Newly-discovered choral motet by Camille Saint-Saëns
Bärenreiter is publishing the first edition of Camille Saint-Saëns’ early choral motet “Super flumina Babylonis” right in time for planning for the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death on 16 December 2021. The version written in 1854 with saxophone quartet will be of particular interest, the first ever work to be composed for this scoring. But the versions with large orchestra and, in English, with piano accompaniment are also available now on hire in new editions by Christina M. Stahl, and will be available to purchase in 2021. – (Picture: Eugène Delacroix: The Jews in the Babilonian Captivity. Palais Bourbon, Paris) »more«
