Geistliche Chor-Music
Geistliche Chor-Music (SWV 369-397) by the great German early Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) is a collection of twenty-nine motets for five (SSATB or SATTB), six (SSATTB), or seven voices and optional basso continuo. This easy-to-read, scholarly edition by Andrew Thomas Kuster results from a painstaking reexamination of the original part books, printed in 1648. This edition puts Schütz's music in modern clefs, retains the original note values, includes English translations, and has keyboard reductions to simplify rehearsal. Incipits show original part names, clefs, time signatures, and ranges. The edition contains fifty pages of critical commentary, translations of Schütz's preface, and plates to aid study. Among the gems of this collection are Selig sind die Toten, Die mit Tränen säen, So fahr ich hin, and Das ist je gewisslich wahr. 328 pages. (This work is also commonly spelled Geistliche Chormusic or Geistliche Chormusik, by Heinrich Schuetz or Heinrich Schutz, edited by Andrew Kuster.)

Stravinsky's Topology
Stravinsky's Topology is an innovative explanation of the music of the great composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). Specifically, this book examines Stravinsky’s implementation of certain twelve-tone row forms for particular formal events and to enhance the poetry in his later works with poetic texts. This book, reprinted from a doctoral dissertation, presents a new analytical method called Object-Oriented analysis to study Stravinsky’s smaller works "Epitaphium", "Anthem", "Elegy for J. F. K.", "Fanfare for a New Theater", and "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat". The remainder of this book is devoted to a detailed examination of Stravinsky’s expanded Object-Oriented compositional technique in "The Flood" and in his largest late work, "Threni". This investigation concludes with remarks about how a conductor can apply Object-Oriented analysis in performance. 216 pages.
