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.

  • Liturgical Drama in Bach's St. Matthew Passion
    Uri Golomb Liturgical drama in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion Bach’s two surviving Passions are often cited as evidence that he was perfectly capable of producing operatic masterpieces, had he chosen to devote his creative powers to this genre. This view clashes with the notion that church music ought to be calm and measured; indeed, Bach’s contract as Cantor of St. Thomas’s School in Leipzig stipulated: In order to preserve the good order in the churches, [he would] so arrange the music that it shall not last too long, and shall be of such nature as not to make an operatic impression, but rather incite the listeners to devotion. (New Bach Reader, p. 105) One could argue, however, that Bach was never entirely faithful to this pledge, and that in the St. Matthew Passion he came close to violating it entirely. This article explores the fusion of the liturgical and the dramatic in the St. Matthew Passion, viewing the work as the combination of two dramas: the story of Christ’s final hours, and the Christian believer’s response to this story. This is not, of course, the only viable approach to this masterpiece. The St. Matthew Passion is a complex, heterogeneous work, rich in musical and expressive detail yet also displaying an impressive unity across its vast dimensions. This article does not pretend to explore all the work’s aspects; it only provides an overview of one of its distinctive features. 1. The St. Matthew Passion and the Passion genre The Passion is a musical setting of the story of Christ’s arrest, trial and crucifixion, intended as an elaboration of the Gospel reading in the Easter liturgy.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?

  • Gesungene Aufklärung
    Gesungene Aufklärung Untersuchungen zu nordwestdeutschen Gesangbuchreformen im späten 18. Jahrhundert Von der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg – Fachbereich IV Human- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften – zur Erlangung des Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigte Dissertation von Barbara Stroeve geboren am 4. Oktober 1971 in Walsrode Referent: Prof. Dr. Ernst Hinrichs Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Peter Schleuning Tag der Disputation: 15.12.2005 Vorwort Der Anstoß zu diesem Thema ging von meiner Arbeit zum Ersten Staatsexamen aus, in der ich mich mit dem Oldenburgischen Gesangbuch während der Epoche der Auf- klärung beschäftigt habe. Professor Dr. Ernst Hinrichs hat mich ermuntert, meinen Forschungsansatz in einer Dissertation zu vertiefen. Mit großer Aufmerksamkeit und Sachkenntnis sowie konstruktiv-kritischen Anregungen betreute Ernst Hinrichs meine Promotion. Ihm gilt mein besonderer Dank. Ich danke Prof. Dr. Peter Schleuning für die Bereitschaft, mein Vorhaben zu un- terstützen und deren musiktheoretische und musikhistorische Anteile mit großer Sorgfalt zu prüfen. Mein herzlicher Dank gilt Prof. Dr. Hermann Kurzke, der meine Arbeit geduldig und mit steter Bereitschaft zum Gespräch gefördert hat. Manche Hilfe erfuhr ich durch Dr. Peter Albrecht, in Form von wertvollen Hinweisen und kritischen Denkanstößen. Während der Beschäftigung mit den Gesangbüchern der Aufklärung waren zahlreiche Gespräche mit den Stipendiaten des Graduiertenkollegs „Geistliches Lied und Kirchenlied interdisziplinär“ unschätzbar wichtig. Stellvertretend für einen inten- siven, inhaltlichen Austausch seien Dr. Andrea Neuhaus und Dr. Konstanze Grutschnig-Kieser genannt. Dem Evangelischen Studienwerk Villigst und der Deutschen Forschungsge- meinschaft danke ich für ihre finanzielle Unterstützung und Förderung während des Entstehungszeitraums dieser Arbeit. Ich widme diese Arbeit meinen Eltern, die dieses Vorhaben über Jahre bereit- willig unterstützt haben.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.

  • A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

  • Determining Strategies for Success in the Opera Industry: a Case Study from Gauteng
    i Determining strategies for success in the opera industry: a case study from Gauteng by Abraham Marthinus Spies A mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MMus (Performing Art) in the department of Department of Music at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Supervisor: Mrs Marianne Feenstra October 2015 ii I declare that the work I am submitting for assessment contains no section copied in whole or in part from any other source unless explicitly identified in quotation marks and with detailed, complete and accurate referencing. iii Abstract This study investigates strategies for success in the opera industry. It evaluates the current opera market and how it is affected by the negative economic climate that is being experienced. In order to achieve this aim, this study focuses on Salon Music, an entrepreneurial company that produces operas in Gauteng, South Africa. Through the study of both the artistic and financial management of the company, uncertainties faced by the directors were uncovered. The directors were then questioned on possible strategies that could be implemented to curb these uncertainties. In conclusion two aspects, namely funding and audience preference, were highlighted as the main elements in the market that create uncertainty. Strategies were then suggested to manage these uncertainties successfully. iv Key Words Arts funding Arts management Cultural and Creative Industry (CCI) Entrepreneurship Opera Performing Arts Entrepreneurship (PAE) Performing Arts v Acknowledgements I would first of all like to thank God for His guiding hand, allowing all the opportunities that have been given to me that have led up to the preparation and completion of this study.

