There he single-handedly developed the professional choir. He achieved astonishing success, both with his flair for programming music and for building a choir from the ground up. He established an amateur choir as well, encouraging widespread musical expression in the broader community. Franz Biebl brought together his experience as a teacher, his creative sensibility, and his astonishing choral mastery to produce a unified expressive musical achievement. A glance at the works of Franz Biebl shows its richly varied nature, which responds to his artistic approach to form a unified whole.
Every composition is crafted with the same sense of honesty and careful attention to detail.
Biebl's approach to creativity demands that whether his compositions are based on folk song motifs or the composer's original material, the smallest turn of phrase for Biebl is an exquisite piece of artistry. This tremendous appeal captivates the listener as well as the performer, in this case, the singer. Biebl's music makes intimate claim and speaks directly to the heart without making pretentious demands on either performer or listener. Precisely this directness in Biebl's writing lies in his unity of simple but profound mastery of the material, delivering a spontaneous freshness carefully worked through in thought and detail. He manages to sketch human feeling with a silver pen, as the musical greats of the 17th century did, or as Friedrich Silcher does in the 20th century, capturing contemporary realities in a valuable frame.
