Op. 25. “Salamis.” Words by Lingg. Male Chorus and Orchestra. One of
the large choral works; a grand historical tone-poem.

Op. 27. “Frithjof at his Father’s Grave.” Baritone. Female Chorus and
Orchestra.
Op. 28. Symphony in E flat.
Op. 29. “Rorate Coeli.” Chorus, Orchestra, and Organ. Probably this is
the loftiest of Bruch’s sacred works.

Soprano, Female Chorus and Orchestra.
Op. 32. “Normannen-zug.” Baritone, Chorus in unison and Orchestra.
Op. 34. “Römische Leichenfeier”: “Roman Funeral Sacrifice.” Mixed
Chorus and Orchestra. (Has been erroneously classified as a male
chorus.)

Op. 45. “The Song of the Bell.” (Schiller.) Chorus, four solo voices,
Orchestra and Organ. This is the most ambitious work of the

undertakes the setting of this masterpiece of a great poet, will
find his music overshadowed by the grandeur of the poetry.

Hebrew hymn (many believe this to be the oldest piece of Hebrew
music in existence) for Violoncello and Orchestra.

Op. 51. Third Symphony. E major. The most free in form, and the
brightest in character, of all of Bruch’s symphonies.
