Шаблон:Infobox musical composition Die Weihe der Nacht (The Consecration of the Night),Шаблон:Sfn Op. 119, is a choral composition for alto, men's choir and orchestra by Max Reger, setting a poem by Friedrich Hebbel. He composed it in Leipzig in 1911 and dedicated it to Gertrud Fischer-Maretzki, the soloist in the first performance. It was published by Ed. Bote & G. Bock in Berlin the same year.

History

Reger composed the work in Leipzig in 1911,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn where he worked as a professor at the conservatory.Шаблон:Sfn During this period he also composed Eine Lustspielouvertüre, Op. 120, the String Quartet in F-sharp minor, Op. 121, and the Violin Sonata, Op. 122, among others.Шаблон:Sfn It was published the same year by Ed. Bote & G. Bock in Berlin, the vocal score in July, the parts in September.Шаблон:Sfn The work was first performed in Berlin on 12 October 1911 by Gertrud Fischer-Maretzki, members of the Шаблон:Ill and the Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester, conducted by Leonid Kreutzer.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Gertrud Fischer-Maretzki (1886–1929) was among the contraltos who inspired Reger, along with Anna Erler-Schnaudt. He met her first in 1905, and wrote about her in 1910: "Die Dame hat [...] stets durch ihre prachtvolle Stimme u. tiefdurchdachten, echt musikalischen Vortrag die vollste Anerkennung bei Publikum u. Kritik gefunden." (The lady always found complete recognition of audience and critics by her magnificent voice and her deeply reasoned and genuinely musical performance.)Шаблон:Sfn

Reger set another poem by Hebbel, "Requiem", which he had considered in 1910 already, in 1912 for men's choir a cappella, in 1915 for soloist, mixed choir and orchestra, the Hebbel Requiem.Шаблон:Sfn The poem "Die Weihe der Nacht" was also set by composers such as Harald Genzmer, Walter Rein and Hilding Rosenberg.Шаблон:Sfn

Music

Reger scored the composition for an (alto soloist, a men's choir (TTBB), and an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, trombone, three timpani and strings,Шаблон:Sfn a scoring similar to that chosen by Brahms for his Alto Rhapsody.Шаблон:Sfn The poem begins with the lines "Nächtliche Stille! Heilige Fülle" (Nocturnal silence! Holy fulness).Шаблон:Sfn The composition is initially marked Adagio and opens with a slow orchestral passage. Reger uses in his setting chromaticism, ambiguous harmonies, and word painting. The rendering of daybreak has been compared to that in the Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss.Шаблон:Sfn Die Weihe der Nacht thus foreshadows Reger's program music such as Vier Tondichtungen nach A. Böcklin, Op. 128.Шаблон:Sfn

The work was recorded in 1995 by the Bamberger Symphoniker and their choir, conducted by Horst Stein and with Lioba Braun as the soloist and Fritz Walter-Lingquist as the organist, along with Reger's Der 100. Psalm and Weihegesang.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
