Description:
Score for choir and orchestra.
A delightful rediscovery of Upper Austrian church music: Carl Nefischer’s Missa in E-flat major remained hidden in the music archive of the Mauthausen parish choir for over 150 years. Now the work is being published for the first time in a modern edition. With its festive musical language, catchy melodies, and pastoral character, it has the potential to take a permanent place in the Christmas church music repertoire.
Nefischer, who served for many years as choirmaster in Mauthausen and was a personal acquaintance of Anton Bruckner, is firmly rooted in the tradition of church music by Joseph and Michael Haydn. The Mass is composed for mixed choir and small orchestra, but can be performed just as effectively with organ alone.
A worthwhile addition for choirs seeking to discover a work for the Christmas season that is both rich in sound and rarely performed.
