| Added by magataganm, 13 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. "In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr" ("In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust", literally: "For you I have hoped, Lord") is a Lutheran hymn in seven stanzas, written by Adam Reusner and first published in 1533. He paraphrased the beginning of Psalm 31. It was first sung to the melody of a Passion hymn. The melody connected with the hymn in 1560 was derived from models dating back to the 14th century. A third melody from 1608 became a hymn tune for several other songs and translations to English. In the German Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch, the hymn appears as EG 257 with the second melody. Johann Sebastian Bach used the second and third melodies in chorale preludes, and the third also in cantatas and the St Matthew Passion. English versions include a translation by Catherine Winkworth, "In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust". 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 XIV: "In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr" (In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust) from "Neuer lieblicher und zierlicher Intraden" for Wind Sextet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, English Horn, French Horn & Bassoon). | |||
