S. Bach ~ PROGRAM NOTES, TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS ~ Cantata for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity (1685-1750) 25’ I. Chorus II. Tenor Aria III. Soprano Recitative Bach composed Was mein Gott will, das g’scheh allzeit for the third Sunday IV. Bass Aria after Epiphany on January 21st, 1725. Movements one and six directly quote V. Tenor Recitative the text and melody of the the fi rst and fourth verses respectively of the hymn of the same name by Albert, Duke of Prussia published in 1555. While the VI. Soprano & Alto Duet last movement is the straightforward harmonization of the chorale, the fi rst VII. Chorale movement combines an instrumental ritornello with the chorale in the soprano voice in cantus fi rmus style; the soprano sustains the melody while the lower three voices embellish the chorale with lively counterpoint. The text of the middle movements come from an unknown librettist with the Soli: exception of one line from the bass aria, “Gott ist dein Trost und Zuversicht” Darby Schmidt, soprano (God is your comfort and solace), the opening line from the second verse of Madelin Morales, mezzo-soprano the hymn. The alto recitative comments on the futility of hiding from God’s omniscience while extolling those who trust in the protection of God. The alto/ Jacob Hunter, tenor tenor duet then assertively proclaims allegiance and faith to God even to the S Joshua Sheppard, baritone grave. The ensuing soprano recitative accompanied by oboes and basso continuo examines the hour of death and uses militaristic language depicting God as defending the soul from corruption and sin which leads directly to the fi nal Orchestra: chorale both musically and thematically. Lydia Becker, violin I - James Wolter Christophe Koenig, violin II Juliana Kilcoyne, viola Clara Hope Simpson, cello 1. Chorale Nina Robinson, flute Was mein Gott will, What my God wills Daniel Hirshbein, oboe I das g’scheh allzeit, always comes to pass, Gabriela Fry, oboe II Sein Will, der ist der beste, His will is the best, Alexander Kang, English horn Zu helfen den’n er ist bereit, He is ready to help those, Die an ihn glauben feste. who steadfastly believe in him. Alexander Little, organ Er hilft aus Not, He, the righteous God, der fromme Gott, helps those in distress, Eric Meincke, conductor Und züchtiget mit Maßen. And chastens with measure. Wer Gott vertraut, Who trusts in God fest auf ihn baut, builds firmly on him, Den will er nicht verlassen. He will not abandon them. 2. Bass Aria Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott (BWV 101) was composed in 1724 for the Entzetze dich, mein Herze, nicht, Fret not, my heart, 10th Trinity Sunday as part of Bach’s duties as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. The entire Gott ist dein Trost und Zuversicht God is your comfort and solace cantata revolves around the melody of the chorale, “Leit uns mit deiner rechten Hand,” Und deiner Seele Leben. And your soul’s life. which was written by noted German poet and mystic Martin Moller in 1584 during a Ja was sein wieser Rat bedacht, Surely what his sage council considered, plague epidemic. In the fi rst movement, each phase of the chorale is presented in strict Dem kann die Welt und Menschenmacht The world and humanity’s power counterpoint with fugue-like entrances in each of the voices representing the beginning Unmöglich widerstreben. cannot possibly resist. of each new chorale phrase. The soprano always enters last, singing the chorale melody verbatim as a cantus fi rmus while the other voices continue the same text in imitative 3. Alto Recitative polyphony. In the subsequent recitative, the soprano also sings the chorale melody, O Törichter! O foolish one but this time in a triple meter and lightly embellished. The phrases of the chorale are der sich von Gott entzieht who hides themself from God interrupted several times by sections of secco recitative. The tenor plays a similar role in Und wie ein Jonas dort And like Jonas the movement fi ve recitative, but with a more literal recollection of the original chorale Vor Gottes Angesichtes fl ieht; Flees from the face of God melodies. In the fourth movement, throughout contrasting passages of technical and Auch unser Denken ist ihm offenbar, For even our thoughts are obvious to him lyrical playing and singing by the oboe section and bass soloist, the fi rst phrase of the Und unsers Hauptes Haar And the hairs on our head chorale is presented as a transposed melody twice by the bass in the immediate two Hat er gezählet. He has counted. Andante sections, and is reprised in its entirety by the oboe section during the pleading Wohl dem, der diesen Schutz erwählet Blessed are they who choose this protection slow section before the fi nal Vivace. Finally, in a refl ective soprano and alto duet in Im gläubigen Vertrauen, In faithful trust, movement six, the chorale melody is played fi rst by the English horn, while the fl ute Auf dessen Schluß und Wort On whose end and word plays a more ornamented line in counterpoint. Those roles reverse before the soprano Mit Hoffnung und Geduld zu schauen. Behold with hope and patience. and alto play the same roles with their entrances. The chorale referenced numerous times throughout the work closes the cantata, refl ecting the message that is also consistent 4. Alto and Tenor Duet throughout the piece: asking God for mercy and forgiveness amidst a lifetime of sin. So geh ich mit geherzten Schritten, Thus I go with spirited steps - Eric Meincke Auch wenn mich Gott zum Grabe führt. Even if God leads me to the grave. 1. Chorale Gott hat die Tage aufgeschrieben, God has written out the days, Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott, Take away from us, Lord, faithful God, So wird, wenn seine Hand mich rührt, When his Hand touches me, so will Die schwere Straf und große Not, the heavy punishment and great suffering, Des Todes Bitterkeit vertrieben.

