Christmas is a festival of loved ones, gifts and consequently joy, even disappointment at times. We are therefore pleased to announce that for the year\u2019s last printing at G. Henle Publishers, we have produced several truly wonderful editions, perfectly suited to enhance your personal Christmas celebrations, though these \u2013 often the best presents! \u2013 will not arrive in time for the festivities. According to the production schedule, they\u2019ll be under the Christmas tree just when it\u2019s about to be taken down on Candlemas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That includes Debussy\u2019s\u00a0Danses<\/em> for harp and string orchestra in brand-new performance material. Just imagine: the family, united in an ensemble, is gathered around by candlelight, at its centre, the gleaming golden family harp and the blue Henle conductor\u2019s score. We could also have proffered something more confrontational: Johan Halvorsen\u2019s grandiose Passacaglia<\/em> for violin and viola. An incredibly virtuoso piece with which, on long-drawn-out holidays, sibling rivalry \u2013 assuming a more than solid instrumental education \u2013 could be musically fought out in a worthwhile and non-violent manner. Mozart\u2019s\u00a0Ein musikalischer Spa\u00df<\/em>, also in new performance material, would be most welcome when cabin fever sets in and the Christmas goose sits heavy on the stomach. The light trout dish on Boxing Day could be tastefully garnished with Schubert\u2019s lied of the same name in Franz Liszt\u2019s piano arrangement. Or, Beethoven\u2019s lied Adelaide<\/em> could be sung from our new Urtext editions for medium and low voice, to the words: \u201cIn reflective waters, in the snowy Alps, in the golden cloud banks of the sinking day, in the starry realms your likeness radiates, Adelaide!\u201d Quite right, we think, the Alpine snow is the only thing that matters during the Christmas holidays \u2013 but there\u2019s no snow in Adelaide, it\u2019s now summer there. So, just as well that these Henle editions didn\u2019t arrive at Christmas, when there\u2019s already too much of everything; instead, they\u2019ll soon sweeten the new year 2026 and whet the appetite for more new titles.<\/p>\n

Until then, we wish you a peaceful and fulfilling time. We warmly thank you for faithfully reading our Henle blog and playing music from our Urtext editions.<\/p>\n
