In the autumn of 1819, refreshed from a three-month stay in the Austrian countryside, Franz Schubert returned to Vienna to begin one of his major choral works, the great Mass in A-fiat Major. Completed three years later, this work has been praised as a grand harmonic adventure with deeply affecting moments of rare poignance. Along with the Mass No. 6 in E-flat Maior, it is the most performed of Schubert's masses. The latter work--composed in 1828, the year of his death was among the final musical achievements of Schubert's brief life. It is especially memorable for its touching commemoration of the birth of Christ in a haunting lullaby, and its powerful evocation of the cruel spectacle of the crucifixion. Both masterworks of church music have been reprinted from the definitive Breitkopf & Hartel Critical Edition of 1884-1897. Separate English translations of the Latin texts are provided.

The music of Gabriel Faure (1845-1924) is an important link between the innovations of late Romanticism and the experimentation of the early 20th century. In his long life, Faure witnessed the achievements of both Richard Wagner and Alban Berg. A student of Saint-Saens, Faure, in turn, taught Ravel and was an influential mentor to the young modernists of Les Six, among them Francis Poulenc, Darius Milhaud and Arthur Honegger. The twenty-four works in this volume-twelve nocturnes and twelve barcarolles composed over a span of forty years-form a splendid musical document of Faure's evolution as a composer. In his first nocturne and first barcarolle, composed in his early thirties, the influences of Romanticism, of Chopin and Saint-Sachs, are felt. In the last nocturne and barcarolle, both composed in 1915, when Faure was 70, we hear the bold, lean musical language of the 20th century. These piano masterworks reveal Faure's distinctive musical gifts: subtle rhythmic fluidity, harmonic daring, free-flowin

Richard Strauss (1864-1949) first wrote Ariadne auf Naxos as an interlude to be performed with Moli~re's play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, and it was presented in Stuttgart in that form in 1912. Several years later, with his collaborator Hugo von Hoffmansthal, Strauss expanded the work into the full-length opera we know today. This glorious new Ariadne auf Naxos was first presented at the Vienna State Opera in October 1916. The story artfully intermingles backstage comedy, the lofty emotions of Greek mythology and the merry pranks of a troupe of commedia dell'arte players. Strauss endowed these antic proceedings with a luminous score that combines music of great satiric wit with breathtaking flights of lyricism. Today Ariadne auf Naxos is one of Richard Strauss's most highly regarded operas, and is frequently performed on the world's stages. It is reprinted here from the definitive full-score edition published in Berlin by Adolph Fiirstner following the opera's 1916 premiere.

Jean-Jacques Sempes witty drawings and keen eye for the finer points of the human condition have delighted readers in France and beyond for over forty years.

This attractively packaged two-volume set attempts an almost impossible task: to present the art of the entire world， from vibrant cave paintings dating back 30，000 years to the creative trends of the late 20th century。 Though the arts of Europe are the most thoroughly analyzed， respected scholars in several specialized fields cover other cultures with cogent essays。 A more unusual feature is the space devoted to art created by women， such as the late-Renaissance painters Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia Fontana--the latter was invited in 1560 to be an official painter at the Spanish court。 Relationships between the art of different cultures are emphasized and， while each section can stand alone， each is shown to fit meaningfully into the overall development of the world’s artistic heritage。 Beautiful images grace the production’s 1，200 pages， not only well-known icons but a wealth of lesser-known gems are here， carefully chosen to demonstrate the points made in the text。 There
