PROGRAM<br />

Cantata 80, Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott<br />

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)<br />

I. Chorus<br />

Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott,<br />

ein gute Wehr und Waffen;<br />

er hilft uns frei aus aller Not,<br />

die uns itzt hat betroffen.<br />

Der alte böse Feind,<br />

mit Ernst ers itzt meint,<br />

groß Macht und viel List<br />

sein grausam Rüstung ist,<br />

auf Erd ist nicht seinsgleichen.<br />

A firm fortress is our God,<br />

a good bulwark and weapon;<br />

he sets us free from all the misery<br />

that has now affected us.<br />

The old evil foe:<br />

serious is his intent,<br />

great power and much cunning<br />

are his cruel armament;<br />

on earth is not his equal.<br />

Words: Martin Luther (1483-1546)<br />

II. Aria & Chorale Samantha Puckett, alto; Timothy Gunter, bass-baritone<br />

[Bass] Alles, was von Gott geboren,<br />

ist zum Siegen auserkoren.<br />

[Alto] Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan,<br />

wir sind gar bald verloren.<br />

Es streit’ vor uns der rechte Mann,<br />

den Gott selbst hat erkoren.<br />

Wer bei Christi Blutpanier<br />

in der Taufe Treu geschworen,<br />

siegt in Christo für und für.<br />

Fragst du, wer er ist?<br />

Er heißt Jesus Christ,<br />

der Herre Zebaoth,<br />

und ist kein andrer Gott,<br />

das Feld muß er behalten.<br />

Alles, was von Gott geboren,<br />

ist zum Siegen auserkoren.<br />

Everyone who is born of God<br />

is chosen for victory.<br />

With our own power is nothing done,<br />

we are very soon lost.<br />

The just man fights for us,<br />

whom God himself has chosen.<br />

He who, by Christ’s bloodstained banner,<br />

has sworn loyalty through baptism<br />

triumphs in Christ forevermore.<br />

Do you ask who he is?<br />

He is called Jesus Christ,<br />

the Lord of Sabaoth,<br />

and there is no other God;<br />

he will retain the [battle]field.<br />

Everyone who is born of God<br />

is chosen for victory.<br />

Words: Author of aria unknown; chorale by Martin Luther (1483-1546)<br />

da Jesus sich<br />

mit seinem Blute dir verschriebe,<br />

womit er dich<br />

zum Kriege wider Satans Heer und wider<br />

welt und Sünde<br />

geworben hat!<br />

Gib nicht in deiner Seele<br />

dem Satan und den Lastern statt!<br />

Laß nicht dein Herz,<br />

den Himmel Gottes auf der Erden,<br />

zur Wüßte werden!<br />

Bereue deine Schuld mit Schmerz,<br />

daß Christi Geist mit dir sich fest verbinde!<br />

Ponder well, child of God, the great love<br />

that Jesus to you<br />

has pledged with his blood,<br />

with which he,<br />

for war against Satan’s army and against<br />

the world and sin,<br />

has enlisted you!<br />

Yield not your soul<br />

to Satan and vices!<br />

Let not your heart,<br />

God’s heaven on earth,<br />

become like a desert!<br />

that Christ’s spirit might firmly unite with you!<br />

V. Chorale<br />

Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär<br />

und wollten uns verschlingen,<br />

so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,<br />

es soll uns doch gelingen.<br />

Der Fürst dieser Welt,<br />

ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen.<br />

Lord Jesus, my longing!<br />

Drive the world and Satan out<br />

and let your image shine anew in me!<br />

Away, despicable horror of sin!<br />

Come into the house of my heart,<br />

Lord Jesus, my longing!<br />

Words: Author unknown<br />

Megan Brunning, soprano<br />

And if the world were full of devils<br />

who wanted to devour us,<br />

we would not fear too much,<br />

for we shall still succeed.<br />

The prince of this world,<br />

how sourly he positions himself,<br />

yet he can do nothing to us,<br />

which means, he is judged;<br />

one little word can fell him.<br />

Words: Martin Luther (1483-1546)<br />

VI. Recitative Ben Thomas, tenor<br />

So stehe dann bei Christi blutgefärbten Fahne,<br />

O Seele, fest<br />

und glaube, daß dein Haupt dich nicht verläßt,<br />

ja, daß seine Sieg<br />

auch dir den Weg zu deiner Krone bahne!<br />

Tritt freudig an den Krieg!<br />

