Since Bruckner did not complete the 9th symphony, ''Helgoland'' is his last complete work. ==History== One year earlier, Bruckner had already composed another, shorter patriotic work, ''Der deutsche Gesang'' (WAB 63), that was premiered at the ''First German Academic Song Festival'' in Salzburg in June 1892. ''Helgoland'' was composed in April 1893 for the Men's Choir of Vienna〔Called the ''Vienna Male Singing Society'' (''Wiener Männergesangvereins'') in Volume XXII/2 No. 8 of the ''Bruckner Complete Edition''〕 to celebrate its 50th birthday.〔C. van Zwol, pp. 714-715〕〔U. Harten, p. 193〕 The text was written by August Silberstein, who had already provided poems, which Bruckner set to music (''Germanenzug'' in 1864, and ''Vaterlandslied'' in 1866). The setting was a case of interest, as the island of Heligoland had just been returned by Great Britain to Germany in 1890. ''Helgoland'' was conducted on 8 October 1893 by the Men's Choir of Vienna and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Eduard Kremser's baton in the ''Winterreitschule'' of the Hofburg Palace.〔〔 Bruckner legated the manuscript to the ''Österreichische Nationalbibliothek''. The work was first published as vocal and piano reduction score by Cyrill Hynais in 1893. The vocal and orchestral score was posthumously issued by Doblinger, Vienna in 1899.〔〔 It is put in Band XXII/2 No. 8 of the ''ドイツ語:Gesamtausgabe''.〔(Gesamtausgabe – Kantaten und Chorwerke mit Orchester )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helgoland (Bruckner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
