At various stages of his life Arnold Schoenberg took to writing music for chorus--a cappella and accompanied. Not all of these are masterpieces, and many are very difficult to perform. But there also is great music here--music that pushes the boundaries of tonality, 12-tone music, and pieces like the folksong arrangement Schein uns, du liebe Sonne, as beautiful as choral music gets. --David Vernier
