Later edition of the French version. Hopkinson 44C a. <br/><br/>The French version of Alceste to a libretto by Marie François Louis Gand Leblanc Roullet was first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris on April 23 1776. <br/><br/>"Gluck's revision of Alceste for performance in Paris in 1776 amounts almost to a recomposition. His alterations were far more extensive than those he had made in his Paris adaptation of Orfeo . The French Alceste had a new text by Roullet Gluck's librettist for Iphigénie en Aulide based on Calzabigi's libretto; but alterations to the plot and the order of events led to major differences between the two. The principals at the première of the French version included Rosalie Levasseur Alcestis Joseph Legros Admetus Henri Larrivée Hercules Moreau Apollo and Nicolas Gélin High Priest. At the first Paris performances of Alceste the Act 3 denouement was substantially different from the version familiar today and closer to the Italian original. Gluck and Roullet after much criticism altered the act to incorporate a part for Hercules who has no place in the Italian original. Just as Gluck was arranging more music to enlarge the final divertissement again to please Parisian taste he heard of the death of his adopted daughter Marianne in Vienna; he left Paris and assigned the completion of the divertissement to Gossec. This revised version published in Paris in 1776 is the one that has nearly always been performed subsequently." Jeremy Hayes in Grove Music Online. N Simrock [PN 1125.] unknown books

WorldCat records only three copies.<br>Mozart's Requiem remains one of his best-loved works not little because of the mythology surrounding it. Mozart left it unfinished when he died in December 1791. The completion by Franz Xaver SüÃmayr made in order to fulfill the Count von Walsegg's commission of the piece is still generally the completion performed today although several modern musicologists have offered alternative completions. The first French performance took place in Paris in 1804 with the present title page giving the date of 30 Frimaire An 13 in the French Revolutionary calendar.<br>Gluck's De Profundis is a short setting of Psalm 130 for SATB choir and small orchestra with an unusual and low instrumentation oboe viola horn three trombones cello and continuo. The work was first performed at Gluck's own funeral in November 1787 conducted by none other than Antonio Salieri. The use of trombones with the associations of death and the afterlife make it a fitting pairing with Mozart's Requiem. A L'Imprimerie du Conservatoire Faubourg Poissonniere No. 152 hardcover books