Wirst du nur Gottes Wort<br />

so hören als bewahren,<br />

so wird der Feind gezwungen auszufahren,<br />

dein Heiland bleibt dein Hort!<br />

So stand then by Christ’s bloodstained banner,<br />

O soul, firmly,<br />

and trust that your leader does not abandon you—<br />

yea, that his victory<br />

will also prepare for you the way to your crown!<br />

Step joyfully into war!<br />

If you will only God’s word<br />

hear and preserve,<br />

then the foe will be forced to flee,<br />

and your Savior will remain your shield!<br />

Words: Author unknown<br />

VII. Aria Samantha Puckett, alto; Ben Thomas, tenor<br />

Wie selig sind doch die,<br />

die Gott im Munde tragen,<br />

doch selger ist das Herz,<br />

das ihn im Glauben trägt!<br />

Es bleibet unbesiegt<br />

und kann die Feinde schlagen<br />

und wird zuletzt gekrönt,<br />

wenn es den Tod erlegt.<br />

VIII: Chorale<br />

Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn<br />

und kein’ Dank dazu haben.<br />

Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan<br />

mit seinem Geist und Gaben.<br />

Nehmen sie uns den Leib,<br />

Gut, Ehr, Kind und Weib,<br />

laß fahren dahin,<br />

sie habens kein’ Gewinn;<br />

das Reich muß uns doch bleiben.<br />

How blessed are those<br />

who carry God in their mouths;<br />

yet more blessed is the heart<br />

that holds him in faith [belief]!<br />

It remains unconquered<br />

and can strike at foes<br />

and will at the last be crowned<br />

when it puts down [defeats] death.<br />

Words: Author unknown<br />

The Word they shall allow to stand<br />

and receive no thanks for it.<br />

He is surely with us on the plain [battlefield],<br />

along with his Spirit and its gifts.<br />

If they take from us our body [life],<br />

goods, honor, child and wife,<br />

let them depart;<br />

they still have nothing won;<br />

the Kingdom shall remain for us.<br />

Words: Martin Luther (1483-1546)<br />

PROGRAM NOTES<br />

The cantata Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 80) was created for use at the Feast of the Reformation, which<br />

Lutherans traditionally celebrate on October 31 as one of the lesser festivals. The version of the cantata we<br />

hear tonight represents an accretion of compositional layers, thus complicating an easy, clear understanding<br />

of the cantata’s genesis, provenance, and final shape. The earliest known version (known as BWV 80a) dates<br />

to 1715 in Weimar, only the text of which survives, based on a text by Salomo Franck (1659–1725). Shortly<br />

after Bach moved to Leipzig in 1723 to assume duties as Kantor of the Thomasschule of the Thomaskirche,<br />

which included music instruction, a new setting of Franck’s text was made. Scholarly opinion differs as to<br />

when. This version (minus the opening chorus) was likely the one heard at a performance in 1730. The<br />

opening chorus “Ein feste Burg” was not added until 1734 or 1735. Otherwise, the loss of sources prevents<br />

us from learning much regarding the method by which the other movements were borrowed or parodied,<br />

compositional practices that were wide spread in the early eighteenth century.<br />

Fig. 1: Martin Luther, Ein feste Burg<br />

The cantata consists of six movements and two short recitatives. Bach organizes each movement around<br />

Martin Luther’s chorale melody Ein feste Burg (1527-1529). Easily one of the most recognizable chorales in<br />

German Lutheranism, Luther may have sung it as he entered the Diet of Worms on April 16, 1521. The<br />

cantata opens with a majestic polyphonic motet-chorus. The oboes carry the original hymn tune. The<br />

continuo echoes this line in canon. Within this framework, Bach inserts a complex polyphonic chorus in four<br />

parts, often with fugal imitation of the main contours of Luther’s chorale. The second movement features a<br />

bass aria, which we can date back to Bach’s second period in Weimar (1708-1717), featuring the soprano<br />

soloist, who offers a highly decorated version of the hymn in counterpoint to the Bass. In the subsequent<br />

aria, the soprano soloist, underpinned by continuo alone, brings a sense of sudden calm and intimacy to the<br />

