A CAPPELLA

 

Johannes Brahms:

Warum ist das Licht gegeben

Ave Maria

 

Gottfried August Homilius:

Herr, wenn Trübsal da ist

Da es nun Abend ward

Die richtig für sich gewandelt haben I

 

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy:

Denn er hat seinen Engeln befohlen

From depth of grief I call to Thee

Beati mortui

Have you seen him hov'ring near

Why are the heathen so angry (Psalm 2)

Judge me, o God (Psalm 43)

Lift thine eyes to the mountains

 

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger:

Evening song

Mass in E flat major
