Franz Schubert

Mirjams Siegesgesang D942

Franz Schubert's gripping cantata "Mirjams Siegesgesang" D 942 is one of the most expressive late choral masterpieces by the Viennese composer. Based on a text by Franz Grillparzer, the composition unfolds a dramatic musical depiction of the triumphant Exodus from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea. Scored for soprano solo, mixed choir (SATB), and piano, the work captivates with stirring choral movements, lyrical solo passages, and a masterful final fugue full of energy. This choral score from the renowned Carus-Verlag provides singers with a clear, exceptionally legible layout for effective rehearsals and an inspiring concert performance. An indispensable highlight for any ambitious choral repertoire.
