Missa pro defunctis (Requiem)
In addition to his wind chamber music and theoretical treatises, Anton Reicha (1770-1836) wrote numerous choral compositions, including a thirteen-movement Missa pro defunctis. This Requiem, composed by the teacher of Berlioz years before the latter wrote his Grande messe des morts, is missing the final "Cum sanctis" fugue of its manuscript score. However, in his Traité de haute composition musicale, Reicha uses a "Cum sanctis" fugue as an example of fugal writing for chorus and orchestra. The choral and string parts of this fugue match the extant string and choral manuscript parts of the Requiem. Therefore, the missing portion of this Missa pro defunctis has been supplied from Reicha¿s own treatise. Commentary on the Requiem includes performance suggestions based on concepts discussed by Reicha in his four major theoretical treatises.

Musical Memorials for Musicians
Throughout recorded history the deaths of noble and heroic persons have inspired poets and musicians to create songs of lamentation. This unique bibliography simplifies access to approximately 2,150 such musical works composed between the late fourteenth century and the year 2000 to memorialize musicians. Arranged alphabetically by the name of the dedicatee, a typical entry includes the name, dates, and professional details of the musician being memorialized; name and dates of the composer; title, subtitle, and quote of the memorial dedication of the musical work; publication data; and additional descriptive notes when warranted to clarify the context of the work's creation. The bibliography is indexed by composer names as well as by birth and death dates of the dedicatees. A useful and unique resource for librarians, teachers, and musicians planning concerts, conferences, or exhibitions honoring musicians.
Der romantische Weg im Frühwerk von Hector Berlioz
Dichtung und Wahrheit kommen gleichermaaen zu ihrem Recht, wenn Berlioz in seinen Memoiren glanzvoll uber seine ersten Karriereschritte berichtet. In welchen Spannungsfeldern des Musiklebens, der Lehre und der Theaterwelt bewegte sich der Komponist tatsachlich? Die Vergegenwartigung des Pariser Musiklebens anhand von Zeitdokumenten ermoglicht es zu unterscheiden, wo ihm Eigenstandiges gelang und wo Mode und Parteigeist ihren Tribut forderten. Zogerlich nur stimmte Berlioz in die Rede von Romantik ein, die untrennbar mit den Interessen der liberalen Opposition und dem Namen Rossinis verbunden war. Machtig wirkten auf ihn die klassischen Werte der Grand Ecole Francaise, die ihm sein Lehrer Jean- Francois Lesueur vermittelte. (Franz Steiner 2003)
