Originally for piano, Chabrier's Habanera was arranged for orchestra by the composer for a concert he conducted in Angers on November 4, 1888. The piano version was the first to be published (Enoch Frères et Costallat, 1885). The orchestral version, which is transposed up to D major, was not issued until 1889. The Habanera is a fine example of the Spanish genre which was so popular in the works of French composers in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Richard W. Sargeant Jr's newly engraved is based upon the 1889 first edition score and parts, the composer's manuscript having vanished during the second world war. The study score offered here is a reduced format reproduction of the large conductor score which is also available along with the orchestral parts from Serenissima Music.

MacDowell composed his first symphonic poem in 1884 while living in Germany. Apparently it received its premiere there the next year, accompanied by publication. The US premiere did not take place until 1893, when the Boston Symphony performed the piece under the baton of Arthur Nikisch. This new score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the 1885 score issued by Julius Hainauer in Breslau.

Hiawatha's Wedding Feast was the first major success enjoyed by Coleridge-Taylor. It was commissioned by the London publisher Novello after Edward Elgar recommended the young Afro-English composer to them following the premiere of his Ballade in A minor at the Three Choirs Festival in Birmingham. The new work was completed fast and the vocal score was in print months before the premiere, with sales so brisk Novello commissioned a subsequent cantata. The premiere itself was a major event, given in London on 11 November 1898 under the baton of the composer's teacher Charles Villiers Stanford. This new vocal score is an enhanced facsimile of re-engraved Novello edition from the 1920s which has been scaled to a larger, more readable format. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, is beautifully printed on off-white stock with a quality cover.

Schirmer, New York. n contrast so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable, is beautifully printed on off-white stock with a quality cover.
