"Old Bach" was then considered old-fashioned, and was less regarded as a composer than his son Philip Emanuel. Few musicians would have been interested if the fact had been brought to their attention that Johann Sebastian Bach, a hundred years before, had composed Passions to the four gospels and led them at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig at the Good Friday services. Yet Carl Friedrich Zelter, the aging director of the Singakademie, had ac- quired the music of his Passion Accord- ing to St. Matthew and tried out parts of it with his chorus. His young pupil Felix Mendelssohn and Devrient with him were at once interested as the score was sampled, and on further investigation the fine choruses, the quiet and wonderfully expressive part of Jesus excited them. Devrient talked Mendels- sohn into approaching Zelter and get- ting his permission for a public perform- ance. Although Mendelssohn, knowing Zelter's cautious and unenterprising endowed with the dual ability ways, hesitated to anger his teacher, to look beautifully gracious at the two at last extracted from him a reluctant consent. home, or pack to a traveling The forces of the Singakademie were minimum . silk and rayon accordingly mustered for the double blend in gold or navy with chorus, an orchestra brought together. white dots . sizes 10 to 20. Mendelssohn, it was decided, would con- duct, Devrient would sing the part of Christ.

Devrient describes this moment in his Recollec- tions of Felix Mendelssohn: "We were speaking of the strange chance that, just a hundred years after the work could have been last heard, it should now again see the light. 'And to think,' said Felix triumphantly, standing still in the middle of the Opern Platz, 'that it should be an actor and a Jew who give back to the people the greatest of Christian works.' "Felix was quite carried away by his joyful mood; on other occasions he avoided all reference to his Jewish descent." They had no trouble in persuading the four best singers in the opera to join in their venture. "Their participation in the rehearsals, and the greater finish these now as- sumed, gave a fresh impetus to our work. Musicians and amateurs all thronged to the rehearsals, anxious to understand it better and better. All were amazed, not only at its architectonic grandeur ) of structure, but at its abundance of melody, its wealth of expression and of passion, at its quaint and affecting dec- lamation, and at its dramatic power. No one had ever suspected old Bach of all this. "But Felix's share in making the splendid properties of this work felt and is as as the undertak- Two part harmony . known memorable ing itself.

THE PASSION ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW By Johann Sebastian Bach Born in Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died in Leipzig, July 28, 1750 Bach's Passionsmusik nach dem Evangelisten Matthaus (composed 1728-1729) was first performed on Good Friday (April 15) 1729, at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. The text, incorporating passages from the 26th and 27th chapters of the Gospel according to St. Matthew, had been prepared by Picander (Christian Friedrich Henrici). Bach later revised and expanded the text and the music. The St. Matthew Passion, unnoticed when first performed, repeated subsequently at Leipzig as a matter of routine, was unknown elsewhere until Mendelssohn brought it to light a century later at the Singakademie in Berlin on Good Friday, 1829, thereby starting a general awakening to the greatness of Bach.* But the St.

  • The Senator from New England: John F
    Application for Faculty Research Grant Title of Book Project: “The Senator from New England: John F. Kennedy, 1952-1960” If awarded, this faculty research grant would be used to finance a two-week, full- time research project at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas during the summer of 2008. Any remaining grant funds would be used to partially finance the research of Joseph P. Kennedy’s papers at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. I am currently waiting for the Kennedy library to decide if it will grant me permission to research Joseph P. Kennedy’s papers. Both of the above primary research efforts are part of a long-term book project tentatively entitled, The Senator from New England: John F. Kennedy, 1952-1960. I have already completed archival research on this project at Dartmouth College, John F. Kennedy Library, Boston Public Library, Massachusetts Historical Society, Bates College, Margaret Chase Smith Center, University of Connecticut, and several Massachusetts newspapers. The tentative thesis of this book project is that John F. Kennedy partially prepared for his 1960 presidential campaign by uniting Democratic politicians and convention delegates throughout New England behind his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination by the end of the 1950s. In order to accomplish this partisan, regional objective, Kennedy intentionally developed and projected a reputation as a senator who would lead the promotion of New England’s economic and infrastructure interests on a cooperative, regional, bipartisan basis. In addition to previous research at the Kennedy library, I have examined the papers of New England senators and governors from the 1950s, including Prescott Bush and Thomas Dodd of Connecticut, Dennis Roberts and John Pastore of Rhode Island, Margaret Chase Smith 2 and Edmund Muskie of Maine, and Leverett Saltonstall and Foster Furcolo of Massachusetts.
