Say, where is he born the king of Judea? For we have seen his star, and are come to adore him.

There shall a star from Jacob come forth,

and dash in pieces princes and nations.
As bright the star of morning gleams,
so Jesus sheddeth glorious beams
of light and consolation!
Thy Word, O Lord, radiance darting,
truth imparting, gives salvation.
Thine be praise and adoration!... -

Die Geburt Christi
1. Rezitativ (Sopran)
Da Jesus geboren ward zu Bethlehem im jüdischen Lande, da kamen die Weisen vom Morgenlande gen Jerusalem und beteten ihn an.

Wo ist der neugeborne König der Juden? Wir haben seinen Stern gesehn und sind gekommen, ihn anzubeten.

Dein Wort, Jesu, ist die Klarheit,
führt zur Wahrheit und zum Leben.
Wer kann dich genug erheben?... -

Foreword of the Edition Carus 40.131
R. Larry Todd
The oratorio Christus has remained among Mendelssohn’s most enigmatic works, raising innumerable questions since his death in November 1847 that have so far eluded answers in the scholar ly literature. Left unfinished, the project appeared in print in 1852 as Mendelssohn’s Op. 97, the twenty-sixth in a series of posthumous works. It included a trio for male soloists, several recitatives and choruses, and a setting of the chorale “Er nimmt auf seinen Rücken.” Understandably enough, the editors of the first edition divided these numbers into two parts: “The Birth of Christ” (Trio of the Wise Men and Chorus “Es wird ein Stern aus Jakob aufgeh’n”) and “The Passion of Christ” (alternating recitatives and choruses for the audience with Pilate and the procession to Golgatha, concluding with the chorus “Ihr Töchter Zions, weint über euch selbst,” and the chorale). But the ultimate position of the fragments in the oratorio remains unclear; indeed, Mendelssohn himself seems not to have specified a bipartite division (versus, say, a tripartite ordering, with a third section for the Resurrection), and, furthermore, does not appear to have used the title Christus for what

Vorwort der Ausgabe Carus 40.131
R. Larry Todd
Übersetzung: Helga BesteDas Oratorium Christus ist und bleibt eines der rätselhaftesten Werke Mendelssohns, das seit dem Tod des Komponisten im November 1847 unzählige Fragen aufwirft, die die Forschungsliteratur bis heute nicht beantworten kann.
Das unvollendete Werk erschien 1852 als Mendelssohns op. 97 erstmals im Druck. Es war die 26. Veröffentlichung in einer Reihe mit postumen Werken. Mendelssohn hinterließ unter anderem ein Terzett für drei Männerstimmen, mehrere Rezitative und Chöre und eine Vertonung des Chorals „Er nimmt auf seinen Rücken“. Die Herausgeber der ersten Ausgabe unterteilten diese Nummern verständlicherweise in zwei Teile: „Die Geburt Christi“ (Terzett der Weisen aus dem Morgenland) und Chor „Es wird ein Stern aus Jakob aufgehn“ und „Die Passion Christi“, bestehend aus Rezitativen und Chören im Wechsel für die Anhörung bei Pilatus und den Gang nach Golgatha, der mit dem Chor „Ihr Töchter Zions, weint über euch selbst“ schließt, sowie dem Choral. Doch die eigentliche Positionierung der Fragmente im Oratorium bleibt ungeklärt, Mendelssohn selbst scheint sich auch nicht auf eine Zweiteiligkeit festgelegt zu haben (im Gegensatz,

Lautten Compagney Berlin
The Lautten Compagney is one of the most renowned and creative baroque instrument ensembles in Germany. Their concerts, under the artistic direction of Wolfgang Katschner, have fascinated audiences for three decades. With their infectious joy in performing and their innovative concepts, these ‘early musicians’ effortlessly translate the musical language of the Baroque to the present. Whether it’s as a solo chamber ensemble or an opera orchestra, the ensemble is continually crossing boundaries and seeking out encounters with new sounds and other art forms. The ensemble has received numerous awards for its exciting musical collaborations. For its CD recording of the program Timeless, combining early Baroque music with works by Philip Glass, it received an ECHO Klassik award in 2010. And their winning the Rheingau Musik Prize 2012 was in recognition of the Lautten Compagney’s creative concert programming. The ensemble has a particular interest in music theater, especially the works of George Frideric Handel. Their performances of Handel’s Serse on a tour of New Zealand in 2011 took both audiences and press by storm. Their production of Rinaldo, a collaboration with the Milan puppet company Carlo Colla e Figli, was enthusiastically received by young and old alike. The Lautten Compagney is a regular guest at leading national and international concert halls and festivals, including the Konzerthaus and Radialsystem V in Berlin, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Frauenkirche Dresden, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Vienna Musikverein, Warsaw Philharmonic, An unmistakable sound, breathtaking blend, tremendous sense of musical assurance and a good portion of charm and wit are amarcord’s special hallmarks. The group’s extremely diverse and wide-ranging repertoire encompasses medieval songs, Renaissance madrigals and masses, compositions and cycles of works from the European Romantic and 20th century as well as a cappella arrangements of folk songs from all over the world, and well-known rock, pop, soul, and jazz songs. The ensemble has won prizes at numerous international competitions. In 2002 amarcord won the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb. Alongside the Gewandhaus Orchestra and St. Thomas’s Choir, amarcord is one of the most important representatives of the music city of Leipzig at home and abroad. The group is a frequent guest at leading music festivals. Numerous concert tours have taken the singers to over fifty countries and to almost every continent in the world. In association with the Goethe-Institut they have given guest performances in Australia, South East Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Africa, and Central America. The International Festival for Vocal Music “a cappella” (www.a-cappella-festival.de), inaugurated by amarcord in 1997, has become one of the most important festivals of its kind under the group’s artistic direction. Numerous CDs impressively document the different facets of amarcord’s repertoire, and have won many prizes such as ECHO Klassik (2010, 2012), the International Classical Music Award, Supersonic Award and the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award.
