Franz Schreker had a long and close association with choral music. As founder and director of Vienna's Philharmonic Chorus he led world premieres and first performances of works by contemporary composers. It is surprising, therefore, that Schreker wrote relatively few independent choral works; only three of these works (with various scorings) were published in his lifetime. Now, for the first time this critical edition, prepared by Christopher Hailey, director of the Franz Schreker Foundation, makes available a body of works that sheds new light on Schreker’s musical evolution and, in its own right, constitutes a notable addition to twentieth-century choral literature.

Contents (10 works) Biographical details and role Feedback

Contents

  • Franz Schreker was an Austrian composer and librettist. During his lifetime, Schreker was known alongside Richard Strauss as one of the most famous opera composers after Wagner. His late Romantic musical language also features expressionist elements. He wrote most of his opera libretti himself. In them, he created psychological portraits of his protagonists, some of which contain autobiographical references.

    Franz Schreker's music was also denounced as ‘degenerate’ by the National Socialists, and it was not until the late 1970s that a renewed interest in Schreker's music began. Since then, more and more recordings of his music have been released.