  • The Bach Experience
    MUSIC AT MARSH CHAPEL 10|11 Scott Allen Jarrett Music Director Sunday, December 12, 2010 – 9:45A.M. The Bach Experience BWV 62: ‘Nunn komm, der Heiden Heiland’ Marsh Chapel Choir and Collegium Scott Allen Jarrett, DMA, presenting General Information - Composed in Leipzig in 1724 for the first Sunday in Advent - Scored for two oboes, horn, continuo and strings; solos for soprano, alto, tenor and bass - Though celebratory as the musical start of the church year, the cantata balances the joyful anticipation of Christ’s coming with reflective gravity as depicted in Luther’s chorale - The text is based wholly on Luther’s 1524 chorale, ‘Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland.’ While the outer movements are taken directly from Luther, movements 2-5 are adaptations of the verses two through seven by an unknown librettist. - Duration: about 22 minutes Some helpful German words to know . Heiden heathen (nations) Heiland savior bewundert marvel höchste highest Beherrscher ruler Keuschheit purity nicht beflekket unblemished laufen to run streite struggle Schwachen the weak See the morning’s bulletin for a complete translation of Cantata 62. Some helpful music terms to know . Continuo – generally used in Baroque music to indicate the group of instruments who play the bass line, and thereby, establish harmony; usually includes the keyboard instrument (organ or harpsichord), and a combination of cello and bass, and sometimes bassoon. Da capo – literally means ‘from the head’ in Italian; in musical application this means to return to the beginning of the music. As a form (i.e. ‘da capo’ aria), it refers to a style in which a middle section, usually in a different tonal area or key, is followed by an restatement of the opening section: ABA.

  • Introduction
    Copyright © Thomas Braatz, 20071 Introduction This paper proposes to trace the origin and rather quick demise of the Andreas Stübel Theory, a theory which purportedly attempted to designate a librettist who supplied Johann Sebastian Bach with texts and worked with him when the latter composed the greater portion of the 2nd ‘chorale-cantata’ cycle in Leipzig from 1724 to early 1725. It was Hans- Joachim Schulze who first proposed this theory in 1998 after which it encountered a mixed reception with Christoph Wolff lending it some support in his Bach biography2 and in his notes for the Koopman Bach-Cantata recording series3, but with Martin Geck4 viewing it rather less enthusiastically as a theory that resembled a ball thrown onto the roulette wheel and having the same chance of winning a jackpot. 1 This document may be freely copied and distributed providing that distribution is made in full and the author’s copyright notice is retained. 2 Christoph Wolff, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician (Norton, 2000), (first published as a paperback in 2001), p. 278. 3 Christoph Wolff, ‘The Leipzig church cantatas: the chorale cantata cycle (II:1724-1725)’ in The Complete Cantatas volumes 10 and 11 as recorded by Ton Koopman and published by Erato Disques (Paris, France, 2001). 4 Martin Geck, Bach: Leben und Werk, (Hamburg, 2000), p. 400. 1 Andreas Stübel Andreas Stübel (also known as Stiefel = ‘boot’) was born as the son of an innkeeper in Dresden on December 15, 1653. In Dresden he first attended the Latin School located there. Then, in 1668, he attended the Prince’s School (“Fürstenschule”) in Meißen.

