Friedrich Schneider's dedication to sacred vocal music dates back into his early years as a schoolboy in Zittau. As of today Schneider is - if at all - only known as the composer of the ground-breaking oratorio The Last Judgement, but his extensive compositional output, which serves nearly all musical genres, is unknown to a great extent. Breitkopf & Hartel will fill this gap in the coming years.The mass in A minor presented here (No. 8) is his second completed a-cappella mass. It was composed during September 9 to 28, 1815 and thus still falls into the almost overproductive Leipzig years of the composer. It would be no exaggeration to say, that Schneider gained his overwhelming treatment and the finishing touches of the choruses in his oratorios by his year long preoccupation with the genre of the mass. Although the majority of his masses remained unpublished, they enjoyed great popularity, which is evidently by the numerous copies that are preserved in several libraries.

Successful from the outsetFriedrich Schneider's second oratorio Das Weltgericht was an immediate success at its 1820 premiere in Leipzig. The initial triumph of the work, which the appearance of Mendelssohn's oratorio Paulus only gradually diminished, helped the new type of choral oratorio to its breakthrough. To this day the work has been considered the high point of the German oratorio genre between Haydn and Mendelssohn as where the storyline is essentially borne by the choir. With the appearance of this Urtext edition taken over from the catalogue of the Pfefferkorn music publishers, the Last Judgment is once again fully available. Also for sale in addition to the score is the very playable piano reduction prepared by the composer himself.

This Passion oratorio Gethsemane und Golgatha was composed in the astonishingly short period from 22 to 28 July 1838 on a text by the evangelist Wilhelm Schuber, a close friend of Friedrich Schneider's. The premiere took place on Good Friday, 29 March 1839, in the Dessau Castle and City Church under the composer's direction. Contemporary reviews rank the curious work ... with respect to the form, in line with the Passions of the great J. S. Bach, constructed with such pious meaning and high art [...] and then get rather similarly carried away in effusive statements. The composer himself took utmost control of how his work was to be used and also most effectively involved the listening congregation in the performances by using for the chorales melodies that were sufficiently familiar from the worship service. At the same time, Schneider points out that the work was to be performed only in an ecclesiastical context. Purely as a Passion oratorio, Gethsemane und Golgatha fits in between the Johann Sebastian Bach Passions and Carl Loewe's Das Suhnopfer des neuen Bundes.
