The Historical Performance movement began as a revolution: a reimagining of musical conventions, a rediscovery of instruments, techniques, and artworks that inspire and teach us, and a celebration of diversity in repertoire. It is also a conversation with the past, a past whose legacy of racism and colonialism has silenced and excluded too many voices from being heard. We do not seek simply to recreate what might have been but to imagine what should be. We embrace Juilliard's values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through voices heard anew and historical works presented with empathetic perspectives, and we reject discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. We recognize that we study and work on the traditional homeland of those who preceded us (see Juilliard's land acknowledgement statement, below).

We also want to show that there are different, equally valid ways to approach the music through different lenses.” — Alan Gilbert __________________________________________ In the spring of 2013 the New York Philharmonic will present The Bach Variations: A Philharmonic Festival, exploring the work of Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach through the lens of a variety of conductors’ and artists’ interpretations. Four orchestral programs, spanning March 6–April 6, 2013, will be led by different conductors, each bringing a different perspective to the composer’s work. Also in 2012–13, 92nd Street Y presents Bach Through the Season, which includes performances by some of the artists featured at the Philharmonic as well as a symposium with Mr. Gilbert. Together, the two institutions will offer a multidimensional portrait of Bach, featuring events that will explore varying interpretations of some of the composer’s greatest works.

  • Fontana D'israel
    BERNVOCAL Leitung: Fritz Krämer bernvocal.ch Fontana d’Israel Das „Israelsbrünnlein“ von Johann Hermann Schein PROGRAMM Fr 20.05.201 6 20.00 Bern, Französische Kirche Sa 21 .05.201 6 20.00 Luzern, Hofkirche St. Leodegar So 22.05.201 6 1 7.00 Basel, Peterskirche Grusswort Liebes Publikum! Alles neu macht der Mai? Ja, fast könnte man es sagen. Die Vögel zwitschern es von den Dächern und stimmen Jubellieder an – endlich ist der Frühling eingekehrt. Bei BERNVOCAL gibt es bereits seit Anfang Januar einige Änderungen. Zum einen konnte Milena Geiser als neue Geschäftsführerin von BERNVOCAL gewonnen werden. Milena Geiser ist in Bern wohnhaft und ist durch ihr Engagement als Präsidentin des Chores der Universität Bern (201 2–201 5), als Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeitsverantwortliche von einer bilinguen Konzerttournee (201 4) sowie als Koordinatorin einer CD-Produktion einer wenig bekannten Komponistin (201 5) im kulturellen Leben Berns bestens vernetzt und hat motiviert die neue Stelle angetreten. Fritz Krämer und Milena Geiser haben den Verein BERNVOCAL im Februar gegründet. Dies auch als weiterer Schritt, BERNVOCAL als ein professionelles Vokalensemble zu etablieren. Mit dem aktuellen Projekt steht ein weiterer grosser Komponist des Frühbarock im Fokus: Johann Hermann Schein (1 586–1 630), der bedeutendste Vorgänger Johann Sebastian Bachs im Amt des Thomaskantors zu Leipzig. Sein Motettenzyklus Fontana d’Israel ist in vielerlei Hinsicht der Geistlichen Chormusik seines Freundes Heinrich Schütz vergleichbar, geht aber in der Expressivität und Radikalität, mit der er den italienischen Vorbildern Monteverdi’schen Stils nacheifert, noch darüber hinaus. Im Israelis Brünnlein besingt er das Land, das heute Schauplatz von Krieg und Terror ist, aber vor allem verleiht er den Geschichten und Gebeten, die von den zeitlosen Nöten und Freuden des Menschen handeln, einen genialen, zutiefst bewegenden musikalischen Ausdruck.

  • Bach 2020 5 Early Cantatas II Oct14
    J.S. BACH fall 2020 5 early cantatas II Ray Squitieri THE VOCAL MUSIC OF J.S. BACH1 CLASS 5 Oct 19 EARLY CANTATAS II; INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSITIONS AT CÖTHEN Outline 1. Bach served as court musician and composer at Weimar 1708-17. Exposed to Vivaldi’s concertos, he transcribed and adapted them in order to learn the Italian concerto style. Wrote cantatas for the court, including several of his best. 2. He enjoyed favorable circumstances at Cöthen 1717-23—no onerous non-musical duties. With no elaborate church music required, a flood of instrumental compositions now poured from Bach’s pen, including Book I of The Well-tempered Clavier, the solo sonatas and partitas for violin, the solo suites for cello, suites for orchestra, and the Brandenburg Concertos. 1. Bach’s wife Maria Barbara died suddenly in 1720, leaving him with 4 children to raise. Eighteen months later he married Anna Magdalena Wilcke, a fine soprano who was to bear him 13 more children. Cantata BWV 4, “Christ lag in Todes Banden” (Christ lay in death’s bonds) ne of Bach’s earliest cantatas, this masterful work depicts the mighty struggle between life and death. It takes both text and its hymn tune from a chorale by Martin Luther, written nearly 200 Oyears earlier. Each of the cantata’s seven movements uses as its text one stanza from the chorale, with the chorale theme appearing in different forms throughout. Conductor and Bach scholar John Eliot Gardiner describes the work as Bach’s “first-known attempt at painting narrative in music.” The mournful opening SInfonia introduces the the chorale tune, in preparation for the stirring opening chorus (movement 2) .

Dear Customer, The annual Gramophone Classical Music Awards will be handed out this month: the ten main category winners have already been announced (see opposite page), with the ultimate ‘Recording of the Year’ being revealed at the ceremony in London on 13 September. We have managed to secure special prices on all of the winning discs for you, making it a great opportunity to hear any of the recordings that you may have missed when first released. As you will be aware, the autumn is the time when record labels traditionally release what they consider to be their best recordings, largely down to a mixture of people spending more time indoors over the winter months and an expectation that we spend more money in the run up to Christmas! September usually sees the first seeds of this and 2018 has proved to be no exception, as you will discover from how much we have had to squeeze in this month. Highlights include: Orchestral Songs by Elgar on Somm (our Disc of the Month below); Janacek from the late Jiri Belohlavek on Decca; two discs of British music on Chandos, focusing on works by Gerald Finzi and Ruth Gipps; a
