UMS Night School: Constructing Identity

In our ongoing Night School series, UMS explores the dynamic quality
of how human and social identities are constructed and explored in this
season’s artistic program. How do artists’ personal identities inform their
work? Do audiences’ own identities shape what they see on the stage?
UMS Night School invites participants to discover the intersections of
performance and identity in music, theater, and dance, and to meet others
who share a similar interest. The Night School curriculum will include
attendance at and discussion of Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company’s
Untitled Feminist Show & Straight White Men, Tanya Tagaq, Taylor
Mac, and Camille A. Brown & Dancers Black Girl—Linguistic Play. These
90-minute classes combine conversation, interactive exercises, and lectures
with genre experts to draw you into the themes related to identity and
performance. Drop in to just one session, or attend them all. Events are free,
and no pre-registration is required.

Tradition
Builds
the
Future

WINTER 2016

In our 137th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances
alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything
available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the
University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the
study of Handel’s Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and
conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The
Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the
University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in
December 1880.
Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the
very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally
renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz
and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical
theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new
works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we
continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

“It could almost be said that we chose to move to Ann Arbor
post-career because of UMS. Who wouldn’t want to live in a
city that can attract such talent, and fill a 3,500-seat hall with
so many enthusiastic audiences? Now, we enjoy each season
all the more because, as donors, we’re an active part of UMS.
What a privilege!”

A Passion with Passion
I. The Story (Read This Part Before
the Performance!)
This is a “dramatic presentation”
of the St. John Passion. Though we
have provided the complete libretto
and translation, we invite you to
disregard it for the next two hours,
and let yourself watch the stage
and contemplate the music. We are
singing in German but you only need
to know the following:
The setting is Jerusalem in the year
C.E. 33. A turbulent “overture” or
orchestral introduction paints a
musical picture of humanity’s distress
and chaos, and of the tumultuous
events about to unfold. We meet our
narrator — the Apostle John, also
called the Evangelist — who was Jesus’
most “beloved disciple.” John will
relay his eyewitness account of the
trial and crucifixion of Jesus.
Scene 1 takes place in the Garden
of Gethsemane in the evening. A
band of men has arrived to arrest
Jesus and take him to the High Priest
for questioning. The High Priest’s
soldiers were tipped off by Judas, the
disciple who betrayed Jesus. Jesus
is bound and led away. The scene
concludes with an aria sung by the
alto with oboes in sinuous dialogue,
4

reflecting how Jesus has been bound
and shackled in order to liberate us
from the shackles of our sins.
In Scene 2, John tells us how he (the
“beloved disciple”) and his comrade
Simon Peter followed the soldiers
to the palace and observed Jesus’
interrogation by the High Priest.
As the night grows cold, bystanders
recognize Peter as one of Jesus’
disciples. Peter denies it. By dawn,
when the cock crows, Peter has denied
Jesus three times. This had been
predicted by Jesus just 12 hours ago,
at his last supper with his disciples.
Peter is filled with remorse and cries
bitterly. The scene concludes with an
aria sung by tenor (reflecting on the
remorse that comes from sin); and a
chorale (hymn) sung by the Chorus,
asking God to teach us through our
conscience.
After intermission, the Chorus tells
us what will now unfold: Jesus will be
led before a godless throng, falsely
convicted, scorned, and spat upon, all
as the Word (the scriptures and Old
Testament prophets) had predicted.
Scene 3 is Jesus’ trial before the
Roman governor, Pilatus (in Latin) or
Pontius Pilate. The Chief Priests have
brought Jesus to Pilate for judgment,
but Pilate tells them to take him
away and judge him according to
their own laws. The priests and the
mob cry out that they do not have

the authority to do put someone to
death, since the Jews are governed by
Rome. Pilate goes into the Judgment
Hall and questions Jesus. Finding no
fault in Jesus, he returns to the mob
outside and offers to release him. But
the mob wants a different prisoner
released — Barrabas, a murderer.
Then Pilate has Jesus flogged, hoping
this will be enough to satisfy the mob.
The scene concludes with an arioso
sung by baritone (meditating on the
crown of thorns that will pierce Jesus’
head, which will bear Heaven-scented
flowers, a precious gift for us) and an
aria sung by tenor, contemplating the
image of Jesus’ blood-spattered body
as a rainbow of hope in the Heavens.
In Scene 4, the soldiers in the
Judgment Hall dress the flogged Jesus
in the crown of thorns and a purple
robe. Pilate brings Jesus outside to the
crowd, again saying that he finds no
fault in him. The priests and the mob
cry, “Crucify him!” The exasperated
Pilate tells them to take Jesus if they
want, repeating that he himself finds
no fault in him. The crowd replies that
Jesus must perish as he claimed to be
the Son of God. Pilate is frightened
by the mob’s fury. He returns into the
Judgment Hall again to ask Jesus,
“Where are you from?” He begs Jesus
to answer so that he can help him.
Jesus replies only that Pilate has no
power to help him — true power comes
from above. Pilate tries to find a way
to release Jesus. The mob outside tells
Pilate that if he releases Jesus, he
is going against Caesar, since Jesus
made himself a King. Pilate brings
Jesus out again and the crowd again
cries, “Crucify him!” Finally Pilate
delivers Jesus to be crucified. Jesus
is led away, bearing his own cross to

the Place of Skulls (Golgatha). The
scene concludes with an aria for bass,
calling us all as the people of God
to run to Golgatha where salvation
awaits us.
Scene 5 is the crucifixion and death
of Jesus. Pilate writes an inscription
that is placed on the cross: “Jesus
of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” The
crowd wants Pilate to change it to
indicate that Jesus is the one who
said he was their Lord. Pilate has had
enough of the mob and tells them,
“What I have written shall be as I have
written.” Then the soldiers cast lots
for Jesus’ clothes — this is a wild and
greedy race of words by the Chorus. In
his final hour, Jesus sees his mother
Mary standing by, as well as “the
beloved disciple” (John). He asks John
to care for Mary as his own mother.
Then Jesus says, “It is fulfilled.” This
is followed by a contemplative aria
sung by alto, with a plaintive viola da
gamba solo. Jesus breathes his last,
and then an aria for bass and chorus
reflects on the hope that Jesus’ death
gives us: Are we now free from Death,
because Jesus died for us?
In the short Scene 6, Nature
responds violently to Jesus’ death: the
veil of the temple is rent in two, the
earth is shaken and graves are opened
up. A short reflective arioso for
tenor contemplates the frightening
earthquake. The scene concludes
with a sorrowful aria for soprano,
lamenting Jesus’ death.
In Scene 7, John describes the burial
of Jesus. The Chorus lays Jesus to rest
by singing the beautiful and famous
“Ruht wohl” (Rest well, my beloved,
be fully at peace). A brief epilogue by
the Chorus contemplates the mystical
hope in Jesus’s death and the ecstatic
5

joy we will find in our own death, as
we will be reunited with our Savior
whom we praise eternally.
II. The Music
Bach Composes a Daring New
Masterpiece
Last Saturday at noon, four wagons
arrived here from Cöthen laden with
the household effects belonging to the
former Kapellmeister at the court of the
Prince of that place who has now been
invited to become Cantor in Leipzig. At
two o’clock he himself arrived with his
and moved into the newly-renovated
residence at the Thomasschule.

