| Added by magataganm, 22 Sep 2013 Joseph Ignaz Schnabel (1767 - 1831) was a German composer and church musician. Schnabel came from a musical family and was taught music early on by his father. As a child he was a chorister of the church in Wroclaw Vincent and attended by age 12, because he wanted to be a priest, St. Matthias School. By a fall in the water, he retired due to chronic ear problems, so he was no longer considered a career as a suitable priest. Schnabel's compositional output consisted mainly instrumental accompaniment church music. With it, he established a special Silesian tradition, also known as Breslau school, which was widely independent of restorative tendencies still alive until the Second World War. Schnabel's best-known work is his treatment of the archives of the Wrocław Cathedral Weihnachtspastorale found an unknown composers from the early 18th Century, "Transeamus usque Bethlehem" (Travel to Bethelem), which must now be counted in the standard repertoire of many church choirs. Although originally created for accompanied chorus, I created this arrangement of "Natum vidimus et choros Angelorum collaudantes Dominum" ("We saw the child, and the choirs of angels praising the Lord") for Acoustic Piano & Woodwind Quartet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet and Bassoon). | |||
