Description:
What happens when you combine Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" with the liturgical Kyrie? Composer and conductor Gottlob Benedict Bierey (1772-1840) dared to undertake this experiment—with a result that is as astonishing as it is harmonious! He orchestrated the famous first movement of Beethoven's masterpiece and added a four-part mixed choral setting (SATB) with the Kyrie text (Carus 28.009/00). Christiane Rosiny's arrangement in the KLANGSTARK series makes this special work accessible even to choirs with few (or very young) male voices, while treating Bierey's choral setting with the utmost care: The outer parts remain virtually unchanged, while the middle parts are arranged for two resonant alto voices. The edition is published as a version for choir (SAAB) and piano. The piano part follows Beethoven's familiar sonata form in the original key of C-sharp minor.
