Oper In 3 Akten. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger was inspired to compose his first opera by the great cycle of aquarelles entitled “Von den Sieben Raben” by the painter Moritz von Schwind [1804–1871], with whom he was acquainted. The libretto by Franz Bonn [1830–1904] follows in its essentials the story depicted in these pictures, rather than the Grimm fairytale of the same name. The work had its successful world première, conducted by the composer, on 23 May 1869 at the Königliche Hof- und Nationaltheater in Munich. After the second performance in Munich, on the 8 September 1869, a reviewer wrote in the Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung: “The composer was able to express the enchantment of the story, itshigh-spirited simplicity and deep feeling, with great skill, and the lyrical passages of the opera provide the most positive proof of Rheinberger’s talent. ” Possibly Engelbert Humperdinck, who was a pupil of Rheinberger in Munich from 1877 until 1879, was inspired by Die sieben Raben to compose his fairy tale opera Hänsel und Gretel [1893], which helped this genre to achieve great success. / Opéra-opérette / Répertoire / Solistes SSATBB et Orchestre

Tonalité : F-Dur - Op.: 190 -. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinbergers letzte vollendete Messvertonung ist diese F-Dur Messe. Die in den Skizzen enthaltene Devise 'Pro omni tempore, Kat'exochen' sollte die Eignung der Komposition für alle Zeiten des Kirchenjahres anzeigen; der Untertitel ist in die späteren Quellen jedoch nicht eingegangen. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur TTBB et Orgue

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger's concert overtures are completely beholden to the tradition of the genre established at least since the 1820s. The spread of this genre was favored in equal measure by the growth of bourgeois musical culture and the overwhelming model of Beethoven's nine symphonies, which sowed a certain perplexity and discouragement among composers of the next generation and led them to turn increasingly to the smaller single-movement genre in their orchestral music. Soon a generic distinction arose between two types of overture. One was the autonomous overture, whose character results from its specific introductory function. Rheinberger's Academic Overture follows in thissame line of tradition. The other type was the overture with subject-matter, in which the romantic inclination to recreate extra-musical material in music found an expecially fruitful field of exploration. Having originated as the opening item of an opera or play, the overture had, after all, long been accustomed to accommodating the contents of the work that followed. The concert overture on an extra-musical subject is in turn associated in particular with the works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Rheinberger too, closely modeled his opp. 11 and 110 on Mendelssohn's overtures./ Répertoire / Orchestre

In Nativitate Domini'. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger's 'Mass in A Major' is a work that ist easy to perform. Making no use of polyphonic developments, it remains within a harmonic style that is lightened by brief imitative phases. The organ accompaniment serves as a tonal support and expands the three-part writing into four parts. / Messe / Répertoire / Orchestre: Choeur SSA, Flûte Traversière, 2 Violon

Florentiner Sinfonie'. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger began work on his second Symphony during his visit to Italy with his wife in 1874. He was commissioned to write it by an orchestral society in Florence – an indication that his reputation had already spread throughout Europe. The autograph score contains a poem by his wife Fanny, which in four sections expressed the moods of impressions of the visit which seem to underlie the symphony. Contemporaries praised particularly the ”beauty of the Adagio. ” The work is here presented for the first time in an edition based critically on the sources./ Répertoire / Piccolo, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 Clar
