The writer Charles Marie René Leconte born on the French island of La Réunion published his literary works under the nom de plume Leconte de Lisle (the Count of the island). His poem Nell a poetic vow of eternal fidelity to the beloved was written in 1852 and set to music by Gabriel Fauré in 1878. Long vocal phrases unfold over continuous sixteenth-note figurations in the piano which combine emphatic depictions of nature and affirmations of love both in text and music. These art songs were originally composed not for chamber choir but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted them to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by alarger ensemble without losing the any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD Kennst du das Land ... (Carus 83.495).

E minor - WAB 27

BuxWV 119 - 65-Although a large proportion of Buxtehude’s vocal works are sacred compositions he also composed for secular occasions. In 1680 he composed the wedding aria Klinget für Freuden ihr Lärmen-Klarinen BuxWV 119 for the marriage of the Swedish King Charles XI to the Danish Princess Ulrika Eleonora. At the same time the Peace of Lund concluded in 1679 marking the end of an almost five-year-long war between Denmark-Norway and Sweden was celebrated. The five-verse wedding poem is sung by two sopranos and bass and the basso continuo has two violins and two trumpets as accompanying instruments in the alternating instrumental ritornelli. Whilst the first and fourth verses expressjoy about the peace settlement between Denmark and Sweden verses two and three are predominantly concerned with the bridal couple. Finally in the last verse God is asked for his blessing both for the peace settlement and for the royal couple. The later sacred parody of the work for the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ New Year’s Day as the aria Klinget mit Freuden ihr klaren Klarinen BuxWV 65 cannot be more precisely dated. Now the trumpets proclaim to the Christian congregation about Jesus and the “brightly shining light” of the divine word.

Francis of Assisi the famous merchant's son and later founder of a religious order has served as a source of inspiration from the most varied perspectives and Damijan Mocnik has added to this tradition. The Slovenian composer and choral director composed a cantata in 2013 on the 25th anniversary of the Diocesan Grammar School in Ljubljana based on the text of the famous Canticle of the Sun and building on this a complete setting of the ordinary of the mass as well (2014-16).

From Johann Sebastian Bach's Music Library-This Missa in G minor is the only surviving work in this genre by Johann Hugo von Wilderer: his output as Kapellmeister at the Electoral Palatinate court which resided in Mannheim from 1720 onwards was mainly devoted to opera. The three-part Kyrie the through-composed Gloria and the partly obbligato instrumental writing show the influence of the early Neapolitan mass style. The music-historic significance of the Missa is firstly that it is an important example of the church music performed around 1700 at the Electoral Palatinate court but above all that Bach evidently used it as a source of inspiration for the Kyrie of the Mass in B minor as shown for example in theform of the Adagio introduction of the Kyrie I in both works.