Thus, as the Leipzig press reported,
did Bach and his family begin a
new life in 1723. There are few
musicians today who would give
up a comfortable, well-paid post
as resident musician to a Prince in
exchange for a difficult and enormous
church job. The fact that Johann
Sebastian Bach decided in 1723 to
trade his pleasant palace-musician
post in Cöthen for the job of Kantor at
Leipzig says much about the beliefs
that shaped his life. The Leipzig
position was a step downwards on the
social scale, and it involved an almost
insurmountable workload: composing,
directing, and performing a new
cantata every Sunday, assembling
and directing an orchestra every
week, teaching the boys’ choir at the
Thommasschule, and even teaching
non-musical subjects such as Latin.
There can be only one reason why
Bach took this position: he wanted to
compose sacred music.
Bach was a profoundly religious
man, famous for such comments
6

in his keyboard teaching as, “the
aim and final reason of the basso
continuo, as of all music, should be
none else but the glory of God and the
refreshing of the mind.” In Leipzig he
immediately set to work, composing
inspired cantatas that brought worlds
of artistry to the contemplation
of the traditional scriptures. His
cantatas during Lent during that first
year introduced new and dramatic
elements, preparing his congregation
to hear the groundbreaking
masterpiece he was to unveil on
Good Friday in 1724: his first major
Passion-Oratorio, the St. John Passion.
The Passion-Oratorio as a genre
was by no means invented by Bach,
although his Passions are the most
widely known today. Musical settings
of the Christian Passion story were
common already in the Middle
Ages, and the Passion developed
into its Lutheran form during the
17th century. Martin Luther was an
extraordinarily passionate musiclover, and was responsible for
giving music a position of supreme
importance in the Lutheran service.
Luther expressed his feeling about
music in his characteristically
forthright way:
Music is a fair and lovely gift of God. Next
to the Word of God, only music deserves to
be extolled as the governess of the feeling
of the human heart. This precious gift has
been bestowed on men alone to remind
them that they are created to praise and
magnify the Lord. He who does not find
this an inexpressible miracle of the Lord
is truly a clod and is not worthy to be
considered a man. (Author's bolding)

In Bach’s time, Passions were
composed by most of the leading
musicians, including Telemann and
Handel. And yet, their Passions have
never made the impact on listeners
that Bach’s have. Bach’s profound
spiritual depth rings through his
music in a way that transcends the
compositions of his contemporaries.
The Passion form, as it had evolved
by Bach’s time, was an oratorio
intended as part of the Good Friday
worship service. A sermon would have
taken place between Parts 1 and 2
(but you may be pleased to know that
we are giving you an intermission
instead). The music consists of
recitatives narrating the Passion story
verbatim from the Bible — in this case
the Gospel of John — interspersed with
arias and chorales set to contemporary
(18th-century) religious poetry,
reflecting on the Biblical passage
just heard. Thus, sacred texts are
interlaced with contemporary, more
directly emotional material that
speaks to the listeners in a universal
way. (In fact, this concept has served
as my own inspiration in creating
two spiritual crossover programs
for Apollo’s Fire: Sacrum Mysterium
— A Celtic Christmas Vespers and
Sephardic Journey — Wanderings of
the Spanish Jews.)
In Bach’s Passions, the Biblical
narration is performed by “the
Evangelist” (i.e. St. John), while the
dialogue spoken by Jesus, Peter, and
Pilate is set as recitatives for solo
singers stepping out of the chorus.
Dialogue spoken by various groups
of Chief Priests, crowds, etc., is
sung by the chorus. A Bach Passion
alternates between “action scenes”
(where the Biblical story is relayed

by the Evangelist-narrator and the
characters), and contemplative arias
and chorales (where we step outside
of the story to reflect on the lessons
to be learned as people of God). In our
performance, I have tried to highlight
the structure by placing the action
scenes in the hands of true singing
actors, who emerge in special spots on
the stage to embody their roles.
It is not known for certain who
compiled the 18th-century text
that serves as the basis of the arias
and chorales (as well as the opening
chorus “Lord, our Master” and the
closing chorus “Rest well”) in the St.
John Passion, but it is quite possible
that Bach did this himself. In any
case, most of the text is drawn from
the widely-used Passion text by
Heinrich Brockes, which was also
set by Handel and Telemann. It is
noteworthy, however, that Bach
made significant changes in the
text to remove blatantly antiSemitic passages. (The Brockes
text essentially blames the Jews for
Jesus’ crucifixion, whereas Bach’s
St. John Passion text clearly places
the guilt on each of us as sinners.
This was also Luther’s view.) Since
anti-Semitism was, unfortunately, a
socially acceptable phenomenon in
18th-century Europe, I conclude that
Bach made these changes not out of
fear of controversy, but rather out of a
desire to create a Passion on a higher
spiritual level.
The St. John Passion is the work
of a 39-year-old man and is filled
with the extroverted emotions and
daring of a great composer still in
experimentation with this genre.
This is a strikingly compressed telling
of the Passion story; unlike the
7

St. Matthew Passion, which
luxuriates in an expansive and
contemplative meditation on the
Passion tale, St. John plunges us into
a dramatic whirlwind of events from
the very first recitative. This leads to
a much more intense experience of
the Crucifixion, in which the music
serves as a counterpoint to the action.
Particularly striking is the way in
which the most tragic events are
associated with triumphant music,
such as the middle section of “Es ist
vollbracht” (It is fulfilled), in which
Christ is portrayed as a hero in battle.
If the St. Matthew is the Passion of
grandeur, St. John is the Passion
with passion.
From the first swirling notes of the
orchestral introduction, it is clear that
Bach is taking us closer to opera than
any of his church-music colleagues
had dared to tread. The turbulent
accompaniment paints a vivid picture
of the events that are about to unfold.
As with an operatic overture, we are
drawn into the drama: the relentless,
pulsating bass-line, like a beating
heart, sets the stage for passion and
terror. The surging motion in the
violins evokes the chaos of the mob
we will soon meet. And above it all, the
long and anguished calls of the flutes
and oboes lock in painful dissonances,
like nails being driven into flesh.
This introduction builds up to the
entrance of the chorus, which arrives
with a surprising twist. Instead of
the words of lamentation which the
music has led us to expect — and
which an 18th-century audience
expected to hear in the Passions of
the time — Bach gives us a song of
praise to the universal reign of Christ:
“O Lord, our Master, how excellent
8

is thy name in all the earth!” Thus
Bach boldly breaks the baroque rule
of Affekt, which normally decrees
that each movement of a piece
will have one particular emotional
character. Instead, we have two
Affekts simultaneously, as Christ’s
glory and majesty are proclaimed,
while Christ himself is looking down
on the maelstrom of distressed
humanity below. This stark duality
runs through the Gospel of John: light
and darkness, good and evil, truth and
falsehood. Christ lifts up his cross in
glory and draws all mankind to him
— and yet he is also brought to the
lowest of physical abasement, for the
sake of humanity.
From there unfolds a drama of an
intense and often mystical nature.
I see the work as falling into seven
Scenes (though they are not indicated
by Bach) — two in the first half
and five after intermission. Each
scene propels the story forward and
concludes with a reflective aria in
which a singer steps out of the story
to contemplate what we as the people
of the God can learn from this scene.
Bach’s use of the instruments at his
disposal is colorful and often pungent.
Plaintive oboes describe the shackles
of our bondage to sin. Lighthearted
flutes illustrate how Simon Peter
(and all of us) follows Jesus with
faithful footsteps. The full orchestra
participates in the outcry of remorse
at the end of Part 1, when Peter is
filled with anguish for having denied
his Savior. A lonely and haunting viola
da gamba — a relatively rare guest
in Bach’s orchestra — depicts Jesus’
battle with death in the famous “Es
ist vollbracht.” And the other-worldly
combination of flute and oboe da

caccia accompanies the evening’s one
true lament, “Zerflesse mein herz”
(Dissolve in tears, my heart!)
It is an honor for those of us
onstage to take this spiritual journey
each evening. Our company of artists
(including people of many faiths,
as well as agnostics) feel privileged
to share Bach’s masterpiece with
audiences in this tour and as we
record the work for CD/DVD release.
Our wish is that our concert halls and
church venues will ring with Bach’s
message of hope and redemption.
III. The Text
The Gospel of John — Text for a
Mystical and Passionate Passion
Bach chose the most “difficult” and
mystical of the four Gospels — the
Gospel According to St. John — for his
first Passion. This is the Gospel that
begins with the famous prologue, “In
the beginning was the Word [Logos,
cosmic reason], and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God….
In Him was life, and the life was the
light of men. And the light shines in
the darkness and the darkness did not
comprehend it.” (John 1:1, 4-5)
Chapter 21 of John’s Gospel states
that this account is the eyewitness
testimony of “the disciple whom
Jesus loved.” The “beloved disciple”
was traditionally thought to be the
Apostle John — one of the 12 Apostles.
John’s personal and emotional
responses to the unfolding events
color Bach’s Passion throughout.
The “beloved disciple” — that is, the
Evangelist who is narrating our story
— witnesses Jesus’ interrogation by
the High Priest; speaks privately to
the doorkeeper in order to get his

