Siegmund von Hausegger, too, has written various choruses with orchestra accompaniment: ‘Voices of Evening,’ ‘Sunrise,’ ‘Reaper’s Song’ (mixed), ‘New Wine Song,’ ‘Grief the Smith’ and ‘Dead March’ (male), and a ‘Nature Symphony’ (1911). Hugo Kaun is the author of a ‘Norseman’s Farewell’--a larger choral work for baritone solo, male chorus and orchestra--as well as of choruses for mixed and female voices. And finally Hans Huber (a Swiss composer, it is true, but educated in Leipzig, a representative of Teutonic ideals, and influenced by Brahms) has created beautiful music in his ‘Songs of Spring and Love,’ opus 72, for mixed chorus, solo quartet, and four-hand piano accompaniment, and in his four-part settings from Goethe’s _Westöstlichem Divan_, opus 69. This study of contemporaneous choral composition in Germany might fittingly conclude with a reference to the Dutch composers who have been influenced, creatively, by the modern German spirit in choral composition. Prominent among them are: Samuel de Lange, with an oratorio in the grand style, ‘Moses’ (1889), original in idea but traditional in form; ‘The Tear of a King,’ a ballad for soprano, mixed chorus and orchestra (1913), as well as various shorter cantatas to his credit; and G. H. G. von Brucken-Fock, composer of the introspective choral oratorio, _De Wederkomst van Christus of het naderende Godsryk_ (1900). It contains a notable _Dies iræ_, ending with a double chorus after the manner of those in Bach’s motets. The Belgian composers of choral music, whose artistic affiliations are in general French rather than German, will be considered elsewhere. FOOTNOTES: [84] _Musiciens d’Aujourd’hui_, Paris, 1908.
