Albert Jenny / catalog of works

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a catalog of works by the Swiss composer Albert Jenny . The catalog is designed according to the musical genres. Within the individual departments, the chronological order applies according to the established date (listed in round brackets) or approximately determined (given in square brackets). In addition to the genres listed in the table of contents, the Latin liturgical works section has again been arranged chronologically in the following order: Ordinarium missae, Proprium missae or Te Deum, motets. The numerous differences to earlier registers were not specifically mentioned. The holdings in the catalog raisonné published here by Max Lütolf from 1985 as part of the ZBS (Central Library Solothurn) have since been transferred to the special collection of the Central and University Library in Lucerne , where Albert Jenny's estate is centrally stored.
