Publisher Description: Josef Gabriel Rheinberger was one of nineteenth-century Germany's most gifted teachers and composers. Rheinberger wrote works reminiscent of those of Brahms and Schumann, and yet their attractive lyricism is unique. This tribute to the works of Rheinberger includes his eight-part a cappella Mass in E-flat Major, Mass in F for Male Choir, and Mass in G Minor for Female Choir, as well as three of his motets. |
Contributor Bio(s): Gloriae Dei Cantores: - Gloriae Dei Cantores (Singers to the Glory of God) holds a passionate dedication to the faithful representation of spiritual and musical authenticity in the choral arts. Sharing its vision of inspiration and hope, the choir has touched the hearts of audiences in twenty-four countries in Europe and Asia, as well as extensive tours and concert series in the United States. The choir's catalog of more than fifty recordings showcases an expansive repertoire, encompassing both masterworks and rarely performed musical treasures from Gregorian chant to the twenty-first century. Richard K. Pugsley and Gloriae Dei Cantores have garnered high praise for bringing lesser- known, yet fully deserving composers and their works to light. The choir makes its home at the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans, Massachusetts, where it sings worship services throughout the year. |
