According to Otto Ursprung, Cantus missae is the “most beautiful, pure vocal music of the 19th century”. This is Rheinberger’s only Mass written for double choir. It obtains its special character through the use of compositional techniques of ancient classical vocal polyphony, which are combined with functional harmony and expressive, songlike voice-leading. Rheinberger was honored for this Mass with the Gregorius Medal in 1879 by Pope Leo XIII.

Annett Reischert-Bruckmann (1999)
Translation: John CoombsAfter the mid-18th century the place of women in the world of music underwent a remarkable change. Until then women had restricted their music making to a domestic setting, but from the middle of the century onwards they appeared more and more frequently as participants in public performances. Music education for girls was expressly included in the syllabus of schools, and in 1834 singing even became a compulsory subject in the elementary schools in Berlin.
This development led to an increase in the activity of female-voice choirs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, since composers of repute such as Hector Berlioz, Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, Gustav Mahler and Giuseppe Verdi wrote works for female-voice choirs. Nevertheless, male-voice choirs still remained predominant. While the number of male-voice

Annett Reischert-Bruckmann (1999)
Seit Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts veränderte sich die Stellung der Frau im gesellschaftlichen Musikleben in bemerkenswerter Weise. Hatten sich Frauen bis dahin darauf beschränkt, im häuslichen Kreis zu musizieren, traten sie nun auch als Musikerinnen mehr und mehr an die Öffentlichkeit. Im Lehrplan der Schulen sah man jetzt ausdrücklich Musikerziehung für Mädchen vor, und im Jahre 1834 wurde das Singen nach Noten sowie das Chorsingen an den Elementarschulen Berlins sogar zu Pflichtfächern erhoben.
Diese Entwicklung setzte sich fort in einem Aufschwung des Frauenchorgesangs Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts, als namhafte Komponisten wie Hector Berlioz, Johannes Brahms, Claude Debussy, Franz Liszt, Gustav Mahler und Giuseppe Verdi Werke für Frauenchor verfassten. Dennoch blieb das Männerchorwesen

Composer
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.
