It is the second of three larger-scale occasional compositions, and the composer's first extended composition for large wind ensemble and choir. == History == Bruckner composed the cantata for the name-day of Friedrich Mayer, the prior of the St. Florian Abbey. The piece was performed on 17 July 1855 on the evening before Mayer's name day.〔C. van Zwol, p. 713〕 The Mayer Cantata, composed one year after the ''Missa solemnis'', was the penultimate large work composed by Bruckner during his stay in St. Florian. Five months later, three weeks before he moved to Linz, he composed the cantata ''ドイツ語:Festgesang'', WAB 15, "Farewell to St. Florian".〔C. van Zwol, p. 64〕〔 The manuscript is stored in the archive of the St. Florian Abbey.〔U. Harten, p. 66〕 An excerpt of the cantata was first published in band II/2, pp. 230–239 of the Göllerich/Auer biography.〔 The cantata is put in Band XXII/1 No. 4 of the ''ドイツ語:Gesamtausgabe''.〔(Gesamtausgabe – Kantaten und Chorwerke mit Orchester )〕 The cantata is in three movements: # ''Auf, Brüder! auf'': men's choir and vocal quartet, horns and trombones (bars 1 to 27) # ''Wohl ist's die Liebe'': the vocal quartet ''a cappella'' (bars 28 to 69) - ''Langsam, gemütlich'' # ''Heil unserm Vater'': mixed choir, wind instruments (bars 70 to 169) - ''Heiter''〔〔 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「Mayer Cantata, WAB 60」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
