  • Magnificat in D Major, BWV
    Johann Sebastian Bach Magnificat in D Major, BWV 243 Magnificat Quia respexit Quia fecit mihi magna Et misericordia eius Fecit potentiam Deposuit potentes Suscepit Israel Gloria patri Sicut erat in principio *** Chorus: S-S-A-T-B Soloists: Soprano 1, soprano 2, alto, tenor, bass Orchestra: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 oboes d'amore, 3 trumpets, timpani, strings, continuo ************************* Program notes by Martin Pearlman Bach, Magnificat, BWV 243 In 1723, for his first Christmas as cantor of the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Bach presented a newly composed setting of the Magnificat. It was a grand, celebratory work with a five-voice chorus and a colorful variety of instruments, and Bach expanded the Magnificat text itself by interpolating settings of several traditional Christmas songs between movements. This was the original Eb-major version of his Magnificat, and it was Bach's largest such work up to that point. About a decade later, he reworked the piece, lowering the key from Eb to the more conventional trumpet key of D major, altering some of the orchestration, and, perhaps most importantly, removing the Christmas inserts, so that the work could be performed at a variety of festivals during the liturgical year. It is this later D major version of the Magnificat that is normally heard today. Despite its brilliance and grandeur, Bach's Magnificat is a relatively short work. Nonetheless, it is filled with countless fascinating details. The tenor opens his aria Deposuit with a violent descending F# minor scale to depict the text "He hath put down [the mighty]". At the end of the alto aria Esurientes, Bach illustrates the words "He hath sent the rich away empty" by having the solo flutes omit their final note.

  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

The St Matthew Passion was composed as to perform a single work from both organ lofts at the same time: Chorus and orchestra I would occupy the large organ loft, and Chorus and orchestra II performed from the small organ loft. Bach created particularly distinctive accompagnato recitatives in this work: they are accompanied not by continuo alone, but also by the entire string section of the first orchestra using long, sustained notes and "highlighting" certain words, thus creating an effect often referred to as Jesus's "halo".

  • A Meditative and Musical Guide to by John Rutter
    A Meditative and Musical Guide to Magnificat by John Rutter The Magnificat, the outpouring of spirit that Mary proclaimed when she visited her cousin Elizabeth and shared her news of the miraculous birth of the Messiah, is the quintessential liturgical text for the Advent Season. Mary’s words, patterned closely from those of Hannah as she gave thanks for the birth of her son Samuel (Samuel 2:1-10) and a close parallel to Psalm 113, are at once a joyous outburst of praise and thanksgiving, an expression of humility, a recognition of the glory of God and his mercy for humankind, a strong statement of God’s love for the humble and poor, and news of the fulfillment of God’s promise of a savior. John Rutter characterizes the text as “a canticle of praise, trust, and joy.” Movement 1 – Mary Sings Praises to God (Luke 1:46-48) Magnificat anima mea Dominum: My soul doth magnify the Lord: et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: For he hath regarded the lowliness of his hand-maiden: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me generationis. blessed. The first movement is divided into 2 large sections that express contrasting perspectives of Mary’s joy. Rutter looked to the strong musical heritages of Spain and Mexico to derive the rhythmic motors for this joy. The first section begins with an orchestral fanfare that sets the stage for the clearly joyful, festive text of the first part of Mary’s Song.
