Already during lifetime, Ludwig van Beethoven became so revered that other musicians arranged his music – mostly the popular instrumental works – for choir. The composer may even have known some of these versions. After his death, there came a veritable tsunami of arrangements, reaching its peak in the 1830s. The present work by the composer and Kapellmeister Gottlob Benedict Bierey (1772-1840) dates from this period. He arranged the slow movement of the "Piano Sonata No. 5 in C minor" (Op. 10, No. 1) for voices and orchestra, adding the text of the Agnus Dei from the Latin Ordinary. The piece is a wonderful companion piece to Bierey’s arrangement of the first movement of the "Moonlight Sonata", which he orchestrated and underlaid with the text of the Kyrie from the Latin Ordinary (Carus 28.009).
