Bellini's Nunc dimittis, or the Song of Simeon,
which
is also reflected in Johann Sebastian Bach cantata
Ich habe genug
BACH
CANTATA: ICH HABE GENUG Maike
Albrecht ~ soprano
Hans-Jurgen Schnoor~ harpsichord
Jeffrey Cohan ~ baroque flute
Soprano
Maike Albrecht and harpsichordist
Hans-Jürgen Schnoor from Lubeck, Germany
join baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan in Johann
Sebastian Bach’s cantata Ich habe genug and
other works
The church cantata Ich habe genug ("I am
content"), BWV 82 was composed in Leipzig
in 1727 for the feast Purification of Mary
and is one of the most often performed and
recorded of Bach's sacred cantatas. In
this cantata, based on the Song of Simeon,
Bach projects a feeling of serene
contentedness with life and an expression
of the experience of body and soul coming
to rest and in complete harmony beyond
anything that words alone can convey.

Joseph
Haydn
(1732 – 1809
Three English Canzonettas: The
Mermaid‘s Song (Anne Hunter) Fidelity (Anne Hunter) She never told her love (Shakespeare)
& Cantata „Arianna à Naxos“
Haydn's three English Songs are chosen from two
sets of English Canzonettas, published in London
in 1794/95, which were vastly popular in the
drawing rooms of Haydn‘s audience.
„Arianna à Naxos“ was a great musical
hit in London in 1791 and achieved wide popularity
all over the continent. The London Morning
Chronicle of February 23 noted: „The Musical World
is at this moment enraptured with a Composition
which Haydn has brought forth… Nothing is talked
of – nothing sought after but Haydn‘s Cantata… It
abounds with such a variety of dramatic
modulations – and is so exquisitely captivating in
its larmoyant passages, that it touched and
dissolved the audience… Haydn‘s Cantata will
accordingly be the musical desideratum of the
winter.“
Franz
Schubert
(1797 – 1828) Auf
dem See (Goethe) Auf dem Wasser zu singen (Friedrich Graf
Stolberg) Die Mutter Erde (Stolberg) Bertha‘s Lied in der Nacht (Franz
Grillparzer) Im Walde (Friedrich Schlegel) Suleikas erster Gesang Suleikas zweiter Gesang (Marianne von
Willemer from Goethe „West-östlicher Divan“)
Inspired by our natural wonder around the Salish
Sea, Albrecht and Schnoor have assembled a set of
„Scenic Songs“ by Schubert, focusing on songs
about nature‘s phenomena: water, earth, night and
wind in correspondence with our inner lives. This
correlation between our surroundings and our
emotions is one of the major themes in German
Romantic poetry since Goethe.)
