German. Preface:
Schütz, Gudula. Text:
Barthold Heinrich
Brockes.
Handel
composed his only
oratorio in German
between 1716 and 1717
basing it on the then
popular Passion text by
Barthold Heinrich Brockes
entitled “Der
für die Sünde der
Welt gemarterte und
sterbende Jesusâ€
(“The Story of
Jesus, Suffering and
Dying for the Sins of the
Worldâ€).
Handel’s affinity
to opera is evident in
the musical realisation
of the emphatic text as
he creates a synthesis
between traditional
Protestant church music
and the depiction of
human passion in the
manner of opera
seria.
This
edition is based on the
corresponding volume of
the “Halle Handel
Edition†(BA 4021).
The full score, parts and
vocal score have been
newly engraved. The piano
reduction has been
simplified and brought up
to today’s
standards, thus making it
much more manageable to
play.
