Tonalité : F-Dur - Op.: 190 -. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinbergers letzte vollendete Messvertonung ist diese F-Dur Messe. Die in den Skizzen enthaltene Devise 'Pro omni tempore, Kat'exochen' sollte die Eignung der Komposition für alle Zeiten des Kirchenjahres anzeigen; der Untertitel ist in die späteren Quellen jedoch nicht eingegangen. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur TTBB et Orgue

Ballade. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Das Werk beruht auf einer Ballade Paul Heyses, die in eindringlichen Versen schildert, wie ein Maurenheer bei seinem Zug durch die Pyrenäen sich plötzlich an die Heimat erinnert fühlt und genau in diesem Moment einem Hinterhalt der Basken zum Opfer fällt. Mit ihrem klangvollen Chorsatz, ihrer farbigen Orchestrierung und ihrer subtilen Textausdeutung durch motivische Querbezüge setzt Rheinbergers Vertonung das Geschehen wirkungsvoll in Szene./ Répertoire / Choeur TTBB, Piccolo, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hau

Singspiel In Zwei Akten Für Die Jugendliche Welt. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinbergers Singspiel, frei nach dem Märchen „Kalif Storch“, hat orientalisches Flair. Der Kalif und der Großwesir von Bagdad werden durch magische List eines Rivalen in Störche verwandelt. Ein Zauberwort kann sie wieder zurückverwandeln, doch ist es ihnen entfallen … Kann die Nachteule die beiden retten? Die Geschichte vom Kalifen, dem Tuchkrämer und den Tieren bietet eine bunte Palette an Verkleidungsmöglichkeiten. Für die liedhaften Soli, Duette und Terzette braucht man jugendliche Sänger, der zweistimmige Chor aber ist so einfach gehalten, dass ihn auch kleinere Kinder gut singen können. / Opéra-opérette / Répertoire / 7 Solistes, 5 Récitants, Choeur SA et Piano (2 à 4

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger’s string quartets, his string quintet and his nonet for winds and strings were often performed and were very successful works during his lifetime. Their density, but also the delicateness of the scherzo movements are in the tradition of Schumann and Mendelssohn and these traits are combined with Rheinberger’s sense for the clear, defined structure of the movements and solid contrapuntal writing. The octet for winds and strings is published here for the first time and the nonet, which is actually a reworking of this octet that Rheinberger undertook some twenty years later, is also published in this volume. Rheinberger made major changes from the original octet and headded two new movements to the nonet. Both works show especially the interest and pleasure which he derived from the variety in the differentiation of colors in ensemble playing. The Thema mit Veränderungen op. 93, which until now has been known as a work for string quartet, is published here with the double bass part which Rheinberger later added./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Collection with 20 shorter organ works. Rheinberger did not write organ music for the worship service. This edition compiles trios, fughettas, passacaglias and character pieces from Rheinberger's extensive oeuvre for the organ. Due to their duration and degree of difficulty they are suitable for the liturgical organ playing, where they can be played as preludes, intermezzi and postludes. The collection therefore aims to help establish Rheinberger's organ music for liturgical use./ Répertoire / Orgue

Josef Rheinberger (b. 1839 d. 1901) was a prolific composer in almost every field but he found in the Organ the medium best fitted to his genius and temperament. This seems to be proved by the fact that his reputation as an Organ composer has grown and is now firmly established whereas his position in other branches has declined. His twenty sonatas and his numerous shorter pieces (about a hundred) make up one of the most important contributions to the Organ repertory. It may indeed be claimed that in the maintenance of a high level of quality and interest throughout a long series of works of both large and small scale his position as an Organ composer issecond only to that of Bach. Sonata No. 19:The G minor Sonata is one of a small proportion of the twenty - No. 15 in D is another - concerning whose merits players are divided. It does not meet one half-way. It is the longest of the twenty: some monotony inevitably results from the use of the key of G for all its movements : its difficulties are of the ungrateful type : and the vigour of its first movement is often rough-even harsh. Yet it appears to be among the favourites of those who know it well; the late Dr. G. J. Bennett (a pupil of Rheinberger's and a devotee of the Sonatas) placed it among the best of the later numbers. Sonata No. 20:In spite of some inequalities No. 20 makes a worthy end to a fine series. Rheinberger's failing health at the time of its composition is no doubt responsible for a few moments of indecision especially in the Finale. The invention shows little if any falling off. In all the sonatas there are few better themes of the broad diatonic type than that which opens the first movement ; and the pleasant tunes of the Intermezzo and Pastoral and the swinging subject of the Finale are in the true Rheinberger vein. But the lack of a substantial fugal section is felt: it might well have come as a central portion of the Finale which

Sinfonisches Tongemälde. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger’s first Symphony was among the most successful and frequently performed new symphonies following its premiere in 1866. This “symphonic tone painting” in four movements [Prelude, Thekla, Wallenstein’s Camp, Wallenstein’s Death], which is based on Schiller’s trilogy of dramas, was Rheinberger’s only excursion into the realm of programme music. The influence of Beethoven is unmistakable, the lively 3rd movement [scherzo/trio] depicts with much humour the life of a soldier, and the sermon portrays of the zealous capuchin monk./ Répertoire / Piccolo, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 Clar

Gesamtausgabe, Bd 48. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN / MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Pianists and lovers of piano music will be pleased with volume 48, which contains Rheinberger’s arrangement for two pianos [WoO 3] of Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988. Through the doubling of voices, the contrapuntal thickening of the thematic material and by distributing the writing of the original over two pianos, Rheinberger has arranged the cycle of variations into a work in the style of the 19th century. In addition to this monolithic work of piano artistry, two arrangements of sets of variations by W. A. Mozart [K. 500 and 613] are included in this volume. They show how carefully and creatively Rheinberger treated the original compositions when making his arrangements./ Répertoire / Ensemble Instrumental

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. On account of their melodic beauty and the network of motivic development between the individual movements, the four piano trios are among the most attractive of Rheinberger's works. All works are also available in separate editions./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre
