PROGRAM NOTES

J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion: Evolution from Liturgical to Concert Work

Dear Friends in the Audience,

While I normally eschew program notes in favor of speaking from the stage during the concert, I feel that with such a significant work as Johann Sebastian Bach’s Matthäus-Passion (affectionately known in the American music-making world as the “Matt Passion”), a note about some of our performance decisions is in order .

This is Seraphic Fire’s first time performing St. Matthew Passion and typically with a work of this magnitude, there is an authoritative method for how the piece should be performed . In the case of St. Matthew Passion, however, the work’s history requires us to make choices about what and how we choose to perform this masterpiece .

There are at least two surviving versions in Bach’s hand of the Matt Passion (three, if one counts the same material used for the 1729 funeral cantata for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen) . The most often performed version is the one from 1736: Bach’s final revision following a number of performances in Leipzig . This is the version with which we all are probably most familiar, as it has often been performed in South Florida by professional and amateur forces alike .

But, this is not the initial way Bach conceived the work . The first performance of the Matt Passion was likely on April 11, 1727, and that premiere was vastly different than the “final” version we all know . This “original” version of the Matt Passion included hallmarks such as a smaller group of performers, different assignment of vocal parts, and different evangelist recitatives . So tonight, our first choice is to honor that “world premiere” by using the orchestration that the Leipzig Thomas Church congregation heard when the piece was first performed .

Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847)

J . S . B A C H : S T . M A T T H E W P A S S I O N | 1 1

Leipzig authorities demanded that the Biblical text of the Passion be performed in its entirety when Bach began composing this passion . This rule was in contrast to the truncated Biblical text found in Barthold Heinrich Brockes’s prevailing libretto of the day, which was used by composers like Telemann and Handel . Therefore, Bach used the entirety of the biblical Passion with meditations by the librettist Picander, and interspersed popular hymn (“chorale”) tunes that would have been intimately familiar to Bach’s Lutheran congregation . The complete work was actually performed as the central component of the Lutheran Good Friday liturgy, complete with congregation singing and a lengthy sermon between the two acts of the Passion .

Yet, when we perform this work for a contemporary audience, it is simply not enough to recreate a liturgical ceremony from the Baroque era . In fact, tonight’s performance is definitively secular in nature: held in a non-Lutheran venue within a concert setting, rather than as part of a sacred liturgy, and with a 21st Century audience that has a much different concept of what is both dramatically and socially acceptable than Bach’s congregation

would have understood . So, we are faced with a work out of its element, being performed for a different purpose than originally intended . How do we resolve this dissonance? Fortunately, the hard issues reconciling a sacred work with a post-Enlightenment secular presentation were solved more than 150 years ago when Felix Mendelssohn—largely responsible for the introduction of the liturgical music of Bach to the concert stage—revived the work in Berlin as a concert piece .

Mendelssohn made substantial libretto changes for that initial Berlin performance to reflect that Bach’s St. Matthew Passion was being performed as a concert work (an Oratorio, per se) rather than a liturgical work, and to adjust his audience’s more inclusive philosophies .

Bach’s 18th Century Lutheran congregates were decidedly dismissive toward Judaism; for some, pejorative . As such, to Mendelssohn’s theologically diverse audience of preeminent 19th Century German Enlightenment figures, the liturgical libretto would have been untenable . That Berlin concert audience would not have been exclusively Lutheran or even exclusively Christian, as German Jews had been assimilating into mainstream cultural society and regularly attended concerts with their Christian neighbors . To mitigate 18th Century anti-Semitic elements of the work, Mendelssohn removed a number of chorales, arias, and recitatives; the exact number fluctuated throughout the various revivals that Mendelssohn mounted in his lifetime .


PROGRAM NOTES

It is important to understand that although he descended from an influential Jewish family, Mendelssohn and his sister were baptized Lutheran at an early age by their Jewish parents to avoid some of the lingering anti-Jewish sentiment . Despite his baptism, he never lost the connection to his Jewish roots, particularly his Jewish grandparents, which helped motivate his desire for a more inclusive Matthew Passion .

Additionally, the piece’s original setting (the Good Friday service of the Lutheran Church) regularly lasted much longer than a standard 19th Century concert, often in excess of three hours . So, Mendelssohn tightened the dramatic content for the concert stage, shortening da capo arias (arias with a distinct A and B section, traditionally followed by a repeat of the A section), which aligned them closer to the contemporary Romantic dramatic ideal .