comrade Peter into the palace; and
is then shocked by Peter’s denial of
Jesus, horrified by the behavior of
the mob at the trial before the Roman
governor (Pilatus or Pontius Pilate),
and appalled when they chose to
free a common murderer rather than
freeing Jesus. John’s double role as
narrator and character culminates
when Jesus, in his final hour, gives his
mother into the care of the “beloved
disciple who was standing by.” In
our production, this is the moment
when the Evangelist breaks out of
his narrator role to look directly at
his beloved Teacher, dying on the
cross — and we feel the profound love
between them.
Though modern scholarship holds
that the Gospel of John was written
by several people, in Bach’s time it
was still believed that the Apostle
John was the author. Bach chose to
end the final recitative of the St. John
Passion with John’s statement about
the purpose of his book: “that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God and that believing, you
may have life in his name.” Yes, John
was an Evangelist.
The book of John arose in a
Jewish Christian community in the
process of breaking from the Jewish
synagogue. It regularly describes
Jesus’ opponents simply as “the
Jews.” In later centuries, the book
was unfortunately used to support
anti-Semitic polemics. However,
it is important to understand that
the author(s) of the gospel regarded
himself/themselves as Jews,
championed Jesus and his followers
as Jews, and probably wrote for a
largely Jewish community.

IV. The Sources
Bach performed the St. John Passion
four times during his life: 1724, 1725,
about 1730, and sometime in the
late 1740’s. For each performance he
made changes to the score; thus there
is no definitive version. In the fourth
performance, however, he returned to
the original 1724 version, and since
this seems to have been his final view
of the work, this is the version we
are performing. (The only exception
is the “veil of the temple” recitative
no. 33, for which we are using the
more flamboyant version from 1725).
The two scholarly editions of this
work, the Bach Gesellschaft and the
Neue Bach Ausgabe, differ in their
interpretation of many ambivalences
in the surviving performing parts,
especially in the interpretation of
slurs which are notoriously unclear
in Bach’s manuscripts. Rather than
choosing one edition as sole authority
over the other, I have considered
both and have made artistic choices
with the goals of musical coherence
and faithfulness to Bach’s surviving
manuscript material.

Therefore Judas, having gathered a body
of men, whom the Chief Priests and the
Pharisees had sent him, now cometh forth
with torches, lanterns and with weapons.
Therefore Jesus knowing all things, that
were to come upon him, went straightway

und der Knecht hieß Malchus. Da sprach
Jesus zu Petro:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. So that the word might be
fulfilled which He had spoken: Of those
that thou gavest to me, not one have I lost,
not one. Then Simon Peter, having a sword,
he drew it out, and struck at the High
Priest’s serving man, and cut off his right
ear; and his name was Malchus. Then said
Jesus to Peter:

JESUS. Stecke dein Schwert in die Scheide!
Soll ich den Kelch nicht trinken, den mir

had told the Jews that it was good that one
man should die for all the people.

Reflection:
ARIE – Ms. Dubenion-Smith
Von den Stricken meiner Sünden

Wird mein Heil gebunden.

ARIA – Ms. Dubenion-Smith
From the shackles of my sinfulness,
To liberate me,
They have bound my Savior.

And draw me to Thee,
Move me, entreat me.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Derselbige Jünger war
dem Hohenpriester bekannt und ging
mit Jesu hinein in des Hohenpriesters
Palast. Petrus aber stund draußen für der
Tür. Da ging der andere Jünger, der dem
Hohenpriester bekannt war, hinaus und
redete mit der Türhüterin und führete
Petrum hinein. Da sprach die Magd, die
Türhüterin, zu Petro:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. That other disciple was
known unto the High Priest and went with
Jesus within, to the palace of the High
Priest. Simon Peter stood outside before
the door. Then that other disciple, who was
known unto the High Priest, went out and
spoke unto her that tended the door and
brought Peter also within. Then said the
maid that tended the door to Peter:

ANCILLA (MAGD). Bist du nicht dieses
Menschen Jünger einer?

ANCILLA (MAID). Art thou not also one of
His disciples?

EVANGELIST. Er sprach:

EVANGELIST. He said:

PETRUS. Ich bin’s nicht!

PETER. I am not!

EVANGELIST. Es stunden aber die Knechte
und Diener und hatten ein Kohlfeu’r
gemacht (denn es war kalt) und wärmeten
sich. Petrus aber stund bei ihnen und
wärmete sich. Aber die Hohepriester
fragte Jesum um seine Jünger und um
seine Lehre. Jesus antwortete ihm:

EVANGELIST. The officers and the
servants stood there having made a fire
of coals (for it was cold) and warmed
themselves. Peter also stood among them
and warmed himself. Then did the High
Priest question Jesus of His disciples and
of His doctrine. Jesus answered him:

JESUS. Ich habe frei, öffentlich geredet für
der Welt. Ich habe allezeit gelehret in der
Schule und in dem Tempel, da alle Jüden
zusammenkommen, und habe nichts im
Verborgnen geredt. Was fragest du mich
darum? Frage die darum, die gehöret
haben, was ich zu ihnen geredet habe!
Siehe, dieselbigen wissen, was ich gesagt
habe.

JESUS. I always spoke openly and freely to
the world. And in the synagogue I often did
my teaching and in the temple, to which the
people always come together, and have said
nothing in secret at all. Why do you ask this
of me? Rather ask of them who have heard
my teaching what sort of thing it was I told
them! See now, they surely remember the
whole of what I taught them.

EVANGELIST. Als er aber solches redete,
gab der Diener einer, die dabei stunden,
Jesu einen Backenstreich und sprach:

EVANGELIST. And when Jesus thus had
spoken, an officer who was standing near
struck Him with the palm of his hand and
said:

SERVUS (DIENER). Solltest du dem
Hohenpriester also antworten?

SERVANT. Dost thou dare to give the High
Priest such an answer?

14

EVANGELIST. Jesus aber antwortete:

EVANGELIST. Jesus therefore said unto him:

JESUS. Hab ich übel geredt, so beweise es,
daß es böse sei, hab ich aber recht geredt,
was schlägest du mich?

JESUS. If ‘twas evil I spoke bear thou
witness unto my evil words, but if I have
spoken well, why smitest thou me?

CHORAL
Wer hat dich so geschlagen,
Mein Heil, und dich mit Plagen
So übel zugericht’?
Du bist ja nicht ein Sünder
Wie wir und unsre Kinder,
Von Missetaten weißt du nicht.

CHORALE
Who was it, Lord, did strike Thee,
Thy good with ill requite Thee,
So foully treated Thee?
For Thou wert no offender,
Nor didst to sin surrender;
From evil Thou wert ever free.

Ich, ich und meine Sünden,
Die sich wie Körnlein finden
Des Sandes an dem Meer,
Die haben dir erreget
Das Elend, das dich schläget,
Und das betrübte Marterheer.

My sins and evildoing
Are like the sands bestrewing
The mighty ocean’s shore.
These sins it was that brought Thee
Thy misery, and wrought Thee
The host of torments that Thou bore.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und Hannas sandte ihn
gebunden zu dem Hohenpriester Kaiphas.
Simon Petrus stund und wärmete sich; da
sprachen sie zu ihm:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Now Annas sent Jesus bound
to the High Priest Caiphas. Simon Peter
stood and warmed himself; then said they
unto Him:

CHOR
Bist du nicht seiner Jünger einer?

CHORUS
Art thou not one of his disciples?

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Er leugnete aber und sprach:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. But Peter denied it and said:

PETRUS. Ich bin’s nicht!

PETER. I am not!

EVANGELIST. Spricht des Hohenpriesters
Knecht’ einer, ein Gefreundter des, dem
Petrus das Ohr abgehauen hatte:

EVANGELIST. Then said one of the High
Priest’s servants, being kinsman to that
servant whose ear Peter had cut off:

DIENER. Sahe ich dich night im Garten bei
ihm?

SERVANT. Did I not see you in the garden
with him?

