Today, they still constitute the least explored area of his output. The elevated style he was aspiring to (both in the text and the music) was unheard-of outside the realm of church music. In fact, whether for the church, opera, or the concert hall, Schumann was looking for a sanctified realm, a Goethe-inspired meeting ground for art and religion.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adventlied<\/em>, Op. 71, was written in November 1848 to a text from Friedrich R\u00fcckert\u2019s <em>Pantheon<\/em>. The sense of urgent need and chromatic writing alternate with lyrical sections and quasi-Handelian grand climaxes in praise of universal brotherhood, featuring the transformed opening theme from time to time throughout the work. Schumann studied intensively approximately 500 works by Bach, including numerous still unpublished cantatas, and took them up again and again in order to \u201cdaily confess before this lofty man, and strive to purify and strengthen myself through him.\u201d He conducted in Dresden in February-May 1849 the <em>Adventlied<\/em> and in July 1849 Bach\u2019s dramatic cantata <em>Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht<\/em>, BWV 105, and in D\u00fcsseldorf in October 1850 the Adventlied and, in the secular sphere, in November-December 1852 and again in March 1853 the large choral-orchestral ballade <em>Vom Pagen und der K\u00f6nigstochter<\/em>, op. 140, on texts by Emanuel Geibel. The work\u2019s form bears a close resemblance to symphony. The four ballades are the unquestionable highpoint of Schumann\u2019s modern, pervasively noble epic drama and peculiar way of storytelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helsinki Baroque Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir led by Aapo H\u00e4kkinen join their forces together with an impressive vocal cast, Carolyn Sampson, Benno Schachtner, Werner G\u00fcra, Jonathan Sells and Cornelius Uhle, in this unique release of rarely heard choral works by Robert Schumann (1810\u20131856).
