Orgelbuch Light Zum Gotteslob 2 : Einfache, dreistimmige Begleitsätze manualiter z.T. mit instrumentaler Oberstimme ad lib - ab GL 352

Distler: The Christmas Story

The Story of Christmas op. 10 was one of the most popular religious works of the young Hugo Distler, and with its moving tenderness it is one of the most attractive oratorios which can be performed by any and all a cappella ensembles during Advent or Christmastime. The complete story is told by a narrator, which Hugo Distler employed after the manner of an early baroque model of a passion, is performed by an a cappella choral ensemble. On the present recording, the Athesinus Ensemble Berlin, which also provided the soloists in the oratorio, performed with convincing expressivity, warmth, flawless intonation and an extreme vocal flexibility.

Hasse: Requiem - Miserere [Rademann]

The two Johann Adolf Hasse compositions recorded here are proof of the both high quality of his music and the broad range of styles which he had at his disposal. Once again Hans-Christoph Rademann offers an exemplary interpretation of music from the Court of Dresden, to which he has often dedicated his musical efforts. “Under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann the Dresdner Barockorchester and the superb Chamber Choir bring a homogeneous, lean performance which follows integrally the gesture of the text and provides many moving moments. Thus with its penetrating tone language this live recording brings to life two unjustly forgotten masterworks of the 18thcentury.”

Four Quartets op. 92

Brahms always had a fine feeling for lyrical quality. His cycle “Vier Quartette” (“Four Quartets”) op. 92 for voices and piano, setting four poems by Goethe, Daumer, Allmers, and Hebbel, demonstrates his musical skills in a particularly moving way. The cycle is about the romantic night atmosphere, about melancholy reflections on autumn, and secret noctural amorous adventures. The Urtext edition from Carus comprises a conductor’s score in large format and a choral score, both underlaid with singing text in German and English, and the piano accompaniment. The cycle can be performed by solo voices and piano, or by four-part mixed choir and piano.

Dunkel oder Licht. Ausgewählte Lieder

Under the title “Darkness or Light” Cornelius Hauptmann and Eric Schneider present selected lieder by Franz Schubert which move between the poles of transitoriness and becoming in life. In addition to well known lieder such as Der Tod und das Mädchen or Wanderers Nachtlied, less well known compositions have been recorded on the present CD.

Thematic-Systematic Catalog Of The Musical Works : Bach-Repertorium, Catalog Of The Works Of The Bach Family, Vol. 7

Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach (1759-1845), the grandson of Johann Sebastian Bach, was the last member of the musical dynasty to compose. He worked in London and Minden before moving to Berlin, where he worked as Kapellmeister to the Prussian Queen and music teacher to her and the royal children. His piano works, chamber music, orchestral works, oratorio, cantatas, arias, songs, and stage works are now described for the first time in a Catalogue of Works. With detailed music incipits, extensive descriptions of the sources, and information on editions and the history of the works, his output has been documented and information now made available to musicologists, musicians, and allthose interested in his music.

Befiehl du deine Wege. Messe und Motetten

As the son-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Chrisoph Altnickol, who married Bach’s daughter Elisabeth Juliana Friederica in 1749, was closely associated with the Bach family. A reference written by his father-in-law which has been preserved testifies to the “very special skill” which Altnickol possessed as a composer and organist. Only a small fraction of Altnickol’s compositions have survived: aside from a few instrumental works, these consist primarily of a small number of works of sacred music, most of which are presented on this CD, and most are world premiere recordings. They include the Kyrie-Gloria-Messe in D minor. In his works Altnickol appears, in varyingdegrees, to be influenced by his teacher, Johann Sebastian Bach. This is certainly most evident in his chorale motet, Befiehl du deine Wege. In this work Altnickol endows several verses with songlike, expressive tendencies characteristic of the gallant style. This provides a charming contrast to the high baroque, polyphonic style of the remaining verses. The Norddeutsche Figuralchor and Musica Alta Ripa, under the direction of Jörg Straube, is an extremely solid and homogenous-sounding ensemble which masterfully presents the varied facets of these works.

32 Praeludia zu geistlichen Liedern : für zwei Claviere und Pedal

After moving to his position at the Dresdner Kreuzkantorat, which meant the end of his career as an organist, Homilius compiled 32 of his Chorale preludes for organ and offered them for sale to be disseminated as handwritten copies. For the first time this collection is published here in its entirety and in the original sequence of the preludes. Homilius shows that on the one hand he was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, while on the other he followed his own stylistic paths. Thus, for example, he employs extensively the traditional form of the chorale trio, but treads new territory in the harmonic realm. With this volume those seeking a rewarding enrichment ofchorale-based organ music will find what they are looking for.

Geistliche Chormusik des 19. Jahrhunderts

This collection is to be recommended as an addition to the current choral repertoire; it contains 19th-century a cappella music both Catholic and Protestant, with German and Latin words. There are short choral pieces in the straightforward chordal style, which impress with their homophonic writing, enabling the words to be understood clearly. This edition, rich in its variety, is especially valuable for small choirs, as it makes no severe demands on the performers; it also contains music for the Liturgy of the Mass and for each season of the Church Year.

Bachs Schüler - Motetten

Seldom heard works from Bach’s pupils are waiting to be discovered! The unique compositional styles of motets by Gottfried August Homilius, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach or Johann Philipp Kirnberger show once again the originality of the generation of composers after Johann Sebastian Bach. In spite of individual references to their teacher in each of the works recorded here the independence which they exercised, their further compositional development and how they distanced themselves stylistically from the master are clearly evident. The compositions are characterized by their original voice leading, harmonic liberties and expressive melodic lines, as in Friedrich Doles’s motet “Werbin ich, Herr.” Peter Kopp and the Vocal Concert Dresden [formerly known as the “Körnersche Sing-Verein] realize the emotional potential and multi-layered aspects of these works most convincingly in a moving interpretation.

Abba Yitkadash Shemakh : Lord's Prayer in Aramaic

I have used heterophony (simultaneous variation of a single melodic line) in the choral writing, not just because it is a technique I find rewarding as a composer and as a listener, but also as a way of reflecting the ’shared inheritance’ of the prayer – I mean, the many translations in which it exists and is regularly used, and the many denominations and strands of Christianity (and beyond) for whom it is a central, or model, way of speaking to God. My hope is that this piece, which may possibly have some connection to the actual physical sound of Jesus’ own words, will provide a meditative and a moving experience, whether performed in a liturgical or concert setting, andwhether performed by, or for, Christians or for those of any or no religious faith.
