entirely to music, studying at the Königliche
Hochschule für Musik, Berlin, under Schultze and Ernst
Rudorff, and later privately under Friedrich Kiel and
Heinrich Urban. In 1882 Ochs founded the Philharmonic
Choral Society of Berlin, which he would lead until
1920. At first an obscure organization, it became
prominent through numerous performances given by Von
Bülow, an intimate friend of Ochs. It arguably became
the greatest choral society in Berlin and was
distinguished for its helpful patronage of young
musicians, whose compositions were performed for the
first time.
Although originally written for Chorus (SATB) and
Keyboard, I created this arrangement for Flute and
Acoustic Piano.
