    Die Worte der Einsetzung des heiligen Abendmahls

    When our Lord was betrayed, that same night
    Lord Jesus Christ took bread, gave thanks to God,
    brake it, and said, giving it to his disciples:
    Take of me and eat this,
    my body’s flesh, which for you is broken here:
    do this, that I be remembered.
    And in the same manner took he then the cup,
    after he had supped,
    saying, as he gave the cup to them:
    Take ye now the cup which I give you,
    and drink ye of it:
    For this is my blood
    of the new testament,
    which for you is shed
    an bringeth forgiveness to sinners.
    Do this, whenever ye drink,
    that I be remembered.

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.239

    Oliver Geisler
    Translation: Liz Robinson

    For “practical use”: Introduction

    A glance at music history always reveals more than just music. For music can also be regarded as a mirror or the essence of a whole culture. Indeed, even more importantly, studying and listening to music means learning something about societies and people. How valuable, therefore, are those works which are all too readily labelled “Gebrauchsmusik” (functional music) and consigned to oblivion in favor of the compositional high points of an era. Such works offer a glimpse into the workshops, laboratories, studies and living rooms of a society. Churches, castles and reception rooms are beautiful and imposing, but they also dazzle – because they are always designed to impress. Functional music is concerned with the everyday and with “real life.” And precisely because of this, such works are still performed today, even if they at first appear less grand.

    Of the Zwölf geistliche Gesänge it is said that Schütz “sketched them in his spare time.” Evidently

    Zum „nützlichen Gebrauch“: Einführung

    Ein Blick in die Musikgeschichte lässt einen immer mehr erkennen als nur Musik. Denn Musik kann auch als Spiegel oder Bündelung von Kultur insgesamt begriffen werden. Ja mehr noch: Musik zu betrachten und zu hören bedeutet, etwas über Gesellschaften zu erfahren und über Menschen. Wie wertvoll sind da jene Werke, die man als sogenannte „Gebrauchsmusik“ allzu gern zugunsten des kompositorischen Höhenkamms einer Epoche in die Versenkung schiebt! Kann man mit ihnen doch einen Blick in die Werkstätten, Experimentierstuben, Arbeits- und Wohnzimmer einer Gesellschaft erhaschen. Kirchen, Schlösser und festliche Säle sind schön und repräsentativ, sie blenden aber auch – weil sie immer schon auf Repräsentation angelegt sind. Gebrauchsmusiken haben etwas mit Alltag und dem „wahren Leben“ zu tun. Nicht zuletzt deshalb werden solche Werke auch heute noch gebraucht, auch wenn sie zunächst weniger glanzvoll

    The glad birth, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in the words of the holy Evangelists’ description, who wrote it down..

    The birth of Jesus

    Evangelist (Tenore)

    And behold, it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world enroll for taxing. (And this taxing was the first; being made at the time when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And ev’ryone went that he might be taxed, unto the city of his birth. Among them there went up ­Joseph being of Galilee, and went from Nazareth, to Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the lineage and house of David:) that he might enroll for taxing, and with him Mary, his own espoused wife, being great with child. And, while they yet tarried there, it was time that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him round in swaddling, and laid him in a lowly manger, for they could not find a room for them in the inn. And, in the same country where shepherds abiding in the fields, and keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the Lord’s own angel came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

    Es begab sich aber zu der selbigen Zeit, dass ein Gebot von dem Kaiser Augusto ausging, dass alle Welt geschätzet würde, und diese Schätzung war die erste und geschah zu der Zeit, da Cyrenius Landpfleger in Syrien war, und jedermann ging, dass er sich schätzen ließe, ein jeglicher in seine Stadt. Da machte sich auch auf Joseph aus Galiläa, aus der Stadt Nazareth, in das jüdische Land zu der Stadt Davids, die da heißet Bethlehem, darum dass er von dem Hause und Geschlechte Davids war, auf dass er sich schätzen ließe mit Maria, seinem vertrauten Weibe, die war schwanger. Und als sie daselbst waren, kam die Zeit, dass sie gebären sollte, und sie gebar ihren ersten Sohn und wickelt’ ihn in Windeln und legte ihn in eine Krippe, denn sie hatten sonst keinen Raum in der Herberge.

