Arnold Schoenberg

Ger.. Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. Medium Voice - Piano / Contemporain / Répertoire / Chant et Piano

A wonderful collection of Seven Early Songs from Arnold Schoenberg. Six of these songs were discovered together in a manuscript which now resides at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute in Los Angeles. Unfortunately many of the surviving copies of the songs were used as performance copies and none of them reached publication. Brought together for the first time in over 100 years these songs have been returned to their former glory by editor Leonard Stein. In the original German with English translation.

Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. ?Friede auf Erden? op. 13 is regarded as Arnold Schoenberg?s last tonal composition and is one of the few choral works of the Second Viennese School. On the same day that he completed his op. 13, Schoenberg made the first sketches for his 2nd String Quartet, a key work in atonal music. Although Schoenberg later orchestrated ?Friede auf Erden?, he intended the piece to be performed unaccompanied.To help rehearsing the work, this choral score contains the piano transcription made by Anton Webern for use in rehearsals for the planned first performance. The text for op. 13 is a secular Christmas poem by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. At the time of its composition (1907), Schoenberg thought the vision of a ?reine Harmonie unter Menschen? (pure harmony amongst people) described in the poem was conceivable, but he later distanced himself from this idea. What remained is a composition of great artistic power and depth ? a real showpiece for ambitious choirs! / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / SSAATTBB A Cappella