15

EVANGELIST. Da verleugnete Petrus
abermal, und alsobald krähete der Hahn.
Da gedachte Petrus an die Worte Jesu und
ging hinaus und weinete bitterlich.

EVANGELIST. Then did Peter deny a third
time, and immediately did the cock crow.
Then did Peter call to mind the words of
Jesus and he went out and wept bitterly.

Reflections:
ARIE – Mr. Phan
Ach, mein Sinn,
Wo willt du endlich hin,
Wo soll ich mich erquicken?
Bleib ich hier,
Oder wunsch ich mir
Berg und Hügel auf den Rücken?
Bei der Welt ist gar kein Rat,
Und im Herzen stehn die Schmerzen
Meiner Miessetat,
Weil der Knecht den Herrn verleugnet hat.

ARIA – Mr. Phan
Ah, my soul,
How futile is thy goal,
Where may contentment find thee?
Shall I stay,
Shall I go away,
And leave the hills behind me?
Earth no peace doth me afford,
Ever ruing my wrong-doing,
Evil deeds abhorred,
Since the servant has denied his Lord.

CHORAL
Petrus, der nicht denkt zurück,
Seinen Gott verneinet,
Der doch auf ein’ ersten Blick
Bitterlichen weinet.
Jesu, blicke mich auch an,
Wenn ich nicht will büßen;
Wenn ich Böses hab getan,
Rühre mein Gewissen!

CHORALE
Peter, while his conscience slept,
Thrice denied his Savior.
When it woke he bitter wept
At his base behavior.
Jesus let me not forget,
True allegiance teach me;
When on evil I am set,
Through my conscience reach me.

Intermission

Part II
CHORAL
Christus, der uns selig macht,
Kein Bös’ hat begangen,
Der ward für uns in der Nacht
Als ein Dieb gefangen,
Gefürht für gottlose Leut
Und fälschlich verklaget,
Verlacht, verhöhnt und verspeit,
Wie denn die Schrift saget.

16

CHORALE
Christ, who knew no sin or wrong,
Like a thief was taken;
Led before a godless throng,
By His friends forsaken.
He, who our salvation won,
Falsely was convicted,
Scoffed at, scorned and spat upon,
As the Word predicted.

Scene 3: Interrogation by Pilate
REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da fürheten sie Jesum
von Kaiphas vor das Richthaus, und
es war frühe. Und sie gingen nicht in
das Richthaus, auf daß sie nicht unrein
würden, sondern Ostern essen möchten.
Da ging Pilatus zu ihnen heraus und
sprach:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Then led they Jesus away,
from Caiphas to the Judgment Hall, and
it was early. And they went not into the
Judgment Hall lest they should become
unclean, but that they might eat the
Passover. Then Pontius Pilate went out
unto them and said:

PILATUS. Was bringet ihr für Klage wider
diesen Menschen?

PILATE. What accusation bring ye against
this man?

EVANGELIST. Sie antworteten und
sprachen zu ihm:

EVANGELIST. And they answered and said
unto him:

CHOR
Wäre diser nicht ein Übeltäter, wir hätten
dir ihn nicht überantwortet.

CHORUS
If this man were not an evildoer we would
not bring him here, no, no, not bring him
before thee.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da sprach Pilatus zu ihnen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Then Pilate said unto them:

PILATUS. So nehmet ihr ihn hin und
richtet ihn nach eurem Gesetze!

PILATE. Then take him away and judge
Him according to your laws.

EVANGELIST. Da sprachen die Jüden zu
ihm:

EVANGELIST. The Jews therefore said
unto him:

CHOR
Wir dürfen nieman töten.

CHORUS
By death we may not punish.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Auf daß erfüllet würde das
Wort Jesu, welches er sagte, da er deutete,
welches Todes er sterben würde. Da ging
Pilatus wieder hinein in das Richthaus und
rief Jesu und sprach zu ihm:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. So that might be fulfilled the
word of Jesus, which He had spoken, which
did signify by what manner of death He
should die: Then Pilate entered into the Hall
and again he called in Jesus and said to him:

PILATUS. Bist du der Jüden König?

PILATE. Art Thou the King of the Jews?

EVANGELIST. Jesus antwortete:

EVANGELIST. Jesus then answered him:

17

JESUS. Redest du das von dir selbst, oder
haben’s dir andere von mir gesagt?

JESUS. Do you say this of yourself, or have
others been saying this to you of me?

EVANGELIST. Pilatus antwortete:

EVANGELIST. And Pilate thus answered him:

PILATUS. Bin ich ein Jüde? Dein Volk
und die Hohenpriester haben dich mir
überantwortet; was hast du getan?

PILATE. Am I a Jew? Thy people and Thy
Chief Priests have brought Thee here for
judgment before me; what hast Thou done?

EVANGELIST. Jesus antwortete:

EVANGELIST. And Jesus answered him:

JESUS. Mein Reich ist nicht von dieser
Welt; wäre mein Reich von dieser Welt,
meine Diener würden darob kämpfen, daß
ich den Jüden nicht überantwortet würde;
aber nun ist mein Reich nicht von dannen.

JESUS. My kingdom is not of this World;
for were my Kingdom of this World, then
my servants all would fight in battle, that
I not be delivered unto the rabble; no then,
for not from here is my kingdom.

CHORAL
Ach großer König, groß zu allen Zeiten,
Wie kann ich gnugsam diese Treu
ausbreiten?
Kein’s Menschen Herze mag indes
ausdenken,
Was dir zu schenken.

CHORALE
O mighty King, renowned and great
forever,
To tell Thy kindness is a vain endeavor.
How may this mortal heart contrive to
show Thee
How much I owe Thee?

Ich kann’s mit meinen Sinen nicht erreichen,
Womit doch dein Erbarmen zu vergliechen.
Wie kann ich dir denn deine Liebestaten
Im Werk erstatten?

My feeble tongue and fancy cannot fashion
A fitting counterpart to Thy compassion.
How can I hope to pay Thy benefaction
By worthy action?

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And Pilate said unto Him:

PILATUS. So bist du dennoch ein König?

PILATE. Art Thou in truth then a King?

EVANGELIST. Jesus antwortete:

EVANGELIST. Jesus answered him:

JESUS. Du sagst’s bin ich ein König. Ich bin
dazu geborren und in die Welt kommen,
daß ich die Wahrzeit zeugen soll. Wer aus
der Wahrheit ist, der höret meine Stimme.

JESUS. You say, I am a king. To this was I
born, for this have I come here that I bear
witness to the truth. And all who seek the
truth, they all will hear my voice.

EVANGELIST. Sprich Pilatus zu ihm:

EVANGELIST. Then said Pilate to Him:

PILATUS. Was ist Wahrheit?

PILATE. What is truth?

18

EVANGELIST. Und da er das gesaget, ging
er wieder hinaus zu den Jüden und sprich
zu ihnen:

EVANGELIST. And when he thus had
spoken, he went out once again to the
people and said to them:

PILATUS. Ich finde keine Schuld an ihm.
Ihr habt aber eine Gewohnheit, daß ich
euch einen losgebe; wollt ihr nun, daß ich
euch der Jüden König losgebe?

PILATE. I find in him no fault at all. But ye
have a custom at Passover that one man I
should release to you; would ye then, that I
should release the King of the Jews?

EVANGELIST. Da schrieen sie wieder
allesamt und sprachen:

EVANGELIST. Then cried they together all
again and said:

CHOR
Nicht diesen, sondern Barrabam!

CHORUS
Not this one, give us Barrabas!

Reflections:
REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Barrabam aber war ein
Mörder. Da nahm Pilatus Jesum und
geißelte ihn.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Barrabas was a common
murderer. Then Pilate brought out Jesus
and scourged Him.

Scene 4: The Condemnation of Jesus
ARIOSO – Mr. Strauss
Betrachte, meine Seel, mit ängstlichem
Vergnugen,
Mit bittrer Lust und halb beklemmtem
Herzen,
Dein höchstes Gut in Jesu Schmerzen,
Wie dir aus Dornen,
so ihn stechen,
Die Himmelsschlüsselblumen blühn!
Du kannst viel süße Frucht
Von seiner Wermut brechen,
Drum sieh ohn’ Unterlaß auf ihn.

