued in 1901 by Breitkopf & Hartel as part of the projected Berlioz Complete Works, edited by Charles Malherbe and Felix Weingartner.

Completed in 1849, the "Te Deum," like the earlier and more famous "Grande Messe des Morts," is one of Berlioz's self-described "architectural" works. While the orchestral forces required are nowhere near as massive as huge as those for the Requiem, the work does call for a pipe organ which can compete on equal terms with the rest of the orchestra. It lasts approximately fifty minutes and derives its text from the traditional Latin Te Deum, although Berlioz made some changes to word order for dramatic purposes. The instrumental Prelude and Marche are seldom performed in concert. This new study score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the full score issued as part of the Berlioz complete works edited by Charles Malherbe and Felix Weingartner in 1900.

Berlioz' operatic masterpiece is now performed regularly in concert halls worldwide, despite the poor reception received at it Paris premiere in 1846. This is a new, digitally-enhanced, corrected reprint of the score originally issued in 1911 by Costallat & Cie., Paris. Charles Malherbe prepared the piano reduction to serve as a companion vocal score for the full score issued as part of the Berlioz Complete edition - ultimately left incomplete thanks in part to Malherbe's passing in the very year this score was issued. This very readable A4-sized vocal score will be appreciated by performers, students and Berlioz aficionados everywhere.
