Piano Excerpts

Die recht umfangreiche und ungewöhnlich reich besetzte 'Missa Divi Xaverii' ZWV 12 von Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745) entstand 1729 während seiner Wirkungszeit am Dresdner Hof und gehört zu den Höhepu...

With timpani and trumpets à la Marseillaise, a French piece of music conquered the public consciousness again in 1953 ("Eurovision anthem") and a composer was rediscovered: Marc-Antoine Charpentier's...

Anton Bruckner composed the first of his three orchestral masses, the Mass in D minor, in just four months in 1864. Nevertheless, it was not completed for Emperor Franz Joseph I's birthday as planned,...

Weber's "Missa sancta No. 1" in E flat major is also known as the "Freischütz Mass", as he composed it in 1818 while working on the opera of the same name. The mass already enjoyed great popularity am...

The Te Deum from 1832, a large-scale festive work, impresses with its rapid changes of expression and warm orchestral colors. The 15-movement composition combines sonorous, sometimes eight-part choral...

We know that the famous opera composers of the Italian bel canto also composed great sacred music, not least thanks to Verdi's Requiem or Puccini's Messa di Gloria, but most of these works still recei...

Turning one's energy to sacred music remains the artist's highest goal, wrote Robert Schumann in January 1851 - even though he had hardly appeared as a composer of sacred music up to that point. In fa...

Bach's Cantata BWV 69a of 1723, which has remained largely unknown to the present day, is now available for the first time in a practical edition with this Carus publication. It has been unjustly negl...

The cantata 'Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte' (I love the Almighty with all of my spirit) BWV 174 was composed for Whit Monday 1729. It probably belongs to Bach's fourth cycle of cantatas, kn...

The Hochzeitskantate (Wedding Cantata) BWV 195 was performed by Bach from around 1730 at various wedding celebrations in different forms, and was evidently also lent out for performances further afiel...

Bach's Mass in B minor is one of his largest and most ambitious works. It occupied the composer for over two decades: from the Sanctus (1724) to the "Missa" of 1733 and the supplementary Ordinary move...

Franz Schubert's "Mass in A flat": a work that occupied the composer time and again, with which - in his words - he strove for the "highest in art" - and perhaps only wanted to achieve a position at t...

The first of Beethoven's two Mass settings is decidedly modern and forward-looking in its subjective, confessional tonal language. It opens up completely new worlds of expression for the liturgical te...

The Missa in c KV 427 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a fascinating work. To speak of "the" mass alone is inaccurate, as it is basically nothing more than a musical torso, full of riddles and problems -...

After his early departure from the opera stage in 1829, Gioachino Rossini only composed larger-scale sacred music in addition to chamber music. This included the "Stabat Mater", which was composed in...

Erich Wolfgang Korngold komponierte lediglich zwei genuin religiöse Werke: den Passover Psalm für Sopran, gemischten Chor, Orgel und Orchester op. 30 sowie Prayer für Tenor, Frauenchor, Harfe und Orge...

(Italian/English version): Rossini's Barber of Seville is certainly the composer's best-known work and one of the most frequently performed operas of all time. This piano reduction follows the highly...