  • Schulhoffs Flammen
    ERWIN SCHULHOFF Zur Wiederentdeckung seiner Oper „Flammen“ Kloster-Sex, Nekrophilie, alles eins Schulhoffs "Flammen". Entdeckung im "Don Juan"-Zyklus des Theaters an der Wien. Am Anfang war das Ich. Dann das Es. Und das Überich erst, lieber Himmel, da hat sich die Menschheit etwas eingebrockt, als sie alle Dämme brechen ließ und den Kaiser wie den Lieben Gott gute Männer sein ließen. Nichts klärt uns über die Befindlichkeit der Sigmund- Freud-Generation besser auf als die Kunst der Ära zwischen 1900 und 1933, ehe die Politik - wie zuvor schon in der sowjetischen Diktatur - auch in 9. August 2006 SINKOTHEK Deutschland die ästhetischen Koordinatensysteme diktierte. Beobachtet man in Zeiten, wie die unsre eine ist, die diversen sexuellen, religiösen und sonstigen Wirrnisse, von denen die damalige Menschheit offenbar fasziniert war, fühlt man sich, wie man im Kabarett so schön sang, "apres". Sex im Kloster, Nekrophilie, alles eins. Tabus kennen wir nicht mehr; jedenfalls nicht in dieser Hinsicht. Das Interesse an einem Werk wie "Flammen", gedichtet von Max Brod frei nach Karel Josef Benes, komponiert von dem 1942 von den Nationalsozialisten ermordeten Erwin Schulhoff, ist denn auch vorrangig musikhistorischer Natur. Es gab 9. August 2006 SINKOTHEK mehr zwischen Schönberg und Lehar als unsere Schulweisheit sich träumen lässt. Erwin Schulhoff war ein Meister im Sammeln unterschiedlichster Elemente aus den Musterkatalogen des Im- wie des Expressionismus. Er hatte auch ein Herz für die heraufdämmernde Neue Sachlichkeit, ohne deshalb Allvater Wagner zu verleugnen. Seine "Flammen", exzellent instrumentiert mit allem Klingklang von Harfe, Glocke und Celesta, das jeglichen alterierten Nonenakkord wie ein Feuerwerk schillern und glitzern lässt, tönen mehr nach Schreker als nach Hindemith - auch wenn das einleitende Flötensolo beinahe den keusch-distanzierten Ton der "Cardillac"- Musik atmet.

  • Schreker Franz
    SCHREKER FRAZ Compositore tedesco (Monaco di Baviera 23 III 1878 - Berlino 21 III 1934) 1 Schreker studiò composizione a Vienna insieme a Robert Fuchs e Hermann Graedener e violino con Sigismund Bachrich e Joseh Rosé. Fondatore (1908), e più tardi anche direttore (1911) del coro filarmonico di Vienna, nel 1912 fu nominato professore di composizione all'Accademia di musica. Dal 1920 fu direttore della Musikhochschule a Berlino, e negli anni compresi tra il 1922 e il 1933 diresse una classe di composizione all'Accademia prussiana delle arti di Berlino. Schreker fu amico di Schonberg e di Berg ed ebbe fra i suoi rilievi Alois Haba ed Ernest Krenek e fu uno dei compositori più celebri del suo tempo. Per numero di rappresentazioni delle sue opere superò addirittura Richard Strauss. Nel 1933 il regime nazista lo privò di tutte le cariche. Schreker è stato il compositore più popolare di un'opera fortemente influenzata dalla psicanalisi e basata sul patetismo di soggetti da cui traspaiono conflitti sessuali carichi di implicazioni simboliche. Al tempo stesso, è stato il maestro di un'espressività timbrica dell'orchestra che sfrutta a fondo le risorse di un cromatismo dal colore fortemente caratteristico e massimamente espressivo. 2 DER FERNE KLANG Tipo: (Il suono lontano) Opera in tre atti Soggetto: libretto proprio Prima: Francoforte, Stadtoper, 18 agosto 1912 Cast: Grete (S), Fritz (T), il dottor Vigelius (B), un comico (Bar), il conte (Bar), il cavaliere (T), Rudolf (B), una vecchia (Ms), il vecchio Graumann (B), sua moglie (Ms), l’oste (B), Mizi (S), Milly (Ms), Mary (S), una spagnola (A), il barone (B) Autore: Franz Schreker (1878-1934) Der ferne Klang è la seconda opera di Franz Schreker, ma la prima ad approdare sulle scene teatrali, dato che la precedente, Flammen (1902), era stata presentata soltanto in una ridotta esecuzione concertistica, con l’autore stesso al pianoforte.

    379 THE TREATMENT OF THE CHORALE WIE SCAN LEUCHTET DER IORGENSTERN IN ORGAN COMPOSITIONS FROM THE SEVEN TEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Paul Winston Renick, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .
