<br />
每年復活節前,英國各地大大小小教堂和演奏廳都會上演巴赫聖馬太或聖約翰受難曲,場次之多令人嘆為觀止。身為古樂演奏者我恭逢其盛,從來倫敦第一年復活節在 St John Smith Square 欣賞生平第一場聖馬太受難曲現場演出便深受震撼,到接下來兩年皆有幸參與多場聖馬太和聖約翰受難曲演出,每每在台上感動到熱淚盈眶。<br />
<br />
對於非基督徒的我,耶穌生平象徵凡人生平可能發生的各種情感衝突:親情、愛情、忌妒、背叛、憤怒、失去所愛的人和死亡。例如聖馬太受難曲最著名的女高音 (和長笛獨奏 :P) 詠嘆調 Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben 對我而言便是失去所愛之人的痛苦。女高音在清唱劇中不飾演特定角色反而給予此詠嘆調無限空間,可以身為母親、愛人、朋友抑或教徒,字字句句撼動人心;長笛獨奏和女高音相互呼應,搭配兩支Oboe da Caccia 近似心跳又似沉重腳步的伴奏,可以想像演唱者來回踱步一邊述說的場景,令人心碎 。<br />

Sixth Sunday after Trinity.<br />
<br />
Poet unknown.<br />
<br />
1. Paul Speratus, verse 1 of the hymn, 1524 (Wackernagel, III, #55); 2. based freely on verses 2, 3, and the beginning of 4; 4. based freely on verses 5-7; 5. based freely on verse 8; 6. based freely on verses 9 and 11; 7. verse 12 of the hymn.<br />
<br />
1732-1735, Leipzig.<br />
<br />
BG 1; NBA I/17.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Chorus [Verse 1] (S, A, T, B)<br />
<br />
Now is to us salvation come <br />
By grace and purest favor. <br />
Our works, they help us not at all, <br />
They offer no protection. <br />
But faith shall Jesus Christ behold, <br />
Who hath enough done for us all <br />
He is our intercessor.(1)<br />
<br />
2. Recit. (B)<br />
<br />
God gave to us a law, but we were far too weak <br />
That we could ever hope to keep it. <br />
We followed but the call of sin, <br />
No man could be called godly; <br />
The soul remained to flesh adherent <br />
And ventured not to stand against it. <br />
We were within the law to walk <br />
And there as if within a mirror see <br />
How yet our nature was undisciplined; <br />
And just the same we clung to it. <br />
Of his own strength none had the power <br />
His sinful rudeness to abandon, <br />
E'en though he all his strength might strive to gather.<br />
<br />
3. Aria (T)<br />
<br />
We were ere then too deeply fallen, <br />
The chasm sucked us fully down,<br />
<br />
The deep then threatened us with death,<br />
And even still in such distress<br />
There was no hand to lend us help.<br />
4. Recit. (B)<br />
<br />
But somehow was the law to have fulfillment; <br />
And for this came to earth salvation, <br />
The Highest's Son hath it himself fulfilled <br />
And his own Father's wrath made still. <br />
Through his own guiltless dying <br />
He let us win salvation. <br />
Who now in him doth trust <br />
And on his passion build, <br />
He walketh not in peril. <br />
And heaven is for him appointed <br />
Who with true faith himself shall bring <br />
And firmly Jesus' arms embrace.<br />
<br />
5. Aria (S, A)<br />
<br />
Lord, thou look'st past our good labors <br />
To the heart's believing power, <br />
Nought but faith dost thou accept.<br />
<br />
Nought but faith shall justify,<br />
Ev'ry labor seems too slight<br />
E'er to bring us any help.<br />
6. Recit. (B)<br />
<br />
When we our sin within the law acknowledge, <br />
Our conscience is most sorely stricken; <br />
Yet can we reckon to our comfort <br />
That we within the Gospel's word <br />
Shall soon again <br />
Be glad and joyful: <br />
This gives to our belief new power. <br />
We therefore wait the day <br />
Which God's own graciousness <br />
To us hath firmly pledged, <br />
E'en though, in truth, with purpose wise, <br />
The hour is not told us. <br />
But still we wait with full assurance, <br />
He knoweth when our time is come <br />
And worketh no deceit <br />
On us; we may depend upon him, <br />
And him alone be trustin.<br />
<br />
7. Choral [Verse 12] (S, A, T, B)<br />
<br />
Though it should seem he were opposed, <br />
Be thou by this not frightened; <br />
For where he is at best with thee, <br />
His wont is not to show it. <br />
His word take thou more certain still, <br />
And though thy heart say only "No," <br />
Yet let thyself not shudder.cakecathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930300099052619534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889956200797401664.post-80688515428636335372010-06-01T23:52:00.000+01:002010-06-01T23:52:34.268+01:00Solomon by Handel in St Albans Cathedral<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/05ASlSS0IS0cuNKz5uMoaQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Ht3mC4t0Is/S6a8qcsGfRI/AAAAAAAABiU/DqlObLeA1YE/s400/Small%20edited-1120802.jpg" /></a></td></tr>

