The title in the original German is “Die Sieben Worte unseres lieben Erlösers und Seeligmachers Jesu Christi so Er am Stamm des Heil: Creutzes gesprochen, ganz beweglich gesetzt von Her Heinrich Schütz”. The compilation of the <i>Seven Words from the Cross</i> from the four gospels was frequently set as devotional music over the centuries by different composers. Heinrich Schütz’s setting can best be attributed to the category of ‘Historia’ or ‘Histories’. Framed by a five-part chorale arrangement (“Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund”) and an instrumental Symphonia, the last section of the Passion story (also in a compilation from the Gospels) is sung by different voices, with the Seven Words of Jesus given a string accompaniment (we are immediately reminded of Bach!). The text of the Evangelist is divided between different vocal ranges, and sometimes even very effectively given to the tutti ensemble. It is a moving, intensive, yet peaceful setting. Its similarity to the later Passion oratorio probably contributed to the fact that the Seven Last Words played a central role in the rediscovery of the works of Heinrich Schütz in the 19th century. https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/heinrich-schuetz-the-seven-last-words-from-the-cross-2047800.html https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/charles-gounod-les-sept-paroles-du-christ-sur-la-croix-2331150.html Thu, 18 Dec 2025 06:36:48 +0100 <img src='https://www.carusmedia.com/images-intern/medien//20/2331150/2331150u.jpg' border=0 align='left' hspace=5><div>Spoken during his final hours, the “seven words” have been taken as a profound insight into Jesus‘s final suffering on the cross. These words, or rather statements, have been set by numerous composers in different languages. Charles Gounod’s setting of <i>The Seven Words of Christ on the Cross</i> returns to the Latin text and explicitly recalls the music of Palestrina, but with an added nineteenth-century harmonic twist. The edition of this a cappella work comes with a piano reduction for rehearsal purposes.</div><div><br></div> https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/charles-gounod-les-sept-paroles-du-christ-sur-la-croix-2331150.html https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/franz-liszt-via-crucis-4017300.html Sun, 31 May 2026 23:30:56 +0200 <img src='https://www.carusmedia.com/images-intern/medien//40/4017300/4017300u.jpg' border=0 align='left' hspace=5> https://www.carus-verlag.com/en/music-scores-and-recordings/franz-liszt-via-crucis-4017300.html
