Zu den so wenigen noch nachweisbaren Werken Johann Christoph Altnikols tritt jetzt, alle an Ausdruck und Gestaltung ubertreffend, eine bisher unbekannt gebliebene Motette Befiehl du deine Wege. Sie umschliesst in wechselreicher Folge samtliche zwolf Strophen des Paul Gerhardtschen Liedes und lasst nicht nur die ,,ganz besondere Geschicklichkeit in der Komposition erkennen, wie Johann Sebastian Bach sie einst seinem ,,ehemaligen lieben ecolier und Schwiegersohn Altnikol bestatigt hat, sondern zeigt sich auch beruhrt von der Nahe Bach'schen Geistes.Dem Erstdruck dieser schonen, unseren Kirchenchoren gewiss sehr willkommenen Choralbearbeitung liegen vier Stimmen nebst Partitur aus dem Besitz eines mit Altnikol wohl gleichzeitigen Johann Gottlieb Petzold zugrunde, die, bis auf vereinzelte (nunmehr getilgte) Versehen von zwei verschiedenen Handen gut geschrieben, heute Eigentum der Sammlung Manfred Gorke (Eisenach) sind.(Max Schneider)

Passion Music After Bach

ISBN 9790004215838. 10 x 12.5 inches.

This Passion oratorio Gethsemane und Golgatha was composed in the astonishingly short period from 22 to 28 July 1838 on a text by the evangelist Wilhelm Schuber, a close friend of Friedrich Schneider's. The premiere took place on Good Friday, 29 March 1839, in the Dessau Castle and City Church under the composer's direction. Contemporary reviews rank the curious work ... with respect to the form, in line with the Passions of the great J. S. Bach, constructed with such pious meaning and high art [...] and then get rather similarly carried away in effusive statements. The composer himself took utmost control of how his work was to be used and also most effectively involved the listening congregation in the performances by using for the chorales melodies that were sufficiently familiar from the worship service. At the same time, Schneider points out that the work was to be performed only in an ecclesiastical context. Purely as a Passion oratorio, Gethsemane und Golgatha fits in between the Johann Sebastian Bach Passions and Carl Loewe's Das Suhnopfer des neuen Bundes.

“I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.” Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach’s “St Matthew Passion”. Originally composed for Vespers on Good Friday, and even longer in duration than the “St John Passion”, it reconstructs the story of Christ’s Passion with immense musical, emotional and spiritual intensity.

And so, this monumental and complex composition has come to rank amongst the high points of Western culture. For good reason the “rediscovery” of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music began in 1829 with the performance of this work by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the Berlin Singakademie.

The autograph manuscript is regarded as one of Bach’s most beautiful – the fair copy demonstrates the importance he attached to the careful preservation of the work for posterity. A further spezial feature is the coloured ink with which he wrote the biblical text and the music of the chorale “O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig”.

This facsimile edition reproduces the autograph score of the “St Matthew Passion” for the first time in high-quality colour printing. The Bach specialist Christoph Wolff introduces the background to the work’s composition and the characteristics of the manuscript.

Barbara Schneider-Kempf and Martina Rebmann (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) provide further details regarding the history of the autograph manuscript.
