Psalm 137, Super flumina Babylonis was an inspiration for many composers including Camille Saint-Saëns. He lived up to his reputation as an innovative composer by exploring the use of the saxophone family in sacred music just a few years after the invention of these instruments. The successful combination of voice and saxophone creates a special sound experience.
Full score and individual parts also available.

During the last summer of his life, Franz Schubert completed the Mass in E-flat D 950. Among other things, the editor has paid particular attention to the articulation. In order to be able to present Schubert’s differentiated use of accents in the edition, a new symbol has been introduced: an accent which is flexible with regard to its length, thus making it possible to precisely visualize its compositionally intended duration.

New edition of Stravinsky’s only full-length work for the theatre, and his first major work in English. Inspired by an exhibition of a series of Hogarth prints in Chicago in 1947. The Rake’s Progress can be appreciated on many levels, which might explain why it is still one of only a handful of 20th-century operas never to have been out of the repertoire.
