Historia di Jephte - Giacomo Carissimi
Aller Augen warten auf dich, Herre - Heinrich Schütz
Jauchzet dem Herrn - Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Rock my soul - Richard Jackson
The oratorio form began to emerge around the year 1600, mainly in Rome. First compositions of this kind lacked the ambitions of the masterpieces of supreme Baroque era and later. The first composer using this form was Giacomo Carissimi (1605-1674). His best known oratorio, Historia di Jepthe, is based on several references within the Old Testament about the Jewish king Jephte and his daughter, unnamed in the Bible. The king unknowingly promised to sacrifice her, if the God grants him a victory over the Ammonites. You can learn how it fell out in this atelier, as we will perform the oratorio (about 20 minutes of beautiful music for solo, choir and basso continuo) on Saturday concert. Its final choir is one of the best composition for the choir in the 17th century. At the Sunday concert we will step out of the old music canon while performing the Mendelssohn's psalm Jauchzet dem Herrn and the mysterious piece Sweep My Soul, it will certainly be worth it.

Leoš Janáček: Elegy on the death of daughter Olga
Leoš Janáček: Nursery Rhymes
I do not know a composer who can express more with less effort. Janáček just needs one motive and I smell a fire, I see clouds in the sky, stabbing you at heart, heart laughing, soul flying home. Without sentimentality, alive, with a courtly feeling, with sharp eyesight and genius, he distills the music of forests, fields, animals, but mainly humans, into short, powerful chants and sends them into battle like a general. To life, to life!
In Elegy on the death of daughter Olga, Janáček lays out all his love for his daughter. In the Nursery Rhymes, he offers us a masterpiece composition, a musical wit, but above all a fiery heart and wide eyes of a child.
