About The Fiery Cross

The Fiery Cross, Op. 52 is a cantata for soprano, baritone, bass, mixed chorus, and orchestra composed by Max Bruch. It was first performed on 26 February 1889 in Breslau. It is based on a motif from Sir Walter Scott's Lady of the Lake with words by Heinrich Bulthaupt. The action concerns the main character, Norman (baritone), who is summoned to join a rebel army as he comes out of church at his own wedding. The other soloists are Mary, just bride, and Angus (bass), who hurries in bearing the fiery cross that is the signal that the rebels are mustering. Ferdinand Pfohl said of the work: "The Fiery Cross does not represent any kind of artistic progress: the public too seemed to feel this when it was meagre in its applause, so that the composer, who was conducting, felt the need to darken his brow."
