Christoph Graupner gehort zu jenen Komponisten der Bach-Zeit, die einerseits reprasentativ fur ihre Epoche waren, andererseits aber von der Musikgeschichtsschreibung gerade wegen ihrer anscheinend unspezifischen Leistungen eher pauschal behandelt wurden. Die eigentlich uberraschend lange Liste der Literatur uber Graupner und die grosse Zahl von Neuausgaben seiner Werke kann uber diesen Tatbestand kaum hinwegtauschen. Denn das Eigentumliche seiner Musik und seiner Personlichkeit durfte kaum erschlossen sein und wird sicher nur bei genauem und in Detailfragen geduldigem Nachfragen und Hinsehen erkennbar.Seiner Herkunft nach Sachse, hat er Zeit seines Lebens die Verbindung zum thuringisch-sachsischen Raum aufrechterhalten. Gleichwohl reichte der Ort seines langjahrigen Wirkens raumlich nahe genug an andere Musikzentren, allen voran vielleicht Mannheim, heran, um seine Bruckenfunktion zwischen mitteldeutscher und westdeutscher Musiktradition erkennbar werden zu lassen.Diese Aufsatzsammlung stellt einen Beitrag zur Erforschung einer im mittelrheinischen Gebiet sicher pragenden Erscheinung dar. Sie versucht, die einzelnen Werkgattungen Graupners in gesonderten Betrachtungen musikgeschichtlich zu wurdigen und zugleich Impulse fur die weitere Erforschung der Musiklandschaft zwischen franzosisch-hofischem und mitteldeutsch-burgerlichem Einflussbereich zu geben.

Ein barocker Landesfurst mit hochfliegenden kunstlerischen Planen und ein junger, ambitionierter Opernkomponist - das waren die produktiven Voraussetzungen von Christoph Graupners Engagement als Hofkapellmeister nach Darmstadt im Jahr 1709. Der Traum von der Oper war zehn Jahre spater ausgetraumt, aber Graupner blieb in der hessischen Residenz und widmete sich anderen musikalischen Aufgaben am Hof. Wichtigstes Experimentierfeld der spaten Jahre wurden seine Sinfonien - ein so interessanter wie eigenwilliger Beitrag zur seinerzeit jungen Gattung.

Seit dem hohen Mittelalter, als ritterliche Turniere und der Minnegesang in Blute standen, bis heute, da serielle und aleatorische Kompositionen vor einem internationalen Publikum erklingen, war Darmstadt zu allen Zeiten eine Statte lebendiger Musikpflege. Dieser Band bildet den 1. Teil einer umfassenden Darstellung der Musikgeschichte der Stadt bis 1790, dem Jahr, in der der musikbegeisterte und -begabte Erbprinz Ludwig, ein Freund und Verehrer Goethes, die Regierung ubernahm.Wahrend fur die Zeit von 1567 bis 1790 die Ergebnisse archivalischer Untersuchungen von Ernst Pasque (1853/54) und Willibald Nagel (1900) uberpruft, eingearbeitet und in vielen Punkten erganzt werden konnten, ist die gesamte Fruhzeit der Musik im stadtischen Bereich, der Kirchen- und Schulmusik sowie der Musik am Hofe der Grafen von Katzenelnbogen und der hessischen Landgrafen estmals dargestellt. Die Blutezeit der Darmstadter Musik unter W.C. Briegel (1626-1712) und Chr. Graupner (1683-1760) ist eingehend gewurdigt.Die Autorin setzt in diesem Band, der gleichermassen der allgemeinen Musikwissenschaft wie der Lokalgeschichte dienen will, der kulturellen Vergangenheit ihrer Heimatstadt ein wurdiges Darmstadt.

Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) is one of the many composers who laid the groundwork for their careers as pupils at the St. Thomas school in Leipzig. After subsequently studying law in Leipzig he was initially employed as a harpsichordist at the Hamburg Opera, which was followed by his appointment to the position of Kapellmeister at the court of Darmstadt. He was selected for the position of Thomaskantor in 1723, but his patron in Darmstadt refused to release him. Graupner's more than 1,400 cantatas occupy a central position in the history of the Protestant church cantata. Here, for the first time, in this six-volume thematic catalog his entire opus is presented and elucidated by means of detailed incipits for each movement of each work, including all of the relevant information, such as scoring, history of the sources, dating and origin of the text. This Graupner catalog is also an indispensable reference work for understanding the music of the Bach era. Score available separately - see item CA.2402900.

Given that hardly any printed collections of new keyboard music were offered in Germany in the first decades of the 18th century, Christoph Graupner's eight Partien auf das Clavier , published in 1718, marked a new beginning. The suites are arranged according to an ascending sequence of notes and generally follow the scheme Allemande - Courante - Sarabande - Gigue, but this order is repeatedly broken, also by movements that are rather unusual for a suite. The focus is on the characteristics of the individual movements and the joy of playing with figures typical for the movement or instrument, as well as on challenging playing techniques, such as hand changes in runs (passaggi), wide-ranging chord breaks and the use of the thumb, which was not very common at the time. In this respect, Graupner's suites offer not so much a formal advancement, but rather an expansion of the demands of playing technique. Although several CD recordings of these suites already exist, this volume constitutes the first modern Urtext edition. Complementing her scholarly activities, the editor Genevieve Soly provides important impulses on performance practice in the preface, especially on the execution of the passaggi and the ornamentation, thus opening up the view on her activity as a harpsichordist.

At the time of his death in 1760, Christoph Graupner - a contemporary of Bach who supplied the Landgrave residing in Darmstadt with music for five decades from 1709 onwards - left a vast oeuvre which has hardly been explored to date: innumerable instrumental works and a massive body of more than 1400 sacred cantatas. The first volume of the Thematic Catalog of the sacred works has now been published. It contains the cantatas for the festive cycle of Christmas from the 1st Advent Sunday to the 5th Sunday of Epiphany. Extensive incipits of all the cantata movements fill a large part of the book which also includes indexes for, amongst others, chorale melodies and biblical quotations.

Born in Saxony and originally trained at the St. Thomas school in Leipzig, Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) celebrated great success at the Hamburg Opera on the Gansemarkt. In 1709 he was lured away to a position in Darmstadt, where he remained for the rest of his life. The sacred composition Gott will mich auch probieren (GWV 1121/14) was written during the early years of his tenure as Music Director at the Court of the Landgraves. In it he attempted to make the genre of the motet useful for church music in Darmstadt through innovative design and varied structure. The present chorale motet is a markedly charming and catchy piece of choral music (easy to mid-level difficulty) which manages totally without solo arias and recitatives and through its compact dimensions can excellently be suited for use in today's worship services.

Christoph Graupner (1683-1760), a pupil of Schelle and Kuhnau among others, is considered to be a typical composer of his time. Following the gallant, yet still being committed to the scholarly style, he created works of substance which were open to all new trends. Delicate motivic work, sequencing and imitation are characteristic of his compositional style.This new edition of the Trio Sonata in B minor for flauto traverso, violin and basso continuo is based on the fair autograph copy kept at the Universitaets- und Landesbibliothek of Darmstadt.
