Program NotesTHE BACH MOTETS

(Compiled from research by Natalie Beck, Karl Geiringer, Bernard S. Greenberg, and Manuela Schwartz)

During the 13th-15th centuries, the term motet, from the French “mot” (word), described a sacred vocal

composition that was contrapuntal, unaccompanied, usually on a single text and in a single texture, rarely in sections, and usually no more than a few minutes long. By the 16th century, the term applied to almost any sacred chorus that was not a hymn, Mass movement, or responsorial. In the Baroque, motet generally meant any sacred composition for voices from either the Bible or religious poetry that did not include solo passages, recitative, or independent instrumental parts. (In contrast to the motet, a cantata does contain solo passages, recitatives, or independent instrumental parts.)

Natalie Beck says that the Lutheran chorale motets had become compound musical structures by the late 17thcentury, and that “…the term ‘motet’ is best applied to a style of composition rather than to a specific form…. Other developments in the late 17th century included the shifting of the melody line from the tenor or bass to the soprano voice. The melody then provided material which was imitative in the accompanying voices.” Beck states further, “By 1700, motets had been replaced by cantatas in the Lutheran service. Motets formerly were the main music of the service and had been sung after the offertory. By Bach’s time, however, they had become either music for special occasions or an introduction to the service following the prelude.” Only six motets that Bach wrote for special occasions are still extant (BWV 225-230) and they form one of the peaks of Bach’ art as a composer of choral music. Three of them will be performed this evening: Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden (BWV 230); Jesu, meine Freude (BWV 227); and Der Geist hilf unsrer Schwachheit auf (BWV 226).

The shortest of these, Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, is an exuberant one-movement setting of Psalm 117 that concludes with a dance-like “Allelujah.” The impetus for its composition is unknown but most scholars think that is was not written for liturgical use. It is scored for four-part chorus and continuo.

Jesu, meine Freude is Bach’s longest motet and it contains eleven movements that form a symmetrical arch – the first and last movements are musically identical. It is scored for five-part choir though some sections are for three and four voices. Through the eleven movements, Bach alternates stanzas of a popular 1653 hymn by Johann Franck, “Jesu, meine Freude,” with passages from the eighth chapter of Romans. The hymn melody is by Johann Crüger and Bach

uses it in five of the eleven movements. Although there is some doubt, Bach apparently composed Jesu, meine Freudein 1723 for a memorial service honoring Johanna Maria Kase, the wife of Leipzig’s Postmaster.

As the music director of the Thomasschule in Leipzig, Bach worked under the headmaster, Johann Heinrich Ernesti. When Ernesti died in October 1729, Bach was commissioned to compose a motet for the funeral service. The result, Der Geist hilf unsrer Schwachheit auf, is a Der Geist hilf unsrer Schwachheit auf, is a Der Geist hilf unsrer Schwachheit aufdouble-choir motet with text taken from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. The motet is in four sections and the concluding chorale is the third verse of Martin Luther’s “Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott.”

A WORD ABOUT PERFORMANCE PRACTICE

The general consensus among contemporary scholars is The general consensus among contemporary scholars is Tthat during Bach’s time, his “Tthat during Bach’s time, his “T a cappella” sacred choral music was accompanied by a continuo complement if at all possible. Furthermore, if instruments were available, Bach had them play colla parte (doubling the voice parts). With specific regard to the three motets performed this evening, an independent continuo part by Bach exists for Lobet den Herrn, and authentic colla parte string and wind parts survive for Der geist hilf. Tonight, strings and winds will Der geist hilf. Tonight, strings and winds will Der geist hilfalso double the voice parts in Lobet den Herrn and Jesu, meine Freude in keeping with Bach’s practice.

THE SWINGLE SINGERS

The concert concludes with two of the Swingle The concert concludes with two of the Swingle TSingers more popular choral arrangements of Bach TSingers more popular choral arrangements of Bach Tinstrumental pieces. Ward Swingle, founder of the Swingle Singers, describes Swingle-singing as “the use of the voice as an instrument in a fusion of jazz and classical styles.” The Swingle Singers originated as background vocals to Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf in Paris in the 1960s. After experiencing numerous personnel changes, they are still popular today and maintain a strenuous performing and recording schedule. Bouree, originally for harpsichord, is from English Suite No. 2 in A Minor(BWV 807). Aria is the famous “Air on a G String,” from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D (BWV 1068).

Mimi Dimitrovska, Alto, is proof of one of the benefits of living on the Palouse: that the universities attract people with extraordinary experiences. Mimi and her family moved to Pullman in 2001 from Skopje, Macedonia, when her husband, Alex, accepted a position with WSU’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. When Mimi found the Chorale and began singing with us in 2002, she brought a wealth of singing experience from her life in Macedonia. Mimi began her formal training at age 8 when she was enrolled in a music school, where she sang with school choirs as well as with Skopje’s large municipal children’s choir. By the age of 20 she was invited to sing with the Macedonian National Radio choir, and at 22 she began singing in the opera choir with the National Theatre. At one point she was singing in four different choirs, and with these groups she toured across the former country of Yugoslavia and as well as throughout Europe, singing concerts in England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and Poland. In addition to her musical activity, Mimi also taught high school comparative literature, the field in which she holds her degree. Mimi loves the process of preparing music and of experiencing and sharing music with others. Preparing this concert has been especially enjoyable for her because Bach is one of her favorite composers--along with Rachmaninoff, Verdi, and Puccini. Mimi says, “This Chorale means very much to me. I feel so enriched with the new musical experiences, especially American music, and I’ve made so many new friends. It’s always easier to make friends through the music.”
