Der 1758 als Sohn eines Maurermeisters geborene Carl Friedrich Zelter ist heute vor allem als Goethes engster Briefpartner, Namensgeber der alljahrlich vom Bundesprasidenten verliehenen Zelter-Plakette und Komponist des Kinderliedes >>Der Kuckuck und der Esel<< bekannt. Aus Anlasss seines 250. Geburtstags spuren in einem reich bebilderten Band renommierte Musiker, Schriftsteller und Wissenschaftler den vielen weiteren Facetten des >>Singemeisters<< nach, der viel mehr war als nur der Freund des Dichterfursten aus Weimar. Autoren wie Gunter de Bruyn oder Wolfgang Schluter entdecken den Komponisten, den Sammler, den Padagogen und den engagierten Burger Zelter neu. So entsteht das Portrat einer aussergewohnlichen Personlichkeit, die das kulturelle Leben der preussischen Hauptstadt gepragt hat wie kaum eine andere. Als Grundervater der staatlichen Musikpflege in Preussen und langjahriger Direktor der Sing-Akademie zu Berlin hat Zelter entscheidend beigetragen zu einer >>Berliner Klassik<<, deren liberale Burgerkultur den Grundstein fur die erste moderne Zivilgesellschaft gelegt hat. Christian Filips (*1981) ist als freier Schriftsteller, Ubersetzer und Musikdramaturg in Berlin tatig. Seit 2006 ist er Programmleiter der Sing-Akademie zu Berlin. 2001 wurde er fur seine Gedichte mit dem Rimbaud-Preis des ORF ausgezeichnet. Zuletzt erschienen von ihm mehrere Aufsatze zur Geschichte des Berliner Musiklebens und der mit ihm verbundenen Kunstreligion um 1800. In Kooperation mit der Sing-Akademie Berlin und der Villa Grisebach.

With Carl Friedrich Zelter's motet Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Hermann Max, editor of the Choral Treasury series, has uncovered a real treasure. The three-verse text of the motet for mixed choir (SATB) and basso continuo was written by Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock who kept close to the Advent song of the same name by Philipp Nicolai. During Zelter's lifetime, the motet enjoyed great popularity. And quite rightly so: For the music teacher and friend of Goethe turned out to be a composer with an extraordinary sense of tone. An introductory choral movement is followed by a captivating bass aria which can be optionally sung by all basses of the choir. The piece culminates in an elaborate virtuoso fugue with an interwoven cantus firmus in the bass. A demanding, yet highly rewarding rarity in church music!

'Die Sache war fur den Moment so gelungen, dass ich die Musik selber loben mochte, wenn sie nicht zufallig von mir ware.' So begeistert ausserte sich Carl Friedrich Zelter bereits 1831 uber seinen Hymnus an die Sonne, der nun endlich in der Reihe 'Schatze der Chormusik' einen wurdigen Platz gefunden hat. Das in diesem Hymnus verwendete Gedicht In Flammen nahet Gott stammt aus dem Hauptwerk Urania von Christoph August Tiedge. Die beiden Ecksatze dieses dreiteiligen Werks setzt Zelter fur zwei gemischte Chore (SATB/SATB) und verwendet dabei uber weite Strecken gleiches musikalisches Material. Durchbrochen werden sie von einem klavierbegleiteten Tenor- und Bass-Solo. Ein sehr wirkungsvolles, dabei gut machbares Werk voller Pathos, das sich glanzend eignet fur Chore, die keine Scheu vor Achtstimmigkeit haben.

The Gloria, composed in early 1822 at the age of 13, is Mendelssohn's first creative venture in the field of church music on a larger scale. It is a direct result of his composition studies under the director of the Berlin Singakademie Carl Friedrich Zelter, but was no longer wholly a student work because the young composer hoped that Zelter would provide him with an opportunity to perform this work with the Singakademie. The enthusiasm for Handel and Bach which was sustained by the performances at the Singakademie influenced Mendelssohn's early creative style. In the Gloria Mendelssohn sought to emulate the model of the large-scale baroque cantata. The concluding fugue, the mysterious Qui tollis and lyrical solos ensembles in the place of solo arias give testimony to Mendelssohn's great talent and willingness to experiment. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4048300.

Wollny's description of the life and work of Sara Levy is supplemented by letters and family documents, as well as by a listing of the works by the Bach family which had been collected by the Itzigs.

In his essay on Sara Levy (1761-1854), Peter Wollny shows that Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's ancestors made a major contribution to the Bach reception of their time. Levy, who hailed from the Itzig family, gave musical soirees that testified to a veritable Bach cult, as the Berlin Court Kapellmeister Johann Friedrich Reichardt put it. As the central figure of the family activities, Levy was the patroness of the two eldest Bach sons Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel, and concertized at the harpsichord with Carl Friedrich Zelter's ensemble and other Berlin orchestral societies. Der enorme Vorteil in diesem Band liegt darin, verstreut Bekanntes sinnvoll, schon und nutzlich vereinigt zu finden. (Peter Suhring, info-netz-musik).
