REPERTOIRE & OPERA EXPLORER

George Enescu

Symphony No. 2 Op. 17

The Second Symphony is an elaborate work on the grand scale: it lasts nearly an hour. There are four movements, the third of which is short and serves as an introduction to the fourth one. The work opens like a cross between Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony and Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben, followed by a second group in a very different atmosphere. ,…

Joseph Achron

Golem, Suite for Chamber Orchestra

The emotional and formal centrepiece of the suite is The Fatigued Wanderer (Lullaby). In wide-ranging legato lines and a greatly thinned-out texture, a state of deep calm emerges that seems both enraptured and floating. The extreme range – from piccolo to double bass – opens up the sound space and reinforces the impression of instability: a being that exists but is not really anchored. …

Judge Smith

Requiem Mass (1975)

for large SATB choir, vocal soloist, 4-piece rock band, orchestral percussion and brass octet (First print)
Judge Smith’s Requiem Mass is an outstanding work in many respects. While adhering, mostly, to Rock aesthetics, it defers to the liturgical structure of the Mass of the Dead. The harmonic vocabulary is, with very few exceptions, limited to major and minor harmonies. With this in mind, it is remarkable how Smith achieves tension and variety, mostly by juxtaposing tonal centres and by setting the harmonies against each other …

Back to the Origins and Toward the Unknown …

Repertoire & Opera Explorer, Music publisher of rare music scores. Its underlying idea was born from the experience that too many great works of music are unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed. Moreover, most of this neglected music has been commercially unavailable for a long time.

The work of Repertoire Explorer extends far beyond the needs of collectors. The series aims to change the world of music one step at a time. For this reason, we also produce first editions of neglected masterworks, that should have been published long ago. These are always accompanied by the complete set of performance material.

Every score is introduced with a scholarly preface (English, German), most of which are available online for preview. All this is made possible by a worldwide network of dedicated musicians, musicologists, and music-loving amateurs contributing in many different ways to the success of the series.

Let us know if there is a work that you’ve been searching for in vain. If it is in the public domain, and if there is a score (and perhaps parts) in acceptable condition, we can usually publish it and make it available quite quickly. If it is still under copyright protection, you may be able to help us negotiate with the rightsholders. Some publishers such as Universal Edition in Vienna have agreed to collaborate with us on a broad basis. It is our hope that such examples will inspire others to join us in promoting great music that will otherwise never enter the repertoire.

Look through our catalogue and be inspired.

Call for preface writers and translators

All our scores are introduced with a scholarly preface in English and German. These are typically written by musicians, musicologists and music lovers from all over the world in support of our main endeavour, namely to publish unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed great musical works that have been commercially unavailable for many years.

We are now looking to expand our network. Please contact us if you are interested in writing or translating the preface for one of the following titles:
