About the album

The Lutheran Reformation abandoned most of the many feasts which the medieval church dedicated to saints, but it kept St. Johns Day, St. Michael’s Day, and the three Marian Feasts: Annunciation (March 25), Visitation (July 2), and Purification (February 2).

The general importance of these feast days was underscored by the music written for them. The cantatas Bach wrote for the three Marian Feasts not only show magnificent orchestration but also a particular degree of elaboration. Hence, the overall design of these cantatas is noticeably different from that of those written for the ordinary Sundays of the Epiphany and Trinity seasons. As the Feast of Annunciation fell into the time of Lent, a five-week period without polyphonic music that was strictly observed in many areas of Lutheran Germany, the cantatas written for this occasion played as special role. For on March 25 they interrupted the musically silent period that ended with the performance of the Passion at the Good Friday vespers and the subsequent cantata for Easter Sunday, respectively.

The cantata “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern“ BWV 1 for the Feast of Annunciation dates from 1725 and is based on the hymn by Philipp Nicolai (1599) that makes use of an older melody.

The chorale cantata „Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin“ BWV 125 was composed about two months earlier and performed at the Feast of Purification in 1725. Its text is based on the hymn by Martin Luther (1524).

The cantata “Komm, du süße Todesstunde” BWV 161 was originally written for the 16th Sunday after Trinity and probably received its first performance in the Weimar castle church on September 27, 1716. Bach revived the cantata in Leipzig and, apparently after 1735 altered its liturgical function as well by performing it on the Feast of Purification.
Fantastische en verfijnde Bachcantates voor de Mariafeesten
De Lutherse Reformatie schafte de meeste feesten die de middeleeuwse kerk aan heiligen opdroeg af, maar behield Sint Jansdag, Sint Michaelsdag, en de drie Mariafeesten: Annunciatie (25 maart) Maria-Visitatie (2 juli) en Maria-Lichtmis (2 februari).

Het algemene belang van deze feestdagen werd benadrukt door de muziek die ervoor werd geschreven. De cantates die Bach voor de drie Mariafeesten componeerde tonen niet alleen een fantastische orkestratie maar ook een bijzondere mate van verfijnde uitwerking. Om die reden verschilt de algehele vormgeving van deze cantates van degene die gecomponeerd werden voor de gewone zondagen van het Driekoningen- en Trinitatisseizoen.

Aangezien Annunciatie binnen de Vastentijd valt, een periode van vijf weken zonder polyfone muziek die in het Lutherse Duitsland streng werd nageleefd, speelde de cantates die voor deze gelegenheid gecomponeerd werden een bijzondere rol. Op 25 maart onderbroken cantates als Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern BWV 1 uit 1725 namelijk een muzikaal stille periode.

De koraalcantate Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin BWV 125, gebaseerd op de gelijknamige hymne van Luther, werd twee maanden eerder gecomponeerd en uitgevoerd tijdens Maria-Lichtmis.

Komm du süße Todesstunde BWV 161 werd oorspronkelijk gecomponeerd voor de zestiende zondag na Trinitatis en waarschijnlijk voor het eerst uitgevoerd in de Schlosskirche in Weimar op 27 september 1716. Bach blies in Leipzig nieuw leven in het werk en veranderde na 1735 de functie van het werk door het tijdens Maria-Lichtmis uit te voeren.
Die Kantaten, die Bach für die drei Marienfeste schrieb, weisen eine besonders ausführliche Ausarbeitung auf. Inhalt: Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern BWV 1 / Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin BWV 125 / Komm, du süße Todesstunde BWV 161

Die lutherische Reformation gab die meisten der vielen Feste auf, die die mittelalterliche Kirche den Heiligen widmete, aber sie behielt den Johannistag, den Michaelistag und die drei Marienfeste bei: Verkündigung (25. März), Heimsuchung (2. Juli) und Reinigung (2. Februar).

Die allgemeine Bedeutung dieser Festtage wurde durch die für sie geschriebene Musik unterstrichen. Die Kantaten, die Bach für die drei Marienfeste schrieb, weisen nicht nur eine prächtige Orchestrierung, sondern auch einen besonderen Grad der Ausarbeitung auf. Damit unterscheiden sich diese Kantaten in ihrer Gesamtgestaltung deutlich von denen, die für die gewöhnlichen Sonntage der Epiphanias- und Trinitatiszeit geschrieben wurden. Da das Fest der Verkündigung in die Fastenzeit fiel, eine fünfwöchige Periode ohne mehrstimmige Musik, die in vielen Gegenden des lutherischen Deutschlands streng eingehalten wurde, spielten die für diesen Anlass geschriebenen Kantaten eine besondere Rolle. Denn sie unterbrachen am 25. März die musikalisch stille Zeit, die mit der Aufführung der Passion in der Karfreitagsvesper bzw. der anschließenden Kantate zum Ostersonntag endete.

Biber. The recording of both of these works won the Cannes Classical Award for the best performance of 17th/18th century choral music. For its rare combination of textural clarity and interpretative flexibility, the Amsterdam Baroque Choir is considered among today’s most outstanding choirs. In 1994 Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir embarked upon the most ambitious recording project of the last decades: the integral recording of Bach’s secular and sacred cantatas. For this extraordinary project Koopman and his ensemble received the Deutsche Schallplatten-Preis Echo Klassik. Next to the CD recordings three books have been edited and published by Ton Koopman and the musicologist Christoph Wolff and a series of six documentaries was produced and broadcasted by various TV stations.
Alongside Bach’s music the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir has recorded all major baroque and classical works. Major recognitions include the Gramophone Award, Diapason d'Or, 10-Repertoire, Stern des Monats-Fono Forum, the Prix Hector Berlioz and two Edison Awards. In 2008 the ensemble and Ton Koopman have been honoured with the prestigious BBC Award. Since March 2003 “Antoine Marchand”, a new sub-label of Challenge Classics, took over the release of Koopman’s new recordings and among many others has published 22 CD boxes of the Bach Cantatas, a new recording of the St. Matthew Passion (on CD and DVD) and St. Markus Passion of J.S. Bach (DVD), live recorded in Milan, as well as the first seven volumes of the Buxtehude Opera-Omnia Edition. Ton Koopman and the ABO & ABC are regular guests at the major concert halls of Europe, the USA and Japan. In the 2008/09 season they will tour extensively in Europe (Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Milan, Cologne, Dresden, Düsseldorf etc) and in Far East with concerts in Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo.

Composer(s)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
