And although we ought, at all times, humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul.

  • The Supper at Emmaus Caravaggio Supper at Emmaus1 Isaiah 35
    Trinity College Cambridge 12 May 2013 Picturing Easter: The Supper at Emmaus Caravaggio Supper at Emmaus1 Isaiah 35: 1–10 Luke 24: 13–35 Francis Watson I “Abide with us, for it is towards evening and the day is far spent”. A chance meeting with a stranger on the road leads to an offer of overnight accommodation. An evening meal is prepared, and at the meal a moment of sudden illumination occurs. In Caravaggio’s painting, dating from 1601, the scene at the supper table is lit by the light of the setting sun, which presumably comes from a small window somewhere beyond the top left corner of the painting. But the light is also the light of revelation which identifies the risen Christ, in a moment of astonished recognition. So brilliant is this light that everyday objects on the tablecloth are accompanied by patches of dark shadow. Behind the risen Christ’s illuminated head, the innkeeper’s shadow forms a kind of negative halo. This dramatic contrast of light and darkness is matched by the violent gestures of the figures seated to left and right. One figure lunges forward, staring intently, gripping the arms of his chair. The other throws his arms out wide, fingers splayed. The gestures are different, but they both express the same thing: absolute bewilderment in the presence of the incomprehensible and impossible. As they recognize their table companion as the risen Christ, the two disciples pass from darkness into light. There are no shades of grey here; this is no ordinary evening light. On Easter evening the light of the setting sun becomes the light of revelation.

  • Concert Season 34
    Concert Season 34 REVISED CALENDAR 2020 2021 Note from the Maestro eAfter an abbreviated Season 33, VoxAmaDeus returns for its 34th year with a renewed dedication to bringing you a diverse array of extraordinary concerts. It is with real pleasure that we look forward, once again, to returning to the stage and regaling our audiences with the fabulous programs that have been prepared for our three VoxAmaDeus performing groups. (Note that all fall concerts will be of shortened duration in light of current guidelines.) In this year of necessary breaks from tradition, our season opener in mid- September will be an intimate Maestro & Guests concert, September Soirée, featuring delightful solo works for piano, violin and oboe, in the spacious and acoustically superb St. Katharine of Siena Church in Wayne. Vox Renaissance Consort will continue with its trio of traditional Renaissance Noël concerts (including return to St. Katharine of Siena Church) that bring you back in time to the glory of Old Europe, with lavish costumes and period instruments, and heavenly music of Italian, English and German masters. Ama Deus Ensemble will perform five fascinating concerts. First is the traditional December Handel Messiah on Baroque instruments, but for this year shortened to 80 minutes and consisting of highlights from all three parts. Then, for our Good Friday concert in April, a program of sublime music, Bach Easter Oratorio & Rossini Stabat Mater; in May, two glorious Beethoven works, the Fifth Symphony and the Missa solemnis; and, lastly, two programs in June: Bach & Vivaldi Festival, as well as our Season 34 Grand Finale Gershwin & More (transplanted from January to June, as a temporary break from tradition), an exhilarating concert featuring favorite works by Gershwin, with the amazing Peter Donohoe as piano soloist, and also including rousing movie themes by Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

  • Bach Easter Oratorio BWV 249 (Novello Edition Ed. N. Jenkins)
    PROGRAMME NOTES AND PREFACES Bach Easter Oratorio BWV 249 (Novello edition ed. N. Jenkins) HISTORY AND ORIGINS OF THE WORK Bach composed many pieces of celebratory musc during his time in Leipzig. Some were Birthday Odes for members of the ruling family. As these were only destined to receive one performance it is not surprising to find movements from them reappearing in the church cantatas which he had to provide each week for the St. Thomas choir. Thus a large work like the Christmas Oratorio is principally made up out of at least 3 celebratory birthday cantatas. i1 Bach knew a good thing when he saw it, and was determined to find a new home for some of the large-scale choral and orchestral movements into which he had put so much creative effort. In the case of the Easter Oratorio it is even likely that he planned a dual use for this music from the inception, since he makes use of all the movements in sequence in his reworking of it as church cantata. It started life as a secular birthday cantata for Christian, Duke of Sachs-Weißenfels with the opening text Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen [BWV 249a] and was performed on 23rd February 1725. As with all of these cantatas (including the Christmas Oratorio ones) it started and ended with loud celebratory movements employing the town’s trumpeters and drums, of which the last one called for a full chorus as well. These pieces were sometimes performed in the open air, where such an instrumentation was particularly effective.

