    CICLO BRUCKNER ENERO 1996 Fundación Juan March CICLO BRUCKNER ENERO 1996 ÍNDICE Pág. Presentación 3 Cronología básica 5 Programa general 7 Introducción general, por Angel-Fernando Mayo 11 Notas al programa: Primer concierto 17 Segundo concierto 21 Textos de las obras cantadas 25 Tercer concierto 31 Participantes 35 Antón Bruckner es hoy uno de los sinfonistas más prestigiosos del siglo XIX. Ya son páginas de historia de la música su ferviente admiración por Wagnery las diatribas que Hanslicky los partidarios de Brahms mantuvieron entonces respecto a su arte sinfónico, y un capítulo importante de la historia de la difusión musical lo ocupa la lenta recepción de su obra hasta el triunfo incuestionable de los últimos años. Pero Bruckner es también autor de un buen número de obras corales, con o sin acompañamiento de órgano, y de muy pocas pero significativas obras de cámara. También escribió para órgano -aunque siempre añoraremos más y más ambiciosas obras en quien fue organista profesional-, algo para piano y muy pocas canciones. En este ciclo, que no puede acercarse al mundo sinfónico, hemos acogido la mayor parte de su obra camerística centrándola en su importante Quinteto para cuerda, y una buena antología de su obra coral, desde la temprana Misa para el Jueves Santo de 1844 hasta ejemplos de su estilo final en 1885, en la época de su explosión sinfónica. Más de cuarenta años de actividad musical que ayudará al buen aficionado a completar la imagen de uno de los músicos más importantes del posromanticismo. Para no dejar aislado el Cuarteto de cuerda de 1862, hemos programado uno de los de su colega y contrincante Brahms.

    The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Final Logo Brand Extension Logo 06.27.12 BRUCKNER MASS IN E MINOR MOTETS Academy of St Martin in the Fields Sir Stephen Cleobury THE CHOIR OF KING’S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE For more than half a millennium, King’s College Chapel has been the home to one of the world’s most loved and renowned choirs. Since its foundation in 1441 by the 19-year-old King Henry VI, choral services in the Chapel, sung by this choir, have been a fundamental part of life in the College. Through the centuries, people from across Cambridge, the UK and, more recently, the world have listened to the Choir at these services. Today, even people who aren’t able to attend services in the Chapel have heard King’s Choir, thanks to its many recordings and broadcasts, and the tours that have taken it to leading international concert venues around the world. Despite its deep roots in musical history, the Choir has always been at the forefront of technological innovation, and records exclusively on its ‘impeccable’ own label. 2 BRUCKNER MASS IN E MINOR MOTETS The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Academy of St Martin in the Fields Henry Websdale & Dónal McCann Organ Scholars Sir Stephen Cleobury conductor 3 CD 57:06 ANTON BRUCKNER (1824–1896) 1 ECCE SACERDOS MAGNUS | WAB 13 (1885) 6:04 MASS NO. 2 IN E MINOR | WAB 27 (1882) 2 I Kyrie 5:43 3 II Gloria 6:50 4 III Credo 7:58 5 IV Sanctus 2:42 6 V Benedictus 4:48 7 VI Agnus Dei 3:55 8 TOTA PULCHRA ES | WAB 46 (1878) 4:48 9 VIRGA JESSE | WAB 52 (1885) 3:17 10 LOCUS ISTE | WAB 23 (1869) 2:38 11 AVE MARIA | WAB 6 (1861) 3:05 12 CHRISTUS FACTUS EST | WAB 11 (1884) 5:18 4 SHADES OF THE PAST IN played out against a revival of interest in early music.

Firstly, Bruckner’s status as a composer in Vienna in his lifetime was eclipsed by the near-worshipful adulation afforded to Johannes Brahms (1833–1897). Secondly, choral music as a genre was underappreciated. In a stark contrast to the golden age of Renaissance choral polyphony, the 19th century preferred symphonic music (genres such as the suite, overture, fantasy, solo concerto and of course the symphony itself), chamber music was thriving in music-making in bourgeois homes, salons of the nobility and concert halls, and opera and ballet were hugely popular.