Thus, 100 years after its previous performance, it was in this more secular-dramatic form that the Matt Passion was ecstatically received by the German cultural cognoscenti, launching the work to the highest echelon of standard Western concert repertoire . As it was Mendelssohn who re-introduced the world to the music of the St. Matthew Passion, it will be Mendelssohn’s libretto that we use tonight under similar circumstances as the concert premiere: a secular performance for a secular audience in a contemporary era when ideas about the treatment of the Jewish people in public life has changed drastically since the 18th Century .

Both the music and the libretto represent “firsts” for St. Matthew Passion, and we hope that in this presentation you might sense some of the revolutionary nature that Mendelssohn’s audience experienced in its centennial revival .

St. Matthew Passion

1. Chorus: Kommt, ihr Töchter

Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen,sehet, (Wen?) den Bräutigam,seht ihn (Wie?) als wie ein Lamm .O Lamm Gottes, unschuldigam Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet .Sehet, (Was?) seht die Geduld,allzeit erfunden geduldig,wiewohl du warest verachtet .Seht (Wohin?) auf unsre Schuld,All Sünd hast du getragen,sonst müßten wir verzagen;Sehet ihn aus Lieb und HuldHolz zum Kreuze selber tragen,Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu, o Jesu!Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen,sehet, (Wen?) den Bräutigam,seht ihn (Wie?) als wie ein Lamm .

2. Evangelist, Jesus: Da Jesus diese Rede

Evangelista:Da Jesus diese Rede vollendet hatte,sprach er zu seinen Jüngern:

Jesus:Ihr wisset, daß nach zween Tagen Ostern wird,und des Menschen Sohn wird überantwortet werden, daß er gekreuziget werde .

3. Chorale: Herzliebster Jesu

Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen,daß man ein solch scharf Urteil hat gesprochen?Was ist die Schuld,in was vor Missetaten bist du geraten?

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750)

Come, ye daughters, share my wailing,see ye (Whom?) the Bridegroom,see him (How?) as a Lamb .O Lamb of God, innocentslaughtered on the stem of the cross .See, (What?) how patient he,serene and ever patient,although thou wast despised .See (Where?) how guilty we,All sin hast Thou borne,else would we despair;See ye him, for love and gracemust carry the wood of his own cross,Have mercy on us, o Jesus, o Jesus!Come, ye daughters, share my wailing,see ye (Whom?) the Bridegroom,see him (How?) as a Lamb .

Evangelist:When Jesus had completed this speech, he said to his disciples:

Jesus:You know that The Passover is two days hence,and the Son of Man will be delivered,that he may be crucified .

Dearest Jesus, what have you done,that such a cruel judgment has been spoken?What is the fault,what misdeeds have you committed?

TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS


4. Evangelist, Chorus, Jesus: Da versammelten sich

Evangelista:Da versammelten sich die Hohenpriesterund Schriftgelehrten, und die Ältesten im Volkin den Palast des Hohenpriesters,der da heißt Kaiphas, und hielten Rat,wie sie Jesum mit Listen griffen und töteten .Sie sprachen aber:

Chorus:Ja nicht auf das Fest,auf daß nicht ein Aufruhr werde im Volk .

Evangelista:Da nun Jesus war zu Bethanien,im Hause Simonis des Ausätzigen,trat zu ihm ein Weib, das hatte ein Glasmit köstlichem Wasserund goß es auf sein Haupt,da er zu Tische saß .Da das seine Jünger sahen,wurden sie unwillig und sprachen:

Chorus:Wozu dienet dieser Unrat,Dieses Wasser hätte mögen teuer verkauftund den Armen gegeben werden .

Evangelista:Da das Jesus merkete, sprach er zu ihnen:

Jesus:Was bekümmert ihr das Weib?Sie hat ein gut Werk an mir getan .Ihr habet allezeit Armen bei euch,mich aber habt ihr nicht allezeit .Daß sie dies Wasser hat auf meinen Leib gegossen,hat sie getan, daß man mich begraben wird .Wahrlich, ich sage euch:Wo dies Evangelium geprediget wirdin der ganzen Welt,da wird man auch sagen zu ihrem Gedächtnis,was sie getan hat .

Evangelist:There the high priests and scribesgathered together, and the elders of the peoplein the palace of the high priest,whose name was Caiaphas, and took counsel,how Jesus could be stealthily captured and killed .But they said:

Chorus:Not at the feast,lest the people create an uproar .

