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.)
Johannes
Brahms
(1833 – 1897)
Walzer Grazioso E-Dur (solo piano)
&
4 Songs (poems by Klaus Groth): Komm bald Es hing ein Reif Mein wundes Herz Dein blaues Auge

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.
