About this concert

With stunningly beautiful voices, intense performances and moving interpretations, Stephan MacLeod and Gli Angeli Genève guarantee musical experiences with maximum impact. We predict vocal brilliance during this performance of sections of Israelis Brünnlein: spiritual songs by Johann Hermann Schein that bring together the traditional motet form with Italian expression. These madrigals are displayed to full advantage in the Domkerk.

Programme

  • Johann Hermann Schein

    O Herr, ich bin dein Knecht
    Freue dich des Weibes deiner Jugend
    Die mit Tränen säen
    Wende dich, Herr, und sei mir gnädig
    Zion spricht: Der Herr hat mich verlassen
    Ich bin jung gewesen
    Der Herr denket an uns
    Da Jakob vollendet hatte
    Ist nicht Ephraïm mein teurer Sohn
    Siehe an die Werk Gottes
    Unser Leben währet siebnzig Jahr
    Herr, lass meine Klage
    Ach Herr, ach meiner schone
    Was betrübst du dich, meine Seele
    Ich bin die Wurzel des Geschlechtes David
    Lehre uns bedenken
    (from: Israelis Brünnlein, Leipzig 1623)

    1586-1630
