Psalm 150 (1892)

SKU: CA.2741014

ISBN 9790007297312. Key: C major. German/English.

Bruckner described his setting of Psalm 150 of 1892 as my best festive cantata of all. Psalm 150 has a definite festive character, manifested straight away in the monumental Hallelujah theme for the full forces which opens the cantata, and which punctuates the work and concludes it. Bruckner devotes most of his music to the verse Alles was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn - firstly in an exciting section with solo violin and solo soprano, and subsequently in a great fugue on a striking octave theme. All in all, a fascinating combination of filigree motifs, chromatically bold complexities and intensifications, and powerful passages up to triple forte. The chorus is often divided in the homophonic passages, with wide vocal ranges, but the fugue remains in four parts.With a duration of just 9 minutes, this is an ideal companion piece for other shorter works by Bruckner (such as the Te Deum) or, indeed, works by other composers.

Volume 11 of the “Songs and Choral Works” Series contains the Drei Chöre op. 6 (1892), Reger’s only original composition for a mixed vocal scoring and piano, in which he used his two-color method of notation for the first time (musical text in black, performance instructions in red). In addition, the volume contains the piano reductions of some of the choral-symphonic works which Reger composed between 1903 and 1914 – the Gesang der Verklärten op. 71, Psalm 100 op. 106, Nonnen op. 112, Einsiedler op. 144a and the Requiem op. 144b, and the Weihegesang WoO V/6 for alto, mixed choir and winds.

In January 2008 the Max-Reger-Institut (MRI) in Karlsruhe began publishing a scholarly-critical edition of the works of Reger (RWA). As a Hybrid Edition it is exploring new approaches in editorial techniques.
The digital component for this volume will be published in an online portal.
