FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS:


Following the publication of two compositions by Berkeley composer and keyboardist, Janine Johnson, PRB will next issue her "Seven Miniatures for Cello and Piano, Op. 33 (CI026: to be published November 2009)

We recently published a sonata for violin and piano composed in 1979 by Derek Moore Morgan (1915-2007). Derek was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne, UK. After a brilliant college career and service in the Merchant Navy in WWII, he taught music at a high school in England, emigrating to Western Australia in 1974. Shortly we'll publish his sonata for bassoon and piano, composed in 1978.

California Composer (and former conductor and professor of music at the University of California, Berkeley) Michael Senturia has written many pieces for chorus, which will be published by PRB. The first collection, entitled "Seven Secular Choral Miniatures" for SATB choir will be published later this year.

In a new departure for PRB, we will issue a facsimile edition of the 48 Canons and Fugues for Piano by August Klengel (1783-1852). Klengel was a proponent of JS Bach's music in the first decades of the 19th century: his Canons and Fugues are in Bach's style, flavored by the early romanticism of his period. They deserve to be performed again. We shall also make available computer generated recordings of the two volumes, since they appear to have never been recorded by a live pianist!

G.P. Telemann: Volume 4 of the Danzig Chorale Cantatas: "Christus, der ist mein Leben" edited by Ann Kersting-Meuleman (B024: Score, Vocal Score and Parts). This edition has been engraved, and is in the editing process.

We have been reissuing music first published by Santa Ynez Music, edited by George Houle. Shortly we shall reissue the Sonatas and Partitas for one and for two viols with figured basso continuo by August Kühnel (1645-c1700). We understand that a CD is on the way, too!

The Five- and Six-Part Madrigals of Thomas Weelkes (1600) will be published for voices and viols in two volumes, edited by Julie Jeffrey, editor of our edition of the Six-Part Fantasias of Charles Coleman.

Carel Hacquart: Cantiones Sacrae, ten cantatas for two to five voices, strings, and/or continuo, edited by Pieter Andriessen. To be published separately.

Melismata, Thomas Ravenscroft's compilation of popular catches, ballads, part-songs and theater music for voices and instruments. A facsimile of the 1611 print has been available for some time, but few, if any, of the pieces can be played from it because of serious errors in the notation. We have restored all of the pieces and will issue a new score and set of parts.

Claude Debussy: Menuet and En Bateau, arranged from his Petite Suite (piano duet) for six viols.

John Coprario: Eleven Pieces for Three Lyra Viols, edited by Richard Charteris: Score in notation; separate parts in tablature (VC055).
