The Evangelische Kantorei is the choir of Moosburg's Lutheran Church - but we welcome everybody, no matter what his or her denomination may be.

Our repertoire ranges from medieval to contemporary music, both sacred and secular, and also in foreign languages (English, French, Italian, Hungarian etc.). Our main task is to sing in church, but we are also giving public concerts. So, in the recent past, we performed

• Renaissance madrigals
• songs from "The Threepenny Opera" and "Oklahoma!"
• William Byrd's "Mass for Four Voices"
• "St. John's Passion", the 103rd Psalm and "Es gingen zweene Menschen hinauf" by Heinrich Schütz
• the cantata "Wer sich selbst erhöhet" by Johann Sebastian Bach
• the "Sparrow Mass" and "Dixit et Magnificat" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
• "Via Crucis" by Franz Liszt
• "Stabat Mater" by Zoltán Kodály
• Wilhelm Keller's Bavarian oratorio "Oana geht um im Land" ("Somebody's haunting the country")
• as well as - for the first time in history - a requiem by the Munich composer Jean-Marie Bernard.

In 1999 our first compact disk was released: "Passionsmusik aus Furth und Moosburg". Samples:

• Schütz: "St. John's Passion"
• Kodály: "Stabat Mater"
• Keller: "Oana geht um im Land"

The second CD was recorded in December 2000 in the new Moosburg Lutheran Church. Samples:

• Byrd: "Mass in f-minor"
• Hassler: "Dixit Maria"
• Schütz: "Psalm 103"

The third CD was recorded in 2002. Samples:

• Graduale Romanum: "Locus iste"
• Bruckner: "Locus iste"
• Schütz: "Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt"
• Distler: "Wie der Hirsch schreit"
• Bach: "Wer sich selbst erhöhet (Arie)"
• Bach: "Wer sich selbst erhöhet (Choral)"

Orders: Niko Firnkees (Tel. 08761-63184).

Anyway, if you happen to enjoy singing, why don't you drop in and have a try? Except for the holidays, we meet

• every Thursday
• at 8 p.m.
• in the Lutheran Church, Schlesierstraße 10, Moosburg
• (and afterwards? Time for a drink! ;-)).

We are looking forward to seeing you soon:
