ACRONYM presents forgotten works from the Düben Collection. The Düben archive consists of approximately 2300 music manuscripts, assembled by and named after a family of composers who served in succession as Kapellmeisters to the Royal Swedish Court in Stockholm. Much of the music within the collection is unique, and the vast majority of it has neither been published in modern edition nor recorded. ACRONYM previously scoured the Düben Collection for sonatas that can now be heard on the ensemble's Paradise (Bertali) and Wunderkammer albums, and for this recording they searched this treasure trove of seventeenth-century music for the most beautiful and fascinating works available. It is likely the first time any of these Cantica Obsoleta have been heard in hundreds of years. Album Tracks 1. Sonata a 5 in D minor 2. Cantate Domino Canticum Novum 3. Doleo Et Ponitet Me 4.

If you have been a choir or choir director at a Marien church for over 30 years, it is difficult for you as an evangelical Christian to evade the subject of Maria. Although the Protestants are assumed to have a rather cool relationship with the mother of Jesus, in such a church one literally stumbles across texts, representations and references to a piety from Mary - a piety that Mary does not necessarily make an advocate for God, but she is a role model for faith Especially when, after a strenuous day of rehearsals in a 12th century cathedral in medieval melodies of young voices, the old words from the New Testament sound InchMy soul exalts the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my SaviorInch, one thinks As a Lutheran - MAGNIFICAT! Magnificat settings therefore form the framework for the new, fourth album of the youth choir of the cathedral in Wurzen. Of course, one cannot deal with Maria musically without singing about her son Jesus, to tell the whole story, so to speak. So does the youth choir on this (Hairston - InchAmenInch). There is also the example speech of the wandering preacher such as InchI am a right vineInch (Schütz), which encourages clinging to God, the question of right prayer, which Jesus answers with the InchOur FatherInch (Wermann), the longing for God Closeness and presence in InchKyrie and GloriaInch by Rheinberger or in Mendelssohn's InchI lift my eyes to the mountainsInch. The Kingdom of God plays a central role in Jesus' sermon, which can already be felt here in this world and endures transience. Jesus himself lived in this hope of inseparable communion with God and the spirituals also sing about it in the images of their time. Album Tracks 1. Herr, Tu Meine Lippen Auf 2.