ARIOSO – Mr. Strauss
Consider, my soul, in agony
and rapture,
Although with woe thy heart below and
languish,
Thy precious gift was Jesus’ anguish,
For thee the thorn-crown that does pierce
Him,
With Heaven-scented flowers will bloom.
You can the sweetest fruit
Among his wormwood gather,
So look unceasingly to Him.

ARIE – Mr. Phan
Erwäge, wie sein blutgefärber Rücken
In allen Stücken
Dem Himmel gleiche geht.

ARIA – Mr. Phan
Imagine that his blood-bespattered body
In every member
Is part of Heaven above.

19

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und die Kriegsknechte
flochten eine Krone von Dornen und
satzen sie auf sein Haupt und legten ihm
Purpurkleid an und sprachen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. The soldiers then did make
for Him a crown of thorns and put it upon
His head and laid on Him a purple robe and
said:

CHOR
Sei gegrüßet, lieber Jüdenkönig!

CHORUS
Lo, we hail Thee, dearest King of the Jews!

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und gaben ihm
Backenstreiche. Da ging Pilatus wieder
heraus und sprach zu ihnen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And struck Him with their
hands. Again came Pilate forth from the
Hall and said to them:

PILATUS. Sehet, ich fürhe ihn heraus
zu euch, daß ihr erkennet, daß ich keine
Schuld an ihm finde.

PILATE. See ye, I now will bring Him forth
to you that you may know that I find no
fault in Him.

EVANGELIST. Also ging Jesus heraus und
trug eine Dornenkrone und Purpurkleid.
Und er sprach zu ihnen:

EVANGELIST. And then did Jesus come
forth wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple robe. Pilate said to them:

PILATUS. Sehet, welch ein Mensch!

PILATE. See ye, behold the man!

EVANGELIST. Da ihn die Hohenpriester
und die Diener sahen, schrieen sie und
sprachen:

EVANGELIST. Now therefore when the
priests and officers saw it, they cried out
and said:

CHOR
Kreuzige, kreuzige!

CHORUS
Crucify, crucify!

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Pilatus sprach zu ihnen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Then Pilate said to them:

PILATUS. Nehmet ihr ihn hin und kreuziget
ihn; denn ich finde keine Schuld an ihm!

PILATE. Take Him if you want, and crucify
Him; for I find no fault in Him!

EVANGELIST. Die Jüden antworteten ihm:

EVANGELIST. The people then answered him:

CHOR
Wir haben ein Gesetz, und nach dem
Gesetz soll er sterben; denn er hat sich
selbst zu Gottes Sohn gemacht.

CHORUS
We have a sacred law, and who breaks this
law, he must perish. For he made Himself
to be the Son of God!

20

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da Pilatus das Wort hörete,
fürchtet’ er sich noch mehr und ging
wieder hinein in das Richthaus und spricht
zu Jesu:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Now when Pilate heard
what was spoken, he was the more afraid
and went up once again to the Judgment
Hall and said to Jesus:

PILATUS. Von wannen bist du?

PILATE. From whence then art Thou?

EVANGELIST. Aber Jesus gab ihm keine
Antwort. Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm:

EVANGELIST. But Jesus gave to him no
answer. Then Pilate said unto Him:

PILATUS. Redest du nicht mit mir? Weißest
du nicht, daß ich Macht habe, dich zu
kreuzigen, und Macht habe, dich loszugeben?

PILATE. Speakest Thou not to me? Knowest
Thou not, that I have the power to crucify
you, and also the power to release you?

EVANGELIST. Jesus antwortete:

EVANGELIST. Jesus then answered him:

JESUS. Du hättest keine Macht über
mich, wenn sie dir nicht wäre von oben
herab gegeben; darum, der mich dir
überantwortet hat, der hat’s größ’re Sünde.

JESUS. No power could you have over me,
had this power not from above unto thee
been given; therefore, he who delivered me
unto you is the greater sinner.

EVANGELIST. Von dem an trachtete
Pilatus, wie er ihn losliebe.

EVANGELIST. From thenceforth Pilate
sought occasion how he might release him.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Die Jüden aber schrieen und
sprachen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. The people cried out unto
Pilate:

CHOR
Lässest du diesen los, so bist du des Kaisers
Freund nicht; denn wer sich zum Könige
machet, der ist wider den Kaiser.

CHORUS
If thou let this man go, then thou art no
friend of Caesar. For, whoever maketh
himself a king is foe unto Caesar.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da Pilatus das Wort hörete,
fürhete er Jesum heraus, und setzte sich
auf den Richtstuhl, an der Stätte, die da
heißet: Hochpflaster, auf Ebräisch aber:
Gabbatha. Es war aber der Rüsstag in
Ostern um die sechste Stunde, und er
spricht zu den Jüden:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Now when Pilate heard
what was spoken, straightway brought
he Jesus forth, and sat in the Seat of
Judgment, in a place that is called High
Pavement, but in Hebrew: Gabbatha. And it
was the preparation of the Passover, about
the sixth hour; and he said to the people:

PILATUS. Sehet, das ist euer König!

PILATE. See ye, behold, here is your King!

21

EVANGELIST. Sie schrieen aber:

EVANGELIST. They cried out:

CHOR
Weg, weg mit dem, kreuzige ihn!

CHORUS
Away with him, away, crucify Him!

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Spricht Pilatus zu ihnen:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. Pilate said unto them:

PILATUS. Soll ich euren König kreuzigen?

PILATE. Would ye have your King be
crucified?

EVANGELIST. Die Hohenpriester
antwortetn:

EVANGELIST. The Chief Priests answered
and said to him:

CHOR
Wir haben keinen König denn den Kaiser.

CHORUS
King, King, we have no King but Caesar!

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Da überantwortete er ihn,
daß er gekrueziget würde. Sie nahmen
aber Jesum und fürheten ihn hin. Und er
trug sein Kreuz und ging hinaus zur Stätte,
die da heißet Schädelstätt, welch heißet
auf Ebräisch: Golgatha.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. The Pilate delivered Him to
them, that they might crucify Him. They
therefore took Jesus and led Him away. And
He bore His cross, and went from there to
a place which is called the Place of Skulls,
which is in the Hebrew tongue: Golgatha.

Reflection:
ARIE – Mr. Blumberg / CHOR
Eilt, ihr angefochtnen Seelen,
Geht aus euren Marterhöhlen,
Eilt - Wohin? - nach Golgatha!

ARIA – Mr. Blumberg / CHORUS
Come, ye souls whom care oppresses,
Leave your troubles’ dark recesses,
Come to Golgatha.

Nehmet an der Glaubens Flügel,
Flieht - Wohin? - zum Kruezeshügel,
Eure Wolfahrt blüht allda!

Take the wings of faith to bear you,
Fly, fly, His cross to carry.
Happiness awaits you there!

CHOR: Wohin?

CHORUS: Oh where?

22

Scene 5: The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Allda kreuzigten sie ihn,
und mit ihm zween andere zu beiden
Seiten, Jesum aber mitten inne. Pilatus
aber schreib eine Überschrift und satze
sie auf das Kreuz, und war geschrieben:
>
Diese Überschrift lasen viel Jüden, denn
die Stätte war nahe bei der Stadt, da jesus
gekrueuziget ist. Und es war geschrieben
auf ebräische, griechische und lateinische
Sprache. Da sprachen die Hohenpriester
der Jüden zu Pilato:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And there crucified they
Him, and with Him two others, one on
either side, and Jesus in the midst. Then
did Pilate write an inscription and put it
upon the Cross; and there was written:
“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
This inscription was read by many people,
for the city was nigh unto the place where
Jesus was crucified. And these words were
written in the Hebrew, the Greek and the
Latin tongue. Then said the Chief Priests
of the Jews unto Pilate:

CHOR
Schreibe nicht: der Jüden König, sondern
daß er gesaget habe: >

CHORUS
Do not write there that he was King of
Israel, rather that he himself has said this:
“I am their Lord and Master.”

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Pilatus antwortet:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And Pilate thus answered:

PILATUS. Was ich geschrieben habe, das
habe ich geschrieben.

