| Instrumentation | Voices: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass + mixed chorus(es) (SSATB, TTBB) Orchestra |
At least one number includes three choirs: SSA, TTB, TBB. Another requires two SATB choirs. However, a choir large enough to be split into SSATTBBB would simply sing divisi.
A 2009 recording was issued in 2013.
Does anyone (Hill?) have a guess as to composition dates and orchestration? (Ries G.’s Frankfurt 1829 could refer to composition or premiere??)
