Aus: Israelsbrünnlein. Par SCHEIN JOHANN HERMANN. Johann Hermann Schein’s Israelsbrünnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written “in the Italian madrigal manner” 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the “inexhaustible fountain” of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament. / Mottet / Répertoire / Choeur SSATB

Kyrie in the original version was part of Fjellheim?s album called Biejjien vuelie - Solkvad. ?Biejjien vuelie? menas ?Yoik of the sun? in South Sámi language. 'Solkvad' (or 'Sólarjólb' in the original Norse language) is a poem included in the old Norse poem collection Den eldre Edda. The music on the album was inspired by both the Norse poems and the Sámi yoik tradition.The Sámi culture is mentioned on several places in the old Sagas and indicates that the society in the Nordic countries around year 1000 was indeed multi-cultural. The poems selected from the Norse literature had a certain sacred atmosphere; that is why they were combined with elements from theLatin Mass for the album.One fine example for this combination is Kyrie. The words ?Kyrie eleison? are used both in Latin and South Sámi language with the Sámi version having another rhythm and differently stressed syllables.

Based on a cantillation melody collected by the composer's father in the 1920s this short work suggests ancient origins.

Themelismas are restrained and discreet and the prevailing atmosphere of the music is quietly loving pure and exalted.