PILATE. What I myself have written, shall
be as I have written.

CHORAL
In meines Herzens Grunde,
Dein Nam und Kreuz allein
Funkelt all Zeit und Stunde,
Drauf kann ich fröhlich sein.
Erschein mir in dem Bilde
Zu trost in meiner Not,
Wie du, Herr Christ, so milde,
Dich hast geblut’ zu Tod.

CHORALE
Within my heart’s recesses
There sparkles bright Thy Name,
My spirit glad rejoices
To see its steady flame.
When dreaded death is near me,
With all its dark distress,
Thy Cross, dear Lord,
Will cheer me and ease its bitterness.

23

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Die Kriegsknechte aber, da
sie Jesum gekrueuziget hatten, nahmen
seine Kleider und machten vier Teile,
einem jeglichen Kriegesknechte sein Teil,
dazu auch den Rock. Der Rock aber war
ungenahet, von oben an gewürket durch
und durch. Da sprachen sie untereinander:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. The soldiers therefore after
thus they had crucified Jesus, laid hold of
His garments, and made of them four parts,
to each of the soldiers there a part, and also
His coat. Now Jesus’ coat was without seam,
from top to bottom woven through and
through. They said therefore one to another:

CHOR
Lasset uns den nicht zerteilen, sondern
darum losen, wess er sein soll.

CHORUS
Let us not divide it, no, no, but rather let us
gamble. Let’s throw lots for it! Let us not
divide it but rather gamble to determine
whose it shall be.

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Auf daß erfüllet würde
die Schrift, die da saget: Sie haben meine
Kleider unter sich geteilet und haben über
meinen Rock das Los geworfen. Solches
taten die Kreigesknechte. Es stund aber
bei dem Kreuze Jesu seine Mutter und
seiner Mutter Schwester, Maria, Kleophas
Weib, und Maria Magdalena. Da nun Jesus
seine Mutter sage und den Jünger dabei
stehen, den er lieb hatte, spricht er zu
seiner Mutter:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. So that the scripture might be
fulfilled, which is written: “They portioned
out my raiment equally among them, and
also over my vesture did they cast lots.”
These things therefore the soldiers did. Now
standing beside the cross of Jesus was His
mother and his mother’s sister, and Mary,
Cleophas’ wife, also Mary Magdalena. Now
when Jesus saw His mother near Him and the
disciple standing by whom He loved, He said
unto His mother:

JESUS. Weib, siehe, das ist dein Sohn!

JESUS. Look, woman, this is they son!

EVANGELIST. Darnach spricht er zu dem
Jünger:

EVANGELIST. Then he said to the disciple:

JESUS. Siehe, das ist deine Mutter!

JESUS. See now, here behold thy mother!

CHORAL
Er nahm alles wohl in acht
In der letzten Stunde,
Seine Mutter noch bedacht,
Setzt ihr ein’ Vormunde.
O Mensch, mache Richtigkeit,
Gott und Menschen liebe,
Stirb darauf ohn alles Leid,
Und dich nicht betrübe!

CHORALE
In his final hour did He
Think Him of His mother,
That when He was gone she be
Cared for by this other.
Make your peace with God and man,
That upon the morrow,
You may end this mortal span,
Free from care and sorrow.

24

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und von Stund an nahm
sie der Jünger zu sich. Darnach, als Jesus
wußte, daß schon alles vollbracht war, daß
die Schrift erfüllet würde, spricht er:

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. From that time on he took
her to his own home. And then since Jesus
knew that now all was accomplished, so
that the Word might be fulfilled, He said:

JESUS. Mich durstet!

JESUS. I thirst!

EVANGELIST. Da stund ein Gefäße voll
Essigs. Sie fülleten aber einen Schwamm mit
Essig und legten ihn um einen Isopen, und
hielten es ihm dar zum Munde. Da nun Jesus
den Essig genommen hatte, sprach er:

EVANGELIST. Nearby was a vessel of
vinegar. They filled from the vessel then a
sponge with vinegar and put it on a twig of
hyssop, and put it to His mouth, to drink. Now
when Jesus had taken of the vinegar, He said:

JESUS. Es ist vollbracht!

JESUS. It is fulfilled!

ARIE – Ms. Dubenion-Smith
Es ist vollbracht!
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen!
Die Trauernacht
Läßt nun die letzte stunde zählen.

ARIA – Ms. Dubenion-Smith
It is fulfilled!
O rest and peace for stricken spirits!
This mournful night
is filled with gloom and sad foreboding.

Der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht
Und schließt den Kampf.
Es ist vollbracht!

Our hero battles on with might
And ends the fight.
It is fulfilled!

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und neiget das Haupt und
verschied.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And bowed His head and
was gone.

Reflections:
ARIE – Mr. Strauss / CHOR
Bass:
Mein teurer Heiland, laß dich fragen,
Da du nunmehr ans Kreuz geschlagen
Und selbst gesaget: Es ist vollbracht,
Bin ich vom Sterben frei gemacht?
Kann ich durch deine Pein und Sterben
Das Himmelreich ererben?
Ist aller Welt Erlösung da?
Du kannst vor Schmerzen zwar nichts
sagen,
Doch neigest du das Haupt
Und sprichst stillschweigend: ja.

ARIA – Mr. Strauss / CHORUS
Bass:
My dearest Savior, let me ask You.
Though You upon Your cross are crucified,
And though You have said: It is fulfilled,
Am I from death forever free,
Can I through thy despair and passion
Thy Heavenly home inhabit?
Is all the world redeemed today?
You can forgive, indeed not answer for
grief,
Yet Thou must bow Thy head
To say in silence: yes.
25

CHOR:
Jesu, der du wärest tot,
Lebest nun ohn Ende,
In der letzten Todesnot,
Nirgend mich hinwende
Als zu dir, der mich versühnt,
O du lieber Herre!
Gib mir nur, was du verdient,
Mehr ich nicht begehre!

CHORUS:
Jesus, Thou who once were dead,
Livest now forever;
When the path of death I tread,
Lord, forsake me never.
God’s wrath Thou from me hast turned,
Saved me from disaster!
My redemption Thou hast earned,
My beloved Master!

Scene 6: The Veil of the Temple
REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Und siehe da, der Vorhand
im Tempel zerriß in zwei Stück von oben
an bis unten aus. Und dis Erde erbebete,
und die Felsen zerrissen, und die Gräber
täten sich auf, und stunden auf viele
Leiber der Heiligen.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. And then behold, the veil
of the temple was rent into twain, from
top to bottom rent in twain. And the earth
was shaken and the mountains were riven,
and the graves were opened up, and there
arose many bodies of the Saints.

Reflections:
ARIOSO – Mr. Phan
Mein Herz, in dem die ganze Welt
Bei Jesu Leiden gleichfalls leidet,
Die Sonne sich in Trauer kleidet,
Der Vorhang reißt, der Fels zerfällt,
Die Erde bebt, die Gräber spalten,
Weil sie den Schöpfer sehn erkalten,
Was willt du deines Ortes tun?

ARIOSO – Mr. Phan
My heart, see all the world is plunged in
woe Because of Jesus’ anguish.
The sun itself by grief is shrouded,
The veil is rent, the rocks are burst,
Creation quakes, the graves are opened
When their Redeemer they see lifeless,
And as for Thee, what wilt Thou do?

ARIE – Ms. Forsythe
Zerfließe, mein Herze, in Fluten der
Zähren
Dem Höchsten zu Ehren.
Erzähle der Welt und dem Himmel die Not:
Dein Jesus ist tot!

ARIA – Ms. Forsythe
Dissolve, my heart, in torrents of weeping,
The Highest to honor.
Proclaim to the world and to Heaven the
news,
Thy Jesus is dead!

