After Missa Latina and Magnificat, Te Deum is now the third major composition by musician and composer Karl Albrecht “Bobbi” Fischer published by Carus. Fischer’s musical roots lie in classical music, which he combines with jazz elements and Latin American rhythms.

All three styles appear in the Te Deum. In keeping with the proclamation “Te Deum laudamus” (We praise thee, O God), the work begins with the festive (Cuban) energy, propelled by timpani and trumpet; the choir can also be heard imitating fanfares. Later, a cappella choruses become a recurring element, in which phrases set as Gregorian chant are presented against an ever-changing chordal background. But the score also features elements of swing and rhythm and blues, frenetic choral outbursts of joy, as well as moments of mystic contemplation. Moreover, the instrumentalists are given ample opportunity for improvised solos. Interwoven into the otherwise Latin text is the well-known German chorale Großer Gott, wir loben dich. Here several verses can be sung with the congregation; alongside the original German text, the score features the English translation “Holy God, we praise thy name”.

- An exciting combination of classical choral music with elements of jazz and Latin American music

- The congregation can take part in the performance (chorale)

- Singers can choose between Latin/German or Latin/English

- Varied mix of styles

- An enrichment of our crossover program

A mirage is an illusion, something without substance that does not really exist. Although not real, its unattainable nature is perfect for musical inspiration. Composer Jacob de Haan was strolling through a picturesque forest of the Dutch Gelderland when he thought he saw a body of water. While there was no water, its mere image created waves that can be relived in De Haan’s original composition, Mirage.

Mirage is het Engelse synoniem voor ‘Fata Morgana‘. De creatieve aanleiding voor deze compositie was dan ook het verhaal van een wandelaar die in een boslandschap in Gelderland water denkt te zien. Het in het triodeel deelsgezongen ‘wandelthema� � brengt de vreugde die de toeschouwer aan dit natuurverschijnsel beleeft bijzonder goed tot uitdrukking.

Mirag e“ ist ein englisches Synonym für Fata Morgana“. Als kreativer Anstoß für diese Komposition diente Jacob de Haan ein Spaziergänger, der durch eine Waldlandschaft im holländischen Gelderland geht und dabei glaubt, ein Gewässer zu sehen. Das im Trio teilweise gesungene Spaziergangs“-Thema bringt die Freude an diesem Naturerlebnis besonders gut zum Ausdruck.

« Fata Morgana » est le nom donné un phénomène de mirage, et que l'on attribuait la fée Morgane. Du mirage, nous passons aux notes joyeuses d’une étrange promenade en forêt où la lumière donne la sensation de l’existence d’une nappe d’eau au pied d’un arbre. Mirage ou réalité ? vous de le découvrir. Ce qui est s r, c’est que le Thème de la promenade (Trio) est partiellement chanté.

Una sorta di miraggio ha ispirato Jacob de Haan a comporre questo brano, prendendo spunto appunto da un “miraggio” di uno specchio d’acqua che gli si è presentato durante una passeggiata in una foresta in Olanda. Il tema della “passeggiata” parzialmente cantato nel trio, enfatizza gli spettacoli che la natura ci offre.

In the composition 'La terre' several aspects of Earth have been translated into sounds in an associative manner. The first part depicts Nature, Mother Earth, stability, the soil which is the source of life. Earth symbolizes tradition, rituals, fertility. In the music of the composition this can be heard in tonic and ostinato passages. Furthermore, human emotions such as gladness, sorrow, wonder, resignation, hope and despair, indissolubly connected as they are to mankind's life on earth, are musically reflected in sudden gusts of expression. Earth for us human beings is the solid ground on which everything in life takes place. In the second part different moodsare evoked in a sort of toccata. Now and then the music sounds fragmented, at other times as a solid whole. The robustness of the music in this part has its roots in the earth, originates from it. It reflects stability and strength, but love and nostalgia are also present in soft and fragile tones. 'La terre' is a musical narrative about Earth, in which music has been given ample room to show its many-sided beauty.

In het werk La terre worden op een associatieve manier allerlei elementen in klanken vertaald. De grondstoffen voor de instrumenten zijn de bouwstoffen voor de compositie. Het eerste gedeelte schildert de natuur, moeder aarde, houvast,de grond, waaruit alles voortkomt. De grond staat voor traditie, rituelen, vruchtbaarheid. In de muziek vertaalt zich dit in grondtonige passages, ostinato, maar ook de windvlagen van de inspiratie. De reflecties van menselijkeemoties, verbonden aan de aarde, het leven op de aarde, zijn o.a.: blijdschap, verdriet, verwondering, berusting, hoop, wanhoop. De aarde is de vaste grond, waarop alles zich voltrekt. In het tweede deel wordt gespeeld met destemmingen in een soort toccata. Soms verbrokkelt, dan weer als een massief geheel. De robuustheid van de klank is gegrond op de aarde, komt er uit voort. Er klinkt houvast en kracht in door, maar ook de liefde en nostalgie wordtervaren in de zachte en broze klanken. La terre is het verhaal van de aarde, waaruit muziek oprijst in zijn veelzijdige schoonheid.

