Ludwig van Beethoven: Choral Collection Beethoven
choral collection, conductor's score, with CD
moreIn 2020 the music world will celebrate the
anniversary of one of the most influential composers in the history of music:
Ludwig van Beethoven. Many of his compositions are seminal works which have had
a lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists. With the inclusion of
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony as the very first composition in its "Memory of the
World" World Heritage List, UNESCO has paid homage to this outstanding artistic
personality at the beginning of the 21st century. The instrumental version of
the last movement was officially adopted as the anthem of the European Union in
the 1980s.
Beethoven himself regarded his Missa solemnis as his most important work.
And he held his earlier setting of the mass, the Mass in C major, in high
regard throughout his career. The work reveals a wealth of expression in the
liturgical text which looked far beyond Beethoven’s time.
Beethoven vocal
With the Beethoven vocal project,
Carus is making accessible Beethoven’s choral
music. The two masses are available in modern Urtext editions, and for the
final movement of the 9th Symphony a practical performing vocal score has been
newly arranged. Many other choral works, including a Beethoven
choral collection and his only oratorio "Christus am Ölberge", complete our
vocal program. We offer practical support for rehearsing
these major works with carus music, the choir app, or our practice CDs in the Carus Choir Coach series.

A film with editor Jan Schumacher about the Choral Collection Beethoven.
Gain an impression of this arrangement by Gottlob Benedict Bierey, who orchestrated the first movement of the famous "Moonlight Sonata" and added a four-part choral movement to it.
What would Beethoven have said about that?
