| Ajoutée par magataganm, 06 Sep 2021 Michael Altenburg (1584 – 1640) was a German theologian and composer. He was born at Alach, near Erfurt. He began attending school in Erfurt in 1590; he began studying theology at the University of Erfurt in 1598, and was awarded a bachelor's degree in 1599 and a master's in 1603. From 1600 he taught at the Reglerschule in Erfurt; he was Kantor at St. Andreas from 1601 and rector of the school at St. Andreas in Erfurt from 1607. In 1609 he quit teaching to become a pastor, moving to Tröchtelborn and preaching there until 1621. During this period Altenburg published music, and was compared to Orlando di Lasso. After 1621 he moved to Sömmerda, working at the Bonifaciuskirche. While he continued to publish and was respected for his compositions, the Thirty Years War sapped his efforts. In 1636 a massive plague wiped out most of his congregation, and his wife and ten of his children died before himself. He returned to Erfurt in 1637, where he remained as deacon and, from 1638, minister at St Andreas. Much of Altenburg's compositional output consists of vocal concertos, motets and chorales. "Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein" ("Oh God, look down from heaven") is a Lutheran chorale of 1524, with words written by Martin Luther paraphrasing Psalm 12. It was published as one of eight songs in 1524 in the first Lutheran hymnal, the Achtliederbuch, which contained four songs by Luther, three by Speratus, and one by Justus Jonas. It was contained in 1524 in the Erfurt Enchiridion. It is part of many hymnals, also in translations. The text inspired vocal and organ music by composers such as Heinrich Schütz, who set it as part of his Becker Psalter, and Johann Sebastian Bach, who based a chorale cantata on it. Mozart used one of its tunes in his opera The Magic Flute. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Altenburg). Although originally written for 5 parts instrumental (SSATB) & 1 part vocal or instrumental (T), I created this Interpretation of the Intrada V: "Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein" (Oh God, look down from heaven) from "Neuer lieblicher und zierlicher Intraden" for Wind Sextet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, English Horn, French Horn & Bassoon). | |||