    The Passion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as we find it written in Holy Scripture in the Gospel of Saint John.

    Jesus is taken prisoner

    Evangelist:
    When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them:
    Jesus:

  • 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
  • DRESDNER KAMMERCHOR Radiant, transparent, homogeneous and flexible: the Dresdner Kammerchor is internationally esteemed for its unique culture of sonority. Its artistic director Hans-Christoph Rademann has shaped this distinctive sound since the choir was founded in 1985, leading it to worldwide renown. The choir’s diverse repertoire has its foundation in Baroque music, with a special focus on Saxon court music. As a cultural ambassador for Dresden and Saxony, the choir keeps the musical heritage of its homeland alive and makes it known to an international audience. A prominent example of this is the world’s first complete Heinrich Schütz recording, which was concluded in 2019, published by Carus-Verlag, and has won several awards: among others, the St. John Passion was awarded the Annual Prize of the German Record Critics in 2016, and the last installment of the edition containing “Psalms and Peace Music” was honored with the Opus Klassik 2020. The choir has also rediscovered, performed anew and recorded on CD numerous works by other Central German masters such as Johann Adolf Hasse, Johann David Heinichen and Jan Dismas Zelenka in collaboration with the Dresden Baroque Orchestra and other musical partners. In addition to symphonic choral works from the Classical and Romantic periods, a further repertoire focus is on challenging a cappella works of the 19th and 20th centuries. This includes music by Johannes Brahms, Max Reger, Olivier Messiaen, Francis Poulenc, Arnold Schoenberg and Herman Berlinski. For years, the Dresdner Kammerchor has been intensively dedicated to modern and contemporary music, with world premieres, first performances and its own commissioned works. This commitment is deepened further by diverse music education and youth projects. In 2009, Hans-Christoph Rademann and the Dresdner Kammerchor initiated the Dresden Choral Workshop for New Music, which took place for the 4th time in 2018. For its services to contemporary choral music, the choir was awarded a Sponsorship Prize by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The Dresdner Kammerchor gives guest performances in centers of music and at festivals throughout Europe. Tours have taken the singers to Israel, India, Taiwan, China, Mexico, South America, South Africa and the USA. Musical partners to date have included René Jacobs, Sir Roger Norrington, Ádám Fischer, Václav Luks, Stefan Parkman, Trevor Pinnock, Christoph Prégardien, Jos van Immerseel, Herbert Blomstedt, Omer Meir Wellber, Christian Thielemann, Riccardo Chailly and Reinhard Goebel, as well as the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Anima Eterna Brugge, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. The choir regularly collaborates with the Wroc"naw Baroque Orchestra. By means of a cooperation with the Dresden University of Music, the Dresdner Kammerchor keeps the connection to its roots alive.

