Schneider: Christus Das Kind

As early as the 1820s, the Dessau court Kapellmeister Friedrich Schneider conceived the plan to compose a coherent series of four full-length oratorios dealing with the life of Jesus. Although he did not realize his original plan, three complete oratorios were nevertheless composed, forming a coherent trilogy. With the edition published in 2021, a foundation was laid for the revival of this forgotten trilogy. (ARS)
