The well-known aria announcing the barber's entrance — "Figaro!… Eh, Figaro!" — highlights this comic romp of an opera. Based on Beaumarchais' Le Barbier de Seville, Rossini's 1816 classic began as Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution, in an attempt to avoid confusion with a highly successful Il Barbiere di Siviglia of a half-century earlier. An opening night fiasco and persistent interruptions during the premiere by fans of the older play were but momentary detours on the path of this masterpiece to international fame. With the now-famous overture in place, the work reached the operatic capitals of the world, becoming the first opera to be sung in Italian in New York. Ideal for conductors, soloists, chorus members, and rehearsal pianists, this practice and performance vocal score is based on the classic 1900 Schirmer edition. Please note that the lyrics appear in the original Italian only.

The Long And Winding Road is one of the most popular ballads of The Beatles' late-period. A melancholic song written by Paul McCartney and inspired by the growing tensions within the group, it’s a dramatic track that creates a sense of emotional drama by modulating between minor and major keys. This new choral arrangement for SATB choir with piano accompaniment by Simon Foxley is an intriguing proposition for ensembles with its non-traditional chorus and ambiguous yet emotive melodies and lyrics.

Thee We Adore by David Poole-Connor for unaccompanied SATB choir.

Mull of Kintyre is the classic wings hit by Paul McCartney and Denny Laine, written in tribute to the picturesque headland of the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland. The song was wings’ biggest hit in the UK, scoring the band the 1977 Christmas number one and was the first single to sell over two million copies in the UK. Today it can be heard sung throughout the football stadiums of England and remains a popular anthem. Arranged for SATB choir with piano accompaniment, this choral version of the celtic-tinged hit is ideal for groups seeking an atmospheric addition to their Novello Choral Pop repertoire.

The “Stabat mater”, composed shortly before Pergolesi’s untimely death at the early age of 26, quickly attracted attention. The work’s importance was soon so great that none other than Johann Sebastian Bach performed a German version of the work based on the 51st Psalm. Numerous copies, prints and arrangements attest to the work’s vast popularity, a popularity that still exists today. For the present edition, the autograph was for the first time compared to a very early Neapolitan score that is presumably based on the parts from the work’s premiere. The findings have influenced the musical text; the details are described in the critical commentary. The popular work is presented in a well researched Urtext edition Clear, idiomatic piano reduction

Revised Barenreiter Urtext choral score for Handel's Dixit Dominus HWV 232.

Handel wrote the famous “Dixit Dominus” with the text of Psalm 109 during his time in Italy in c. 1707. Although he was only 22 years old, the work already demonstrates his wide spectrum of compositional abilities which are later fully realized in his operas and oratorios. Central to this work are the six choral movements, which – with their polyphonic structure – are closely related to German choral music of the 17th century. The first Urtext edition BA 4002 based on the “Halle Handel Edition” was published in 1960. At that time no critical commentary was published so that in cases of doubt, the basis on which editorial decisions were made was not officially recorded. A new complete edition volume (BA 10704/01), due to be published in 2013 will include a detailed foreword providing information on the genesis and the first performance of this work as well as information on the psalm on which this work is based and on performance practice. In addition several facsimiles pages will be included, giving a view into the source material. The critical commentary will provide a detailed insight into all the available sources and how they have been passed down. This newly revised Urtext performing edition offers a thorough revision of this frequently-performed work and meets all the requisites of a scholarly-critical edition. Former readings in the old edition regarding a small number of pitches, but mostly basso continuo figures and the underlying text have now been able to be amended on the basis of the new findings. In the new edition the work appears in nine movements – no longer eight – which reflects the composer's intentions. The new performance material is not compatible with the old one.
