Even a brief analysis of the score reveals composition and development techniques that are reserved for pieces on an impressive scale. A more thorough analysis lets you appreciate the complexity of the compositional processes found in the very fabric of this major work.The historical significance of The Sacred Harp provides the opportunity for some cross-curricular work as well.

En 1524, Martin Luther publiait son premier recueil de cantiques, dont est extrait son magnifi que choral Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir (Du fond de l’abîme, je t’invoque, o Éternel)‚ d’après le Psaume 130 (De profundis). En 1724, Jean-Sébastien Bach composait une cantate, fondée sur le choral du même nom de Martin Luther. Pour réaliser cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Jacob de Haan s’est particulièrement inspiré de l’oeuvre de Bach. Aus tiefer Not est une précieuse contribution au répertoire sacré.

Het fraaie koraalthema Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir is terug te voeren op Martin Luther en is gebaseerd op de tekst van psalm 130. Bekend werd het koraal pas vooral door de gelijknamige koraalcantate. Johann Sebastian Bachschreef deze precies tweehonderd jaar later, in het jaar 1724. Bij dit arrangement was het voornamelijk Bach die Jacob de Haan inspireerde. Hij maakte hiermee een uitmuntende aanvulling op het repertoire voor geestelijke muzik.

Das prachtvolle Choralthema Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir geht auf Martin Luther zurück und basiert auf dem Text von Psalm 130. Bekannt wurde der Choral jedoch vor allem durch die gleichnamige Choralkantate, die Johann Sebastian Bach genau zwei Jahrhunderte später, im Jahre 1724, schrieb. Für sein Arrangement ließ sich Jacob de Haan vorwiegend von Bach inspirieren und schuf damit eine wundervolle Ergänzung für das Repertoire an geistlicher Musik.

Le magnifique thème du choral Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir (Du fond de l’abîme, je t’invoque, o Éternel) est attribué Martin Luther. Il s’agit d’une mise en musique du Psaume 130 (De profundis) dans sa version allemande. Cette hymne fait partie du corpus du premier des recueils de cantiques luthériens, le Geistliches Gesangbüchlein, publié Wittenberg, en 1524, par Johann Walter. Deux cents ans plus tard, Jean-Sébastien Bach composait une cantate, fondée sur le choral du même nom de Martin Luther. Pour réaliser cet arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Jacob de Haan s’est particulièrement inspiré de l’œuvre de Bach. Aus tiefer Not est uneprécieuse contribution au répertoire sacré.

Nel 1524, Martin Lutero pubblicò il primo raccolto di cantici, tra i quali il magnifi co corale Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir, dal Salmo 130 (De profundis). Nel 1724, Johann Sebastian Bach compose una cantata, ispirandosi al corale di Lutero. Nella realizzazione di questo arrangiamento per banda, Jacob de Haan si è affidato all’opera di Bach. Aus tiefer Not è un importante contributo al repertorio sacro.