Break with hungry men thy bread and those who in want are found take in thy house! If thou dost a man see naked, then cover him and withdraw thyself not from thy flesh. <br />
And then shall thy light through all break forth like the rosy morning, and thy recovery shall wax quickly, and thine own righteousness shall go forth before thee, and the majesty of the Lord God shall receive thee. <br />
<br />
2. Recit. (B) <br />
The bounteous God casts his abundant store <br />
On us, those who without him were not even breathing. <br />
His is all that we are; he gives us but the use, <br />
But not that us alone should these his treasures comfort. <br />
They as a touchstone serve by which he hath revealed <br />
That he to poor men also need hath freely given, <br />
And hath with open hand, whate'er the poor require, to us so richly proffered.<br />
We are required for all the wealth he lends <br />
No interest into his barns to carry; <br />
But mercy which is to one's neighbour shown <br />
Can more than any gift be to his heart compelling. <br />
<br />
3. Aria (A) <br />
Life is but a paltry measure<br />
But a foretaste of the treasure,<br />
We with Him will one day share;<br />
Who His love is here expressing,<br />
Sow the seeds of future blessing<br />
Which we harvest with Him There.<br />
<br />
Second Part<br />
<br />
4. Aria [Dictum] (B) <br />
To do good and share your blessings forget ye not; for these are off'rings well-pleasing to God. <br />
<br />
5. Aria (S) <br />
Master, all my living<br />
Follows from Thy giving.<br />
Let my little all suffice<br />
If I restore Three,<br />
When I come before Thee,<br />
Let this be my sacrifice<br />
<br />
6. Recit. (A) <br />
I’ve naught here of my own<br />
To give Thee but my soul,<br />
The opportunity<br />
TO serve my neighbours’ needs,<br />
His poverty to relieve, his sorrow to console,<br />
And when it pleases Thee,<br />
A grave to lay me in.<br />
I bring Thee what I can;<br />
Lord, let it be Thy pleasure<br />
That I may then obtain<br />
My promised heav’nly treasure<br />
7. Chorale (S, A, T, B) <br />
Blessed those who through compassion <br />
Bear the weight of others' woe, <br />
Who with pity for the wretched <br />
Pray steadfast for them to God. <br />
They who helpful are in word,<br />
And if possible in deed, <br />
Shall in turn receive thy succour <br />
And themselves obtain compassion. <br />
<br />

Erster Teil (first part)<br />
1. (Coro)<br />
Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot<br />
und die, so in Elend sind,<br />
führe ins Haus!<br />
So du einen nackend siehest,<br />
so kleide ihn<br />
und entzeuch dich nicht<br />
von deinem Fleisch.<br />
Alsdenn wird dein Licht herfürbrechen<br />
wie die Morgenröte,<br />
und deine Besserung<br />
wird schnell wachsen,<br />
und deine Gerechtigkeit<br />
wird für dir hergehen,<br />
und die Herrlichkeit des Herrn<br />
wird dich zu sich nehmen.<br />
<br />
2. Recitativo (bass)<br />
Der reiche Gott wirft seinen Überfluss<br />
Auf uns, die wir ohn ihn auch nicht den Odem haben.<br />
Sein ist es, was wir sind; er gibt nur den Genuss,<br />
Doch nicht, dass uns allein<br />
Nur seine Schätze laben.<br />
Sie sind der Probestein,<br />
Wodurch er macht bekannt,<br />
Dass er der Armut auch die Notdurft ausgespendet,<br />
Als er mit milder Hand,<br />
Was jener nötig ist, uns reichlich zugewendet.<br />
Wir sollen ihm für sein gelehntes Gut<br />
Die Zinsen nicht in seine Scheuren bringen;<br />
Barmherzigkeit, die auf dem Nächsten ruht,<br />
Kann mehr als alle Gab ihm an das Herze dringen.<br />
<br />
3. Aria (altus)<br />
Seinem Schöpfer noch auf Erden<br />
Nur im Schatten ähnlich werden,<br />
Ist im Vorschmack selig sein.<br />
Sein Erbarmen nachzuahmen,<br />
Streuet hier des Segens Samen,<br />
Den wir dorten bringen ein.<br />
<br />
Zweiter Teil (second part)<br />
4. (Aria) (bass)<br />
Wohlzutun und mitzuteilen vergesset nicht;<br />
denn solche Opfer gefallen Gott wohl.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Aria (soprano)<br />
Höchster, was ich habe,<br />
Ist nur deine Gabe.<br />
Wenn vor deinem Angesicht<br />
Ich schon mit dem meinen<br />
Dankbar wollt erscheinen,<br />
Willt du doch kein Opfer nicht.<br />
<br />
6. Recitativo (altus)<br />
Wie soll ich dir, o Herr, denn sattsamlich vergelten,<br />
Was du an Leib und Seel mir hast zugutgetan?<br />
Ja, was ich noch empfang, und solches gar nicht selten,<br />
Weil ich mich jede Stund noch deiner rühmen kann?<br />
Ich hab nichts als den Geist, dir eigen zu ergeben,<br />
Dem Nächsten die Begierd, dass ich ihm dienstbar werd,<br />
Der Armut, was du mir gegönnt in diesem Leben,<br />
Und, wenn es dir gefällt, den schwachen Leib der Erd.<br />
Ich bringe, was ich kann, Herr, lass es dir behagen,<br />
Dass ich, was du versprichst, auch einst davon mög tragen.<br />
<br />
7. Chorale<br />
Selig sind, die aus Erbarmen<br />
Sich annehmen fremder Not,<br />
Sind mitleidig mit den Armen,<br />
Bitten treulich für sie Gott.<br />
Die behülflich sind mit Rat,<br />
Auch, womöglich, mit der Tat,<br />
Werden wieder Hülf empfangen<br />
Und Barmherzigkeit erlangen.cakecathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930300099052619534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889956200797401664.post-89618262369197309742010-04-10T16:53:00.001+01:002010-04-10T17:05:33.945+01:00Lunchtime Concert in St Martin in the Fields, London<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/nZgBqIXR4ZjHiy5ToVvNBQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Ht3mC4t0Is/S8CPFfrS1FI/AAAAAAAABv8/AtCg_PleDoI/s400/Small%20edited-1120949.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
