A wraithlike figure takes to the night in this nocturnal cantata of the dead in Neukomm's setting of the "Die nachtliche Heerschau" or "Napoleon's Mignight Review" as it was translated by the English poet and dramatist, William Ball. A ghostly Caesar restlessly patrols his legions as they rise from their graves to arm themselves. In this newly restored edition the original German verses by Baron Joseph Christian von Zedlitz are set alongside the music for the first time and represent a major publishing event with the parallel publication of the orchestral and piano versions of this seminal work.
