Wacht! Euch Zum Streit Gefasset Macht. Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. There is a lot to be said for the argument that the oratorio Wacht! Euch zum Streit gefasset macht, which has been handed down anonymously, is actually the only surviving Abendmusik from Dieterich Buxtehude and that he composed this work, also known as Das Jüngste Gericht, for St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck, where it was probably performed around 1683. For the first time this full-length work, with its richly contrasting style and dramatic action, is made accessible for performance in its original form. Ton Koopman reconstructed the parts which were missing from the source. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Solistes SSSATB, Choeur SSATB, 2 Violons, 2 AltoS

Für die Passionszeit des Jahres 1680 komponierte Dieterich Buxtehude sein größtes oratorisches Werk, den Kantatenzyklus Membra Jesu nostri und widmete diesen dem mit ihm befreundeten schwedischen Hofkapellmeister Gustav Düben. In den sieben Einzelkantaten, die prinzipiell alle dem Schema „instrumentale Einleitung – Chorsatz mit Bibeltext – Vokalsoli (Aria) mit mittelalterlicher geistlicher Dichtung – Wiederholung des Chorsatzes“ folgen, werden Füße, Knie, Hände, Seite, Brust, Herz und Gesicht des gekreuzigten Christus allegorisch gedeutet.

Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. Das neugeborne Kindelein (The newborn babe, the heavenly child) (BuxWV 13) for Mixed choir (SATB), Strings, Basso continuo Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was Organist of the St Marien church in Lubeck from 1668 until his death. He wrote many works for specific secular occasions, feasts and celebrations etc. and although his positon did not require him to compose vocal music he left over 120 vocal works in a wide range of scorings, style and length. Almost all texts are sacred and scorings vary from a single voice with instrument to nine voices with several instruments and continuo. Dietrich Buxtehude's Cantata forfour part chorus is suited remarkably well for the Christmas services as well as the general religious services which choruses take part in every year. This opulent-sounding work possesses its every own special Christmas magic. It is a piece which can claim a place in the repertoire of many choruses. - Score with parts (BA717), separate parts (BA717) and choral score (BA717-91) available for sale/ Répertoire / SATB

Kantate. Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. Buxtehude's numerous vocal compositions which was written for performance in the Lübeck Marienkirche, are stylistically quite varied. The cantata 'Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied' is based on a text from the first verses of psalm 98 which occupies a unique position in the oeuvre of Buxtehude, since it employs only one solo instrument. The composition, which is in concertato style, offers both soloists rewarding challenges. / Date parution : 2006-02-01/ Répertoire / Solo S, Violon et Basse Continue

Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. Buxtehude took the melody and words from the evening hymn Christ, der du bist der helle Tag. The words are embellished with coloratures and a change of meter enhances the work’s charme. This composition goes beyond the bounds of a straightforward chorale cantata through its use of concertante elements, which also applies the voice parts. The title of this work, on a copy made by Gustav Düben, refers to the accompanying violin parts in the words “con due vel piu violini”. This may indicate that each part should be played by several instrumentalists. / Date parution : 2007-01-01/ Répertoire / Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Violon ou Violoncelle et B

Par CANTAGREL GILLES. Aprês le volumineux ouvrage consacré par Gilles Cantagrel aux cantates de J. S. Bach, celui-ci traite d'un ensemble d'oeuvres non moins capitales dans le répertoire de la musique occidentale : les deux Passions (selon saint Jean et selon saint Matthieu), les messes (et en particulier la Messe en si mineur), les motets. Afin de constituer un ensemble cohérent sur l'ensemble de la production vocale de Bach, on a ajouté ici quelques pages chantées issues du Petit Livre de musique pour Anna Magdalena Bach, ainsi que du recueil de chorals publié par l'éditeur Schemelli en 1736 (si toutes ne sont pas de Bach lui-même, elles font partie aujourd'hui du répertoire lié au compositeur). Comme dans l'ouvrage précédent dont il constitue le complément logique, on trouve ici, précédés d'introductions générales, le texte original des oeuvres avec sa traduction en vis-à -vis et un commentaire pas à  pas qui constitue un guide d'écoute permettant à  l'auditeur attentif d'approfondir sa perception. L'information, d'ordre historique, spirituel et musical, ouvre des perspectives sur les détails de l'écriture et la richesse infinie de ces chefs-d'oeuvre. Tenant compte des résultats les plus récents de la recherche musicologique, cet ouvrage se trouve également d'une grande accessibilité pour tout mélomane, l'érudition de Gilles Cantagrel s'exprimant toujours dans un langage des plus clairs. Gilles Cantagrel, de longue date familier de l'Allemagne musicienne des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages, et en particulier : Bach en son temps ; Le Moulin et la Riviêre, Air et variations sur Bach ; Dieterich Buxtehude ; De Schütz à  Bach ; Les Cantates de J. -S. Bach. / Broché / Livre / Livres