Evangelist:Now Jesus was at Bethany,in the house of Simon the leper,a woman came to him, who had a glassof costliest ointmentand poured it on his head,as he sat at the table .But when his disciples saw it,they became indignant and said:

Chorus:What purpose does this wastefulness serve?This ointment might have sold for a costly sumand been given to the poor .

Evangelist:Jesus heard this, and said unto them:

Jesus:Why are you so troubled by the woman?She has done a good work unto me .You always have the poor with you,but you will not always have me .She has poured this ointment on my body,so that I may be buried .Verily, I say unto you:Wherever this gospel shall be preachedthroughout the whole world,there will also be a remembranceof what she has done .


5. Recitative: Du lieber Heiland du

Du lieber Heiland du,wenn deine Jünger töricht streiten,daß dieses fromme Weib mit Salbendeinen Leib zum Grabe will bereiten,so lasse mir inzwischen zu,von meiner Augen Tränenflüssenein Wasser auf dein Haupt zu gießen .

6. Aria: Buß und Reu

Buß und Reuknirscht das Sündenherz entzwei,daß die Tropfen meiner Zähren angenehme Spezerei,treuer Jesu, dir gebären .

7. Evangelist, Judas: Da ging hin

Evangelista:Da ging hin der Zwölfen einermit Namen Judas Ischariothzu den Hohenpriestern und sprach:

Judas:Was wollt ihr mir geben?Ich will ihn euch verraten .

Evangelista:Und sie boten ihm dreißig Silberlinge .Und von dem an suchte er Gelegenheit,Daß er ihn verriete .

8. Aria: Blute nur, du liebes Herz

Blute nur, du liebes Herz .Ach! ein Kind, das du erzogen,das aus deiner Brust gesogen,droht den Pfleger zu ermorden,denn es ist zur Schlange worden .

Beloved Savior thou,while your disciples foolishly quarrel,because this pious woman wants with salvesto prepare your body for the grave,let me meanwhile,using the streams of tears from my eyespour an ointment upon your head .

Repentance and remorsetear my sinful heart in two,let the drops of my tears be a soothing balm,for you, faithful Jesus .

Evangelist:Then one of the twelvewith the name Judas Iscariotwent to the high priests and said:

Judas:What sum will you give me?I want to betray him to you .

Evangelist:And they offered him thirty pieces of silver .And from then on, he sought an opportunity,that he might betray him .

Bleed on, dear heart .Oh! A child that you raised,that sucked at your breast,threatens to murder its guardian,because it has become a serpent .



9. Evangelist, Chorus, Jesus: Aber am ersten Tage

Evangelista:Aber am ersten Tage der süßen Brottraten die Jünger zu Jesu und sprachen zu ihm:

Chorus:Wo willst du, daß wir dir bereiten,das Osterlamm zu essen?

Evangelista:Er sprach:

Jesus:Gehet hin in die Stadt zu einem und sprecht zu ihm:Der Meister läßt dir sagen;Meine Zeit ist hie, ich will bei dirdie Ostern halten mit meinem Jüngern .

Evangelista:Und die Jünger taten,wie ihnen Jesus befohlen hatte,und bereiteten das Osterlamm .Und am Abend satzte er sich zu Tischmit den Zwölfen .Und da sie aßen, sprach er:

Jesus:Wahrlich, ich sage euch:Einer unter euch wird mich verraten .

Evangelista:Und sie wurden sehr betrübt und huben an,ein jeglicher unter ihnen, und sagten zu ihm;

Chorus:Herr, bin ichs?

Evangelist:But on the first day of unleavened breadthe disciples came to Jesus and said unto him:

Chorus:Where wilt thou, that we should preparethe Pascal Lamb for eating?

Evangelist:He said:

Jesus:Go into the city, and say to one there:The Master bids us tell you;My time is at hand, at your houseI wish to keep the Passover with my disciples .

Evangelist:And the disciples did,as Jesus had commanded them,and prepared the Pascal Lamb .And in the evening he sat at the tablewith the twelve .And as they ate, he said:

Jesus:Verily, I say to you:One of you will betray me .

Evangelist:And they became very distressed and began,each of them, to say to him;

Chorus:Lord, is it I?


10. Chorale: Ich bins, ich sollte büßen

Ich bin’s, ich sollte büßen,an Händen und an Füßen gebunden in der Höll .Die Geißeln und die Bandenund was du ausgestanden,das hat verdienet meine Seel .

