Dubois' oratorio was given its premiere on Good Friday (April 19), 1867 at Église de la Madeleine in Paris under the composer's direction. Although first published in 1886 by Georges Hartmann of Paris, the vocal score presented here is a digitally enhanced reprint of the one first produced in 1899 by G. Schirmer of New York, with an English translation beneath the original Latin text by Theodore Baker (1851-1934). This score has been carefully reviewed, with measure numbers and rehearsal letters added. It is now completely compatible with the widely available full score and orchestral parts issued by Edwin F. Kalmus. The large (A4) size makes it particularly easy to read for choruses both at both professional and community levels. IMSLP page All Music Guide

Dvorak's 90-minute Stabat Mater received its premiere two days before Christmas of 1880 in Prague. It quickly gained a following not only in Europe but in both England and the USA. The vocal score was prepared by Josef Zubaty for the initial publication and was re-engraved by G. Schirmer in 1897 - which is the basis of the present score. With added measure numbers and rehearsal systems to match the widely available public domain orchestral parts, this large A4 digitally-enhanced reprint is ideal score for vocal soloists, choruses and directors.

Composed in memory of a favorite teacher, Father J. Zimmermann, Gounod's first large scale mass was an immediate success in the wake of its Paris world premiere on November 22, 1855 at the Église de Saint Eustache. The composer went on to popularize the work in London, which resulted in the present vocal score arranged by Sir Joseph Barnby. The Barnby score is presented here in a reprint of the score issued by G. Schirmer in the 1890s, with added measure numbers, a rehearsal system to match the widely available reprint orchestra parts, and a very readable A4 size.

Composed in 1904, Josef Suk's pasionate symphonic scherzo is presented for the first time in a moderately priced, authoratative score that will be a welcome addition to the libraries of performers and music enthusiasts everywhere. The Fantasticke Scherzo was one of the last of the works composed before the tragic hammer blows to fall upon him the following year, when his father-in-law Antonin Dvorak died followed soon thereafter by the death of his wife (Dvorak's daughter). Though generally a jubilant work, there is nevertheless a hint of autumnal melancholy present in the soaring cello theme. IMSLP page All Music Guide

Newly edited and engraved. The composer considered an orchestral suite from his great ballet, but never got around to extracting it. An unknown editor compiled the first version, which was issued by Jurgenson in 1900. The Soviet state publishers produced their own version in 1954, adding 3 dance movements and omitting the finale from the original suite. This new score includes all the movements found in the two different versions of the suite.This edition was first issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Since that firms dissolution in 2019, Serenissima Music is the sole authorized publisher of the Simpson edition. The large conductor score and orchestra parts are now also avaialble.

A study score of the spectacular new setting for wind symphony. Simpson's orchestration is the first one for winds based upon the composer's manuscript instead of the flawed 1886 edition of the piano original. Edited by the eminent American composer of wind music, Alfred Reed (1921-2005). IMSLP page Wikipedia

This is a new, digitally-enhanced reissue of the score originally published in 1911 by Durand et Cie., Paris. Originally composed in 1910 for piano solo, Children's Corner was scored for small orchestra two years later by Debussy's student and good friend André Caplet, who conducted the premiere in Boston. This is the orchestral version most widely performed and recorded today. It is a brilliant example of early 20th century orchestral writing. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. IMSLP page Wikipedia

Amy Beach's only symphony is fully representative of her late Romantic style. Composed in 1896, the work makes use of several Irish folksongs as thematic material. The Gaelic Symphony received favorable reviews and was subsequently performed by orchestras in both the USA and Europe in the years leading up to the World War I. Like most music of the American late-Romantic school, this lovely symphony was sadly neglected until recently. Thanks to an increased interest in the works of women composers and a general revival of interest in the American late-Romantic school, the Gaelic Symphony has seen a fair number of performances and recordings in recent years. This is a new, digitally enhanced reprint of the score originally published in 1897 by Arthur P. Schmidt - incorporating the list of corrections submitted by the composer shortly after publication. Matching full score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music (97981).

Stenhammar began work on what many consider to be his finest orchestral work in 1907-08. He completed the first version following his return from vacationing in Italy (1912-13). Dedicated to his wife Helga Marcia, the Serenade was given its premiere under the composer's baton in Stockholm in January 1914. Revisions were made in 1919 and the final version was premiered in Gothenburg in 1920. While unmistakably Scandinavian, Stenhammar's music often takes a more lyrical and classical approach than his fellow Scaninavians Sibelius and Nielsen. The Serenade is widely considered to be the finest example of the Swedish composer's style. The 34-minute work is scored for a Brahms-size orchestra. This is a new, digitally enhanced reissue of the score originally published in 1936 by Edition Suecia. IMSLP page Swedish Musical Heritage
