Editor's Note


Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736-1809) was born in Klosterneuburg, just outside of Vienna. Early musical training as a choirboy in his hometown, as well as composition studies under G.M. Monn and musical training as a choirboy at Melk Abbey, led to his eventual appointment in 1793 as Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. Albrechtsberger composed well over 200 church compositions, keyboard works and pieces for instrumental ensembles. As a teacher of theory and composition, Albrechtsberger was able to claim as a student the young Beethoven.


The text of the Te Invocamus, which liturgically is found as the antiphon for the second Nocturne of Matins for the Feast of the Holy Trinity, is translated as follows: We call upon you, we praise you, we beseech you, our hope, our honor, deliver us, revitalize us, o blessed Trinity.

This edition is based upon a set of hand-copied parts located in the archive of the Stiftsbibliothek at Chorherrenstift Klosterneuburg in Austria: M.A.931/11.

Albrechtsberger's Te Invocamus is scored for 2 clarini (trumpets) in D, timpani in D-A, 2 violins, cello, bass and SATB choir.

The present edition adheres closely to the above mentioned source, notingeditorial markings in parentheses. Voice parts, where notated in moveable clefs, were rewritten in treble clef; phrase markings in the voice parts were added where two or more notes occurred for a single syllable of text; the piano reduction was prepared from the orchestral material; the timpani part in the orchestral score was notated up a whole step from the original source, so that the written part would reflect the actual concert pitches.

This editor is indebted to Dr. Heinz Ristory for supplying me with photocopiesof the source material, and to Dr. Floridus Rohrig, librarian at Stift Klosterneuburg,for granting permission to publish.
