The cantatas were performed on the liturgical feasts for which they were composed, in a year- long musical pilgrimage encompassing some of the most beautiful churches throughout Europe (including many where Bach himself performed) and culminating in three concerts in New York over the Christmas festivities at the end of the millennial year. These recordings were made during the course of the Pilgrimage.

  • The Church Fathers' Spiritual Interpretation of the Psalms
    4 The Church Fathers’ Spiritual Interpretation of the Psalms Hans Boersma he world of the church fathers may seem far removed from our Teveryday lives. In some respects, that is indeed the case. It would be foolish to try to appropriate their writings into our theological and cultural contexts without taking into account the many centuries that separate us from the Fathers. Despite the obvious developments and changes that have taken place since the patristic era, however, there is an underlying commonality that links faithful biblical interpretation today with the exegetical endeavors of the early church. Over the past number of years, there has been a growing recognition of the shortcomings of historical critical exegesis and, as a result, an increasing appreciation for the church fathers and their spiritual or theological interpretation of the Bible.1 In this essay, I will focus on three theological concerns that we, along with the Fathers, may continue to bring to bear on our reading of the book of Psalms. In particular, I am thinking of (1) the Psalms’ focus on the harmonious virtue of the person who sings them, (2) the Psalms’ christological focus, and (3) the need to appropriate the Psalms in a personal manner. I want to preface my analysis, however, by recognizing with grati- tude that, long before I started reading the church fathers, I encountered 1. For helpful introductions to theological or spiritual interpretation, see Billings, Word of God; O’Keefe and Reno, Sanctified Vision; and Treier, Introducing Theological Interpretation. 41 42 LIVING WATERS FROM ANCIENT SPRINGS each of these three elements in the teaching of Professor Cornelis Van Dam.

  • “Erschallet, Ihr Lieder, Erklinget Ihr Saiten!”
    “Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget ihr Saiten!” A study of Bach’s third Weimar cantata and the spirituality of his musical language Benjamin Gabbay Copyright © Benjamin Gabbay 2018 J.S. Bach’s third Weimar cantata is described by John Eliot Gardiner as being one that he “evidently … particularly valued.”1 Besides Bach’s repeated reworkings and reinstrumentations of the piece (for later performances in Leipzig) that would suggest this, the piece also clearly grew out of a fortuitous intersection in his liturgical career—working in Weimar, a hotbed for both secular and sacred composition with ample resources to realize his musical visions and the masterful librettist Salomo Franck at his disposal. From the ebullient occasion for which it was composed, to its rich instrumentation, to its relentless cascade of Bach-ian symbolism, “Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten!” (“Resound, you songs, ring out, you strings!”) represents a peak in the composer’s liturgical canon. Context and Instrumentation “Erschallet…” was written for the service of Whitsunday (“White Sunday”), a high- spirited celebration for the festival of Pentecost, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon early Christians in the time following Jesus’ resurrection. It is worth noting that, in the Lutheran tradition of Bach’s time, the festival would have carried the same celebratory circumstance as Christmas or Easter; Gardiner describes it as “the culmination of those ‘great fifty days’ which follow the resurrection, a watershed marking the completion of

  • J.E. Gardiner (SDG
    Cantatas for Quinquagesima King’s College Chapel, Cambridge This concert was significant in several ways. Firstly, it contained Bach’s two ‘test’ pieces for the cantorship at St Thomas’s in Leipzig, BWV 22 and BWV 23, designed to be performed within a single service either side of the sermon on 7 February 1723. Then Quinquagesima being the last Sunday before Lent, it was accordingly the final opportunity Leipzigers had of hearing music in church before the statutory tempus clausum that lasted until Vespers on Good Friday, and Bach seemed determined to leave them with music – four cantatas – that they wouldn’t easily forget. Thirdly, by coincidence, in 2000 Quinquagesima fell on 5 March, thirty-six years to the day since I first conducted Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 in King’s College Chapel as an undergraduate. The Monteverdi Choir was born that night. I was pleased to be returning to King’s for this anniversary, and to invite the four collegiate choirs from which I had recruited the original Monteverdians to join with us in the singing of the chorales at the start of the concert. Of these, the choirs of Clare and Trinity Colleges responded positively. King’s Chapel seemed to work its unique Gothic alchemy on the music, though, as ever, one needed to be on one’s guard against the insidious ‘tail’ of its long acoustic which can turn even the most robust music-making into mush. St Luke’s Gospel for Quinquagesima recounts two distinct episodes, of Jesus telling the disciples of his coming Passion and of sight restored to a blind man begging near Jericho.

