Translation: Elizabeth Robinson“intended for singing”
The “Psalmen Davids” and the art of consolation Heinrich Schütz was fortunate. In the years around 1600 the number of portents of the end of the world increased. And this would also naturally affect the Dresden court, even if it sometimes seemed to be in a world of its own. Constellations of stars, curious events, cometary impacts – all these happenings were rapidly broadcast through the mass media of the Baroque – pamphlets and articles. And the more frequently there were signs giving cause for concern, the nearer the predicted end approached. In the mid-16th century, 2046 was marked out as the end. But at the time when Schütz took up his post in Dresden, the year 1625 was regarded as the point in time when the ‘last trumpet’ would sound. None of this happened – as stated, he was fortunate,...

„zum singen gemeint“
Die Psalmen Davids und die Kunst des Zuspruchs Heinrich Schütz hatte Glück. In den Jahren um 1600 mehrten sich die Anzeichen für den Weltuntergang. Und der würde natürlich auch den Dresdner Hof betreffen, auch wenn dieser mitunter als eigener Kosmos erscheinen mochte. Sternenkonstellationen, kuriose Ereignisse, Kometeneinschläge – alle diese Geschehnisse verbreiteten sich rasant über die Massenmedien des Barock: Flugblätter und Sonderdrucke. Und je häufiger die besorgniserregenden Zeichen, desto näher rückte das prognostizierte Ende. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts war noch 2046 als Ende markiert. Zu jener Zeit, als Schütz in Dresden sein Amt antrat, galt das Jahr 1625 als Zeitpunkt, an dem die ‚letzte Posaune‘ erklingen würde. All das trat nicht ein – wie gesagt, er hatte Glück, aber eine Prognose bewahrheitete...

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
Ps 110
Translation: King James Bible
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.

Der Herr sprach zu meinem Herren: „Setze dich zu meiner Rechten, bis ich deine Feinde zum Schemel deiner Füße lege.“ Der Herr wird das Zepter deines Reiches senden aus Zion: „Herrsche unter deinen Feinden!“ Nach deinem Sieg wird dir dein Volk williglich opfern im heilgen Schmuck. Deine Kinder werden dir geboren wie der Tau aus der Morgenröte. Der Herr hat geschworen und wird ihn nicht gereuen: „Du bist ein Priester ewiglich nach der Weise Melchisedech.“ Der Herr zu deiner Rechten wird zuschmeißen die Könige zur Zeit seines Zornes. Er wird richten unter den Heiden, er wird große Schlacht tun, er wird zuschmeißen das Haupt über große Lande. Er wird trinken vom Bache auf dem Wege, darum wird er das Haupt emporheben.
Ps 110
Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und auch dem Heilgen Geiste, wie es war im Anfang, jetzt und immerdar und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. Amen....

Composer
Heinrich Schütz
| 1585-1672Heinrich 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