11. Evangelist, Jesus, Judas: Er antwortete

Evangelista:Er antwortete und sprach:

Jesus:Der mit der Hand mit mir in die Schüssel tauchet,der wird mich verraten .Des Menschen Sohn gehet zwar dahin,wie von ihm geschrieben stehet;doch wehe dem Menschen,durch welchen des Menschen Sohn verraten wird!Es wäre ihm besser,daß derselbige Mensch noch nie gebore wäre .

Evangelista:Da antwortete Judas,der ihn verriet, und sprach:

Judas:Bin ichs, Rabbi?

Evangelista:Er sprach zu ihm:

Jesus:Du sagests .

Evangelista:Da sie aber aßen, nahm Jesus das Brot,dankete und brachs und gabs den Jüngernund sprach:

Jesus:Nehmet, esset, das is mein Leib .

It is I, I should atone,hands and feet bound in Hell .The castigation and bondsand all that you endured,are what my soul deserves .

Evangelist:He answered them and said:

Jesus:The hand that dips in the bowl with mine,this one will betray me .The Son of Man is indeed going there,as it is written of him;but woe unto man,through whom the Son of Man is betrayed!It would be better for him,if he would have never been born .

Evangelist:Then answered Judas,who had betrayed him, and said:

Judas:Is it I, Rabbi?

Evangelist:He said to him:

Jesus:You say it .

Evangelist:As they were eating, Jesus took the bread,gave thanks, broke it, and gave to the disciplesand said:

Jesus:Take, eat, this is my body .



Evangelista:Und er nahm den Kelch und dankete,gab ihnen den und sprach:

Jesus:Trinket alle daraus,das ist mein Blut des neuen Testaments,welches vergossen wird für vielezur Vergebung der Sünden .Ich sage euch: Ich werde hinfort nicht mehrvon diesem Gewächs des Weinstocks trinkenbis an den Tag, da ichs neu trinken werdemit euch in meines Vaters Reich .

14. Evangelist, Jesus: Und da sie den Lobgesang

Evangelista:Und da sie den Lobgesang gesprochen hatten,gingen sie hinaus an den Ölberg .Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen:

Jesus:In dieser Nacht werden ihn euch alle ärgern an mir .Denn es stehet geschrieben:Ich werde den Hirten schlagen,und die Schafe der Herde werden sich zersteuen .Wenn ich aber auferstehe,will ich vor euch hingehen in Galiläam .

15. Chorale: Erkenne mich, mein Hüter

Erkenne mich, mein Hüter,mein Hirte, nimm mich an!Von dir, Quell aller Güter,ist mir viel Guts getan .Dein Mund hat mich gelabetmit Milch und süßer Kost,dein Geist hat mich begabetmit mancher Himmelslust .

Evangelist:And he took the cup, and giving thanks,he gave it to them and said:

Jesus:Drink, all of you,this is my blood of the New Testament,which will be shed for manyfor the forgiveness of sins .I say to you: I will no longer drinkfrom this fruit of the vineuntil the day that I drink againwith you in my Father’s kingdom .

Evangelist:And when they had sung the song of praise,they went forth to the Mount of Olives .Then Jesus said to them:

Jesus:This very night you will all be offended by me .For it is written:I will smite the shepherd,and the sheep of the flock will scatter .But when I am risen again,I will go before you to Galilee .

Know me, my keeper, my shepherd, take me on!From you, source of all good,has much good come to me .Your mouth has refreshed mewith milk and sweetmeats,your spirit has gifted mewith much heavenly delight .


16. Evangelist, Jesus, Peter: Petrus aber antwortete

Evangelista:Petrus aber antwortete und sprach zu ihm:

Petrus:Wenn sie auch alle sich an dir ärgerten,so will ich doch mich nimmermehr ärgern .

Evangelista:Jesus sprach zu ihm:

Jesus:Wahrlich, ich sage dir:In dieser Nacht, ehe der Hahn krähet,wirst du mich dreimal verleugnen .

Evangelista:Petrus sprach zu ihm:

Petrus:Und wenn ich mit dir sterben müßte,so will ich dich nicht verleugnen .

Evangelista:Desgleichen sagten auch alle Jünger .

17. Chorale: Es dient zu meinen Freuden

Es dient zu meinen Freuden,und kommt mir herzlich wohl,wenn ich in deinem Leiden,mein Heil, mich finden soll .Ach möcht ich, o mein Leben,an deinem Kreuze hier,mein Leben von mir geben,wie wohl geschähe mir!

