Rheinberger’s popularity during his lifetime was based, for the most part, on his secular choral music. His cycles for men’s and women’s choir, most of which were commissioned works, are contained in two volumes of the Complete Edition [vols. 19 and 20]. Among this music there are humorous songs and drinking songs, idyllic settings of texts drawn from nature, and songs in a folk-like idiom which are light and easily performable, as well as several more ambitious compositions which were written for choral competitions in Rheinberger’s day.
