Program Notes

Abendlied (Evening Song), Op. 69/3, is a sacred motet by Josef Rheinberger for a six-part mixed choir (SSATTB). It has been regarded as his best-known sacred composition. He wrote the first version in 1855 at the age of 15. The text is a verse from the biblical narration of the Road to Emmaus appearance according to Luke 24:29 in Martin Luther's German version of the Bible.

- Program Note from Wikipedia


Written in 1873, Evening Song is one of the best-known choral works of Josef Rheinberger (1839-1901), German composer, organist and teacher. Displaying an exceptional lyric quality and utilizing a full range of dynamic contrast, Shelley Hanson's arrangement is specifically designed with flexible instrumentation to be performed in a variety of ways. This piece is equally effective whether performed by a traditional concert band or by a smaller chamber ensemble.