Peter:Though all other men are offended by you,I will never be offended .

Evangelist:Jesus said to him:

Evangelist:Peter said to him:

Peter:If I must die with you,I will never deny you .

Evangelist:All the disciples said likewise .

It serves to bring me joy,and does my heart good,when in your sufferings,my Savior, I can find myself .Oh, if I could, O my life,on your cross here,give my own life,how good that would be for me!



18. Evangelist, Jesus: Da kam Jesus

Evangelista:Da kam Jesus mit ihnen zu einem Hofe,der heiß Gethsemane,und sprach zu seinen Jüngern:

Jesus:Setzet euch hie,bis daß ich dort hingehe und bete .

Evangelista:Und nahm zu sich Petrumund die zween Söhne Zebedäiund fing an zu trauern und zu zagen .Da sprach Jesus zu ihnen:

Jesus:Meine Seele ist betrübt bis an den Tod,Bleibet hie und wachet mit mir .

19. Recitative: O Schmerz!

O Schmerz!hier zittert das gequälte Herz;wie sinkt es hin,wie bleicht sein Angesicht!Was ist die Ursach aller solcher Plagen?Der Richter führt ihn vor Gericht .Da ist kein Trost, kein Helfer nicht .Ach, meine Sünden haben dich geschlagen;Er leidet alle Höllenqualen,er soll vor fremden Raub bezahlen .ich, ach Herr Jesu,habe dies verschuldet,was du er duldet .Ach, könnte meine Liebe dir, mein Heil,dein Zittern und dein Zagen vermindernoder helfen tragen,wie gerne blieb ich heir!

Evangelist:Then Jesus came with them to a garden,by the name Gethsemane,and said to his disciples:

Jesus:Sit here,while I go forth and pray .

Evangelist:He took Peter with himand the two sons of Zebedeeand became troubled and began to mourn .Then Jesus said unto them:

Jesus:My soul is distressed, even unto death,Stay here and keep watch with me .

Oh, pain!here the tortured heart trembles;how it sinks,how pale his face!What is the cause of all such plagues?The judge takes him to court .There is no comfort, no helper .Oh, my sins have smitten Thee;He suffers all the hellish calamities,he must repay what others have stolen .I, oh Lord Jesus,am to blamefor what you suffer .Ah, if my love coulddiminish your trembling and your trepidationor help you carry it, my salvation,how gladly would I stay here!


20. Aria: Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen

Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen,So schlafen unsre Sünden ein .Meinen Tod büßet seine Seelennot,sein Trauren machet mich voll Freuden .Drum muß uns sein verdienstlich Leidenrecht bitter und doch süße sein .Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen,So schlafen unsere Sünden ein .

21. Evangelist, Jesus: Und ging hin

Evangelista:Und ging hin ein wenig,fiel nieder auf sein Angesichtund betete und sprach:

Jesus:Mein Vater, ist’s möglich,so gehe dieser Kelch von mir;doch nicht wie ich will, sondern wie du willt .

24. Evangelist, Jesus: Und er kam

Evangelista:Und er kam zu seinen Jüngernund fand sie schlafendund sprach zu Petro:

Jesus:Könnet ihr denn nicht eine Stunde mit mir wachen?Wachet und betet,daß ihr nicht in Anfechtung fallet!Der Geist ist willig,aber das Fleisch ist schwach .

Evangelista:Zum andernmal ging er hin, betete und sprach:

I want to keep watch with my Jesus,So that our sins fall asleep .He pays for my death with his soul,his mourning makes me joyful .Thus must his meritorious sufferingbe quite bitter and yet also sweet to us .I want to keep watch with my Jesus,So that our sins fall asleep .

Evangelist:And he went a bit farther away,fell down upon his faceand prayed and said:

Jesus:My Father, if it is possible,let this cup pass from me;not as I will, but rather as Thou wilt .

Evangelist:And he came to his disciplesand found them asleepand said to Peter:

Jesus:Can you not watch with me for an hour?Watch and pray,that you fall not into temptation!The spirit is willing,but the flesh is weak .

Evangelist:He went away again, prayed and said:



Jesus:Mein Vater, ist’s nicht möglich,daß dieser Kelch von mir gehe,ich trinke ihn denn,so geschehe dein Wille .

25. Chorale: Was mein Gott

Was mein Gott will, das g’scheh allzeit,sein Will, der ist der beste .Zu helfen den’ er ist bereit,die an ihn gläuben feste .Er hilf aus Not, der fromme Gott,und züchtiget mit Maßen .Wer Gott vertraut, fest auf ihn baut,den will er nicht verlassen .

