  • This piece is probably part of one of Spohr's oratoria or masses. Fun puzzle figuring out where it comes from...
  • Spohr wrote a choral fugue in C Major, WoO85. Its formal title is Lasst uns Dankgesang erheben, and the subtitle is Choral Fugue (though that might be Spohr's or someone else's). Tagged as a fugue for now, with undetermined instrumentation. Hopefully, someone will upload the WoO85 sooner or later so this can be checked.
Interesting. Worldcat has this info on the work you mention: copy @ U Basel. HMB confirms the publishing date given by Basel (Monatsbericht (1838), p.138 (with a fuller description @ Monatsbericht (1839), p.138), Berlin: T. Trautwein, "Auswahl vorzüglicher Musik-Werke in gebundener Schreibart von Meistern alter und neuer Zeit. 9te Lieferung.")
"Lasst uns Dankgesang erheben" is also the name of the concluding fugal number of Spohr's Das befreite Deutschland (WoO 64, 1813?), according to his own (his and his wife's-s omething, I forget; he didn't write all of it, I know) "Autobiography". I wonder?... - ES (note: only excerpts from WoO 64 seem to have been published in the 19th century- possibly including Lasst uns - but the whole work, published in 2008, could be consulted at a library reference for comparison, though not uploaded here.)
