For the choir the notes in Schubert’s Mass in C major are not difficult, and yet, there are always surprises when the choir and orchestra coincide. The violins often proceed in sixteenth notes or, as in the Sanctus, are written in complementary rhythms, whereas the choir must count long note values. If the choir is not in perfect rhythm, then performing such passages together can be difficult. It’s good when the choir can hear how the orchestra sounds here, as is also the case for the somewhat unusual modulations which occur in the Credo.
The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate mp3-Audio-CD or a mp3-download containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:
- Original recording
- Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
- Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.
Performers: Ildiko Raimondi (soprano), Elisabeth Lang (alto), Helmut Wildhaber (tenore), Klaus Mertens (basso) – Hugo-Distler-Chor, Wiener Akademie – Katrin Haselböck

Composer
Franz Schubert
| 1797-1828Throughout most of his life Franz Schubert was concerned with church music. When he was eleven he was chosen as treble soloist at his local church in the Vienna suburb of Lichtenthal and soon afterwards he was admitted to the choir of the Imperial Court Chapel, directed by Antonio Salieri. Soon he also began to compose; his earliest surviving sacred pieces date from 1812. During his lifetime his church music achieved a comparatively wide degree of acceptance but after his death, most notably, his smaller works were unjustly forgotten. The Carus programme encompasses Schubert’s complete sacred compositions and it is intended to emphasize the wide range of his works in this area. Many of the smaller liturgical compositions are published here for the first time in separate editions. What is to be discovered is a fascinating œuvre, rooted in the ‘stile antico’ of Antonio Salieri and in the compositions of the Viennese classical masters, but whose exquisite lyricism and harmonic subtlety reveal a typically Schubertian world of expression: works with great power of conviction and exceptional musical beauty.
