SKU: BT.DHP-1185853-140

English-German-French-Dutch.

Unlike most passion settings with choir, soloists and orchestra, this version of the Markus-Passion has been conceived for band, narrator and mezzo soprano and baritone (or alto). The lyrics from the Gospel According to Mark have been used in full, which makes this passion quite unique. If desired, the lyrics of the evangelist can be spoken in any language, to make the work more accessible to the audience. However, because of the rhythms involved, the sung parts should always be performed in German. This special work should be a truly overwhelming experience for your audience!

De meeste passies zijn geschreven voor koor, solisten en orkest, maar deze versie van de Markus-Passion is gecomponeerd voor blaasorkest, verteller, mezzosopraan en bariton (of alt). De tekst uit het evangelie volgens Marcus wordt door de componist integraal gebruikt, wat deze passie uniek maakt. Desgewenst kunnen de teksten van de evangelist in elke gewenste taal worden uitgesproken, om het werk toegankelijker te maken voor het publiek. De gezongen delen zullen omwille van de ritmiek altijd in het Duits moeten worden uitgevoerd. Met dit in alle opzichten bijzondere werk biedt u uw publiek een overweldigende ervaring!

Diese Version der Markus-Passion wurde für Blasorchester, Erzähler, Mezzosopran (oder Alt) und Bariton geschrieben und unterscheidet sich dadurch von den meisten anderen Passionen, die für Chor, Solisten und Orchester konzipiert sind. Die Texte aus dem Markusevangelium wurden vollständig verwendet, was diese Passion einzigartig macht. Die Worte des Evangelisten können auch in einer anderen Sprache vorgetragen werden, damit das Werk für das jeweilige Publikum zugänglicher ist. Die Vokalstimmen sollten aufgrund der komplexen Rhythmen immer auf Deutsch gesungen werden. Dieses Werk ist in jeder Hinsicht etwas ganz Besonderes und bietet ein wirklich überwältigendes Erlebnis fürdas Publikum!

Contrairement la plupart des passions avec chœur, solistes et orchestre, cette version de la Passion selon Saint-Marc a été conçue pour orchestre, narrateur, mezzo soprano et baryton (ou alto). Les paroles de l’Evangile selon Marc ont été entièrement utilisées, ce qui rend cette passion si unique. Si vous le souhaitez, les paroles de l’évangéliste peuvent être récitées dans toutes les langues afin de rendre l’œuvre plus accessible au public. Les parties chantées doivent toujours être interprétées en allemand en raison de la rythmique. Cette œuvre est très particulière dans tous les sens du terme et est une expérience extraordinaire pour votre public !

Third version, first performed around 1747 in Leipzig. First version available under 35.304/00. The St. Mark Passion, which probably originated in the first decade of the 18th century, by a composer known until now only as Kaiser, is only preserved in various copies. It occupies a prominent place in Bach's music library as the only music for Passion by another composer which he performed several times, usually in different forms. For the young Bach in Weimar this St. Mark Passion was a didactic piece for learning the art of the modern narrative recitative; as the Leipzig Thomaskantor he also performed it (1726). The present edition reconstructs the third version, first performed in Leipzig (1747), in which Bach inserted seven arias from Handel's famous Brockes-Passion. Only in this pasticcio did a direct encounter occur between him and his famous compatriot in London, a real encounter which Bach longed for, but which never came about. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3550200.

First version, first performed in Weimar around 1713 by J. S. Bach; from Bach's music library. Third version available under 35.502/00. Version of a performance at the Weimar court from around 1713 by J.S. Bach; from his library of music. It has been proven that J. S. Bach studied the St. Mark Passion of Reinhard Keiser frequently and intensively. At least three performances of this work verify this fact. A new Carus edition presents the 'Weimar' version, since the material is almost complete. Keiser's Passion is well suited for 'normal' conditions, with regard to length, difficulty and scoring. In every respect a rewarding representation of the Passion. Kirchenmusikalische Mitteilungen 3 / 1999. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3530400.

Gottfried August Homilius belongs to the last generation of composers of the 18th century who, in addition to the popular Passion oratorios, continued to write oratorio Passions using biblical texts. From his pen a Passion for each of the four Gospels has survived. With sensitive arias, unusal orchestral sound and expressive turba choruses Homilius translated the traditional Passion to his times. It was surely not a coincidence that in Hamburg Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachr resorted primarily to the Passions of Homilius, especially the St. Mark Passion, which he first performed in an abridged version in 1770 and whose music he employed in 14 of his 21 pasticcio Passions.