  • Bach and the Rationalist Philosophy of Wolff, Leibniz and Spinoza,” 60-71
    Chapter 1 On the Musically Theological in Bach’s Cantatas From informal Internet discussion groups to specialized aca­ demic conferences and publications, an ongoing debate has raged on whether J. S. Bach ought to be considered a purely artistic or also a religious figure.^ A recently formed but now disbanded group of scholars, the Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft fiir theologische Bachforschung, made up mostly of German theologians, has made significant contributions toward understanding the religious con­ texts of Bach’s liturgical music.^ These writers have not entirely captured the attention or respect of the wider world of Bach 1. For the academic side, the most influential has been Friedrich Blume, “Umrisse eines neuen Bach-Bildes,” Musica 16 (1962): 169-176, translated as “Outlines of a New Picture of Bach,” Music and Letters 44 (1963): 214-227. The most impor­ tant responses include Alfred Durr, “Zum Wandel des Bach-Bildes: Zu Friedrich Blumes Mainzer Vortrag,” Musik und Kirche 32 (1962): 145-152; see also Friedrich Blume, “Antwort von Friedrich Blume,” Musik und Kirche 32 (1962): 153-156; Friedrich Smend, “Was bleibt? Zu Friedrich Blumes Bach-Bild,” DerKirchenmusiker 13 (1962): 178-188; and Gerhard Herz, “Toward a New Image of Bach,” Bach 1, no. 4 (1970): 9-27, and Bach 2, no. 1 (1971): 7-28 (reprinted in Essays on J. S. Bach [Ann Arbor: UMI Reseach Press, 1985], 149-184). 2. For a convenient list of the group’s main publications, see Daniel R.

  • Georg Friedrich Händel ~ Oratorio Highlights Eit Nunmehr 10 Jahren Dokumentieren Wir Die Konzerte Im Kloster Maulbronn
    GEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL ~ ORATORIO HIGHLIGHTS eit nunmehr 10 Jahren dokumentieren wir die Konzerte im Kloster Maulbronn. Neben vielen wundervollen Mitschnitten, Sdie wir mittlerweile veröffentlicht haben, sind die Aufführungen der Oratorien von Georg Friedrich Händel eine Kost- barkeit innerhalb der Edition. Die grössten Werke eines Komponisten als Aufführung, im gleichen Raum, mit der Hand- schrift eines Dirigenten und einer weitgehend identischen Besetzung von Chor, Solisten und Orchester produziert zu haben, dieser Rückblick lässt sich, angesichts der damit verbundenen Herausforderungen, für mich derzeit noch nicht in Worte fas- sen, zumal ein Ende der Reihe nicht absehbar ist.

Georg Friedrich Händel wusste das Publikum in seinen Bann zu ziehen, es erschauern zu lassen - damals wie heute. Selbst Haydn erging es nicht anders. Lassen Sie mich auf eine Anekdote eingehen: Der Niedergang Jerichos im II. Akt des Orato- riums „Joshua“ hat Händel zu einem seiner herrlichsten „Donnerchöre“ veranlasst. Bei einer großen Aufführung 1791 in der Westminster Abbey war Haydn sehr beeindruckt. Es heißt, die Musik war ihm zwar vertraut, er sei sich jedoch ihrer Wirk- kraft nur halb bewusst gewesen, ehe er sie zu hören bekam. Jedenfalls war Haydn überzeugt, dass nur ein Genie wie Händel jemals eine so überragende Komposition verfasst haben und in aller Zukunft verfassen könne ..
