The
French composer Louis
Bourgeois lived from
c.1510 to 1560. Bourgeois
was cantor in Geneva and,
commissioned by John
Calvin, he composed
melodies for metrical
(rhyming) versions of the
psalms. After completing
about a hundred one-part
psalms, he made some
four-part arrangements,
which were denounced and
even resulted in his
imprisonment for a day.
Later, Bourgeois
published a number of
psalm collections, and
judging from his book Le
droict chemin de musique
he was also an excellent
educator. The melodies
Bourgeois composed, are
(contrary to Gregorian
chants) particularly
suitable for community
singing. This applies to
his hymn tune Saint
Michael, which is why
this melody hasbeen used
for various texts,
written for many
occasions. John Blanken
made this arrangement for
a wedding ceremony: an
occasion in which faith
and trust play a large -
if not the largest -
role. Hence the title
Hymn of Faith. The
arrangement contains four
verses of the hymn. After
a majestic opening the
hymn follows twice, the
second verse being
embellished in the tenor
register. After a short
interlude verse three
follows, played by a
quartet. The majestic
opening is then repeated
as a modulation into the
fourth verse, which
concludes the work in a
brilliant tutti.
De melodieën
van de France componist
Louis Bourgeois (ca.
1510-1560) zijn heel
geschikt voor volkszang -
zo ook de hymne ST
Michael. Niet voor niets
is deze melodie gebruikt
voor vele liedteksten
voor uiteenlopende
gelegenheden. JohnBlanken
maakte dit arrangement
voor een trouwdienst, een
gelegenheid waarbij
vertrouwen een grote rol
speelt, vandaar de
titelHymn of
Faith. Het
arrangement herbergt vier
vrezen. Na een
majestueuze opening volgt
de hymnetwee keer,
waarbij het tweede vers
wordt omgespeeld in het
tenorregister. Na een
kort tussenspel volgt
vers drie in een zetting
voor kwartet. De opening
wordt herhaald als
modulatie naar het vierde
vers, waarmee het werk in
eenstralend tutti
afsluit.
Der
Komponist, Kantor und
Pädagoge Louis
Bourgeois lebte im 16.
Jahrhundert in Genf und
komponierte Psalm- und
Kirchenliedmelodien, die
sich besonders gut für
den Gemeindegesang
eigneten. Die vorliegende
Bearbeitung einer seiner
Melodien schrieb John
Blanken für eine
Hochzeitszeremonie - ein
Anlass, bei dem Glaube
und Vertrauen eine
große Rolle spielen:
Daher der Titel Hymn
of Faith. Ein
wunderbares Stück
ernste“ Musik, das
zu vielen Gelegenheiten
passt.
