Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630) :
Israelis Bru¨nnlein (The Fountain of Israel)
Paul Agnew devotes the programme of this first candlelit concert of the William Christie 2025 Festival Dans les Jardins to a little-known composer on the border between the Renaissance and the Baroque: Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630).
A contemporary and friend of Heinrich Schu¨tz, Schein was the first German composer to be inspired by new developments in Italian music at the dawn of the 17th century. He was also a poet, and his sense of language is particularly evident in his collection of motets The Fountain of Israel (Israelis Bru¨nnlein), published in 1623, in which he sought to express the prosody of the German text in a style inspired by the Italian madrigal. Paul Agnew, a master of madrigal art and of rediscovering repertoires from the early Baroque period, takes on this key composer in European musical history for the first time.
What a discovery!
At the end of the candlelit concerts: "Meditations at the Dawn of the Night".
Short concerts of sacred repertoire by candlelight, the Night Dawn Meditations bring each day of the Festival to a close in a contemplative atmosphere, without applause from the audience.
Accessible only to holders of a Candlelight Concert ticket (included in the ticket).
