Carus-Verlag GmbH & Co KG is a music publisher based in Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart . The publishing house is one of the world's largest providers of vocal music and was founded in 1972. In addition to music editions, CDs and books are also published under the Carus label .
history
The publishing house is a leading German music publisher in the field of so-called serious music and was founded in 1972 in Stuttgart by Günter Graulich and Waltraud Graulich. The founding idea lay in the development of sacred vocal works that were not accessible or only in inadequate editions. In the course of time, the publishing house was able to grow and expand its publishing program. In 1992 the classic sheet music division of the Hänssler publishing house was taken over. Today the publisher is one of the largest providers in the field of vocal music with around 50 employees and around 30,000 choral works in the program.
Publishing program
The publisher's sheet music editions, which are produced in collaboration with leading musicologists (e.g. Leipzig Bach Archive , Max Reger Institute Karlsruhe ), meet both academic and musical requirements. The focus of the publishing program is on the Stuttgart editions with works by Heinrich Schütz , Johann Sebastian Bach , the Bach family , Johannes Brahms , Joseph Haydn and Michael Haydn , Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Franz Schubert .
In 2017, the year of the Reformation Commemoration, the publishing house completed its edition project “Bach vocal” in cooperation with the Leipzig Bach Archive and presented all of Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred vocal works within the Stuttgart Bach edition. The complete edition by the Liechtenstein composer Josef Gabriel Rheinberger was completed in 2009 with over 50 volumes. Together with the Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini in Lucca, Carus is working with other publishers on the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini. At the beginning of December 2018, Puccini's entire organ work was presented for the first time as part of the edition.
In addition to these publishing focuses, there are also rather unknown composers from the Renaissance to the present in the program, who have been published in numerous first editions. In addition, choir collections and choir books are offered to round off the offer for choirs of all kinds.
In addition to sacred music, the publishing program includes many editions in the field of instrumental music and children's choirs as well as school works and music books. Many of the works published in the music program have been released on CD on the publisher's own label Carus . Here, too, there is a focus on musical rarities for which no recordings have been made so far. Among the performers and ensembles are z. B. Dresden Kreuzchor , Freiburg Baroque Orchestra , Chamber Choir Stuttgart , Frieder Bernius and Hans-Christoph Rademann .
In 2009, the publishing house and SWR2 launched the Lieder project, a benefit project for singing with children. Meanwhile, the song project has won a prize in the 365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas competition, which is being carried out by the “Germany - Land of Ideas” initiative under the patronage of the Federal President.
In the spring of 2015, Carus gave choral singers an app for effective rehearsal preparation for the first time with carus music, the choir app.
Since the existence of the publisher, the publisher received many important prizes and awards for his sheet music and his CD recordings: German Music Edition Prize , Prize of the German Record Critics . The publishing house received the Georg Philipp Telemann Prize in 2009 for the publication and distribution of Georg Philipp Telemann's works .
