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.
