    Calmus-Washington-Post Review April 2013.Pdf

    to discover, nurture & promote young musicians Press: Calmus April 21, 2013 At Strathmore, Calmus Ensemble is stunning in its vocal variety, mastery By Robert Battey Last week, two of Germany’s best musical ensembles — one very large, one very small — visited our area. After the resplendence of the Dresden Staatskapelle on Tuesday at Strathmore, we were treated on Friday to an equally impressive display of precise, polished musicianship by the Calmus Ensemble, an a cappella vocal quintet from Leipzig. Founded in 1999 by students at the St. Thomas Church choir school (which used to be run by a fellow named Bach), Calmus presented a program both narrow and wide: all German works, but spanning more than four centuries of repertoire. The group held the audience at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Alexandria nearly spellbound with its artistry. The only possible quibble was that occasionally there was a very slight imbalance in the upper texture; Calmus has only one female member, the alto parts being taken by a countertenor who could not always match the clear projection of the soprano. But in matters of pitch, diction and musical shaping, I’ve never heard finer ensemble singing. From the lively “Italian Madrigals” of Heinrich Schütz, to a setting by Johann Hiller of “Alles Fleisch” (used by Brahms centuries later in “Ein Deutsches Requiem”), to the numinous coloratura of Bach’s “Lobet den Herrn,” to some especially lovely part-songs of Schumann, to a performance-art work written for the group by Bernd Franke in 2010, the quintet met the demands of every piece with cool perfection.

We are pleased to share with you this music brochure outlining our week-to-week selections of liturgical music for the 2019–2020 season. In addition to the highly diverse offerings in repertoire each Sunday, we are especially excited to present a concert performance of Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem with orchestra in March 2020. We hope you can join us regularly throughout the season for an enriching year of inspiring and evocative sacred music. OUR PHILOSOPHY ABOUT SACRED MUSIC: Music is an integral part of the worship experience, and is part of what binds together the many aspects of liturgy…the “mortar between the bricks,” so to speak. At times, the congregation is invited to sing hymns or refrains, adding their voices to countless others in a unified act of prayer and celebration. At other times, the choir or cantor may sing alone— offering prayers on behalf of the entire assembly—while the congregation reflects silently. In either instance—joining in song or prayerfully listening to others—the assembled congregation is actively participating in the litury.

    The History and Use of Invitatories, Responsories, Versicles, and Antiphons

    The History and Use of Invitatories, Responsories, Versicles, and Antiphons In The Lutheran Hymnal beginning at page 95 there are lists of suggested Invitatories, Antiphons, Versicles, and Responsories for use in various seasons throughout the Church’s year. Unfortunately, these are rarely used by the local parish. Part of the reason is that these are typically used in the daily Offices of Matins and Vespers. The Offices used to be a daily part of the worship of the local parish in Lutheran circles. Daily praying of Matins and Vespers was the norm, and rubrics governing their use are in most, if not all, of the Church Orders of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries. 1 That these Offices would be used in the local parish was assumed, especially in the city churches where there would be a school, and a larger population would be typical. Even in the case of the rural parish, the Offices were expected to be said daily, the only difference commonly listed was that instead of the parts being sung by a boys’ choir, that the parts would be read. The fact that these sets of Invitatories, Antiphons, Responsories, and Versicles have been retained in our modern hymnals, and the fact that the daily Offices of Matins and Vespers are also provided in our hymnals, assumes that these chants would be retained among us also. This paper will look at the history of these chants, and why and how we should use them. It will also explore how they fell into disuse and look at ways to restore them to usage among the parishes of our diocese.

    Historicism and German Nationalism in Max Reger's Requiems

    Historicism and German Nationalism in Max Reger’s Requiems Katherine FitzGibbon Background: Historicism and German During the nineteenth century, German Requiems composers began creating alternative German Requiems that used either German literary material, as in Schumann’s Requiem für ermans have long perceived their Mignon with texts by Goethe, or German literary and musical traditions as being theology, as in selections from Luther’s of central importance to their sense of translation of the Bible in Brahms’s Ein Gnational identity. Historians and music scholars in deutsches Requiem. The musical sources tended the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to be specifically German as well; composers sought to define specifically German attributes in made use of German folk materials, German music that elevated the status of German music, spiritual materials such as the Lutheran chorale, and of particular canonic composers. and historical forms and ideas like the fugue, the pedal point, antiphony, and other devices derived from Bach’s cantatas and Schütz’s funeral music. It was the Requiem that became an ideal vehicle for transmitting these German ideals. Although there had long been a tradition of As Daniel Beller-McKenna notes, Brahms’s Ein German Lutheran funeral music, it was only in deutsches Requiem was written at the same the nineteenth century that composers began time as Germany’s move toward unification creating alternatives to the Catholic Requiem under Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck.

Although there were several important he owned a bust of Bismarck and wrote the examples of Latin Requiems by composers like jingoistic Triumphlied—his Requiem became Mozart, none used the German language or the Lutheran theology that were of particular importance to the Prussians.
