I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Ich danke dem Herrn von ganzem Herzen im Rat der Frommen und in der Gemeinde. Groß sind die Werke des Herren; wer ihr achtet, der hat eitel Lust dran. Was er ordnet, das ist löblich und herrlich, und seine Gerechtigkeit bleibet ewiglich. Er hat ein Gedächtnis gestift’ seiner Wunder, der gnädige und barmherzige Herr. Er gibt Speise denen, die ihn fürchten; er denket ewiglich an seinen Bund. Er lässt verkündigen seine gewaltigen Taten seinem Volk, dass er ihm gebe das Erbe der Heiden. Die Werk seiner Hände sind Wahrheit und Recht; alle seine Gebot sind rechtschaffen. Sie werden erhalten immer und ewiglich und geschehen treulich und redlich. Er sendet ein Erlösung seinem Volk; er verheißet, dass sein Bund ewiglich bleiben soll. Heilig und hehr ist sein Name. Die Furcht des Herren ist der Weisheit Anfang. Dies ist eine feine Klugheit, wer darnach tut; des Lob bleibet ewiglich.

Oliver Geisler
Translation: Elizabeth Robinson“intended for singing”
The “Psalmen Davids” and the art of consolation Heinrich Schütz was fortunate. In the years around 1600 the number of portents of the end of the world increased. And this would also naturally affect the Dresden court, even if it sometimes seemed to be in a world of its own. Constellations of stars, curious events, cometary impacts – all these happenings were rapidly broadcast through the mass media of the Baroque – pamphlets and articles. And the more frequently there were signs giving cause for concern, the nearer the predicted end approached. In the mid-16th century, 2046 was marked out as the end. But at the time when Schütz took up his post in Dresden, the year 1625 was regarded as the point in time when the ‘last trumpet’ would sound. None of this happened – as stated, he was fortunate,...

„zum singen gemeint“
Die Psalmen Davids und die Kunst des Zuspruchs Heinrich Schütz hatte Glück. In den Jahren um 1600 mehrten sich die Anzeichen für den Weltuntergang. Und der würde natürlich auch den Dresdner Hof betreffen, auch wenn dieser mitunter als eigener Kosmos erscheinen mochte. Sternenkonstellationen, kuriose Ereignisse, Kometeneinschläge – alle diese Geschehnisse verbreiteten sich rasant über die Massenmedien des Barock: Flugblätter und Sonderdrucke. Und je häufiger die besorgniserregenden Zeichen, desto näher rückte das prognostizierte Ende. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts war noch 2046 als Ende markiert. Zu jener Zeit, als Schütz in Dresden sein Amt antrat, galt das Jahr 1625 als Zeitpunkt, an dem die ‚letzte Posaune‘ erklingen würde. All das trat nicht ein – wie gesagt, er hatte Glück, aber eine Prognose bewahrheitete...

Composer
Heinrich Schütz
| 1585-1672Heinrich 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
