Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme

SKU: HL.49044087

ISBN 9790001196963. German.

With Carl Friedrich Zelter's motet Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Hermann Max, editor of the Choral Treasury series, has uncovered a real treasure. The three-verse text of the motet for mixed choir (SATB) and basso continuo was written by Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock who kept close to the Advent song of the same name by Philipp Nicolai. During Zelter's lifetime, the motet enjoyed great popularity. And quite rightly so: For the music teacher and friend of Goethe turned out to be a composer with an extraordinary sense of tone. An introductory choral movement is followed by a captivating bass aria which can be optionally sung by all basses of the choir. The piece culminates in an elaborate virtuoso fugue with an interwoven cantus firmus in the bass. A demanding, yet highly rewarding rarity in church music!

This excellent arrangement by Robert van Beringen is of the well-known German chorale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, taken from the oratorio Paulus (St. Paul) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847). Although accredited to Mendelssohn it is thought the melody was in fact written by the pastor and poet Philipp Nicolai in 1599. Robert van Beringenâ??s arrangement perfectly captures the biblical story of St. Paul.

Robert van Beringen bewerkte het bekende koraal Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme uit Paulus, het eerste oratorium van Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Mendelssohn liet zich graag door de muziek van Johann Sebastian Bach inspireren.Pas vijfentwintig jaar oud zette hij het dramatische bijbelverhaal over Paulus zeer overtuigend op muziek. Robert van Beringen maakte hiervan een bekoorlijke versie voor fanfareorkest.

Robert van Beringen bearbeitete den bekannten Choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme aus Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys erstem Oratorium Paulus. Der erst 25-jährige Mendelssohn, der sich gerne von Johann Sebastian Bachs Musik inspirieren lie�, setzte die dramatische biblische Geschichte von Paulus sehr überzeugend in Musik um. Auch in der Fassung für Fanfareorchester von Robert van Beringen bestechend gut!

Paulus (1834-1836) est le premier oratorio de Mendelssohn. Il raconte la vie de Saint Paul. L'ouverture est une fantaisie sur le célèbre choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Rarement donné, lâ??oratorio Paulus est pourtant significatif du romantisme allemand. Lâ??arrangement de Robert van Beringen nous fait redécouvrir ce chef-dâ??Å?uvre oublié.

Paulus (1834-1836), il primo oratorio di Mendelssohn, narra la vita di San Paolo. Lâ??ouverture è una fantasia sul celebre corale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Lâ??oratorio Paulus è rappresentativo del romanticismo tedesco. Lâ??arrangiamento di Robert van Beringen ci fa riscoprire questo capolavoro spesso dimenticato.
