Description:
Organ reduction/piano reduction: mixed choir (SATB) and organ/piano.
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 as choirmaster in Mauthausen for many years and was a personal acquaintance of Anton Bruckner, stands firmly in the tradition of the church music of 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 rewarding addition for choirs seeking to discover a resonant yet rarely performed work for the Christmas season.