  • Christmas Oratorio
    Reflections on Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio” by John Harbison Composer John Harbison, whose ties to Boston’s cultural and educational communities are longstanding, celebrates his 80th birthday on December 20, 2018. To mark this birthday, the BSO will perform his Symphony No. 2 on January 10, 11, and 12 at Symphony Hall, and the Boston Symphony Chamber Players perform music of Harbison and J.S. Bach on Sunday afternoon, January 13, at Jordan Hall. The author of a new book entitled “What Do We Make of Bach?–Portraits, Essays, Notes,” Mr. Harbison here offers thoughts on Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio.” Andris Nelsons’ 2018 performances of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio are the Boston Symphony’s first since 1950, when Charles Munch was the orchestra’s music director. Munch may have been the last BSO conductor for whom Bach’s music remained a natural and substantial part of any season. In the 1950s the influence of Historically Informed Practice (HIP) was beginning to be felt. Large orchestras and their conductors began to draw away from 18th-century repertoire, feeling themselves too large, too unschooled in stylistic issues. For Charles Munch, Bach was life-blood. I remember hearing his generous, spacious performance of Cantata 4, his monumental reading of the double-chorus, single-movement Cantata 50. Arriving at Tanglewood as a Fellow in 1958, opening night in the Theatre-Concert Hall, there was Munch’s own transcription for string orchestra of Bach’s complete Art of Fugue! This was a weird and glorious experience, a two-hour journey through Bach’s fugue cycle that seemed a stream of sublime, often very unusual harmony, seldom articulated as to line or sectional contrast.

  • Johann Sebastian Bach's Easter Oratorio BWV
    1 Introduction The fact that Bach’s Easter Oratorio BWV 249 has not found the same high level of acceptance and appreciation that his other major vocal works have, works like the B-minor Mass, his St. Matthew and St. John Passions and the Christmas Oratorio, may be due to a number of reasons which will be investigated through the presentation and interpretation of all the critical sources beginning with Bach’s performance materials, including 19th and 20th century commentaries and concluding with some recent analyses by Bach experts. By examining the chronological development of the musical materials, most of which (excepting the recitatives) were composed at earlier times for quite different circumstances and not specifically for performances on Easter Sunday, it will be possible to begin to understand why Bach’s Easter Oratorio has failed to live up to the high standards that audiences have come to expect from a Bach vocal-instrumental composition celebrating one of the major feast days in the liturgical year. The Libretto for the Easter Oratorio The librettist for the Easter Oratorio remains unknown since no printed version of the text has survived. Nevertheless circumstantial evidence seems to point strongly toward the local poet, Christian Friedrich Henrici [his pen-name was Picander] (1700-1764) who had just begun his collaboration with Bach in February, 1725.2 For that secular event on February 23, Picander supplied the text for the Pastoral Cantata “Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen” BWV 249a [see below for further details]. About five weeks later, Bach ‘recycled’ most of the music [not the recitatives which had to be newly composed] from that cantata for use during the Easter Sunday services in Leipzig on April 1, 1725.

  • Bach's Oratorios
    Uri Golomb Bach’s Oratorios “Set aside fear, banish lamentation, / strike up a song full of joy and mirth!” These words, which appear near the beginning of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, could well serve as a motto for the cycle of oratorios for Christmas (BWV 248), Easter Sunday (BWV 249), and Ascension Day (BWV 11) that Bach compiled in 1734/5. In expressive terms, these works stand at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Passions. Philipp Spitta (vol. II, p. 538) wrote of the St. Matthew Passion: “In a work planned to represent the most stupendous events, and engaged throughout with none but the saddest emotions, every possible contrast had to be made the utmost use of”. In the Oratorios, Bach faced a similar challenge from the opposite direction: injecting variety into a predominantly bright context, commenting on stories that did not generate the narrative and psychological drama that inspired the Passions’ profound expressiveness. The other challenge that Bach set for himself was to forge convincing sequences out of movements drawn from other works. This process of self-borrowing (usually referred to as “parody”), though common enough in the Baroque era, was viewed with suspicion by some of Bach’s admirers in the 19th and 20th centuries: stringing together movements drawn from other works seemed to them like a sign of creative weakness. Such reasoning, however, is based on the perception of the musical work as an indivisible and inviolable whole – a notion that Bach and his contemporaries would probably not have recognised, let alone accepted. The fact that the music for these liturgical works was drawn primarily from secular music was also quite within the spirit of the times: the union of secular and liturgical music was increasingly advocated in Bach’s lifetime by several prominent figures, such as Erdmann Neumeister and Johannes Mattheson.
