German farmers' fair

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Farmer's Fair is a fair that was put together and written by the folksong keeper Annette Thoma .

Thoma took “old songs and tunes from the Bavarian-Austrian alpine country” as the basis for her mass, but added new, self-written texts in moderate Bavarian dialect to them . The core of the exhibition is the famous Andachtsjodler , in 1830 Sterzing was recorded. The fair was originally for three singing and folk music set , but is also in an arrangement for mixed choir before with accompaniment.

The mass was first performed on the name day of Kiem Pauli on June 29, 1933 in the "Badkapelle" in Wildbad Kreuth by the Riederinger singers . The first print run took place in 1947, for which Annette Thoma added additional instrumental interludes.

The origin of the mass coincided with a time of liturgical reform efforts (see: Liturgical Movement ) , through which the vernacular for the first time gained a higher status as a liturgical language alongside Latin. It corresponded to the understanding of the liturgy, which was introduced by the Apostolic Exhortation Tra le sollecitudini Pius X of 1903. Due to the later liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council , the liturgical approach of the peasant mass is now partially outdated. A revision of the mass by Annette Thoma at the end of the 1960s, who tried to integrate the newer liturgical approaches, was not accepted by most groups of singers, as the farmers' mass in its original form has become very popular and dear to the parishes.
