The great Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) embraced, developed and sometimes transformed all the musical categories of his time. In choral music, we think immediately of the epic Missa Solemnis and the Choral Symphony – but after that? He did write a number of smaller scale choral works and we explore some of these in this concert.
