Johann Sebastian Bach wrote testimonials for alumni of St Thomas 's School who wanted to apply for scholarships to study at university. Until recently, only one of these testimonials was known, but not its exact purpose. In the summer of 2008 Andreas Glockner discovered three further testimonials in the Leipzig University Archive which then shed light on the overall circumstances in which they were produced. The fact that Bach, the cantor at St Thomas's produced testimonials for scholarship applicants was previously unknown, as was the setting up of a special fund to support poor students from St Thomas's and Bach's participation in making these awards.

These findings therefore represent a wealth of new discoveries and insights for Bach scholarship. It is particularly pleasing that there are now more dated written documents from Bach's last decade which contain information on the situation of church music in Leipzig in the year of Bach's death.

THREE MYSTERIES OF NAGASAKI was inspired by the eerie darkness and ambiguous bells of the oldest Western church in Japan. Dorff’s program note describes impressions of his visit to Nagasaki while withholding any explanation of the three movements. The 13-minute work is a duo for violin and one percussionist, with an array of pitched and unpitched ringing metallic instruments plus bass drum.
THREE MYSTERIES OF NAGASAKI was inspired by the ambiguous bells of the oldest Western church in Japan.In an island nation that used to thrive on isolation from the rest of the world, Nagasaki has long been a vulnerable exception. From the 16th through 19th centuries, it was Japan’s only international port, open to Portuguese and Dutch traders. From this sole crossroads, Christianity (along with European food, flowers, and language) began flowing into the otherwise insular culture. The US Navy’s presence in the 1800s added to Nagasaki being Japan’s exposed Achilles’ heel, which may be why Puccini’s Madama Butterfly is set in this city, with Cho-Cho-San’s vulnerability symbolizing the risk of openness to Western influence.I’ve had occasion to visit Nagasaki, and have never felt so haunted. Aside from the unspeakable atrocity of 1945 and the lasting presence of that horror, there also remains a mysterious air of not really being in pure Japan, or in the present day. Nowhere was this more obvious than within the Ōura Basilica, the earliest Christian church built in Japan. Decades after visiting the basilica, I still recall its oddly distorted and slowly pealing bells, and timeless incense floating in relative darkness. The mysterious bells have stayed with me both for their own sonority, and as a subconscious reminder of everything Nagasaki is and was.Composed for a violinist-percussionist couple who ended a decades-long relationship just as I completed the work (and never performing it), it was originally called simply THREE MYSTERIES; I couldn’t make a direct reference in the title because it felt too raw. Looking back years later, the updated title THREE MYSTERIES OF NAGASAKI seems to ask more questions than it answers.

Text by the composer based on a drama by Carlo GozziTranslation: engl. (L. Salter), ital. (O. Previtali)Place: Im aussersten Orient. Vor dem Stadttor Pekings, Thronsaal im Kaiserpalast, das Frauengemach TurandotsCharacters: Altoum, Kaiser (bass) - Turandot, seine Tochter (soprano) - Adelma, ihre Vertraute (mezzo-soprano) - Kalaf, Sohn des Timur, ein Prinz (tenor) - Barak, sein Getreuer (baritone) - Die Koniginmutter von Samarkand, eine Mohrin (soprano) - Truffaldino, Haupt der Eunuchen (tenor) - Pantalone, Minister (bass) - Tartaglia, Minister (bass) - Acht Doktoren (4 tenors, 4 basses) - Eine Vorsangerin (mezzo-soprano) - Der Scharfrichter (stumme Rolle)Busoni's work, which antedates Puccini's famous setting by a few years, seems rather cool in com-parison to the later piece. Busoni tones down the colors of his orientalisms and totally eschews sentimental lyricism. His strengths lie especially in the scintillating, unfathomable characters and in a music that hovers in an ambivalent manner between brightness and darkness, sadness and humor, danger and harmlessness. This work of art makes its references clear: Gozzi's play about the murderous princess is peopled with familiar commedia dell'arte figures, and one is not quite sure whether this mixture of fun and danger gives a more relaxed feeling to the activity on the stage or whether it does not do precisely the opposite, adding the irreconcilable perspective of a gondola trip on the edge of a bottomless gulf. Busoni is more faithful to Gozzi than Puccini and thus to the gracious levity that hovers over the excesses of the action. His mild chinoiseries repeatedly lead to a Neo-Classicism inspired by Venetian folklore. (Hans-Klaus Jungheinrich, 1985) Turandot was premiered with Arlecchino in Zurich on 11 May 1917.
