Josef Gabriel Rheinberger Secular music for women's choir

Read and write feedback
The music of Rheinberger, the Munich composition teacher and court Kapellmeister highly-regarded during his day, is now being heard again worldwide. Performances increasingly focus on his less well known or completely forgotten compositions, something which is largely thanks to the publication of his output in the Complete Edition volumes from Carus. Responding to practical needs, most of the works in the Complete Edition volumes are also available as separate editions with performance material. Four choral collections make Rheinberger’s music available to all those who are largely unfamiliar with it, providing representative selections of this valuable choral literature and creating an appetite for more.

  • During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.
