Pastorella for Christmas in G Major, IGW 8

Gregor Joseph Werner (1693-1766) was a composer in the Baroque style. An Austrian, he is best known for preceding Joseph Haydn, with whom he had a difficult relationship, as the Kapellmeister of the Hungarian Esterházy family. Most of his works are written in a strict contrapuntal style, although few were ever printed and most are lost. This edition of Werner’s Pastoral for Christmas (Pastorella zur Weihnacht) in G Major was completed by Ernst Fritz Schmid. Instrument: String Orchestra (2-2-2-1-1 in set): Organ in Sc.