26

Scene 7: The Burial of Jesus
REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Die Jüden aber, dieweil es
der Rüsstag war, daß nicht die Leichname
am Kreuze bleiben den Sabbat über
(denn desselbigen Sabbats Tag war sehr
groß), baten sie Pilatum, daß ihre Beine
gebrochen und sie abgenommen würden.
Da kamen die Kreigsknechte und brachen
dem ersten die Beine und dem andern,
der mit ihm gekreuziget war. Als sie aber
zu Jesu kamen, da sie sahen, daß er schon
gestorben war, brachen sie ihm die Beine
nicht; sondern der Kriegsknechts einer
eröffnete seine Seite mit einem Speer, und
alsobald ging Blut und Wasser heraus. Und
der das gesehen hat, der hat es bezeuget,
und sein Zeugnis ist wahr, und derselbige
weiß, daß er die Wahrheit saget, auf daß
ihr gläubet.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. The Council therefore since
it was the preparation, so that the bodies
should not remain on the cross for the
Sabbath (for that Sabbath day was on a
High Day), made a plea to Pilate, to cause
their legs to be broken and to take the
bodies away. Then came the soldiers and
broke the legs of the first and the other
that there was crucified with him. But
when they had come to Jesus, and did see
that He was already dead, therefore they
broke not His legs. One of the soldiers then
did pierce the side of Jesus with a spear,
and forthwith came there blood and water
out. And he who did see it, of this hath
borne record and his record is true; and
this same doth know that he hath truly
spoken, that ye might believe.

Denn solches ist geschehen, auf daß die
Schrift erfüllet würde: > Und abermals spricht
eine andere Schrift: >

For all these things were done, so that the
scripture might be fulfilled: “A bone of
Him shall not be broken.” Again another
scripture hath said: “They shall look, shall
know the man they have pierced.”

CHORAL
O hilf, Christe, Gottes Sohn,
Durch dein bitter Leiden,
Daß wir dir stets untertan
All Untugend meiden.
Deinen Tod und sein Ursach
Furchtbarlich bedenken,
Dafür, wiewohl arm und schwach,
Dir Dankopfer schenken.

CHORALE
Help me, Jesus, God’s own son,
Through thy bitter anguish
That the favor thou hast won
All my sins may vanquish.
How and why our Savior died
We must ponder truly;
We, though weak, have rightly tried
Thanks to offer duly.

27

REZITATIV
EVANGELIST. Darnach bat Pilatum
Joseph von Arimathia, der ein Jünger
Jesu war (doch heimlich, aus Fürcht vor
den Jüden), daß er möchte abnehmen den
Leichnam Jesu. Und Pilatus erlaubete
es. Derowegen kam er und nahm den
Leichnam Jesu herab. Es kam aber auch
Nikodemus, der vormals bei der Nacht zu
Jesu kommen war, und brachte Myrrhen
und Aloen untereinander, bei hundert
Pfunden. Da nahmen sid den Leichnam
Jesu, und bunden ihn in leinen Tücher
mit Spezereien, wie die Jüden pflegen zu
begraben.

RECITATIVE
EVANGELIST. There came unto Pilate
Joseph of Arimathia, a disciple also of
Jesus (but secretly, for fear of the Council),
and besought him that he might receive
the body. And Pilate did give him leave.
Therefore came he thither and carried
Jesus’ body away. There came also thither
Nicodemus, he who at first had come to
Jesus in the night, and brought a mixture
of myrrh and of aloes together an hundred
pound weight. And then they took the
body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes,
with the myrrh and aloes after the burial
custom of the Jews.

Es war aber an der Stätte, da er
gekreuziget war, ein Garte, und im Garten
ein neu Grab, in welches niemand je
geleget war. Daselbst hin legten sie Jesum,
um des Rüsttags willen der Jüden, dieweil
das Grab nahe war.

There was also in this place where He was
crucified, a garden, and in the garden was
a grave wherein no man had ever yet been
laid. Therein they therefore laid Jesus, for
the preparation of the Passover, for the
grave was nigh at hand.

Reflections:
CHOR
Ruht wohl, ihr heiligen Gebeine,
Die ich nun weiter nicht beweine,
Ruht wohl und bringt auch mich zur Ruh!

CHORUS
Rest well, beloved, sweetly sleeping,
That I may cease from further weeping,
Sleep well, and let me too, sleep well.

Das Grab, so euch bestimmet ist
Und ferner keine Not umschließt,
Macht mir den Himmel auf
und schließt die Hölle zu.

The grave which is prepared for Thee,
From pain and grief will set Thee free,
Will open heaven for me
and close the gates of Hell.

28

CHORAL
Ach Herr, laß dein lieb Engelein
Am letzten End die Seele mein
In Abrahams Schob tragen,
Den Leib in sein’m Schlafkämmerlein
Gar sanft, ohn ein’ge Qual und Pein,
Ruhn bis am Jüngsten Tage!
Alsdenn vom Tod erwecke mich,
Daß meine Augen sehen dich
In aller Freud, o Gottes Sohn,
Mein Heiland und Genadenthron!
Herr Jesu Christ, erhöre mich,
Ich will dich preisen ewiglich!

CHORALE
Ah, Lord, when comes that final day
May angels bear my soul away
To Abram’s bosom take it;
Let then my body’s anguish cease,
My soul to wait the day, in peace,
When Thou again awake it.

ARTISTS
Named for the classical god of music
and the sun, Apollo’s Fire was founded
in 1992 by the award-winning young
harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette
Sorrell. Ms. Sorrell envisioned an ensemble
dedicated to the baroque ideal that music
should evoke the various Affekts or
passions in the listeners. Apollo’s Fire is a
collection of creative artists who share Ms.
Sorrell’s passion for drama and rhetoric.
Hailed as “one of the pre-eminent
period-instrument ensembles” (The
Independent, London), Apollo’s Fire made
its London debut in 2010 in a sold-out
concert at Wigmore Hall, with a BBC
broadcast. Subsequent European tours
took place in 2011, 2014, and 2015.
European performances include sold-out
concerts at the BBC Proms in London
(with live broadcast across Europe), the
Aldeburgh Festival (UK), Madrid’s Royal
Theatre, Bordeaux’s Grand Théàtre de
l’Opéra, and major venues in Lisbon, Metz
(France), and Bregenz (Austria), as well as
concerts on the Birmingham International
Series (UK) and the Tuscan Landscapes
Festival (Italy).
North American tour engagements
include the Tanglewood Festival (sold-out
debut in 2015), the Aspen Music Festival,
the Boston Early Music Festival series,
the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art (NY), and major venues in
Toronto, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
The ensemble has performed two major
US tours of the Monteverdi Vespers
(2010 and 2014) and a nine-concert tour
of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos in
2013. Apollo’s Fire is signed to Columbia
Artists Management (CAMI) for exclusive
representation in North and South
America, and is managed in the UK by
Intermusica (London).
30

At home in Cleveland, Apollo’s Fire enjoys
sold-out performances at its subscription
series, which has drawn national attention
for creative programming. Apollo’s Fire
has released 22 commercial CDs, and
currently records for the British label
AVIE. Since the ensemble’s introduction
into the European CD market in 2010,
the recordings have won rave reviews in
the London press: “a swaggering version,
brilliantly played” (The Times) and “the
Midwest’s best-kept musical secret
is finally reaching British ears” (The
Independent). Six of the ensemble’s CD
releases have become best-sellers on the
classical Billboard chart: the Monteverdi
Vespers, Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos
and Harpsichord Concertos, a disc of
Handel arias, and Jeannette Sorrell’s three
crossover programs: Come to the River
— An Early American Gathering; Sacrum
Mysterium — A Celtic Christmas Vespers;
and Sugarloaf Mountain — An Appalachian
Gathering.
Jeannette Sorrell (artistic director,
conductor, continuo organ) is recognized
internationally as a leading creative voice
among early-music conductors. She has
been credited by the UK’s BBC Music
Magazine for forging “a vibrant, lifeaffirming approach to the re-making of
early music… a seductive vision of musical
authenticity.”
Hailed as “one of the world’s finest
Baroque specialists” (St. Louis Dispatch),
Ms. Sorrell was one of the youngest
students ever accepted to the prestigious
conducting courses of the Aspen and the
Tanglewood music festivals. She studied
conducting under Robert Spano, Roger
Norrington, and Leonard Bernstein, and
harpsichord with Gustav Leonhardt in

