ABSTRACT
Liszt’s compositions for vocal ensembles, most particularly his large-scale sacred choral works, have been subjected to increasingly intense scrutiny since the early 1960s. Studies of such masterpieces as Christus, Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth, the Missa choralis, and the Via crucis have, to a considerable extent, been completed by doctoral candidates in Germany and America; other studies have appeared in specialized journals, festival programs, and conference proceedings. These studies are described below.
