Program Notes
Arrangement of the choral with added euphonium part.
Abendlied (Evening song), Op. 69/3, is a sacred motet by Josef Rheinberger for a six-part mixed choir (SSATTB). It has been regarded as his best-known sacred composition.[1] He wrote the first version in 1855 at the age of 15.
The text is a verse from the biblical narration of the Road to Emmaus appearanceaccording to Luke 24:29 in Martin Luther's German version of the bible:
Bleib bei uns,
denn es will Abend werden,
und der Tag hat sich geneiget.
Abide with us:
for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent.
Rheinberger wrote a first version on 9 March 1855, one month before Easter and two weeks before his 16th birthday. At age 24, he revised the motet, for example eliminating repetition of notes and changing the marking.
