Weib, Was Weinest Du
''Weib, was weinest du'' (''Dialogo per la Pascua'') (Woman, why are you crying, Easter dialogue), SWV 443, is a sacred choral work by Heinrich Schütz. It was composed not later than 1625 and is scored for four voices and basso continuo. The text is a dialogue based on the episode, narrated in the Gospel of John, of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene (). It is concluded by Martin Luther's Eastern hymn "Christ ist erstanden von dem Tod". Musical means were taken from the composer's 1623 ''Historia'' of the Resurrection, which includes the same Gospel text. A review of a recording notes: "A setting of Mary Magdalene's recognition of the risen Jesus, it is notable in its expressive intensity and in its retention of motives and harmonic gestures from the earlier "Resurrection History." In 1922 the piece was included in the first festival of the Heinrich-Schütz-Gesellschaft in Dresden, together with the '' Christmas Story'' and other selected works. A manuscript is kept in the libra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
