Deutsche Bauernmesse

Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Alpine folk music with the “Deutsche Bauernmesse - Ausgabe A” (German Folk Mass), published by the renowned Max Hieber Musikverlag. This lovingly curated full score brings together traditional songs and melodies from the Bavarian-Austrian Alpine region, capturing the authentic, devotional spirit of alpine sacred music.

Scored for three vocal parts and instrumental ensemble, the work unfolds its unique magic through the natural harmony of blended chords. In keeping with authentic performance tradition, this mass is best performed from memory, without a conductor, and with an intuitive sense of harmonic unity—whether accompanied by the ensemble or sung atmospheric a cappella. An indispensable edition for choirs, vocal ensembles, and folk music groups seeking to keep living heritage alive.
