Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750<br />
St. John Passion / Johannespassion BWV 245 (text in English and German)<br />
Urtext / traditional version & version IV (1749)*<br />
Soli T (Evangelist), B (Jesus), SATB, Coro SATB, 2 Fl, 2 Ob, Vga, 2 Vl, Va, Bc / 120 min<br />
First critical Urtext edition of version IV (1749)*, ed. by Peter Wollny, in conjunction<br />
with the Bach-Archiv, Leipzig, 2004<br />
The St. John Passion ranks among the great vocal works from Bach’s Leipzig years. In<br />
contrast to his other large-scale choral works, however, Bach never gave this work a<br />
definitive final form. Rather, for every performance he made numerous changes. All<br />
previous editions of the St. John Passion have combined readings from various layers of<br />
sources. The wish often expressed by conductors to perform an authentic version is<br />
made possible for the first time with the present edition in this fourth and final version<br />
which was performed under Bach’s direction in 1749. At the same time, with the aid of<br />
the appendix it is possible to perform the work in the traditional “mixed version.”<br />

Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (text in English and German). Urtext<br />
Soli SATB, Coro SATB, 2 Fl, 2 Ob (Obda), 2 Eh, 3 Tr, Timp, 2 Cor, 2 Vl, Va, Bc<br />
(ed. K. Hofmann)<br />
With the new edition of the Christmas Oratorio in the framework of the Stuttgart Bach<br />
Editions, Carus presents a scholarly edition for performance. The bases for this publication<br />
are Bach’s autograph score and the original parts. The conductor’s score contains in<br />
an appendix a concise Critical Report which gives information about the sources and<br />
their readings, and, when necessary these are discussed in more detail, especially in<br />
questions of articulation, how it varies from previous editions, and how it provides new,<br />
differing solutions. The fine, linen-bound volume is supplemented by a study score,<br />
choral score, vocal score and the orchestral parts. In the orchestral parts the coordination<br />
between Sprechgesang and the instrumental accompaniment in the recitatives is<br />
made easier through the addition of a vocal staff above the instrumental part; cue notes<br />
showing the end of the recitative are printed in those parts which rest during a secco<br />
recitative, thus assuring their entrance in the following movement.<br />

Coro SSATB, 2 Vl, Vne, 5 Vga, Bc (ed. Th. Schlage)<br />
63 min<br />
For Passion in 1680 Dieterich Buxtehude composed his largest work in the style of an oratorio,<br />
the cantata cycle Membra Jesu nostri and he dedicated it to his friend, the Swedish<br />
Court Music Director, Gustav Düben. The feet, knees, hands, side, chest, heart and face of<br />
the crucified Christ are interpreted allegorically.in each of the seven separate cantatas which,<br />
in principle, follow the scheme – instrumental introduction – choral movement with biblical<br />
texts – vocal soli (aria) with a sacred text from the Middle Ages – repetition of the choral<br />
movement. the feet, knees, hands, side, chest, heart and face of the crucified Christ are<br />
interpreted allegorically.<br />

The interludes are composed transitions which can be performed between the seven movements of Buxtedhude's cantata<br />
Membra Jesu nostri, thus resulting in the cantata sequence designed as a large, connected musical-dramatic whole.<br />

sition at that time are represented in this work: the then modern aria, richly decorated<br />
chorales, and free adaptation of biblical passages. If Wacht! Euch zum Streit<br />
gefasset macht was composed by Buxtehude, this work belongs in the context of the Lübeck Abendmusiken. The libretti of<br />
some of the oratorios composed by Buxtehude for those occasions have survived, but the music has been lost. This work may<br />
be the only extant oratorio which demonstrates its composer’s versatility in a field akin to opera.<br />

