For many people, Hugo Wolf is known primarily as a composer of lieder. However, his vocal music oeuvre also includes a whole range of choral pieces, among them his Sechs geistlichen Lieder (Six Sacred Part Songs) based on texts by Joseph von Eichendorff. In Letzte Bitte (The Last Prayer) the poet articulates the prayer of a man grown tired of the burden of life for release and peace. In this setting of the text, with its dense harmonies, haunting melodic lines and dynamic and subtly differentiated structure, Hugo Wolf has created a – with all its Impression of fragility – highly emotional choral piece.
