The
Miserere is based on the
Prelude and Fugue in
B-flat minor from the 1st
part of the
“Well-Tempered
Clavier†by Johann
Sebastian Bach. In his
choral version, Heribert
Breuer transposes the
original down a third and
inserts words from the
51st Psalm, one of the
seven penitential psalms.
The composer
Heribert Breuer conducts
the Berlin Bach Academy,
which he founded. He is
particularly known for
his arrangements of
instrumental pieces for
diverse ensembles. His
choral adaptions (e.g.,
also in our Choral
Collection Beethoven and
Bruckner. Secular Choral
Music) offer a fresh
perspective on the
originals and are a
valuable addition to the
repertoire of any
interested choir.
The
Miserere was recorded by
the Calmus Ensemble for
the CD “Bach for
fiveâ€.