George Frideric Handel (1685–1759)<br />
Messiah HWV 56 (text in English and German). Urtext<br />
Soli SATB, Coro S(S)ATB, 2 Ob, 2 Fg, 2 Tr, Timp, 2 Vl, Va, Bc / 150 min<br />
(ed. Ton Koopman & Jan Siemons)<br />
George Frideric Handel is considered England’s first and foremost composer of oratorios.<br />
Above all, the Messiah is regarded as the epitome of sacred music and in<br />
German-speaking countries it is also one of the most often performed works in the<br />
genre. The version of the Messiah which is most often performed today is a combination<br />
of various versions. Consequently, the present critical edition by Ton Koopman<br />
contains all of the surviving alternative versions of the solo movements. These<br />
are printed consecutively instead of being banished to an appendix. A concordance<br />
makes it possible to assign these movements to those various performances of the<br />
work conducted by Handel between the Dublin premiere in 1742 and the London<br />
concerts which took place up to 1759. The score is printed in English and German.<br />
In accordance with the wishes voiced by many choral conductors and singers, the<br />
vocal score will be available in separate English and German versions.<br />
– The traditional, most well-known version is available in the vocal score<br />
– The complete movement variants, contained in the score and parts, and are available in a separate vocal score (soloists)<br />
– Improved readability through two separate vocal scores (in English or German)<br />
– Suggestions for embellishment, based on the most recent findings of performance practice and recommended by Ton Koopman<br />
– Vocal scores available for choirs at a reasonable price<br />

Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day HWV 76 (text in English). Urtext<br />
Soli ST, Coro SATB, Fl, 2 Ob, 2 Tr, Timp, 2 Vl, Va, Bc<br />
50 min<br />
During the late 17th century each year English musicians celebrated on 13 November the<br />
feast of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, with special concerts and church services.<br />
With his Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day Handel rejuvenated the tradition of this festival on St.<br />
Cecilia’s Day in 1732. This so-called “little” St. Cecilia Ode is a musically joyful glorification<br />
of the power of music: two festive choruses frame five charming arias in each of<br />
which a solo instrument is used for contrasting effect in the baroque manner. Handel allows<br />
the soloists a wealth of freedom to improvise and display their skills. This is especially<br />
the case for the organ, which was his favorite instrument.<br />

Gloria RV 589 (text in Latin). Urtext<br />
Soli SSA, Coro SATB, Ob, Tr, 2 Vl, Va, Vc/Cb, Bc, organ / 30 min<br />
The revival of Antonio Vivaldi’s music in the 20th century went hand in hand with the new<br />
discovery of a large amount of his sacred vocal music which ranged in repertoire from largescale<br />
compositions for the Mass and Vespers to biblical oratorios and solo motets. The first revivals<br />
of Vivaldi’s church music, including the Gloria RV 589, were received almost as a<br />
sensation. They clearly show that, just in the field of church music he attained some of his<br />
greatest artistic achievements.<br />

8 Joseph Haydn<br />

Joseph Haydn (1732–1809)<br />
Missa in Angustiis, “Lord Nelson Mass” in D Hob. XXII:11 (1798) (text in Latin)<br />
Soli SATB, Coro SATB, 3 Ctr, Timp, 2 Vl, Va, Bc, [Fl, 2 Ob, 2, Clt, Fg, 2 Cor] / 40 min<br />
This important late Haydn Mass belongs to the category of the Missa solemnis, intended for use<br />
at a lavishly appointed High Mass. Written in 1798, this is the third of the “six late masses,”<br />
each of which was composed to celebrate the name day in a particular year of Princess Maria<br />
Josepha Hermenegilda Esterházy. Haydn’s own title, Mass in times of affliction referred to the<br />
threat of invasion by Napoleon’s army, also allud ed to in the last movement of the Missa in tempore<br />
belli two years earlier. In many respects Haydn continued his symphonic practices in this<br />
late mass: the shorter liturgical sections of the Ordinarium Missae are linked in tonality and form,<br />
impressive structures are fashioned, and the vocal solos are no longer isolated arias. The unauthentic<br />
name Nelson Mass is of doubtful origin, but it certainly refers to the British admiral<br />
Nelson, who on August 1798 defeated Napoleon’s fleet at the Battle of the Nile.<br />

