Шаблон:Lang (The song of the heights), WAB 74, is a song for double men's choir and three soloists, which Anton Bruckner composed in 1876 on a text by Heinrich von der Mattig.

History

Bruckner composed Das hohe Lied on a text of Heinrich von der Mattig on 31 December 1876 as homage to the Шаблон:Lang (Academic singing association of Vienna).[1] Шаблон:Lang is a German name of the Song of Songs, which is possibly an intentional allusion.

During the rehearsals, the choir found the work difficult to perform because of the use of humming voices. Therefore, conductor Richard Heuberger asked Bruckner to revise the work. When revising the work in 1879, Bruckner added an accompaniment of strings and brass instruments. On 10 December 1879 a new rehearsal occurred under Bruckner's baton, but was not followed by a public performance. The first public performance occurred posthumously in 1902 in a transcription by Hans Wagner.

The original manuscript is stored in the archive of the Шаблон:Lang.[1][2] Wagner's transcription was issued by Doblinger, Vienna in 1902. The original setting of 1876 is issued in Band XXIII/2, No. 27 of the Шаблон:Lang.[3] The revised setting of 1879 is put in an Appendix to Band XXIII/2 of the Шаблон:Lang.[3]

Text

Шаблон:Lang is based on a text by Heinrich von der Mattig.

<poem>Шаблон:Lang</poem> <poem>In the valley, the rustling mill disturbs the walker's song,

Until he escapes through forest darkness up to the mountains. And in the valley, the mill is rustling ever more distantly. And ever more strongly resonates the song. The heights are reached, the song is now alone And floats on aerial waves into the evening's red.</poem>

Music

The 84-bar long work in A-flat major is scored for [[SATB|Шаблон:Abbr]] double choir, and 2 tenor and a baritone soloists. Similarly to Шаблон:Lang, the first part (44 bars) is sung by the soloists with an accompaniment of humming voices, figuring the rustling mill. From "Шаблон:Lang", the melody is taken over by the double choir.

Because of the performance difficulties (humming voices) encountered during the rehearsals, Bruckner added in 1879 an accompaniment of strings (2 violas, 2 cellos and double bass) to enhance the humming voices, and of brass instruments (4 horns, 3 trombones and a tuba) to accompany the double choir.
