The Bauder-Kantorei in Sulz am Neckar is the oldest still active Protestant church choir in Württemberg .
history
The Bauder Kantorei goes back to a foundation established by Christiane Gottliebin Bauder in 1817. Christiane Bauder was the youngest daughter of the dean Johann Georg Bauder and the only one of his children who survived her father. Christiane Bauder, who had experienced the devastating fire in her hometown and later its reconstruction at a young age, donated 1,000 guilders from her father's inheritance to the 300th anniversary of the Reformation in 1817 to enlarge the sacred area, but also 2,000 more “to promote religious song ". According to the statutes, two teachers who were suitable for training a choir should be employed if possible. In addition to the legally prescribed music lessons, these should offer three hours of singing lessons on weekdays and one to one and a half hours on Sundays for children and singles. Church services, weddings, funerals etc. should be accompanied musically by the choir. According to the statutes, "the apprentices of this religious singing institution were never to be rewarded, but the learned dexterity, the ability and skill to increase the worship service and thus to contribute to the praise and praise of God" should "be the best for every well-thinking mind Wages are ". The donated money should also be used to purchase notes and instruments.
The statutes also stipulated that an anniversary celebration be organized every hundred years on the occasion of the Reformation. Last but not least, Bauder's guilders should also be used to maintain the dean's tomb. In fact, the grave monuments of both the dean Johann Georg Bauder and the donor Christiane Gottliebin Bauder have been preserved in Sulz; In addition, in 2015 the proposal was made to name a street in Sulz am Neckar after Christiane Bauder.
In 2009 the “Bauder'schen Gesangsanstalt” or the “Bauder Association” became the Bauder-Kantorei Sulz.
repertoire
The Bauder-Kantorei accompanies around twelve church services and celebrations per year. She studies choral movements from different epochs and performs, among other things, cantatas, Bach's Christmas Oratorio , masses by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and motets . If necessary, the choir is reinforced and accompanied by an orchestra. The Bauder-Kantorei has had its own positive organ in the Protestant city church since 2013.
