30 Bach-Choräle für vierstimmigen Chor/ Bach chorales for four-part choir-If we look back to the beginning of the Protestant Church over 500 years ago beyond its central theological and historical aspects then we must consider the priceless cultural and artistic impulses which emanated from the Reformation. It is tothis among other things to which we owe the musical wealth of the Protestant Church with its rich treasure of sacred hymns for which the great Reformer himself laid the cornerstone. Of the 30 hymns which he contributed most of them are stillpart of this treasure today. 200 years after Luther artistic preoccupation with the Protestant hymn reached its zenith in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Extraordinarily artistic arrangements stand in contrast to simple yet anything other than just rudimentary settings offour-part chorales for the congregation which even today touch and attract people more than anything else. The present volume contains 30 such Bach chorales based on hymns by Martin Luther in the versions of the texts contained in the GermanProtestant Hymnbook.

Oratorium-Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829. He integrated chorale settings into St. Paul for which he was accused by his contemporaries of making a stylistic break using an element unsuitable to church music. In spite of these reservations during Mendelssohn’s lifetime St. Paul was one of his most popular works which received numerous performances throughout Europe. Robert Schuman praised the “inextinguishable color of the instrumentation” and the “brilliant play with all the forms of composition.” He described it as a “jewel of the present.”

Passions-Oratorium

Offertorium de Beata Maria Virgine-In the 17th and 18th centuries Salzburg where Leopold Mozart was Assistant Court Music Director was a center for polyphonic Offertory settings and multimovement offertory concerti which developed into a main genre of Catholic liturgical music in the south German region.The Salzburg Cathedral seems an obvious choice which the solemn orchestration with trumpets and timpani would support.
