German/English. Text:
Meyer, Conrad
Ferdinand.
“F
riede auf Erdenâ€
op. 13 is regarded as
Arnold
Schoenberg’s last
tonal composition and is
one of the few choral
works of the Second
Viennese School. On the
same day that he
completed his op. 13,
Schoenberg made the first
sketches for his 2nd
String Quartet, a key
work in atonal music.
Although Schoenberg later
orchestrated
“Friede auf
Erdenâ€, he intended
the piece to be performed
unaccompanied. To help
rehearsing the work, this
choral score contains the
piano transcription made
by Anton Webern for use
in rehearsals for the
planned first
performance. The text for
op. 13 is a secular
Christmas poem by Conrad
Ferdinand Meyer. At the
time of its composition
(1907), Schoenberg
thought the vision of a
“reine Harmonie
unter Menschenâ€
(pure harmony amongst
people) described in the
poem was conceivable, but
he later distanced
himself from this idea.
What remained is a
composition of great
artistic power and depth
– a real showpiece
for ambitious
choirs!. Score
