Par SCHREKER FRANZ. Franz Schreker was an important representative of the “Wiener Moderne” and one of the most successful opera composers at the beginning of the 20th century. To conclude his studies at the Vienna Conservatory he set Psalm 116 for women’s choir and orchestra [1900] and dedicated to his “beloved teacher Robert Fuchs, in reverence. ” Fuchs, the highly respected composition teacher, was a close friend of Johannes Brahms and a champion of Brahms’s romantic classicism. Thus, Schreker’s psalm setting closely follows the tonal language of Brahms. In 1901 Psalm 116 was first performed in a concert of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and was first published in the same yearby the Viennese publisher Adolf Robitschek. The scoring of the psalm is identical with that of Brahms’s Deutsches Requiem, which would suggest and facilitate a performance of both these on the same concert program. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Choeur SSA, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 C

Psalm 109 (110). Par CARISSIMI GIACOMO. These psalm settings are in the tradition of classical vocal polyphony as practiced in the modified a cappella style of the 17 th century [“stylus gravis”]. Characteristic of this style is the continuo line, which generally doubles the vocal bass, only occasionally functioning independently. Despite its closeness to the tradition of the a-cappella style, Carissimi proves in this psalm to be a master of the artistic expression of words, which characterizes his music in the concertante style. This art is revealed here primarily in the rhythmically, highly differentiated diction of the words, which essentially distinguishes it from the flowing style of Palestrina. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Choeur SATB/SATB et Basse Continue

Kantate in 4 Sätzen. Par ESSL JURGEN. Das vorliegende Werk eignet sich sowohl für eine Aufführung als Ganzes, wie auch in einzelnen Teilen, z. B. für einen gegebenen gottesdienstlichen Anlass. Die beiden instrumentalen Ecksätze können dann nach Belieben eingesetzt werden. Ebenso denkbar ist die separate Aufführung von Teil II oder III. Diese beiden Vokalsätze sind in der Art einer erweiterten Psalmodie komponiert, d. h. mit nur wenigen melodischen Elementen und im Wechsel der Stimmgruppen. Das beherrschende Motte 'Lauschen, was Gott redet', bekommt seinen klanglichen Ausdruck in feinen dynamischen Schattierungen der Streicher oder der Orgel.

Domine, refugium factus es nobis. Par SCHANDERL HANS. Kurt Suttner, editor of the “carus novus” series, has written as follows in the foreword to the printed edition of Schanderl’s setting of Psalm 90: The seven verses of Psalm 90 contrast the eternity of God with the transitoriness of man. This contrast is symbolized in the composition by the majestic, slow-moving basic pulse of the music, and by rhythmically taut, concise, polyphonic melodic figures. This contrast exactly matches the words which speak either of the permanence of God [“Domine – Lord”] or the transitory nature of man [“convertimini filii hominum – return ye children of man” – “mane sicut herba – like the grass”]. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Choeur SSAATTBB

Small Sacred Concertos II. Par SCHUTZ HEINRICH. The 'Kleine geistliche Konzerte' (Small Sacred Concertos), published in two parts in 1636 and1639, are among the best-known and well-loved compositions of Heinrich Schütz. Both parts constitute a collection of vocal pieces in a broad range of styles written for only a few voices with basso continuo. Most of the texts are in German, but some are also in Latin. The first volume presents a broad spectrum of vocal scoring, musical forms and texts: there are solo concertos in the Italian style, traditional four-part motets, well-known Psalm texts set to music, hymns as well as mystically contemplative meditative literature. The concertos' monodic qualities and high level of virtuosity - especially in the compositions with German text - made Schütz a household name shortly after the 'Kleine geistliche Konzerte' were published in print. As the works required no large ensembles, they could be performed for different occasions and in various locations: particularly during the Thirty Years' War they could be heard at court, in cities or in villages but also in schools or at home. Unlike the 1963 edition of the 'Kleine geistliche Konzerte' (BA 3664, BA 3665, BA 3666) as part of the New Schütz Edition, this new volume presents the works for the first time in their original form and order. A historic-critical evaluation of all relevant sources yields new information regarding the composer's intentions, the printing process and the works' reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a reconstruction of an earlier version that has not been published until now. This edition is geared towards musicologists, as well as professional musicians and amateurs with a keen interest in early music./ Répertoire / Chant et Basse Continue
