The Benedictus and the Agnus Dei are part of the first version of Rheinberger’s first mass setting for choir a cappella, the Mass in E flat JWV 57. The Mass exists in two different versions: the first version of 1856 and the revised version of 1858/59. The revised version is available as a separate edition (Carus 20.277/50) from the supplementary volume 4 of the Rheinberger Complete Works.
The Benedictus and the Agnus Dei from the early version – both completely different pieces from those in the revised version – can be sung alternatively or, of course, independently of the Mass in E flat.
Separate edition from: Supplementary Volume 4 of the Rheinberger Complete Works (Sacred choral works without opus numbers, Carus 50.300)

Composer
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During 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.
