Book Recommendations
Anton Bruckner: The Man and the Work. (English)
Constantin Floros' thesis in this study is that contrary to what has hitherto been asserted, there is an intimate relation between Bruckner’s sacred music and his symphonies from multiple perspectives: biographical data, sources and influences, the psychology of creation, musical structure, contemporary testimony and reception history.
Anton Bruckner Letters 1852-1886 (German)
Edited with the latest research and incorporating new source findings, this letter collection not only includes correspondence from and to Anton Bruckner but also letters referring to him and his work.
Anton Bruckner – Ein Leben mit Musik (German)
For Anton Bruckner's 200th birthday, Felix Diergarten presents the long-awaited, thoroughly researched biography. Written in an accessible and vivid style, it reassesses old and new images of Bruckner through the sources. Each chapter also focuses on a specific work of Bruckner, illustrating how his compositions fit into his life worlds.
Concert Highlights in the Bruckner Year
New Releases from Carus Verlag for the Bruckner Year
Bruckner Sacred Choral Music
Bruckner Sacred Choral Music
Great art in a small space – the smaller sacred works reveal the symphonist and composer of demanding orchestral masses from a very personal side. In addition to the well-known motets, the choral book also includes smaller church works such as short a cappella or organ mass settings, simpler liturgical songs and hymns, some with organ, occasionally with trombones. All works are available as individual editions, both printed and digital.
Bruckner Secular Choral Music
Bruckner Secular Choral Music
For curious choirs: Sometimes classical-romantic, sometimes jazzy – the choral book Bruckner. Secular Choral Music offers exciting discoveries and new arrangements in various levels of difficulty. Anton Bruckner’s secular choral music remains overshadowed by his great symphonies and well-known sacred choral works – unjustly so, as choral experts Simon Halsey and Jan Schumacher demonstrate with their small but excellent selection of choral music to secular texts. All works are available as individual editions, both printed and digital.
Te Deum – Arrangement for Small Ensemble
Te Deum – Major Works in Small Ensemble
The Te Deum is now probably the most frequently performed vocal work by Bruckner. The greatest challenges for the choir are the high range and the massive orchestration of this extremely effective piece: Often, the choir must assert itself against a large orchestra in fortissimo! This is significantly easier in the arrangement with two pianos, and the reduction of the sound density reveals compositional structures that might otherwise be lost in the orchestral sound.
Mass in D Minor – Arrangement for Small Ensemble
Mass in D Minor – Major Works in Small Ensemble
In the Mass in D Minor from 1864, Bruckner’s symphonic style of mass composition is first evident. Nevertheless, the work does not place the high demands on performers that characterise the two later masses. The present arrangement for soloists, choir, and 2 pianos provides the composition with chamber-music transparency.
