Dum medium silentium (1/5) unaccompanied mixed choir (SATB) choral score language: Latin UE 37125 £ 2.50 | $ 3.50

The motet “Dum medium silentium“ concerns the waiting for the Christ Child during the Advent season.

Angelus ad pastores ait (2/5) unaccompanied mixed choir (SATB) choral score language: Latin UE 37126 £ 2.50 | $ 3.50 This Latin Christmas motet is about the Annunciation of the angels to the shepherds.

Five Christmas Motets

These new choral pieces for the Christmas period are equally suitable for concerts as well as the liturgy. Max Beckschäfer has consciously used less known lyrics from the liturgy of Christmas. He wanted the pieces to be short and diverse. They can be performed alone or within a cycle (with the whole cycle lasting about 10 minutes).

Judas mercator pessimusNr. 2 aus Fünf Passionsmotettenfür gemischten Chor a cappella

Five Passion Motets

These five motets for five-part mixed choir describe several stations of the suffering of Jesus – starting with Holy Thursday until Holy Saturday. The Latin lyrics are taken from the Passion Week’s responsories. The music uses extended tonality and is reflective of the text and seasonal nature of the pieces. A demanding musical texture is created in the way the five vocal lines are used. The motets can be performed individually or as a cycle of works with a total duration of 12 minutes.

In monte Oliveti (1/5)

unaccompanied mixed choir (SSATB)choral score language: Latin UE 37168 £ 2.50 | $ 3.50

No. 1 of the Five Passion Motets “In Monte Oliveti” is about Christ praying to his father at the Mount of Olives while the disciples are asleep.

Judas mercator pessimus (2/5)

unaccompanied mixed choir (SSATB) choral score language: Latin UE 37169 £ 2.50 | $ 3.50

No. 2 deals with the betrayal of Judas (“Judas mercator pessimus”).

Sicut ovis (3/5)


No. 3 “Sicut ovis” draws a comparison between the suffering Christ and the lamb that is led to the slaughter in order to “give life to his people”.

Tenebrae factae sunt (4/5)


No. 4 of the Five Passion Motets dramatically depicts Jesus‘ death on the cross (“My God, why have you forsaken me?”).

Ecce quomodo moritur (5/5)


No. 5 “Ecce quomodo moritur” reflects the death of Christ on the cross (“The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart)”.

Missa brevis (A minor)


This short mass contains the movements “Kyrie-Gloria-Sanctus-Benedictus” and “Agnus Dei“ – the “Credo” is not set to music. The composition is suitable for liturgical use, as well as for concert performance. Due to the complex harmony this Missa brevis needs an experienced and efficient choir. It is recommended that the choir should not be too small.

Born 23rd February 1952 in Münster (Germany)

1965-1973 studied organ, piano, violin and choral conducting at the Richard Strauss Conservatorium (Munich)

1975-1982 studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich (state examination in church music, masterclasses in composition with Wilhelm Killmayer)

1976-1987 Organist and Choir Master in Munich

1987-1988 Villa Massimo scholarship (Rome)

1988-2001 Lecturer and later professor of music theory at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich

1999-2001 Teacher of music theory at the Nuremberg University of Music

Since 2001 Full-time lecturer in music theory at the Nuremberg University of Music