Amsterdam. She won both First Prize
and the Audience Choice Award in the
1991 Spivey International Harpsichord
Competition, competing against over 70
harpsichordists from Europe, Israel, the US,
and the Soviet Union.
Ms. Sorrell founded Apollo’s Fire in 1992.
Since then, she and the ensemble have built
one of the largest audiences of any baroque
orchestra in North America. She has led
Apollo’s Fire in sold-out concerts at London’s
BBC Proms and London’s Wigmore Hall,
Madrid’s Royal Theatre (Teatro Real), the
Grand Théâtre de l’Opéra in Bordeaux, the
Aldeburgh Festival (UK), the Tanglewood
Festival, Boston’s Early Music Festival,
the Aspen Music Festival, the Library of
Congress, and the Metropolitan Museum of
Art (New York).
As a guest conductor, Ms. Sorrell has
worked with many of the leading American
symphony orchestras. Her debut with
the Pittsburgh Symphony in 2013 as
conductor and soloist in the complete
Brandenburg Concertos was met with
standing ovations every night, and hailed as
“an especially joyous occasion” (Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review). She has also appeared
as conductor and soloist with the New
World Symphony (Miami), the Los Angeles
Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony,
the Opera Theatre of St. Louis with the St.
Louis Symphony, Handel & Haydn Society
(Boston), the Omaha Symphony, Grand
Rapids Symphony, and has appeared with
the Cleveland Orchestra as guest keyboard
artist. In 2014 Ms. Sorrell filled in for British
conductor Richard Egarr on five days’
notice, leading the complete Brandenburg
Concertos and playing the harpsichord
solo in Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, for
the closing concert of the Houston Early
Music Festival. In 2015 she returned to the

Pittsburgh Symphony as conductor/soloist.
Ms. Sorrell has attracted national
attention and awards for creative
programming. She holds an honorary
doctorate from Case Western University,
two special awards from the National
Endowment for the Arts for her work
on early American music, and an award
from the American Musicological Society.
Passionate about guiding the next
generation of performers, Ms. Sorrell has
led many baroque projects for students at
Oberlin Conservatory.
Nicholas Phan (tenor/Evangelist) has
appeared with many of the leading
orchestras in North America and Europe,
including the New York Philharmonic,
Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony,
San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles
Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra,
Philadelphia Orchestra, Chamber Music
Society of Lincoln Center, BBC Symphony,
and the English Chamber Orchestra. He
toured extensively throughout the major
concert halls of Europe with Il Complesso
Barocco and appeared with the Edinburgh,
Ravinia, Rheingau, Tanglewood and
Marlboro music festivals, and at the BBC
Proms. In opera, he has appeared with the
LA Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle
Opera, Glyndebourne Opera, Frankfurt
Opera, and the Maggio Musicale in
Florence. In recital, he has been presented
by Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, the Philadelphia Chamber Music
Society, Boston’s Celebrity Series, Atlanta’s
Spivey Hall, and the Library of Congress
in Washington, DC. He is also a founder
and the artistic director of Collaborative
Arts Institute of Chicago, an organization
devoted to promoting the art song and
vocal chamber music repertoire. Mr. Phan’s
31

most recent solo album, A Painted Tale,
was released on Avie Records in February
2015. His previous solo album, Still Falls
the Rain (Avie), was named one of the
“Best Classical Recordings of 2012 ” by
The New York Times.
Jesse Blumberg (baritone/Jesus) is equally
at home on opera, concert, and recital
stages, performing repertoire from the
Renaissance and Baroque to the 20th and
21st centuries. His performances have
included the world premiere of The Grapes
of Wrath at Minnesota Opera, Bernstein’s
Mass at London’s Royal Festival Hall,
various productions with Boston Early
Music Festival, and featured roles
with Atlanta Opera, Pittsburgh Opera,
Utah Opera, and Hawaii Opera Theatre.
Recital highlights include appearances
with the Marilyn Horne Foundation,
New York Festival of Song, and Mirror
Visions Ensemble. He has performed
major concert works with American Bach
Soloists, Boston Baroque, Oratorio Society
of New York, and on Lincoln Center’s
American Songbook series. His 2015–16
season includes performances of Messiah
at the Washington National Cathedral,
St. John Passion with Apollo’s Fire,
Bach cantatas with Montreal Baroque,
and The Merry Widow at Boston Lyric
Opera. Mr. Blumberg holds degrees from
the University of Cincinnati CollegeConservatory of Music and is also the
founder and artistic director of Five
Boroughs Music Festival, which brings
chamber music of many genres to every
corner of New York City.
Kristen Dubenion-Smith (mezzo-soprano)
enjoys an active performing career in
oratorio, opera, and sacred vocal chamber
music, particularly specializing in music of
the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque
32

eras. She has been praised for her “plush”
voice by the Baltimore Sun and voice of
“sweet clarity” by the Pittsburgh PostGazette. Recent notable engagements
include performances with The Folger
Consort, The Washington Bach Consort,
The Cathedral Choral Society, The
Evolution Contemporary Music Series, and
with the Mark Morris Dance Group. Ms.
Dubenion-Smith is also the co-founder of
the award-winning Medieval ensemble
Eya, based in Washington, DC, as well
as serving as cantor at the Washington
National Cathedral. Originally from
Michigan, Ms. Dubenion-Smith graduated
from Alma College before moving to
Baltimore to complete her studies in voice
at the Peabody Institute.
Amanda Forsythe (soprano) has sung
principal roles in the opera houses of
Geneva, Munich, the Rossini Opera Festival
in Pesaro, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
in Paris, at the Royal Opera House, Covent
Garden, and Seattle Opera. Recently, she
débuted at Tanglewood and the Mostly
Mozart Festivals with Philharmonia
Baroque under Nicholas McGegan and with
the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
in Rome under Sir Antonio Pappano. Ms.
Forsythe performs regularly with Boston
Early Music Festival, Vancouver Early
Music, Apollo’s Fire, Boston Baroque, and
the Seattle Symphony. Performances this
season include L’Amour in Gluck’s Orphée
at Covent Garden, Mozart’s Requiem and
Mass in c minor with the Monteverdi
Choir and Orchestra under Sir John Eliot
Gardiner, and Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer
Night’s Dream with the Boston Symphony
under Andris Nelsons. Next season, she
sings Marzelline in Beethoven’s Fidelio in
Rome (Pappano), debuts with the Chicago
Symphony in an all-Handel program,
and returns to Seattle Opera as Pamina

in The Magic Flute. Ms. Forsythe sings
Euridice on Charpentier’s La Descente
d’Orphée aux Enfers with BEMF, which
won the 2015 Grammy Award for “Best
Opera Recording.” Her debut solo album
of Handel arias with Apollo’s Fire was
released in 2015 on the Avie label to great
acclaim, and debuted at number three on
the classical Billboard chart.
Jeffrey Strauss (baritone/Pilate) is an
“authoritative artist” (Cleveland Plain
Dealer) whose performances have been
praised as “captivating” (Chicago Tribune)
and “serenely beautiful” (New York Times),
and has appeared with period-instrument
ensembles including The Consort of
Musicke with Emma Kirkby, the Taverner
Consort under Andrew Parrott, Tafelmusik,
Apollo’s Fire, the Handel & Haydn Society
(Boston), the Newberry Consort (Chicago),
Seattle Baroque, and Tempesta di Mare
(Philadelphia). He made his professional
debut at the age of 17 with the Buffalo
Philharmonic and studied voice in Paris
with Gérard Souzay. An accomplished stage
actor, his favorite projects have included
the title role in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, Jesus
in the Bach Passions, Méphistophélès in
Berlioz’s Damnation of Faust, and Apollo
in Handel’s Apollo e Dafne. His recent
portrayal of Tevye in Fiddler on the
Roof was hailed by the Buffalo News as
“masterful.” His longstanding commitment
to contemporary music includes many
appearances with the Chicago Chamber
Musicians, as well as performing Ned
Rorem’s song cycle Aftermath, a jazzinspired oratorio with the Dave Brubeck
Quartet, and premieres of works by
Bernstein, Babbitt, Shapey, and Cipullo. His
CD recordings with Apollo’s Fire include the
Monteverdi Vespers and Handel’s Messiah,
as well as Sephardic Journey, released in
