Free Music Review: An important part of America's musical heritage - just beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars

While little known to the general public, the Moravians have contributed a fascinating, beautiful body of music that is also an important part of America's musical heritage. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, many classical European works were often performed in the Moravian communities of North Carolina and Pennsylvania decades prior to anywhere else in the country, and original music in this same tradition was written and performed by these same communities. The 32 selections presented here, mostly in the German language, were selected from thousands of Moravian scores contained in the Moravian Music Foundation collection. The majority of these selections are quite short, just a couple minutes long, in keeping with the tradition among the Moravians to set music to short scriptural readings, called "watchwords" (Losungen). Due to the relative brevity of these works, Martin Pearlman, founder and music director of Boston Baroque, decided to combine them into several Moravian "lovefeasts" (Liebesmahl), almost entirely musical services held for religious festivals and special occasions (according to the liner notes, the first organized celebration of American independence was a Moravian lovefeast), for Christmas, Lent, and Thanksgiving. The second of the two CDs provided here is a discussion of the music of the Moravians narrated by Martin Pearlman. The liner notes include English translations for all of the German performances. The music from 13 different composers are represented here, and although some of the pieces have more extensive lyrics, in keeping with traditional Moravian watchwords some of the selections revolve around simple lyrics of only one or two brief sentences. Selection 21 ("Das ist ein Tag"), for example, a work reminiscent of George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" by composer Christian Gregor, is based solely on Psalms 118:24. This collection of period instrument choral performances will undoubtedly prove to be a time-tested CD just as the individual works themselves.