text “Come into the house of my heart.” By contrast, the chorale in the following movement returns us to the<br />

theme of victory over the devil, sung in unison by the choir. Strings, oboe, and two oboes d’amore offer an<br />

intricate, frenetic counterpoint underneath. The next two segments refer back to the earlier Weimar cantata,<br />

on which most of the present work is based. In the recitative-arioso, the tenor receives some highly florid<br />

passagework on the text “your Savior will remain your shield.” Following the arioso is the lovely duet for<br />

tenor, alto, oboe d’amore, strings, and continuo, whose text illustrates a state of grace. The cantata ends with<br />

a Bach’s harmonization of Luther’s Chorale, likely sung by Bach’s congregation in Leipzig.<br />

Robert Torre<br />

Although audiences think “oratorio” when the name George Frideric Händel comes up, the driving force<br />

behind his whole career was opera, and specifically opera in the Italian style. To be sure, the oratorios for<br />

which Handel is known – Messiah, Israel in Egypt, Saul, and many others – were in many ways distinct from the<br />

operas, but they were an evolution from them, born of the same impulse to compose dramas in music.<br />

At the age of 18, Handel (set free by his father’s death from his filial obligation to study law) left his<br />

native city of Halle and traveled 200 miles to Hamburg, the center of operatic life in Germany. He was hired<br />

as a violinist and harpsichordist for the Hamburg Opera, and there he composed his first two operas. While<br />

working in Hamburg he also met the last Medici Duke of Florence, who invited Handel to move to Italy.<br />

There he spent time in Florence and Venice, where he composed and produced some operas, but lived<br />

primarily in Rome, where performances of opera were forbidden.<br />

In Rome, in 1707 he composed his highly dramatic setting of Psalm 110, Dixit Dominus, for a Vespers<br />

service at the church of Santa Maria in Montesanto. The Psalm has seven verses, which Handel set in nine


movements. Verse 4 is divided into two movements, and the concluding movement is “Glory to the<br />

Father…” which is traditionally appended to each Psalm in a Vesper service. The chorus plays a significant,<br />

even dominant, role in the composition, unlike the operas of the time. This characteristic reappeared thirty<br />

years later when Handel re-invented himself as a composer of oratorios.<br />

The musical idiom of Dixit Dominus contains many moments that foreshadow the more familiar idiom of<br />

Messiah, particularly the figures that are used for the word “Hallelujah” in the later work. Much of the rest of<br />

the Dixit, including the vocal lines, resemble the instrumental music of Corelli (Handel’s friend while he was<br />

in Rome, and probably the concertmaster for the first performance of Dixit Dominus). There are also<br />

moments in the first, fourth, and sixth movements that resemble the instrumental and choral writing of<br />

Vivaldi, who was music director for the Ospedale della pietà in Venice at the time that Handel was there<br />

producing his opera Agrippina.<br />

Daniel Pyle<br />

Although we regard Handel today as one of the great exponents of German and English music, his standing<br />

in London society at the time he composed Messiah in 1741 burgeoned en passé. Born in Halle, Germany,<br />

Handel, a brilliant organist and violinist, moved to Italy in his early twenties to study composition, particularly<br />

Italian opera. He achieved major success there in vocal music but especially with the Venetian opera Agrippina<br />

(1707). These early triumphs in Italy resulted in a commission for a new Italian opera for London, his entrée<br />

to the British Isles. Handel’s Rinaldo (1711) resulted, which is arguably the first Italian serious opera for the<br />

London stage. Previous attempts at Italian opera (often in the form of a pasticcio wherein arias by different<br />

composers would be interpolated into a preexisting operatic subject) had largely been unsuccessful. Rinaldo<br />

triumphed, and yielded further commissions and collaborations, including Teseo, Amadigi, Giulio Cesare,<br />

Radamisto, and Alcina. By 1727 Parliament naturalized Handel as a British citizen. Throughout the late 1730s,<br />

however, Handel’s popularity, and indeed the popularity of Italian serious opera, began to wane. The<br />

premiere in 1728 of Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera, an English-language ballad opera, renewed interest in exploring<br />

the possibilities of English-language vocal music and popular culture, whereas previously Italian opera had<br />

reigned supreme.<br />

Handel focused on the oratorio form from the late 1730s on. Oratorios were primarily Lenten sacred<br />

dramas whose narratives derive from the Old and New Testaments. They were often performed without<br />

costume. Unlike the Italian oratorio whose form emphasized the succession of arias and recitatives, the<br />

