He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Der Herr ist mein Hirt; mir wird nichts mangeln. Er weidet mich auf einer günen Auen und führet mich zum frischen Wasser. Er erquicket meine Seele; er führtet mich auf rechter Straße um seines Namens willen. Und ob ich schon wandelt im finsteren Tal des Todes, fürcht ich kein Unglück; denn du bist bei mir, dein Stecken und Stab trösten mich. Du bereitest vor mir einen Tisch gegen meine Feinde. Du salbest mein Haupt mit Öle, und schenkest mir voll ein. Gutes und Barmherzigkeit werden mir folgen mein Leben lang, und werde bleiben im Haus des Herren immerdar.

Text from the CD Carus 83.255
Oliver Geisler
Translation: Elizabeth Robinson“intended for singing”
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“
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

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