SKU: BT.GOB-001118-120

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Score Only. 34 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 001118-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-001118-120).

Everybody is familiar with the zoo. Remember all those animals? Big ones, small ones. Water dwellers, air-bound birds, long legged hoppers, creeping bugs. All animals seem to have their own peculiarities.
Now, Carl Wittrock (who also composed the world-famous master piece 'Lord Tullamore') invites you to join him in a musical exploration of the animal kingdom.
An invitation you must not reject! In his 'A view at the Zoo', Wittrock presents ten distinctly different animals as compositions of music. You may be familiar with some of those animals, such as the white swan or the butterfly, but there are also more exotic breeds, like the lion, the monkey, or theelephant.

The composition as a whole is built around a structure of shorter fragments reminiscent of 'The Paintings Exhibition' by Moussorgsky. The parts are decorated with recognizable illustrations of the different animals. At each composition, Wittrock looks for something that can fascinate both musicians and listeners. In this he succeeded extremely well.

De dierentuin. iedereen is er wel eens geweest! Al die verschillende dieren, groot en klein, gevaarlijk en ongevaarlijk, in het water, in de lucht of gewoon op het droge, en allemaal met hun eigen bijzonderheden.
Carl Wittrock(componist van o.a. het wereldberoemde ‘Lord Tullamore’) neemt je in ‘A View at the Zoo’ mee op een muzikale ontdekkingstocht door het dierenrijk die je absoluut niet mag missen.
In totaal komen we gedurende deze wandeling10 compleet verschillende dieren tegen. Naast de dieren die je niet zomaar op straat tegenkomt, zoals de leeuw, de aap en de olifant, is er ook aandacht voor dieren waar we misschien al iets beter bekend mee zijn, zoals de zwaanen de vlinder.

De compositie bestaat uit korte deeltjes die qua opzet doen denken aan ‘De Schilderijententoonstelli ng’ van Moussorgsky. De partijen zijn versierd met herkenbare illustraties van de verschillende dieren.Wittrock zoekt bij elke compositie naar iets wat zowel de musici als de luisteraars kan boeien en dat is bijzonder goed gelukt!

Lent & Easter Musical
Not 'Who Was Jesus?' but 'Who Is Jesus?' The question is asked in the present tense because it's Christ's interaction with our lives in the here and now that is the focus of this 30 minute Tenebrae service. The events of Holy Week are presented through enticing arrangements of familiar hymns and spirituals plus narration, culminating with the crucifixion story in a moving rendition of 'O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. ' There are opportunities to include vocal solos, as well as, congregational singing. The accompaniment can be provided by piano, CD track, or a chamber ensemble of five instruments. A further option is an organ part that can work with just piano or can be added to the chamber instruments. Finally, there are instructions for lighting and extinguishing seven candles ending in darkness with all softly singing of the first verse of 'Fairest Lord Jesus. '

A Discovery Fantasy is gebaseerd op de herkenningsmelodie van de televisieserie â??Op zoek naar muziekâ?. Dit programma, dat tussen 1986 en 1988 op de Nederlandse televisie te zien was, werd o.a. door de componist Jan de Haan samengesteld.Het nam de toeschouwer mee naar een bepaalde plaats of streek, om ze kennis te laten maken met de meest verschillende vormen van muziekbeoefening. Bij het schrijven van A Discovery Fantasy had de componist dit succesvolle televisieprogrammavoor ogen. De herkenningsmelodie wordt gevolgd door drie los van elkaar staande delen - een bolero, een rondo en een romantisch intermezzo - en net als bij een televisieprogramma eindigt het werk met een eindtun.

Jan de Haans abwechslungsreiche Komposition A Discovery Fantasy basiert auf der Erkennungsmelodie einer Musiksendung und enthält einen Bolero, ein Rondeau und ein romantisches Intermezzo.

Composed by Johann Ernst Bach. Edited by Klaus Rettinghaus. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed 1771 (ca.). BR-JEB F 12. Duration 15 minutes. Carus Verlag #3550419. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3550419).

ISBN 9790007246662. German. Text: Albinus, Johann Georg.

The chorale cantata Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn (O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger), which was probably written in 1771, makes use of a poem by Johann Georg Albinus on the 6th Psalm. The seven stanzas of the original are realized in seven separate movements. The work’s composer, Johann Ernst Bach, received his musical training from his godfather, Johann Sebastian Bach. He later served in a dual capacity as public lawyer and organist in Eisenach, then from 1756 as Kapellmeister at the ducal court in Weimar.The well-known hymn melody, which has also survived with the text “Mache dich, mein Geist, bereit”, can be heard in all movements. As a setting of a penitential psalm, the cantata is particularly suitable for performance during Lent and Holy Week.
