Searching for traces of once-admired Nassau court music in European and American libraries made it apparent that, despite large losses, there still survives a corpus of court music, though hard to fully assess due to it's size and geographical scattering. The majority of these autographs and manuscripts are unheard pieces, condemned to two and one-half centuries of oblivion. The 350th birthday of Count Johann Ernst of Nassau-Weilburg (1664-1719) provides an appropriate occasion to let the brilliance of the Nassau court music be heard again. 881488140415 PROL14041.2 27776353 .00 18.99 .24 PROFIL - G HAENSSLER COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 02/10/2015 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/a/500/1/0/5/9/2839501.jpg 2 1 N BUSONI / BACH / SLOTCHIVER VISIONARY 3 044747339627 CAV3396.2 27775257 .00 18.99 .20 CENTAUR COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 02/10/2015 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/b/500/6/1/4/9/2839416.jpg 15 1 N SHAPERO / FINE / WYNER / RAKOWSKI / STEPNER MUSIC AT BRANDEIS The five composers spotlighted on Music at Brandeis", Harold Shapero, Irving Fine, Yehudi Wyner, David Rakowski and Yu-Hui Chang all had or still maintain deep connections to this fabled American institution of higher learning as students, professors or both.
