This contemporary work from Daniel Brewbaker is a jubilant shout of joy at the miracle of being alive. Based on poems by St. Thomas Aquinas and Rabia, their ideas resonate with each other across the centuries, and extend to our own. The music alternates between exhilarating elation and quiet amazement, concluding with an exuberant affirmation of the self as the central expression of the divine choir of life. From his cantata Living the Divine. Duration: 2:30.

Psalm texts inspired Mendelssohn throughout his composing career. In 1837 Robert Schumann judged Mendelssohn's setting of Psalm 42 as the highest level that he has achieved as a composer of church music, indeed the highest level that modern church music has ever reached. With this arrangement of Mendelssohn's cantata Wie der Hirsch schreit (As the hart longs) smaller choirs and choirs with more limited resources of space or finance can now perform this popular work. The original symphonic wind and brass forces have been reduced from 15 to 5 wind and brass forces. All the vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the original version, so that the vocal scores and chorus scores of that version can be used. Can be performed by smaller choirs with smaller instrumental forces Usable with the vocal scores and choral scores from the original version. Complete performance material available on loan. carus plus: the work is also available in carus music, the choir app, and the practice CD series Carus Choir Coach. Score available separately - see item CA.4007200.

Language: German. Text: von Swieten, Gottfried.
The primary source on which the new Carus Urtext edition is based is the first edition of the score from 1800. Contrary to normal custom, Haydn published the score himself in order to avoid unauthorized publications and to present an optimally designed edition from an authentic hand. With this original document, which has been compared with additional relevant sources, Carus now offers a musical text based on the latest musicological findings. The critical report provides all of the important data concerning the edition in a compact form suitable for practical use [practical performance]. A detailed foreword offers insight into the genesis of the work, its construction and reception and illuminates compositional and theological and spiritual-historical aspects. In addition to the score, with singing texts in two languages (G. van Swieten's original German and English text), in the interest of legibility, vocal and choral scores will be offered in two separate editions (German or English). This work is now available in carus music, the choir app. Score available separately - see item CA.5199000.

Bach composed BWV 135 as the fourth cantata in the second annual cycle of Leipzig cantatas. The hymn Ach Herr, mich armen Sunder was written in the 16th century to the tune of Herzlich tut mich verlangen. The unidentified Leipzig librettist of the 2nd cycle of chorale cantatas made free use of this hymn as the basis of an exemplary cantata text. Score available separately - see item CA.3113500.
