Go out, my heart, and look for Freud (Mauersberger)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Go out, my heart, and seek Freud ( RMWV 11) is a full-length spiritual work by the Dresden Kreuzkantor Rudolf Mauersberger . It is subtitled clergy summer music and originated from words of the Bible and hymns , as in the Protestant hymn books are published.

History of origin

The first version of the work was created during Mauersberger's summer vacation from August 3 to 15, 1948. Mauersberger created it in his native Mauersberg in the Ore Mountains . The original title of the work was Liturgical Summer Music .

Choirs and instruments

The work is composed for two boy solo voices (soprano and alto), two separately set up mixed choirs (four to eight-part main choir in the gallery, four to six-part altar choir) and organ. The altar singers perform Kurrendetracht with white collar.

The division of the choirs is similar to that in the St. Luke Passion and to some extent in the Dresden Te Deum ; the main choir performs the chorals and the altar choir the psalm and Christ words.

Structure, content, music

Mauersberger created the seven-part work as music for the Evangelical Church as a counterpart to Catholic May devotions . It is a "ritual celebration [...] [in which] the summer events in nature [is] spiritually interpreted".

The lyrics of Paul Gerhardts Geh aus, mein Herz, und sucht Freud (RMWV 35), which Mauersberger set to music as early as 1925 during his time in Eisenach, is the spiritual and musical basic sound of the work. It is varied in strophic form in the introit and recorded as a leitmotif in the organ prelude and post-play as well as in the choral closing amen. The numerous small songs and chorals convey the "natural [...] and unspoilt [...] fluid of the Ore Mountains". The essential elements of sacred summer music are choirs, songs and chorales. The choirs are the liturgical structure of the work, the summer is praised in the songs and the God of Creation is praised in the chorales. In sentences II to IV God's work from the point of view of the worshiping person is praised through songs from early summer to harvest. The songs are deliberately kept folksy, the “folksong-like” is retained even in the polyphonic setting. The majority of them did not arise in 1948, when Mauersberger was composing the sacred summer music, but rather in Eisenach beforehand. In movements V and VI the emphasis shifts from the songs to the chorales. Mauersberger puts the chorales in context with the psalms and Jesus' words, it is about Old Testament praise for God and the fulfillment of creation - about contemplation and adoration. In the chorales, Mauersberger uses the “conventional, moderate modern setting”, but allows the folk-song-like ease to flow into the second and subsequent stanzas. The psalms and words of Christ sung by the altar choir are similar to Gregorian sequences , they contain responsorial and four- to six-part sections.

The liturgical conclusion of the sacred summer music is formed in accordance with the Introitus Our Father , the final chorale and the organ aftermath. The Lord's Prayer was composed for the Crucian Peter Schreier (at that time a boy ).