    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXVII, Number 2 Summer 2012 FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK SUMMER 2012 I would like to thank all the members of the Society who have paid their membership dues for 2012, and especially those who paid to be members of the Georg-Friedrich-Händel Gesellschaft and/or friends of The Handel Institute before the beginning of June, as requested by the Secretary/Treasurer. For those of you who have not yet renewed your memberships, may I urge you to do so. Each year the end of spring brings with it the Handel Festivals in Halle and Göttingen, the latter now regularly scheduled around the moveable date of Pentecost, which is a three-day holiday in Germany. Elsewhere in this issue of the Newsletter you will find my necessarily selective Report from Halle. While there I heard excellent reports on the staging of Amadigi at Göttingen. Perhaps other members of the AHS would be willing to provide reports on the performances at Göttingen, and also those at Halle that I was unable to attend. If so, I am sure that the Newsletter Angelica Kauffmann, British, born in Switzerland, 1741-1807 Portrait of Sarah Editor would be happy to receive them.

  • Risen Savior Lutheran Church
    Risen Savior Lutheran 2018 Church Pastor Art in the Lord’s House Key Our last stained-glass windows and additional wood carvings perhaps will be coming soon… Events The Lutheran Reformation did not simply destroy what came before it. The Confessions make it clear that we retain and preserve what we can according to the Gospel, as in these examples, which our congregations and Synod are still bound: Oct. 7 ➔ “We keep traditional liturgical forms, such as the order of the lessons, prayers, Oktoberfest vestments, etc.” (Apology XXIV). ➔ “Those ancient customs should be kept which can be kept without sin or without great Oct. 13 disadvantage. This is what we teach….We gladly keep the old traditions set up in the Highway church because they are useful and promote tranquility …the children chant the Psalms in order to learn.” (Apology XV). Clean-up ➔ “The [Service] is retained among us and is celebrated with the greatest reverence. Almost all the customary ceremonies are also retained.” (Augsburg Confession XXIV) Oct. 15 In many cases this applied to the visual arts as well. While Great Britain and Switzerland Blood Drive bear the scars of Reformed iconoclasm, many churches in Lutheran Germany still display the beauty of medieval Christianity. Art is like worship. In a practical, utilitarian world it seems rather useless and perhaps Oct. 28 even foolish, even a waste of money. Art is just pretty stuff, the things we hang up in our Festival of the homes to decorate the plain wall. It has meaning only so long as we choose it to and it is Reformation something we discard when we are over it or when our interests or tastes change.

    Kirchenlieder im Bass-Schlüssel Passion und Ostern Inhalt Einführung 3 Lieder Passion EG-Nr. Titel 79 Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ, dass du für uns gestorben bist 4 80 O Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid 4 81 Herzliebster Jesu 4 85 O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden 5 Ostern 99 Christ ist erstanden 6 100 Wir wollen alle fröhlich sein 7 103 Gelobt sei Gott im höchsten Thron 7 105 Erstanden ist der heilig Christ 7 106 Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag 8 107 Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ 8 110 Die ganze Welt, Herr Jesu Christ 8 111 Frühmorgens, da die Sonn aufgeht 8 112 Auf, auf, mein Herz mit Freuden 9 115 Jesus lebt, mit ihm auch ich 9 2 Einführung Tiefe Instrumente sind wichtig für das Fundament der Musik, deswegen übernehmen sie eher sel- ten die Melodie. Dabei möchten auch Bassist*innen gerne einmal die Hauptstimme spielen. Besonders in den Zeiten, in denen das mehrstimmige Spielen eingeschränkt und das Gottesdienst- und Kurrendeblasen nur in Kleinstbesetzung möglich ist, kann die Melodie solistisch von einem tie- fen Instrument oder vom tiefen Register übernommen werden. Bassist*innen spielen in der Regel im Bass-Schlüssel. Deshalb hat Landesposaunenwart Frank Vo- gel bekannte Kirchenlieder zu Passion und Ostern aus dem Evangelischen Gesangbuch (EG) in den Bass-Schlüssel übertragen. Gerne stellen wir Ihnen dieses Heft zur Verfügung, das nicht nur von den tiefen Stimmen des Po- saunenchores, sondern von allen anderen Instrumenten der tiefen Lage genutzt werden. Für das gemeinsame Musizieren mit Sänger*innen und anderen Instrumentalist*innen verweisen wir auf die TÖNE 6 "Kirchenlieder zu Passion und Ostern".