26. Evangelist, Jesus, Judas: Und er kam

Evangelista:Und er kam und fand sie aber schlafend,und ihre Augen waren voll Schlafs .Und er ließ sie und ging abermal hinund betete zum drittenmalund redete dieselbigen Worte .Da kam er zu seinen Jüngern und sprach zu ihnen:

Jesus:Ach! wollt ihr nun schlafen und ruhen?Siehe, die Stunde ist hie,daß des Menschen Sohn in der Sünder Händeüberantwortet werde .Stehet auf, lasset uns gehen;siehe, er ist da, der mich verrät .

Jesus:My father, if it is not possiblefor this cup to pass from me,unless I drink it,then let Thy will be done .

What my God wills, let it always be,His will is best .He is ready to help thoseWho firmly believe in him . He helps those in need, the devoted God,and chastises in moderation .Who trusts in God, and builds firmly on Him,will not be forsaken .

Evangelist:And he came and found them asleep,and their eyes were full of sleep .And he left them and went away againand prayed for the third timeand recited the same words .Then he came to his disciples and said to them:

Jesus:Ah! Do you want to sleep and rest now?See, the hour is at hand,that the Son of Man shall be betrayedinto the hands of sinners .Get up, let us go;behold, he is there, the one who betrays me .


Evangelista:Und als er noch redete, siehe,da kam Judas, der Zwölfen einer,und mit ihm eine große Scharmet Schwertern und mit Stangenvon den Hohenpriestern und Ältesten des Volks .Und der Verräter hatte ihnen ein Zeichen gegebenund gesagt:“Welchen ich küssen werde,der ists, den greifet!”Und alsbald trat er zu Jesu und sprach:

Evangelist:And as he spoke, behold,came Judas, one of the twelve,and with him a great multitudewith swords and stavessent by the high priests and the Elders of the people .And the traitor gave them a signaland said:“The one whom I shall kiss,that is him, seize him!”Immediately, he approached Jesus and said:

Judas:Hail to You, Rabbi!

Evangelist:and kissed him .Jesus said to him:

Jesus:My friend, why have you come?

Evangelist:They came unto himand put their hands on Jesus and seized him .

So is my Jesus now captured .Loose him, halt, bind him not!Moon and light have gone dark in pain,because my Jesus is captured .Loose him, halt, bind him not!They lead him away, he is bound .

Chorus:Have lightning and thundergone missing from the clouds?Open your fiery abyss, oh hell,shatter, devour,defile, destroy with vicious ragethe false traitor, the murderous blood!



28. Evangelist, Jesus: Und siehe

Evangelista:Und siehe, einer aus denen, die mit Jesu waren,reckete die Hand aus,und schlug des Hohenpriesters Knechtund hieb ihm ein Ohr ab .Da sprach Jesus zu ihm:

Jesus:Stecke dein Schwert an seinen Ort;denn wer das Schwert nimmt,der soll durchs Schwert unkommen .Oder meinest du,daß ich nicht könnte meinen Vater bitten,daß er mir zuschickte mehr dennzwölf Legion Engel?Wie würde aber die Schrift erfüllet?Es muß also gehen .

Evangelista:Zu der Stund sprach Jesus zu den Scharen:

Jesus:Ihr seid ausgegangen als zu einem Mörder,mit Schwerten und mit Stangen mich zu fahen,bin ich doch täglich bei euch gesessenund habe gelehret im Tempel,und ihr habt mich nicht gegriffen .Aber das ist alles geschehen,daß erfüllet würden die Schriften der Propheten .

Evangelista:Da verließen ihn alle Jüngern und flohen .

Evangelist:And behold, one of those who was with Jesus,stretched out his hand,and struck the high priest’s servantand slashed off his ear .Then Jesus said to him:

Jesus:Put your sword in its place;for whoever takes the sword,shall perish by the sword .Or do you think,that I could not ask my Father,to send me more thantwelve legions of angels?Then how would the Scripture be fulfilled?It must happen so .

Evangelist:At the hour Jesus spoke to the multitudes:

Jesus:You have come out as if I am a murderer,carrying swords and staves to take me,I have sat with you every dayand have taught in the Temple,and you have never seized me .But all that is happening,fulfills the scriptures of the prophets .

Evangelist:Then all the disciples forsook him and fled .