infection led to the collapse and death of the composer following a short illness. Mozart left his<br />
wife in considerable debt. Constanze therefore turned to Mozart’s friends, asking them to complete<br />
the fragment. After two failed attempts, the task passed to Mozart’s pupil Franz Xaver Süßmayr, who completed the<br />
Requiem in the form known today, using working materials that are no longer extant, and perhaps verbal instructions from<br />
the composer. Today the Süßmayr version is still the most well known, and it is doubtless the one with the closest historical<br />
ties to Mozart. Süßmayr’s version of the Requiem has been published in a new edition which is true to the original sources.<br />

The attacks against Süßmayr’s completion began in 1825, when the so-called “Requiem Controversy”<br />
erupted. Over the last decade a number of musicians have attempted to cleanse the<br />
Requiem of the deficiencies introduced by Süßmayr. The completion published here takes into account<br />
the tendencies of the newer versions (such as revised instrumentation, or recomposition<br />
of some parts). At this the character, texture, voice leading, continuity and structure of Mozart’s<br />
music was observed. Details on each separate movement will be found in the Critical Report.<br />

Between 1814 and 1828 Franz Schubert composed six Latin masses. Whereas the early masses<br />
were conceived more for practical performance in Schubert’s home town of Lichtenthal, because<br />
of their length, their level of technical difficulty, as well as the almost symphonic design, the later<br />
settings present a greater challenge. Actually, Schubert’s Mass in A flat major was composed in<br />
light of his ambitions to obtain the post of Assistant Music Director in Vienna. But Emperor<br />
Franz I preferred masses which were short and easy to perform – something which cannot be<br />
claimed for this Mass.<br />

The complete masses by Schubert<br />
The Carus program of publications will encompass Schubert’s complete sacred compositions<br />
and it is intended to emphasize the wide range of his works in this area. Many of the smaller<br />
liturgical compositions are published here for the first time in separate editions. What is to be<br />
discovered is a fascinating oeuvre, rooted in the ”stile antico” and in the compositions of the<br />
Viennese classical masters, but whose exquisite lyricism and harmonic subtlety reveal a typically<br />
Schubertian world of expression.<br />

With its tonal language of subjective avowal, the first of Beethoven’s two masses opens up new<br />
worlds of expression for the liturgical texts of the Mass which are expressly modern and point<br />
towards the future. Not to be considered a preliminary work to the Missa solemnis, it is an entirely<br />
independent work which set standards for the further development of settings of the Mass<br />
in the 19th century. Its newness, of which the composer himself was fully aware (“I do not speak<br />
postcard Carus 40.389/40<br />
gladly of my Mass, or of myself, but I do believe that I have treated the text in a manner in<br />
which only few have treated it.”), paves the way to an hitherto unknown, contemporary avenue<br />
of faith which today is still current. Carus presents this important work of church music history in a new critical edition<br />
by the Beethoven expert Ernst Herttrich.<br />

(ed. Ernst Hettrich)<br />
“… my greatest and most accomplished work” – with no lesser words Beethoven himself expressed his own high regard for<br />
the Missa solemnis. From the very beginning this mass was especially close to his heart; hardly any other work occupied him<br />
so long and so intensively. Research in the fields of theology, liturgics and the history of church music from Gregorian chant<br />
via Palestrina to Bach and Handel, up to the relevant works of his direct predecessors accompanied the composition of this<br />
work. Accordingly, although of a great stylistic unity, the Missa solemnis shows that it is a compendium of the entire liturgical,<br />
sacred, religious music composed up until that time.<br />
Following the publication of Beethoven’s Mass in C major op. 86, Carus now presents the Missa solemnis in a new Urtext<br />
edition by the Beethoven scholar, Ernst Herttrich. The edition contains a foreword in German, English and French, as well as a<br />
Critical Report in compact form with all of the pertinent information concerning the situation of the sources, the edition and<br />

