Well-known for his magnificent instrumental works and violin sonatas, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber is unjustly less recognized as a composer of sacred music. His works for Salzburg Cathedral were mainly written after 1670. The Stabat Mater is an impressive setting for use in worship, and includes four or six verses of the hymn. The four-part composition displays great simplicity yet stunning beauty, particularly in the concise contrapuntal presentation of each individual verse. Score available separately - see item CA.2729200.

SSATB vocal soli, SSATB choir, orchestra

SKU: CA.2731815

Composed by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Edited by Armin Kircher. Arranged by Paul Horn. Sacred music from Salzburg. Viola 3. Sacred vocal music, Requiem. Single Part, Viola 3. 8 pages. Duration 28 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 27.318/15. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.2731815).

ISBN 9790007201906. Key: F minor. Text language: Latin.

Biber's Requiem in F minor is amongst the most impressive settings of the Requiem Mass of the 17th century. The exact reason for the composition of the Requiem, which can be dated to 1692, is not known. The dark key color of F minor is emphasized by the instrumental scoring for two violins, three violas, basso continuo and three trombones (colla parte with the chorus). The vivid language of the Requiem text offered Biber a wealth of possibilities for expressive, musical interpretation. The intensity of the musical language used to portray lamenting and mourning is impressive. In the course of publication of the Biber Requiem, surprisingly the primary source, which until now had been thought to be missing, resurfaced and the edition could be prepared based on this astonishing discovery. This is a work of mid-level difficulty for a choir and with the clear disposition of the string parts it is well suited for performance by amateur choirs. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2731800.

SKU: CA.4067649

Composed by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Edited by Armin Kircher. Arranged by Paul Horn. Sacred music from Salzburg. Missa Sti Henrici. Sacred vocal music, Masses, Latin. Single Part, Organ. Composed 1696. 24 pages. Carus Verlag #CV 40.676/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4067649).

ISBN 9790007220167. Text language: Latin.

The Missa Sancti Henrici is a work of Biber's later years. It is one of his largest and most mature pieces of church music. With the skillful alternation of the stile antico and the stile moderno, as well as the contrast between Solo and Tutti, Biber attained a structure within the individual movements rich in variety. In its original architectural conception, Salzburg Cathedral had four galleries, each with its own organ, on the piers supporting the dome at the crossing. This conception created the spatial prerequisite for double- and polychoral performance tradition on the Venetian model. Biber's magnificent sacred music brought this tradition to a point of culmination in a ,,colossal style that was unique in transalpine Europe. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4067600.
