Until the 20th century, English audiences favored oratorio over opera. Besides the masterful works of Britten, Vaughan Williams wrote the folk opera "Hugh the Drover," another telling of the Falstaff legend in "Sir John in Love," an eerie setting of Synge's "Riders to the Se...

The first that come to mind are the finale of Daphnis et Chloe, the final trio and duet in Der Rosenkavalier, the haunting finale of Vaughan Williams' London Symphony, and there are many many more!

Ah I see. Thank you so much Carolus!

Hello! I noticed that a mélodie, "Il Pleut," by Ropartz remains blocked. It appears to be from a collection published in 1907. Could this piece be unblocked?

Hello! Would it be possible to upload a more practical German vocal score to Die Zauberflöte? The first edition is beautiful and historically interesting but a bit impractical to use. Thank you so much!

The slow movement of Bruckner's 6th symphony. Lovely!

It's totally overindulgent, but Zerbinetta's aria from Ariadne auf Naxos can be absolutely amazing if done well (dreadful if done badly...).

Brahms only composed two cello sonatas. Did you mean the third violin sonata?

This is a tough one, but I might say:

10. Die Gezeichneten (Schreker)
9. La Boheme
8. Kata Kabanova (Janacek)
7. The Queen of Spades (Tchaikovsky)
6. Der Rosenkavalier
5. Falstaff
4. Die Walkuere
3. Don Giovanni
2. Madama Butterfly
1. Pelleas et Mellisande

As a pianist, I can tell you that Sixtus is right on the money. There is virtually nothing "easy" to play by Ravel. The closest thing I could recommend would be the Prelude for piano. A la maniere de Borodin is not too bad, but it gets complicated on the last two pages. The Berceuse sur le...

There are so many, but here are a few of my favorites: Mozart - Nozze di Figaro The end of Act II is thrilling when all of the characters begin singing together with that grand accelerando Mozart - Don Giovanni The finale when the Comendatore reappears Mozart - La clemenza di Tito The lovely suspens...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has these scores. I believe they are all in public domain:

Bunte Lieder, op. 22
Des Hafis Liebeslieder, op. 24
Pie?ni ksi??niczki z ba?ni, op. 31
Vier Gesänge (Cztery pie?ni), op. 41
Pie?ni muezina szalonego, op. 42

Thank you so much!

Le Flem (1881-1984(!)) has two scores on the Sibley Website (Piano Quintet and Violin Sonata both published before 1911). Could these be uploaded, or does Le Flem's death year keep them from being in public domain? Thanks!

It's already available - check the bottom of this link:

Hello, I am a vocal coach and I regularly participate in the NATS vocal competition in the USA. In this competition, the rules state that without exception the contestants must provide their accompanists with "original copies" of music to play from, i.e. published books. They recently bega...