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847)<br />
The three Oratorios<br />
Few nineteenth-century oratorios have attained such a firm place in the musical life of our<br />
times as those of Mendelssohn. With their timeless biblical settings, they combine elements of<br />
romanticism with the mighty choral style of Handel and the meditative chorales of Bach.<br />

Mendelssohn composed St. Paul, his first oratorio, under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion<br />
in 1829. Robert Schuman praised the “inextinguishable color of the instrumentation” and the “brilliant play with all the<br />
forms of composition.” He described it as a “jewel of the present.”<br />

Cherubini’s Requiem in C minor for mixed choir (without vocal soloists) and orchestra, which is presented here in a critical<br />

within a short time it became well known. Musicians such as Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms held it in high esteem<br />
because of the work’s superior compositional construction, orchestration, mastery of form and the balance in proportion between<br />
text and music.<br />

Next to the Stabat Mater, the Petite Messe solennelle of 1863 is Rossini’s second extensive<br />
sacred composition. Ostensibly, the work was, in a way, an occasional piece (what great work<br />
was not?), written for the dedication of a private chapel for the once well-to-do Parisian nobility.<br />
This explains the reduced instrumental accompaniment for two pianos and harmonium. Of<br />
course this instrumental garb, reminiscent of decent, elevated salon music, produces an unmistakable<br />
timbre which through its typical Rossini rhythm obtains an addedflair.<br />

Since its first complete performance in 1868 in the Cathedral of Bremen, Brahms’s Ein<br />
deutsches Requiem is, without question, one of the key works in the history of the oratorio.<br />
The reputation of the work is based not only on its unusually concentrated musical structure,<br />
but also on the original conception of the text: Brahms assembled important passages from<br />
both the Old and New Testaments in Luther’s translation so that thoughts on sorrow and consolation<br />
would obviously refer to one another. In contrast to many other oratorios of the 19th<br />
century Brahms places the choir, the voice of the community, in the center of this interdenominational<br />
celebration of the dead.<br />

Dvorák’s D major Mass serves in its liturgical context to express the worship of God. The Mass<br />
is characterized by lyrical meditation rather than dramatic immediacy.<br />

The Requiem of Gabriel Fauré is undoubtedly the most important opus among the sacred works<br />
of this French master. Beginning with the first performances during the composer’s lifetime, it is<br />
one of those works whose popularity has never waned. In the absence of an autograph score, a<br />
new edition of this work posed a challenge in two important respects: on the one hand, to present<br />
an edition faithful to the often contradictory sources, and on the other, to render a clear and<br />
meaningful musical text of the work.<br />

Carus presents the first critical edition of Puccini’s only mass. Based on a comparison with the<br />
autograph score, numerous errors were corrected which had been present in all previous editions<br />
of this mass. In preparing this edition, Puccini’s additions to the instrumentation in the<br />
postcard Carus 40.348/10 Benedictus and his new version of the tenor aria “Gratias agimus” from the Gloria have both<br />
been taken into consideration. The newer version of the tenor aria changes the character of the<br />
piece to such a great degree, that it has been included separately as an appendix in this edition.<br />
The doubling of the brass and string parts, the addition of two French horns and a harp, as well as the addition of an instrumental<br />
postlude which consists of a repetition in the violoncelli of the main section of the aria leads one to believe that possibly<br />
Puccini considered having this Aria performed outside the context of the Mass as a separate concertante piece.<br />

Concert tip:<br />
Perform the Messa di Gloria<br />
together with the rather unkown<br />
Mottetto per San Paolino by<br />
Puccini (27.403, 15 min). With the<br />
exception of the lack of a solo<br />
tenor in the piece, the scoring is<br />
identical with this one in the<br />
Messa, for this reason it would<br />
seem only natural to perform these<br />
two works together.
