Hindemith - APPAREBIT REPENTINA DIES - Brass & SATB - Oversize Full Score - NM

"Aparebit repentina dies" grew from non-liturgically inspired sources. In the spring of 1947, Harvard University commissioned well-known modernists of the time, including Hindemith, Copland, and Schoenberg, to compose music for a three-day symposium on music criticism. Hindemith’s contribution was performed by the Collegiate Chorale and brass players from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Robert Shaw, on May 2, 1947. The choice of brass scoring for Apparebit seemed obvious to the composer, who wrote to his publisher, “This piece can hardly be played with strings. It is, after all, a very primitive and drastic depiction of the Last Judgment, and only brass can really suit it, not a soft string sound.

Score measures 13 X 10 1/2.

Over the next few months, I will continue listing a large number of scores for orchestra, string orchestra, wind band, and chamber ensembles that I collected over my 40-year conducting career. I will also be listing most of the (700+) books on music and musicians. If you are looking for something in particular, it is possible that I have it. Message me with a request, and it it is in my collection, I will add it to my store.

Shipping can be combined on books and scores. Message me for a combined invoice prior to paying.
