Geistliche Gesänge I für Solostimme bzw. Frauenchor mit Begleitung (GA, Bd. 6)
Of the works presented in volume 6, the Four elegiac Songs op. 128 for solo voice and organ, with their arialike characteristics, are musically among the most demanding compositions. The Marian Hymns
op. 171 display a variety of scorings for small ensembles, a trait which characterizes all the songs in this volume: This opus contains pieces for one, two or three voices. In addition, No. 1 (Ave Maria) appears in versions for either low- or high-registered voice. The appendix of this volume includes alternate versions for a few works in this volume, some of which are first editions, including Quam dilecta, which is a Latin version, with harp and organ, of the hymn Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen op. 35.

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.
