| Added by magataganm, 14 Aug 2013 Anton Cajetan Adlgasser (1729 – 1777) was a German organist and composer at Salzburg Cathedral and at court, and composed a good deal of liturgical music (including eight masses and two requiems) as well as oratorios and orchestral and keyboard works. Born in Inzell, Bavaria, he moved to Salzburg, where he studied under Johann Ernst Eberlin. From 1750 he was organist at the Salzburg Cathedral, where he remained the rest of his life. After a visit to Italy in 1764-5 he set Metastasio's La Nitteti (his only opera) performed in Salzburg (1767), and in 1767 he collaborated with Mozart and Michael Haydn on the oratorio Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots. Mozart, who had a high regard for Adlgasser's music, succeeded him as Organist at Salzburg Cathedral in 1777. Adlgasser's first marriage, in 1752, was to Maria Josepha, the daughter of his predecessor, J.E. Eberlin, at Salzburg Cathedral. Four years later he married Maria Barbara Schwab, and in 1769 the court singer Maria Anna Fesemayer (1743–82), who sang in Die Schuldigkeit and created the role of Ninetta in La finta semplice. Leopold Mozart stood witness to the third wedding. The English Lyrics read: "Say among the nations, the Lord hath reigned from the wood. Sweet the wood, sweet the nails, the weight of bearing sweet, thou alone wast worthy to bear the King of heaven and the Lord. Enthroned". Although originally created for accompanied chorus, I created this arrangement for Woodwinds (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, & Bassoon), String Ensemble (Violins (2), Viola, Cello, Bass & Contrabass) & Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
