It is based on the epic poem, The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood, and also includes helpful notes on the background to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources. This New Novello Choral Edition of the vocal score with piano reduction of the orchestral material includes a detailed foreword listing history, sources and editorial proceedure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Novello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39257767542863,"sku":"NOV072530","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/5bce8d9e4e79ca9a72e2894724c2c7c8.jpg?v=1750524010"},{"product_id":"elgar-the-dream-of-gerontius-op-38-carus","title":"Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/edward-elgar\"\u003eEdward Elgar (1857-1934)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano Reduction, SATB Choir\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eSATB Choir, Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/elgar-the-dream-of-gerontius-op-38\"\u003eThe Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Languages\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish, German\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790007240790\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e7.5\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e10.6\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUrtext \/ Critical Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.carusmedia.com\/images-intern\/medien\/20\/2300403\/2300403x.pdf\" class=\"global-button global-button--text\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" class=\"bi bi-file-pdf\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v12a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h8a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V2a2 2 0 0 0-2-2H4zm0 1h8a1 1 0 0 1 1 1v12a1 1 0 0 1-1 1H4a1 1 0 0 1-1-1V2a1 1 0 0 1 1-1z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M4.603 12.087a.81.81 0 0 1-.438-.42c-.195-.388-.13-.776.08-1.102.198-.307.526-.568.897-.787a7.68 7.68 0 0 1 1.482-.645 19.701 19.701 0 0 0 1.062-2.227 7.269 7.269 0 0 1-.43-1.295c-.086-.4-.119-.796-.046-1.136.075-.354.274-.672.65-.823.192-.077.4-.12.602-.077a.7.7 0 0 1 .477.365c.088.164.12.356.127.538.007.187-.012.395-.047.614-.084.51-.27 1.134-.52 1.794a10.954 10.954 0 0 0 .98 1.686 5.753 5.753 0 0 1 1.334.05c.364.065.734.195.96.465.12.144.193.32.2.518.007.192-.047.382-.138.563a1.04 1.04 0 0 1-.354.416.856.856 0 0 1-.51.138c-.331-.014-.654-.196-.933-.417a5.716 5.716 0 0 1-.911-.95 11.642 11.642 0 0 0-1.997.406 11.311 11.311 0 0 1-1.021 1.51c-.29.35-.608.655-.926.787a.793.793 0 0 1-.58.029zm1.379-1.901c-.166.076-.32.156-.459.238-.328.194-.541.383-.647.547-.094.145-.096.25-.04.361.01.022.02.036.026.044a.27.27 0 0 0 .035-.012c.137-.056.355-.235.635-.572a8.18 8.18 0 0 0 .45-.606zm1.64-1.33a12.647 12.647 0 0 1 1.01-.193 11.666 11.666 0 0 1-.51-.858 20.741 20.741 0 0 1-.5 1.05zm2.446.45c.15.162.296.3.435.41.24.19.407.253.498.256a.107.107 0 0 0 .07-.015.307.307 0 0 0 .094-.125.436.436 0 0 0 .059-.2.095.095 0 0 0-.026-.063c-.052-.062-.2-.152-.518-.209a3.881 3.881 0 0 0-.612-.053zM8.078 5.8a6.7 6.7 0 0 0 .2-.828c.031-.188.043-.343.038-.465a.613.613 0 0 0-.032-.198.517.517 0 0 0-.145.04c-.087.035-.158.106-.196.283-.04.192-.03.469.046.822.024.111.054.227.09.346z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e PDF Preview \u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This is the best of me\", wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar's moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at him briefly, then faces the purgatorial fire of salvation confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the Angel, and the three impressive solo parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. for this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts.
