Orchestral version op. 12, 1860

Read and write feedback
The use of strongly contrasting themes, the developmental technique, and the broad sweep of an abundance of melodic invention are unmistakable hallmarks of the symphonic style. Beautiful wind passages, rippling harp arpeggios, and the romantic sound of the solo cello are features of the instrumentation.

This edition contains both the orchestral version as well as a reduced (non-origina)l version with organ instead of wind instruments. The version for smaller forces made by Franck, with harp, cello, double bass, and organ instead of orchestra (organ version), is also available. All versions can be performed with the original three-part choral scoring (soprano, tenor, bass) as well as in a four-part version more suitable for modern use.

Additional product information
  • Der Vater erkannte früh seine Begabung und gab ihn 1831 zur musikalischen Ausbildung an das Konservatorium Lüttich in Belgien. Vier Jahre später zog die Familie nach Paris, wo der fünfzehnjährige César ebenfalls am Konservatorium aufgenommen wurde und in die Klavierklasse Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermanns kam. Auch besuchte er die Klassen in Kontrapunkt bei Aimé Ambroise Simon Leborne, Komposition bei Henri-Montan Berton und Orgel bei François Benoist. In dieser Zeit entstanden seine ersten kammermusikalischen Werke, wie die 3 trios concertants für Violine, Violoncello und Klavier. 1858 wurde er Titularorganist in der Ste. Clotilde-Kirche in Paris, für welche er ein eigenes Repertoire komponierte. Darunter befindet sich u.a. das Oratorium über Die Sieben Worte Jesu am Kreuz 1859, welches beim Carus-Verlag erhältlich ist.
