Fran
z Schreker had a long and
close association with
choral music. As founder
and director of Vienna's
Philharmonic Chorus he
led world premieres and
first performances of
works by contemporary
composers. It is
surprising, therefore,
that Schreker wrote
relatively few
independent choral works;
only three of these works
(with various scorings)
were published in his
lifetime. Now, for the
first time this critical
edition, prepared by
Christopher Hailey,
director of the Franz
Schreker Foundation,
makes available a body of
works that sheds new
light on Schreker's
musical evolution and, in
its own right,
constitutes a notable
addition to
twentieth-century choral
literature.
