Bertha Brukenthal: An Aristocrat among the Transylvanian Composers

Summary/Abstract: Member of the Transylvanian aristocracy, Bertha Brukenthal (1846, Vienna – 1908, Gainfarn im Baden) distinguished herself as a composer. The baroness dedicated most of her works to the members of the Viennese, Saxon and the Hungarian nobility, thus consolidating and promoting family and social connections. Her oeuvre consists of 25 compositions: lieds, chamber music and ecclesiastical works – the later ones strongly connected to the Cecilian Music movement. Completed probably in Transylvania in 1871, the clear and accessible style of the F major Missa Solemnis can be viewed as an eloquent example for the influence of the Roman Catholic church music reform in the eastern part of Europe.
