O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf. Composed by Max Bruch. Edited by Minkus Teske. Violin 2. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Advent. Single Part, Violin 2. Composed 1868/1869. Op. 29. 8 pages. Duration 14 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 10.364/12. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.1036412).

ISBN 9790007190392. Text language: German. Text: von Spee, Friedrich / Simrock, Karl.

Max Bruch succeeded in composing an impressive setting of the well known Advent text, O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf (O Saviour, tear open the heavens). Compositionally it is extremely sophisticated in its construction; Bruch combines both the choir and orchestra in a powerfully expressive and moving portrayal of mankind waiting for the coming of the Saviour. Following the premiere of the work in 1869 it was celebrated as Bruch's most important choral work, but later it fell largely into oblivion. Almost 150 years after it was composed, for the first time a critical-scholarly edition is now available to the public. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1036400.

Contents
There comes a galley, laden / Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
O saviour, open heaven's gate / O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf
O Lord, how shall I meet you / Wie soll ich dich empfangen
Angels from the realms of Glory / Hort der Engel helle Lieder
As I was watching o'er my sheep / Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht
Good Christian men rejoice / Nun singet und seid froh
