The cantata Schmucket das Fest mit Maien has survived without any information about the time of its composition, its purpose, or its scoring. The librettist is also unknown, although there is a comparatively similar text in the work of the Silesian poet Hans Assmann Freiherr von Abschatz (1646-1699), printed in Leipzig in 1704. Since the copy of the score that serves as the source for this edition was probably written after 1708, and the work is closely related to the cantata Daran erkennen wir (PB 32090), it could have been written during Kuhnau's first years as Thomaskantor from 1701 on.The text set to music provides information about the purpose of the cantata. In the course of the work, the image of the bridegroom and his bride from the Song of Songs is reinterpreted as the sending of the Holy Spirit upon the congregation of Christians. In the first part, passages from the Song of Songs predominate while the second part quotes their symbolic interpretations or treats them in free poetry. In the concluding chorale, a stanza from Philipp Nicolai's Wie schon leuchtet der Morgenstern (How beautifully the morning star shines), the outpouring and the flames are also mentioned, so the purpose to the feast of Pentecost is clear.Another special feature of the cantata is the varied and colorful instrumentation with the scoring of two flutes, two oboes and bassoon in individual movements, in addition to the usual, sometimes divided strings.

With Carl Friedrich Zelter's motet Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Hermann Max, editor of the Choral Treasury series, has uncovered a real treasure. The three-verse text of the motet for mixed choir (SATB) and basso continuo was written by Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock who kept close to the Advent song of the same name by Philipp Nicolai. During Zelter's lifetime, the motet enjoyed great popularity. And quite rightly so: For the music teacher and friend of Goethe turned out to be a composer with an extraordinary sense of tone. An introductory choral movement is followed by a captivating bass aria which can be optionally sung by all basses of the choir. The piece culminates in an elaborate virtuoso fugue with an interwoven cantus firmus in the bass. A demanding, yet highly rewarding rarity in church music!

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 Beringen’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 ließ, 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, l’oratorio Paulus est pourtant significatif du romantisme allemand. L’arrangement de Robert van Beringen nous fait redécouvrir ce chef-d’œuvre oublié.

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