Heinrich Schütz Psalm 100

SWV 493

Read and write feedback
On 28 September 1662 the rebuilt Dresden Schlosskapelle was consecrated. For this exceptional occasion, Heinrich Schütz, now the "oldest Kapellmeister" of the Dresden court and living in retirement, created an outstanding work in which he presented virtually a summation of his compositional skill with a complete setting of Psalm 100 for double choir. In the outer sections of the intonation and doxology, Schütz drew on the traditional psalm tones from liturgical monody, but in between he unfolded a highly imaginative, almost kaleidoscope-like sequence of musical images. The survival of this work is thanks to the fact Schütz included it as an appendix in his monumental major work of his maturity, his setting of Psalm 119 ("Schwanengesang," or swansong). In this edition the editor Werner Breig has added the two missing parts.

  • Psalm 100: Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt SWV 493

    Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
    Serve the Lord with gladness:
    come before his presence with singing.
    Know ye that the Lord he is God:
    it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
    Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
    and into his courts with praise:
    be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
    For the Lord is good;
    his mercy is everlasting;
    and his truth endureth to all generations.
    Ps 100

    Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
    and to the Holy Ghost,
    as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
    world without end. Amen.

    Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt!
    Dienet dem Herrn mit Freuden;
    kommet vor sein Angesicht mit Frohlocken!
    Erkennet, dass der Herre Gott ist!
    Er hat uns gemacht, und nicht wir selbst,
    zu seinem Volk und zu Schafen seiner Weide.
    Gehet zu seinen Toren ein mit Danken,
    zu seinen Vorhöfen mit Loben;
    danket ihm, lobet seinen Namen!
    Denn der Herr ist freundlich,
    und seine Gnade währet ewiglich
    und seine Wahrheit für und für.

    Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn
    und auch dem heiligen Geiste,
    wie es war im Anfang, jetzt und immerdar
    und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. Amen.

  • Foreword of the Edition Carus 20.493

    Werner Breig (abridged foreword of the Edition Carus 20.493)
    Translation: Elizabeth Robinson

    On 28 September 1662 the rebuilt Dresden Schlosskapelle was consecrated. For this exceptional occasion Heinrich Schütz, now the “oldest Kapellmeister” of the Dresden court and living in retirement in Weißenfels, created an outstanding work in the form of a complete setting of Psalm 100 for double choir (SWV 493). It was the last of five compositions on this psalm; it was preceded by two compositions on the German text of the Lutheran Bible (SWV 36a and 36); the first of these – a three-choir work with double echo – can be dated to his period in Kassel between the years studying in Venice and taking up the position of Kapellmeister in Dresden, and is evidently Schütz’s earliest composition to a text from the Lutheran Bible. In between came two settings of the Latin Vulgate text (SWV 262 and 332). And so, Schütz’s stylistic development can be followed in his settings of Psalm 100 over almost five decades.

  • Vorwort der Ausgabe Carus 20.493

    Werner Breig

    Am 28. September 1662 wurde die umgebaute Dresdner Schlosskapelle eingeweiht. Zu dieser außerordentlichen Gelegenheit schuf der inzwischen in Weißenfels im Ruhestand lebende „älteste Kapellmeister“ des Dresdner Hofes einen außerordentlichen Beitrag in Gestalt einer doppelchörigen vollständigen Vertonung des 100. Psalms (SWV 493). Es war die letzte von fünf Kompositionen über diesen Psalm; vorangegangen waren zwei Kompositionen über den deutschen Text der Luther-Bibel (SWV 36a und 36), von denen die erste – ein dreichöriges Werk mit doppeltem Echo – bereits in der Kasseler Zeit zwischen den venezianischen Studienjahren und dem Antritt des Dresdner Kapellmeisteramtes zu datieren ist und offenbar Schütz’ früheste Komposition über einen Text aus der Luther-Bibel darstellt. Dazwischen entstanden zwei Vertonungen des lateinischen Vulgata-Textes (SWV 262 und 332). An den Vertonungen des 100. Psalms lässt sich so Schütz’ stilistische Entwicklung über nahezu fünf Jahrzehnte verfolgen.

    Die Erhaltung der späten Vertonung des 100. Psalms verdanken wir dem Umstand, dass Schütz das

Additional product information
  • Heinrich Schütz is regarded as the first German musician of European stature. As a choirboy from 1599 at the court of Landgrave Moritz of Hessen-Kassel, he received a thorough education. In 1608 he began a law degree in Marburg, but broke this off in 1609 in order, with the support of the Landgrave, to study composition with Giovanni Gabrieli, organist at St Mark’s in Venice. In 1613 Schütz returned to Kassel, but two years later was enticed away by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony to the Dresden court as “Organist und Director der Musica”, where he held the position of Hofkapellmeister (court Kapellmeister) from 1617 until his death. Schütz’s great cycles of vocal works marked the high point of his reputation in Germany and northern Europe. But these represent only part of Schütz’s output; individual works are represented in printed collections with works by other composers, others only survive in manuscript, and much has been lost. The Stuttgart Schütz Edition makes available Schütz’s complete oeuvre, and all works are also published in practical Urtext editions. Personal details
