German Mass

Franz Schubert’s popular German Mass of 1827 follows in the footsteps of Michael Haydn’s work Deutsches Hochamt by turning to a German translation of the Ordinary mass. Its homophonic texture and largely syllabic setting of the words make it more accessible to lay choruses than Schubert’s masses in Latin an advantage reinforced by its diatonic melodic writing and constantly slow tempos.The present edition reproduces the Urtext from the New Schubert Edition and presents the definitive second version for chorus and wind instruments. Since the piano reduction basically follows the choral lines and Schubert’s original organ part however the Mass can also be performedwith organ accompaniment.- Urtext from the New Schubert Edition- Standard work in the church music repertoire- Can be accompanied by organ or wind instruments- No vocal soloists necessary

Now it has been arranged for female choir and is appearing as part of the recently started “Bärenreiter Female Choir” series. Heribert Breuer has judiciously transferred the tenor and bass solos to the high voices and incorporated the original soprano and alto parts largely unchanged into the solo and chorus parts. He has thereby retained the work’s original substance while giving it a wholly new and delightful sound. • Arrangement for female choir (SMezAA) based on the Urtext of the “New Mozart Edition” • Idiomatic piano reduction Heribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is the founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie and has made a name for himself with his many arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.

Hier Liegt Vor Deiner Majestät. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. Although the music of the younger Haydn brother was highly regarded by his contemporaries, his music was forgotten in the 19th century and still waits to be rediscovered. One of his more well-known works is the central piece on the present CD, the German Mass “Hier liegt vor deiner Majestät” MH 560 [Here before thy majesty], a work which is musically the epitome of south-German/Austrian Catholicism and which to this day is still a part of church music practice in this region. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes (2 Violons), 2 Bassons,

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) great Austrian composer was a supreme melodist and master of lieder. This transcription is based on his Sanctus (Holy Holy Holy) from his German Mass in F. (ca. 1815) for four-part choir and lends itself well to the expressive qualities of the modern brass quintet.
