The six collections of Vierstimmige Motetten und Arien published by Johann Adam Hiller offer a selection of motets, mostly from the second half of the 18th century. They show us the products of a new age of achievement in which the motet was again able to flourish after this genre had led only a shadowlike existence for more than a century. The editor of those collections, Johann Adam Hiller, was active as a composer of Singspie, editor of various musical periodicals, leader of the Gewandhaus concerts, University Director of Music, musical director of the Neukirche, and finally, from 1789, Thomaskantor in Leipzig. Upon Hiller's assumption of the office of Thomaskantor the older motets were replaced in Leipzig church services by contemporary compositions. Printed texts which have been preserved show that Hiller's collections were used widely. A Critical Report from the editor, Uwe Wolf, with additional information concerning the motets and their composers, will be published to cover all the collections.

In his six-volume collection Motetten und Chorarien (1779) Johann Adam Hiller compiled the works of his fellow composers in six volumes and published them himself. The third volume of this collection contains compositions of the master motet composers, Homilius and Rolle, as well as works by Graun, Caldara, Fehre, Tag and Hiller. The motet by Caldara, a Latin composition for three lower voices and basso continuo, is in many respects out of place.

Dieses Libretto lehnt sich engstmoglich an Theodor Storms Novelle vom Schimmelreiter an.Der originale Wortlaut des Stormschen Textes wurde weitestgehend, wo irgend moglich, beibehalten; auch altere, regional gebundene Ausdrucke sind unverandert ubernommen worden.Die eingearbeiteten Gedichte sind - mit einer Ausnahme - gleichfalls von Theodor Storm; lediglich Nebel, stiller Nebel (20. Szene: Der Tod der Trin Jans) stammt von Christian Morgenstern, wurde aber wegen der atmospharischen Stimmigkeit hier verwendet.Wenn die individuelle Zeichnung einzelner Charaktere (Ole Peters und Trin Jans) nicht ganz mit der von Theodor Storms vorgegebenen ubereinstimmt, sodeshalb, weil in diesem Zusammenhang eine scharfere Konturierung und Akzentuierung vonnoten war.Das Stuck gliedert sich folgendermassen:I. Teil: 1. Szene: Der Fluch - 13. Szene: Nachfolgefragen Zwischengesang: Sieben JahreII. Teil: 14. Szene: Plane - Letzte Szene: Das EndeEs ist fur pausenlose Auffuhrung konzepiert. Falls doch eine Pause gemacht werden sollte, so ist sie an das Ende des I. Teils und vor den Zwischengesang: Sieben Jahre zu legen.

'Our theatre is not like other theatres we count on your participation, Ladies and Gentlemen!' These words from the prologue of the theatre singer are typical of our flea market of dreams. The audience shall be encouraged to think, dream, fantasize. (Wilfried Hiller in the programme of the world premiere)Without explicitly meaning to, the flea market and amusement racket theatre of Hiller and Ende has to be understood as alienation from the great opera in general and for children in particular. Here, imagination finds old and new stories, here is the home of the theatre, here is the place where the 'extravaganza music of Hiller' can be heard. Here is not just melancholy and remembrance, sorrow for things past, lost. Here, dawdling also has another meaning: silence, standstill, leisure, time - for dreaming. Jumble, dawdling - these are things that do not go well with the rush and urge for action of our time. But they suit the theatre, the music for children, the children's music theatre of Hiller and Ende.' (from: Gunter Reiss, Trodelmarkt der Traume []; in Uben & Musizieren, 2/1991, p. 19ff).

Johann Adam Hiller's Psalm 100 can be considered as the highpoint of his church music. The work was known during the lifetime of the composer far beyond Germany, even to the Baltic States. Now the first printed edition of this beautifully sounding psalm setting is available. The five-movement composition is suited both for concert as well as liturgical purposes. Even today this composition of the St. Thomas Cantor and founder of the Leipziger Gewandhaus concert series will not fail to miss its mark. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4094300.