  • Since 2003 a group comprising mainly gamba players has come together under the name The Sirius Viols, and depending on the project and repertoire, they are joined by other instrumentalists and sing - ers to try out various musical ideas or approaches under the non-direction of Hille Perl. The participants are either current or former students of Hille Perl, together with the colleagues she most admires from related disciplines. The ensemble’s repertoire is restricted to music which is suited to gambas and their specific aura, or under certain circumstances in combination with other instruments or singers; that is to say, virtually all of the gamba repertoire. After the first extremely successful CD was issued, entitled In darkness let me dwell, with music by John Dowland, Sirius Viols released a CD of Christmas music in November 2011 – a search for peace and calm in these hectic times: Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich. Personal details
  • Instrumenta Musica is dedicated to t he performance of the instrumental repertoire from the late Renaissance to Baroque eras, as well as large ensemble sacred and secular music. The ensemble uses historical instruments and was founded in 2004 by Ercole Nisini during his studies at the Conservatory of Early Music at Trossingen. Since then Instrumenta Musica performs with the founding members and in different constellations under the direction of Ercole Nisini or in co-operation with vocal ensembles such as ensemble officium, the Dresdner Kammerchor, and the Kammerchor of the Frauenkirche Dresden at such festivals and venues as the Dresdner Frauenkirche, the Niedersachsische Musiktage, Schwarzwald-Musikfestival, Rheingau-Festival, Skalholt Summer Concerts (Iceland), the Heinrich Schutz Musikfest, the Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte, the WDR Funkhauskonzerte, Klosterstiftung Michaelstein, and the Tage Alter Musik Regensburg. Instrumenta Musica has recorded 9 CDs and has performed in live broadcasts of the WDR, Deutschlandradio, and Swiss’s SFR. Personal details
  • One of the distinguishing features of the Dresdner Barockorchester, founded in 1991, is the fact that its membership includes both early music specialists and orchestral musicians drawn from the Dresdner Staatskapelle and the Dresdner Philharmonie. Working together with baroque instruments, with their specific clarity of sound and articulation they achieve a variegated, eloquent music-making in which their different areas of musical experience are combined. The musicians are united in their desire to follow the splendid example set by the Dresden Court Orchestra of Augustus the Strong. The heritage of that era is the music of such conductors and instrumentalists of the Court Orchestra as Hasse, Heinichen, Zelenka, Quantz and Pisendel, whose works have a prominent place in the repertoire of the Dresdner Barockorchester. This repertoire extends from the end of the 17th century through Mozart. The Dresdner Barockorchester works closely with the Dresdner Kammerchor and its conductor Hans- Christoph Rademann. Personal details
  • Conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann is an immensely versatile artist with a broad repertoire who devotes himself with equal passion and expertise both to the performance and rediscovery of early music and to the first performances and cultivation of Contemporary Music.

Since 2013, Hans-Christoph Rademann has been the academy director of the International Bach Academy Stuttgart. He regularly collaborates with leading choirs and ensembles of the international music scene. From 1999 to 2004 he was chief conductor of the NDR Choir and from 2007 to 2015 chief conductor of the RIAS Chamber Choir.

Hans-Christoph Rademann has been awarded prizes and honors for his artistic work, including the Johann Walter Plaque of the Saxon Music Council (2014), the Saxon Constitutional Medal (2008), the Sponsorship Prize as well as the Art Prize of the state capital Dresden (1994 and 2014 respectively). He received the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik several times for his numerous CD recordings (most recently in 2016), as well as the Grand Prix du Disque (2002), the Diapason d’Or (2006 & 2011), the CHOC de l’année 2011 and the Best Baroque Vocal Award 2014. In 2016 he was awarded the European Church Music Prize of the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd. His exemplary interpretation and recording of the complete works of Heinrich Schütz with the Dresdner Kammerchor in the Stuttgart Carus-Verlag, which was completed in 2019, was awarded the newly endowed Heinrich Schütz Prize as well as the OPUS KLASSIK 2020 in the same year.

  • Ratio, Emotio, Physis – reason, emotion and physics – to be able to bring these three human aspects together in singing, that is the great challenge and the profound joy in Felix Schwandtke’s life. Being the son of a mathematician and an engineer, he has been shaped by analytical thinking; music provided a way for him to relate this to emotion, and to explore, with joy, the developing interaction. In the process, early music became an important catalyst, and his creative work lead him to renowned ensembles all across Europe, bringing with it many new musical encounters. Among these, the ones who have made the most impact are Hans-Christph Rademann, Ludger Rémy and Lars Ulrik Mortensen, as well as the director and Baroque dancer Milo Pablo Momm. Personal details

  • Hille Perl, gamba-player, has played music as long as she can remember. For her, music is the foremost means of communication between human beings, more precise and intense and unmistakable than language, of greater emotional significance than any other experience besides love. She travels the world, playing concerts and recording CDs with different groups or performing as a soloist, mostly in the field of 17th and 18th century music but also letting the music take her to places she never even dreamed of. With passion she teaches her students at the Hochschule der Kunste in Bremen, Germany, everything she knows about music, playing the gamba, and how not to be jealous if someone plays better than you. People of the world: relax… Personal details