English oratorio cultivated primarily by Handel included arias, recitatives, choruses (sometimes for double<br />

choir, as in Solomon), and occasional instrumental interludes (the Funeral March from Saul). With a string of<br />

important works including Saul and Israel in Egypt (1739), Handel’s new musical venture proved for the<br />

moment a brilliant choice.<br />

By 1741, however, Handel’s career appeared once again in trouble, as London audiences began turning to<br />

newer composers and fads. His finances dwindled to dangerous levels, and he was reportedly ill. The same<br />

year the Duke of Devonshire, the Lord Lieutenant of Dublin, visited him to request a new work, which<br />

would aid several charities in Dublin. Handel drew on scriptural texts chosen by Charles Jennings from the<br />

King James Bible and the Book of Psalms as printed in the Book of Common Prayer. Jennings wrote of this new<br />

libretto, which he called Messiah, “I hope [Handel] will lay out his whole Genius & Skill upon it, that the<br />

Composition may excel [sic] all his former Compositions, as the Subject excells [sic] every other subject. The<br />

Subject is Messiah.” Handel finished the commission in just twenty-four days, a speed which, though<br />

impressive, was not uncommon.<br />

Handel sailed to Dublin in November 1741 for the premiere. His presence there created such a buzz that<br />

the Dublin Journal announced that at the premiere “The Stewards of the Charitable Musical Society request the<br />

Favour of the Ladies not to come with Hoops [i.e., hoop skirts] this Day to the Musick-Hall in Fishamble<br />

Street. The Gentlemen are desired to come without their Swords, as it will greatly encrease [sic] the Charity,<br />

by making Room for more company.” Messiah opened on April 13, 1742, causing a great stir among Dublin<br />

audiences. The Dublin Journal reported, “It gave universal Satisfaction to all present; and was allowed by the<br />

greatest Judges to be the finest Composition of Musick that ever was heard.”<br />

Jennings and Handel organized Messiah in three parts. Each one represents a series of commentaries on<br />

the three periods of Jesus’ life: Nativity, Passion, and Resurrection. “Worthy is the Lamb,” which we hear<br />

tonight, concludes Part III. Scored for chorus, two trumpets, drums, oboes, strings, and continuo, “Worthy is<br />

the Lamb” is a musical triptych on the glorification of the messianic victim. The opening largo,<br />

complemented by the full orchestra and chorus, declare “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” In the middle<br />

section the choir sings “Blessing and honour, glory and pow’r be unto him” in fugal style. A second, more<br />

complex fugue, initiated in the bass line, concludes with “Amen.”<br />

freshness and verve, and for its delightful, convincing performances of instrumental works, sacred vocal<br />

music, and dance. <strong>Orchestra</strong> members are life-long specialists in <strong>Baroque</strong> and early music; many serve on the<br />

faculty of leading music schools across the United States, and gather from around the country for each<br />

concert. ABO musicians frequently perform within a large network of other early music ensembles and<br />

chamber orchestras throughout the nation and across the world.<br />

leadership at the Cathedral’s 11:15 Sunday Eucharist. The choir tours regularly, and has accepted invitations<br />

to sing in residence for a week each at St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, and Canterbury Cathedral in August<br />

Eucharists; and other services as assigned. During the summer of 2005, several members of Schola<br />

concerts around the U.S. as the opportunity arises.<br />

The Cathedral Choir England Pilgrimage 2013<br />

St. Paul’s Cathedral<br />

August 5-11<br />

Canterbury Cathedral<br />

August 12-18<br />

In August of 2013, the Cathedral Choir will make a pilgrimage to England, where the choir has been<br />

invited to serve as the choir-in-residence for a week each at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and<br />

Canterbury Cathedral, singing Evensong each weekday afternoon and a full day of Sunday services<br />

at each cathedral. This provides the choir the opportunity to experience the centuries-old tradition<br />

of daily worship and music in these magnificent places, and to give witness to local congregations<br />

and tourists from all over the world to the exceptional musical worship traditions of the American<br />

branch of the Anglican Communion.
