  • Bach's St. Matthew Passion
    “It was an actor and a Jew who restored this great Christian work to the people.” - Felix Mendelssohn Bach’s Great Passion: A Reintroduction In 1829, a young Jewish musician (already on the path to create his own compositional legacy) reintroduced Berlin to Johann Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, the Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi secundum Evangelistam Matthæum, also known as the Matthäus-Passion, The Passion According to St. Matthew, or simply, The St. Matthew Passion. Ten years earlier, that musician - Felix Mendelssohn - began taking composition lessons from the director of the Berlin Singakademie, Carl Friedrich Zelter. Through this relationship, Mendelssohn would learn to love the music of Bach. Zelter himself had conducted quiet performances of a handful of the German master’s choral works at the Singakademie: a motet here, some cantata movements there. Even some of the choruses from the Passion were read at his rooms at the Singakademie. He was, however, of the opinion that these larger works were not suitable for public performance in their entirety. Still, running against the predominant tastes of the day, that Bach’s music was, according to one early 20th-century scholar, as “dry as a lesson in arithmetic,” the self-taught Zelter (he was a mason by trade), infused his love of Bach in his favorite student. In 1820, Mendelssohn joined the Singakademie as a choral singer and accompanist. His father, Abraham, had given a collection of Bach scores to its library and had been an earlier supporter of the Berlin musical institution. Earlier, Felix’s grand-aunt, Sarah Levy (who studied with J.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXV, Number 2 Summer 2010 REPORT FROM HALLE 2010 The Handel Festival in Halle opened this year on June 3 with the Traditional Ceremony at the Handel Memorial in the Market Square, followed by the Official Opening Ceremony and the Opening Concert. The latter two events were separated from each other for the first time, allowing for a more extensive concert. The guests invited to the Opening Ceremony witnessed the Handel Prize of the City of Halle being awarded to Cecilia Bartoli, who had performed a hugely popular concert in the city last October and who would present another on the final night of this year’s festival. The theme for this year’s festival was “Knights and Heroes” and the musical focus was on operas derived from Ludovico Ariosto’s 16th-century epic poem Orlando furioso. As usual there were more concerts and other events than one person could attend. The Opening Concert featured the Händelfestspielorchester Halle conducted by Karl-Heinz Steffens, since 2008 the General Music Anthony Hicks (1943 - 2010) Director of the Staatskapelle Halle, in music by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Adolph Hasse, Giovanni Batista Mele and ANTHONY HICKS REMEMBERED Nicola Porpora, as well as by Handel.

  • What Did Women Sing? a Chronology Concerning Female Choristers Laura Stanfield Prichard Northeastern University, Massachusetts, USA
    What Did Women Sing? A Chronology concerning Female Choristers Laura Stanfield Prichard Northeastern University, Massachusetts, USA Women have been professional soloists throughout the history of church and dramatic music, but have not always participated in choral singing. This paper explores the roots of women as equal partners in mixed choral music, and brings to light several historical moments when women “broke through” older prejudices and laid the groundwork for the modern mixed chorus. The Early Church In ancient Egypt, music was under the patronage of male gods. Osiris was said to have traveled to Ethiopia, where he heard a troupe of traveling satyrs who performed with nine musical maidens, perhaps the prototype of the Grecian muses. Since ancient Greek poetry and music were inseparable, there are many examples of female performers ranging from the mythological (the Muses and the Sirens) to slave girls and the lyric poet Sappho (c630-570 BCE). Antiphonal religious singing came from Jewish temple practice and was introduced to Christian gnostic worship by Bardesanes (154-222 CE) in Persia, who composed psalms and hymns for the Edessa congregation (in imitation of David’s Psalter). The early Catholic Church found it necessary to confront and reinterpret this movement, which spread from Persia into Antioch and thence through the Orient. The Synod of Antioch in 379 specified that men and women could not combine together on the same melody, so most congregations were divided into two demi- choruses, one of men, the other of women and children, each delivering a verse of the psalm then uniting for refrains only rarely.
