Summary:
"In his accomplishments as a conductor, composer, and musical administrator, Johann Herbeck had a significant effect on musical culture in the city of Vienna that was all the more remarkable because his professional career lasted only twenty-five years. During his relatively short lifetime (1831-77) he held positions of leadership in the most important Viennese musical organizations of the period and became famous for his conducting. His musical talents are also demonstrated in a sizable repertoire of his own compositions: starting with songs for voice and piano early in his career, he went on in his mature years to compose instrumental works and a large body of choral settings of secular German and sacred Latin texts. Herbeck's Mass in E Minor, a significant composition in the last category, is presented in this edition."--Provided by publisher.
