Mass in G minor
Kyrie-Gloria-Messe (Lutherische Messe) BWV 235, 0Entstehungszeit vermutlich späte Leipziger Jahre
Despite their high musical qualities the Lutheran Masses, as they are known, are often overshadowed by other church works by Bach. Like the other Missae breves, the Mass in G minor, with its six-movement structure, consists largely of parodies from cantatas BWV 72, 102, and 187. The extensive choral sections of the Kyrie, and particularly the lively Gloria, require a high level of engagement from all parts to achieve a thrilling and forward-driving effect. With Bach’s Missa in g BWV 235 the coach offers not only the notes, but also the sung part. The coach is based on individual recorded parts sung by the Kammerchor Stuttgart, making practising even more enjoyable!

Translation (abridged): Elizabeth RobinsonJohann Sebastian Bach’s four Lutheran Masses (BWV 233-236) were composed towards the end of the 1730s and are so-called because they comprise just Kyrie and Gloria, as was customary in Protestant practice of the time. They are almost entirely parodies of cantata movements. With the Mass in G minor, Bach appears to have started with a plan to make full use of his cantata Es wartet alles auf dich (BWV 187) of 1726. Here, he used all the movements which were suitable for parody treatment in the mass. The opening chorus “Es wartet alles auf dich” became the final chorus with the text “Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen”. The three solo arias in the cantata recur in the mass as inner movements (3–5) in the Gloria section. For the Kyrie and the opening movement of the Gloria, Bach needed two further choral pieces, and for these he drew on the opening choruses of cantatas BWV 102 and BWV 72, also written in 1726.
It goes almost without saying that Bach’s reworking is not limited to the underlay of the new text and associated modifications of the vocal parts. In two cases, in

Klaus Hofmann
Johann Sebastian Bachs gegen Ende der 1730er Jahre entstandene vier Lutherischen Messen (BWV 233-236) – so genannt, weil sie sich nach protestantischer Praxis auf Kyrie und Gloria beschränken – bestehen fast vollständig aus Parodien von Kantatensätzen. Bei der Messe in g-Moll scheint Bach von dem Plan ausgegangen zu sein, seine Kantate Es wartet alles auf dich (BWV 187) aus dem Jahre 1726 möglichst ausgiebig zu nutzen. So hat er hier alle zur Parodierung überhaupt geeigneten Sätze (d. h. alles außer den beiden Rezitativen und dem Schlusschoral) in die Messe übergeführt. Der Eingangschor „Es wartet alles auf dich“ wurde zum Schlusschor mit dem Text „Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen“. Die drei Soloarien der Kantate kehren in der Messe als Binnensätze des Gloria-Teils wieder. Für das Kyrie und den Anfangssatz des Gloria brauchte Bach noch zwei Chorstücke und griff hierfür auf die Eingangschöre der ebenfalls 1726 entstandenen Kantaten Herr, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben (BWV 102) und Alles nur nach Gottes Willen (BWV 72)

Conductor
Frieder Bernius
| 1947Frieder Bernius’s work has earned great worldwide recognition. He is in demand internationally as a conductor and as a teacher. His principal artistic collaborators are the ensembles he founded himself, the Kammerchor Stuttgart, the Barockorchester Stuttgart, the Hofkapelle Stuttgart and the Klassische Philharmonie Stuttgart. As a guest conductor, he has collaborated repeatedly with, for example, the SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester and the Streicherakademie Bozen. Great stylistic versatility is Frieder Bernius’s hallmark. Whether he conducts vocal works by Monteverdi, Bach, Händel, Mozart, Beethoven, Fauré and Ligeti, stage music by Mendelssohn or symphonies by Haydn, Burgmüller and Schubert, his work always aims for a sound that is at once unmistakably personal and at the same time oriented towards the original period sound ideal. He devotes himself equally to the rediscovery of 18th century operas and to first performances of contemporary compositions. He is particularly interested in the musical history of southwestern Germany. Carus-Verlag has awarded Frieder Bernius a Golden CD for his complete recording of the sacred music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The award was presented to him during the German Choir Festival in Stuttgart 2016. The sale of over 250,000 recordings, which has been acclaimed with a number of awards, has made a not insignificant contribution to what today is the obvious presence of Mendelssohn's complete œuvre in the concert repertoire.
