    Des heiligen Bernhards FreudengesangChorus I
    Oh, Jesus Christ my Lord,
    I beg Thee, do not leave me,
    for then shall I have joy
    and pleasure deep within me.
    If Thou art by my side,
    my soul shall know no dearth;
    Thy comfort doth surpass
    all sweetness of this earth.

    Chorus II
    We can but give thee praise
    with prayer and with singing;
    but they will not suffice,
    though all the world be ringing,
    nor can we fathom joys,
    wheree’er our mind may run,

    O süßer Jesu Christ,
    wer an dich recht gedenket,
    dem wird sein Herze bald

    Wer dich schon hat bei sich,

    auch alle Süßigkeit.

    Nichts kann des Menschen Zung

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.239

    Oliver Geisler
    Translation: Liz Robinson

    For “practical use”: IntroductionA glance at music history always reveals more thanjust music. For music can also be regarded as a mirroror the essence of a whole culture. Indeed, evenmore importantly, studying and listening to musicmeans learning something about societies and people.How valuable, therefore, are those works whichare all too readily labelled “Gebrauchsmusik” (functional music) and consigned to oblivion in favor ofthe compositional high points of an era. Such worksoffer a glimpse into the workshops, laboratories,studies and living rooms of a society. Churches,castles and reception rooms are beautiful and imposing, but they also dazzle – because they are alwaysdesigned to impress. Functional music is concernedwith the everyday and with “real life.” Andprecisely because of this, such works are still performed today, even if they at first appear less grand.

    Of the Zwölf geistliche Gesänge it is said thatSchütz “sketched them in his spare time.” Evidently

    Zum „nützlichen Gebrauch“: EinführungEin Blick in die Musikgeschichte lässt einen immermehr erkennen als nur Musik. Denn Musik kann auchals Spiegel oder Bündelung von Kultur insgesamt begriffenwerden. Ja mehr noch: Musik zu betrachtenund zu hören bedeutet, etwas über Gesellschaften zuerfahren und über Menschen. Wie wertvoll sind dajene Werke, die man als sogenannte „Gebrauchsmusik“allzu gern zugunsten des kompositorischen Höhenkamms einer Epoche in die Versenkung schiebt!Kann man mit ihnen doch einen Blick in die Werkstätten,Experimentierstuben, Arbeits- und Wohnzimmereiner Gesellschaft erhaschen. Kirchen, Schlösser undfestliche Säle sind schön und repräsentativ, sie blendenaber auch – weil sie immer schon auf Repräsentationangelegt sind. Gebrauchsmusiken haben etwasmit Alltag und dem „wahren Leben“ zu tun. Nicht zuletztdeshalb werden solche Werke auch heute nochgebraucht, auch wenn sie zunächst weniger glanzvoll

    Heinrich Schütz

    | 1585-1672

    Heinrich Schütz is regarded as the first German musician of European stature. As a choirboy from 1599 at the court of Landgrave Moritz of Hessen-Kassel, he received a thorough education. In 1608 he began a law degree in Marburg, but broke this off in 1609 in order, with the support of the Landgrave, to study composition with Giovanni Gabrieli, organist at St Mark’s in Venice. In 1613 Schütz returned to Kassel, but two years later was enticed away by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony to the Dresden court as “Organist und Director der Musica”, where he held the position of Hofkapellmeister (court Kapellmeister) from 1617 until his death. Schütz’s great cycles of vocal works marked the high point of his reputation in Germany and northern Europe. But these represent only part of Schütz’s output; individual works are represented in printed collections with works by other composers, others only survive in manuscript, and much has been lost. The Stuttgart Schütz Edition makes available Schütz’s complete oeuvre, and all works are also published in practical Urtext editions. Personal details
