Matthias Weckman
1. Kommet her zu mir alle
2. Zion spricht: Der Herr hat mich verlassen (Choreography: Israel Aloni)
3. Herr, wenn ich nur dich habe
4. Wie liegt die Stadt so wüste (Choreography: Israel Aloni)
5. Wenn der Herr die Gefangenen zu Zion

In 1663, the plague descended on Hamburg and more than one third of the population died. The city was paralyzed. All citizens were stricken. The dampened church bells sounded continuously, rendering grief, lamentation, despair, but also the message that nobody faced the catastrophe alone. In response to the horrifying event, Matthias Weckman (1616-1674), organist in St Jacobi church, selected texts from the Bible and composed some of the most expressive vocal and instrumental works preserved from the 17th century. They witness the power of art in times of crises. Weckman’s music is remarkably relevant in times of pandemic and Covid-19. In one of the most moving compositions, the text reads: “Wie wüste liegt die Stadt, die voll Volkes war (The city, once full of people, now sits all alone)” – and we think of the large cities of Europe, in the USA, and around the world in recent states of emergency.
