Summary of This Score
Via Crucis - Die 14 Stationen des Kreuzwegs is a major work by Franz Liszt, conceived as a musical journey through the fourteen stations. The score highlights the contemplative dimension of the Way of the Cross, with writing that emphasizes clarity of expression, emotional intensity, and dramatic progression from one station to the next.
The forces combine SATB soli, SATB mixed choir, and organ, allowing for a wide variety of colors: more intimate solo interventions, broader choral responses or tableaux, and an organ that alternates between harmonic support and driving tension. This configuration makes it a particularly relevant score for vocal ensembles seeking a structured, profound, and artistically demanding sacred music repertoire.
Suitable for the major liturgical seasons (notably around Holy Week) as well as thematic concerts, this SATB choir with organ score offers a rich working ground: balance of sections, phrasing breath, attack precision, and atmosphere construction. The edition prepared by Thomas Kohlhase facilitates the appropriation of the work and supports effective choral work, from first reading to performance.
