Franz Liszt's Via crucis for soloists, choir and organ is a musical representation of the Stations of the Cross, and as such it’s a unique work. This applies not only to the genre as such, but also to the musical structure – its progressive harmony, expressiveness and varied formal vocabulary. Half of the fourteen Stations of the Cross are composed either solely or predominantly for the organ, and while they are technically only moderately demanding, they’re musically highly sophisticated. The edition contains a detailed list of the possible vocal scorings, which reveal that a performance without any soloists at all is certainly conceivable.

es glänzt das heilge Kreuz hervor,
an dem den Tod das Leben starb
und Leben durch den Tod erwarb.
Erfüllt ist nun, was David schon
verkündet aller Nation,
da er die Prophezeihung gab,
Gott hat regiert vom Kreuz herab.
Amen.
O Kreuz, du unsre Hoffnung bist,
in dieser Bußzeit sei gegrüßt,

Composer
Franz Liszt
| 1811-1886Franz Liszt was born in 1811 in Raiding (formerly Hungary) and died in Bayreuth in 1886. From the age of six he took piano lessons from his father and in 1822/23 he studied with Czerny and Salieri in Vienna. He spent the years after 1823 in Paris, where his acquaintances with Rossini, Bellini, Meyerbeer, as well as Chopin, Berlioz, and Paganini had a strong influence upon him. Literarily he was also impressed by Victor Hugo. During his extended concert tours from 1838 to 1847 Liszt enjoyed great triumphs. Beginning in 1848 he then lived in Weimar, where he composed the symphonic poems and some of his most important piano works (Sonata in B minor, Piano Concerto No. 1, etc.). From 1861 he lived in Rome, where he took minor orders . Personal details
