From Paulus. Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Robert van Beringen. Musica Sacra. Classical. Set (Score and Parts). Composed 2010. De Haske Publications #DHP 1104880-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1104880-020).

This excellent arrangement by Robert van Beringen is of the well-known German chorale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, taken from the oratorio Paulus (St. Paul) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847). Although accredited to Mendelssohn it is thought the melody was in fact written by the pastor and poet Philipp Nicolai in 1599. Robert van Beringenâ??s arrangement perfectly captures the biblical story of St. Paul.

Robert van Beringen bewerkte het bekende koraal Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme uit Paulus, het eerste oratorium van Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Mendelssohn liet zich graag door de muziek van Johann Sebastian Bach inspireren.Pas vijfentwintig jaar oud zette hij het dramatische bijbelverhaal over Paulus zeer overtuigend op muziek. Robert van Beringen maakte hiervan een bekoorlijke versie voor fanfareorkest.

Rob ert van Beringen bearbeitete den bekannten Choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme aus Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys erstem Oratorium Paulus. Der erst 25-jährige Mendelssohn, der sich gerne von Johann Sebastian Bachs Musik inspirieren lie�, setzte die dramatische biblische Geschichte von Paulus sehr überzeugend in Musik um. Auch in der Fassung für Fanfareorchester von Robert van Beringen bestechend gut!

Paulus (1834-1836) est le premier oratorio de Mendelssohn. Il raconte la vie de Saint Paul. L'ouverture est une fantaisie sur le célèbre choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Rarement donné, lâ??oratorio Paulus est pourtant significatif du romantisme allemand. Lâ??arrangement de Robert van Beringen nous fait redécouvrir ce chef-dâ??Å?uvre oublié.

Paulus (1834-1836), il primo oratorio di Mendelssohn, narra la vita di San Paolo. Lâ??ouverture è una fantasia sul celebre corale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Lâ??oratorio Paulus è rappresentativo del romanticismo tedesco. Lâ??arrangiamento di Robert van Beringen ci fa riscoprire questo capolavoro spesso dimenticato.

Cantata BWV 127 belongs to the cycle of chorale cantatas which Bach performed in 1724/25 in Leipzig. It bears close links to the St John Passion, which was performed on Good Friday 1725 in its second version. In formal terms and in the interpretation of the text and its orchestration, it is one of the most astonishing vocal works by Bach. The opening chorus, with its multi-layered construction, is nothing less than a preliminary version for the chorale fantasia O Mensch bewein dein Sunde gross. The aria Die Seele ruht in Jesu Handen is distinguished by its exquisite scoring: a solo oboe and the soprano form a duet, whilst the background comprises delicate chords on recorders and continuo, intended to symbolize funeral bells. A solo trumpet gives the following movement particular brilliance. The words Ich breche mit starker und helfender Hand unmistakably anticipate the chorus Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden from the St Matthew Passion. New revised edition.

Die Musik von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy gehort fur viele Chore zum festen und gern gesungenen Repertoire, das vom einfachen romantischen Volkslied bis zum ausgewachsenen Oratorium reicht. Durch alle Chorsparten ist seine Musik bekannt und beliebt. Und dochhat Mendelssohn kaum fur Fraunenchöre geschrieben, obwohl entsprechende Ensembles bereits zu seinen Lebzeichen im 19. Jahrhundert inder Chorlandschaft ein Rolle spielen. Fur die vorliegende Sammlung hat sich Pascal Martine deshalb des Kunstgriffs der Bearbeitung bedient. Als Vorlage dienten Mendelssohns Gesange fur zwei Frauenstimmen und Klavier, die er auf drei Frauenstimmen erweitert hat. Dabei ist die hinzugefugte Stimme so konzipiert, dass die romantische Stimmführung berücksichtigt und Mendelssohns jeweilige Satztechnik logisch erweitert wurde. Die originale Klavierbegleitung wurde beibehalten und tragt so zum liedhaften Charakter dieser Chorbearbeitungen bei. Contents: Ich wollt' meine Lieb' ergosse sich; Gruss; Herbstlied; Wie kann ich froh und lustig sein; Maiglockchen und die Blümelein; Abendlied; Sonntagsmorgen; Denn in seiner Hand ist, was die Erde bringt.

Madame Hensel, Mendelssohn's sister, whose eyes speak intelligence and profundity''. This diary entry made by Robert Schumann in June 1843 succinctly but fittingly characterizes Fanny Hensel, without a doubt the most significant woman composer of the 19th century. Born in Hamburg on 14 November 1805, she was the eldest sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the granddaughter of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. In 1829 she married the Prussian court painter and occasional poet Wilhelm Hensel (1794-1861). After her sudden death in Berlin on 14 May 1847 as a result of a stroke, the music journalist Ludwig Rellstab poignantly wrote that she shared the brotherhood ef talent with her famous sibling.Fanny Hensel was given the same excellent and comprehensive musical training as her precocious brother, including composition lessons with Goethe's friend Carl Friedrich Zelter. Felix and Fanny not only loved each other tenderly, but they also maintained an intensive, life-long exchange of ideas which proved musically profitable to both of them. However, it was only in 1846 that Mendelssohn gave up his resistance to Fanny's publication plans. And so, just shortly before her death, she was able to publish a carefully selected sample of her songs and piano pieces.Not only these pieces, but also a few orchestral and chamber-music works (e.g. the String Quartet in E flat major, KM 2255) and, in particular, choral music occupy an important position in her oeuvre. Most of her choral works were written in 1846, and she was able to rehearse them with the chorus she conducted at the famous Sunday Concerts in the Mendelssohn home. She had six of these choral songs published in a revised version under the title Gartenlieder Op. 3 by the Berlin music publisher Bote & Bock. The title of the Gartenlieder brings to mind Mendelssohn's well-known Lieder im Freien zu singen (Opera 41, 48, 59; ChB 4763-4780), published before 1846. But, as far as the quality of their melodic writing, the compositional technique, and the choice of texts are concerned, as well as the perfect balance between folk-like simplicity and polished design, they are as outstanding as the works of her brother.

Fanny Hensel's choral works not only stand up to comparison with any of the rich and varied choral works of the Romantic era - they also rank among the best. Very likely to become hits! (Musica).
