Misc. Comments

Premiere date from RISM (premiere date given in the foreword is somewhat later.)

A first version WAB 89 for alto solo, 4-part men's chorus and piano dates from 1864; this is the second, a capella version dating from 1886.

(May be a sacred chorus; sense of whole is somewhat unclear to me... - Schissel)
