The Song of the Mass: German Romantic Choral Music
Musical Director: James Potter
​
Rheinberger’s a cappella Mass for double choir (subtitled 'The Song of the Mass') is one of the most beautiful choral works of the 19th century: elegant, rich and flowing. We place it among other sublime choral music from Romantic-era Germany, with songs, sacred music, and lieder by Brahms and Mendelssohn, as well as neglected songs by Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny Hensel.
Programme:
  • Felix Mendelssohn Jauchzet dem Herrn
  • Felix Mendelssohn Denn er hat seinen Engeln befohlen
  • Johannes Brahms Fünf Gesänge (Op. 104)
  • Fanny Hensel Gartenlieder (Op. 3)
  • Josef​ Rheinberger Mass in Eb major (‘Cantus Missae')