29. Chorale: O Mensch (BWV 402)

O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß,darum Christus seins Vaters Schoß äußert,und kam auf Erden .Von einer Jungfrau rein und zartfür uns er hie geboren ward,er wollt der Mittler werden,Den Toten er das Leben gab,und legt dabei all Krankheit ab,bis sich die Zeit herdrange,daß er für uns geopfert würd,trüg unsrer Sünden schwere Bürdwohl an dem Kreuze lange .

30. Aria: Ach! nun ist mein Jesus hin

Ach, nun ist mein Jesus hin!Wo ist denn dein Freund hingegangen,o du Schönste unter den Weibern?Ist es möglich, kann ich schauen?Wo hat sich dein Freund hingewandt?Ach! mein Lamm in Tigerklauen, ach!Wo ist mein Jesus hin?So wollen wir mit dir ihn suchen .Ach! was soll ich der Seele sagen,wenn sie mich wird ängstlich fragen:Ach! wo ist mein Jesus hin?

31. Evangelist: Die aber Jesum

Evangelista:Die aber Jesum gegriffen hatten,führeten ihn zu dem Hohenpriester Kaiphas,dahin die Schriftgelehrten und Ältestensich versammlet hatten .Die Hohenpriester aber und Ältestenund der ganze Ratsuchten falsche Zeugnis wider Jesum,auf daß sie ihn töteten, und funden keines .

Oh mankind, mourn your great sin,for which Christ left his Father’s lapand came to earth .From a virgin pure and tenderfor us was he born here,He wants to be our mediator,He gave life to the dead,and laid aside all sickness,until the time came,that he would be offered for us,bearing the heavy burden of our sinslong on the cross .

Oh, now my Jesus is gone!Where has thine friend gone,o thou fairest among women?Is it possible, can I bear to look?Where has thine friend gone?Oh! My lamb in tiger’s claws, oh!Where did my Jesus go?We want to search for him with you .Oh! What shall I say to my soul,when it anxiously asks me:Oh! Where has my Jesus gone?

Evangelist:Those who had seized Jesuslead him to the high priest Caiaphas,with whom the learned scribes and eldershad gathered together .The high priest and eldersand the entire councilsought false testimony against Jesus,that they might kill him, and found none .

Evangelista:Und der Hohepriester antwortete und sprach zu ihm:

Pontifex:Ich beschwöre dich bei dem lebendigen Gott,daß du uns sagest,ob du seiest Christus, der Sohn Gottes?

Evangelista:Da zerriß der Hohepriester seine Kleider und sprach:

Pontifex:Er hat Gott gelästert;was dürfen wir weiter Zeugnis?Siehe, itzt habt ihr seine Gotteslästerung gehöret,was dünket euch?

Evangelista:Sie antworteten und sprachen:

Chorus:Er ist des Todes schuldig!

Evangelista:Da speieten sie aus in sein Angesichtund schlugen ihn mit Fäusten .Etliche aber schlugen ihn ins Angesichtund sprachen:

Evangelista:Petrus aber saß draußen im Palast;und es trat zu ihm eine Magd und sprach:

Ancilla I:Und du warest auch mit dem Jesu aus Galiläa .

Pontiff:He has blasphemed God;What other testimony is there?See, you have heard his blasphemy against God,how does it appear to you?

Evangelist:The answered him and said:

Chorus:He is guilty of death!

Evangelist:Then they spat in his faceand beat him with fists .Several struck him in the faceand said:

Chorus:Divine us, Christ, who struck you?

Chorale:Who has struck you so, my salvation,and afflicted you with such vile plagues?You are not a sinnerlike us and our children;you do not know of misdeeds .

Peter:I do not know what you are saying .

Evangelist:But when he went out the door,another maid saw himand spoke to all who were there:

Second Maid:This one was also with Jesus of Nazareth .

Evangelist:And he denied again and swore thus:

Peter:I do not know that man .

Evangelist:And after a little while, those who stood therestepped forward and said to Peter:

Chorus:Surely, you are also one of them;for your speech betrays you .

Evangelist:Then he began to curse and swear:

Peter:I do not know that man .

Evangelist:And immediately the cock crowed .Then Peter thought of the wordsthat Jesus had said to him:Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times .And he went out and wept bitterly .

Mache dich, mein Herze, rein,ich will Jesum selbst begraben .

