Geistliche Chormusik für gemischten Chor a cappella
Sacred choral music for mixed choir
Following two CDs devoted to Heinrich von Herzogenberg’s secular choral music, this latest recording is devoted to the composer’s sacred music. Beginning in 1879 Herzogenberg composed a total of fi ve volumes of liturgical settings for the theologian Friedrich Spitta. They are oriented entirely towards practical use in worship services and are organized for various occasions during the church year. The ensemble cantissimo presents a selection from these settings and these are supplemented by their recording of the Four Motets, op. 103.
