Boris Godunov: Full score in three languages

Oxford University Press libretto of the Modeste Mussorgorsky opera, an opera in four acts with a Prologue, based on Pushkin's chronicle of the same name. Designed to be used with the original version of the opera edited by Paul Hamm, as well as the Shostakovich and the Rimsky-Korsakov versions.

This famous work for full orchestra is a perennial favourite at Halloween and Pops concerts throughout the world. This is a version for brass quintet that is sure to thrill audiences. It was Rimsky-Korsakov who, after the death of Moussorgsky, made a purely orchestral tone-poem out of a combination of elements from the instrumental and choral versions to create one of the most often performed pieces.

Pictures at an Exhibition is Mussorgsky's best known piano composition. It has become a monumental showpiece for virtuoso pianists. The cycle is physically challenging, requiring great strength and stamina. Consequently, this splendid work has been considered out of reach for many pianists. Yuking Chou Brandenburgh, a concert pianist and international award winner, and the teacher of award winning students, has rearranged and slightly simplified all sixteen pieces. More true to the original than other transcriptions, this arrangement will make this piece accessible for Early Advanced pianists to study and perform.

Pictures at an Exhibition: Arranged for Early Advanced Piano Solo

Brandenburgh, Yuking Chou

One of the first Russian tone poems, Night on Bald Mountain had its genesis in the late 1850s when Mussorgsky started sketches for a projected opera: St. John's Eve (1858), later changed to The Witch (1860) - based upon a scenario about a witches' sabbath on St. John's Eve. These were abandonded by the early 1860s but Mussorgsky contemplated a tone poem using the material featuring piano and orchestra along the lines of Liszt's Totentanz. The work was finally completed on St. John's Eve (June 23) of 1867 as an orchestral tone poem entited St. John's Eve on the Bare Mountain. 
The symphonic poem was never performed in the composer's lifetime. After rejection for performance, Mussorgsky reworked the material two more times for operatic projects that never materialized. After the composer's death his friend Rimsky-Korsakov prepared a new arrangement based on the last version composed for the opera Sorochintsy Fair which was published in 1886. Rimsky's arrangement became very popular, especially after its use in the 1939 Walt Disney film Fantasia in a very bowldwerized orchestration made by Leopold Stowkowski. Rimsky's setting is the work offered here - in a newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. It is now often regarded as more of a fantasy on themes by Mussorgsky composed by Rimsky-Korsakov. <ul>