In the evening when it was cool,Adam’s fall was manifest,in the evening the Redeemer cast him down .In the evening the dove returnedand carried an olive branch in its mouth .O beautiful time! Oh evening hour!Peace is now made with God,for Jesus has endured his cross .His body comes to rest, alas!dear soul, prithee, go,let the dead Jesus be presented to you,Oh wholesome, oh precious remembrance .

Make yourself pure, my heart,I want to entomb Jesus myself .


66. Evangelist, Chorus, Pilate: Und Joseph nahm den Leib

Evangelista:Und Joseph nahm den Leibund wickelte ihn in ein rein Leinwandund legte ihn in sein eigen neu Grab,welches her hatte lassen in einen Fels hauen,und wälzete einen großen Steinvor die Tür des Grabes und ging davon .Es war aber allda Maria Magdalenaund die andere Maria,die satzten sich gegen das Grab .Des andern Tages,der da folget nach dem Rüstage,kamen die Hohenpriester und Pharisäer sämtlichzu Pilato und sprachen:

Chorus:Herr, wir haben gedacht,daß dieser Verführer sprach,da er noch lebete:Ich will nach dreien Tagen wieder auferstehen .Darum befiehl, daß man das Grab verwahre bisan den dritten Tag, auf daß nichtseine Jünger kommen und stehlen ihnund sagen zu dem Volk:Er ist auferstanden von den Toten,und werde der letzte Betrugärger denn der erste!

Evangelista:Pilatus sprach zu ihnen:

Pilatus:Da habt ihr die Hüter,gehet hin und verwahrets,wie ihrs wisset!

Evangelista:Sie gingen hinund verwahreten das Grab mit Hüternund versiegelten den Stein .

Evangelist:And Joseph took the bodyand wrapped it in a pure linen shroudand laid it in its own new tomb,which he had carved from a rock,and rolled a great stonebefore the door of the tomb and went away .But it was Mary Magdaleneand the other Mary,who sat against the tomb .The next day, which followed the Day of Preparations,the high priests and Pharisees came togetherunto Pilate and said:

Chorus:Sir, we have thought,how this deceiver said,when he was still alive:I will rise again after three days .Therefore, command that the tomb be guardeduntil the third day, lesthis disciples come and steal himand say to the people:He is risen from the dead,and thus the final deceitwould be worse than the first!

Evangelist:Pilate said to them:

Pilate:You have your guards,go and secure itas best you can!

Evangelist:They went forthand secured the grave with guardsand sealed the stone .



67. Recitative: Nun ist der Herr

Nun ist der Herr zur Ruh gebracht .Mein Jesu, mein Jesu, gute Nacht!Die Müh ist aus,die unsre Sünden ihm gemacht .Mein Jesu, mein Jesu, gute Nacht!O selige Gebeine, seht,wie ich euch mit Buß und Reu beweine,daß euch mein Fall in solche Not gebracht!Mein Jesu, mein Jesu, gute Nacht!Habt lebenslang vor euer Leiden tausend Dank,daß ihr mein Seelenheil so wert geacht .Mein Jesu, mein Jesu, gute Nacht!

68. Chorus: Wir setzen uns

Wir setzen uns mit Tränen niederund rufen dir im Grabe zu:Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh!Ruht, ihr ausgesognen Glieder,Ruhet sanfte, ruhet wohl!Euer Grab und Leichensteinsoll dem ängstlichen Gewissenein bequemes Ruhekissenund der Seelen Ruhstatt sein .Höchst vergnügtschlummern da die Augen ein .

Now is the Lord brought to rest .My Jesus, my Jesus, good night!The toil is done,which our sins made for him .My Jesus, my Jesus, good night!Oh blessed remains, see,how I weep for you with penance and repentance,that my fall brought you to such misery!My Jesus, my Jesus, good night!Have a thousand thanks for your suffering,that you cared so much for my salvation .My Jesus, my Jesus, good night!

We sit down with tearsand call to you in the tomb:Rest softly, softly rest!Rest, your weary limbs,Rest softly, rest well!Your grave and tombstoneshall for the anxious consciencebe a comfortable pillowand the soul’s resting place .Most joyfullythe eyes sleep there .

“I’m exceptionally grateful to be a part of Seraphic Fire’s Ensemble Artist Program. In the months leading up to this season, I battled physical and emotional fallout from a motorcycle accident that nearly claimed my life. Making music as part of this program has become as integral to my recovery as my physical therapy, and I look forward to creating beautiful art among America’s finest musicians.”

Garrett Schoonover, Bass
