Written in memory of choral singer, clarinetist, and friend George Olin, this is a modern arrangement of the LOBE DEN HERREN hymn tune, with a new, ecumenical text written by poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. The text focuses on the richness of life and creation and the joy that is found in all aspects of life.

Christmas Sanctus

Orchestra Score and Parts

This Christmas text combines the tender beauty of the nativity story with the age old grandeur of the Sanctus. The music weds the simplicity of the stable in Bethlehem to a deeply worshipful exaltation of the promised Savior. It builds in intensity through the final refrain, with an optional soprano descant which enhances its brilliance and then ends with an intimate, quiet final statement reflecting the awe felt by all who experience Christ's presence on earth.

Piano Concerto No. 22 in E-flat Major, K. 482

Piano with Piano Reduction

Two copies are required for performance.

Composed at the end of 1785, Mozart's Piano Concerto in E-flat major forms a triumvirate with the two famous concerti in A major K. 488 and in C minor K. 491, which he completed in March of the following year. What they all have in common is Mozart's use of clarinets in the orchestra for the first time. In this he succeeded to particularly impressive effect with the lyrical passages in the slow sections of the E-flat-major concerto, which was well received by the audience at the first performance. Indeed, his father, Leopold, reports in a letter that Mozart “had to repeat” the Andante immediately. In addition to the study edition of this concerto, undeservedly overshadowed by its famous siblings, we are issuing the piano reduction, with cadenzas and fingerings by the magnificent Swiss pianist Alexander Lonquich.
