Kirchgessner, Kilian www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Studio 9

In the late ‘80s, two MCC San Francisco ministers wrote an article called “We Are the Church Alive, the Church with AIDS.” We wanted to know how a gay/lesbian church came to call itself “a church with AIDS.” The answers lie in the years before our audio archive begins. So we started asking people. We explore two stories in what's likely a more complicated shift. One story is about a pair of religion geeks who learned to make queer church in New York during the early years of the AIDS crisis and then came to San Francisco to lead MCCSF. And the other is how an Easter Sunday ritual made the Christian hope of life through death viscerally real. “We Are the Church Alive, the Church with AIDS,” by Kittredge Cherry and Jamies Mitulski was published in the Christian Century on January 27, 1988.

Es sind oft grausame Begebenheiten, die Antonin Dvorak zu aufregenden „Symphonischen Dichtungen“ verarbeitet hat. Die Werke nach böhmischen Märchenballaden sind alle nach der berühmten „Symphonie aus der Neuen Welt“ entstanden, also Werke aus der Spätphase des Komponisten und enthalten herrliche Melodien, aber auch pittoreske Klangbilder, die sich zu spannenden Erzählungen verdichten. Im heutigen Musiksalon hören wir Beispiele aus den blutrünstigen musikalischen Thrillern „Die Waldtaube“, „Der Wassermann“ und „Die Mittagshexe“, sowie die gesamte Tondichtung „Das goldene Spinnrad“, die als einzige ein Happy End hat.

The Railroad Hour "The Gypsy Baron" December 8, 1952 NBC Music by Johann Strauss  The Railroad Hour "Roaring Camp" August 17, 1953 NBC Music by Antonin Dvorak 

SynopsisOn today's date in 1890, Czech composer Antonin Dvorak conducted the first performance of his Symphony No. 8 in Prague, on the occasion of his election to the Bohemian Academy of Science, Literature and Arts.By 1890, Dvorak was a world-famous composer, honored in his own country and abroad. Within a year of its premiere, Dvorak conduced his Symphony No. 8 again in London, Frankfurt and at Cambridge University, where he received an honorary doctorate in music in 1891.Despite some mysterious and melancholy passages, Dvorak's Eighth Symphony is usually described as “sunny,” “idyllic” and “pastoral.” Its final movement opens with a brass fanfare, perhaps a reference to a century-old tradition of signal trumpeters playing from the towers and parapets in Prague, a sight and sound that visitors to the famous Astronomical Clock tower in that city's Old Town Square can still experience today.It's amusing — and perhaps revealing of something deep in the national spirit — that at a rehearsal of this finale, legendary Czech conductor Rafael Kubelik quipped to his players, "Gentlemen, in Bohemia the trumpets never call to battle — they always call to the dance!"Music Played in Today's ProgramAntonin Dvorak (1841-1904): Symphony No. 8; Berlin Philharmonic; Rafael Kubelik, cond.

SynopsisNov. 17, 1878, marked a milestone in the career of 37-year old Czech composer Antonin Dvorak. For the first time, he engaged and conducted the orchestra of the Provisional Theater in Prague in a concert entirely of his own works, including the premiere performance of a new Serenade for Winds.Earlier that year, Dvorak heard a performance of a Mozart wind serenade in Vienna and was so taken by the sound of Mozart's double-reeds and horns that he wrote a similar work in just two weeks.Dvorak added to the open-air feel of Mozart's 18th-century wind serenade some lively 19th-century Czech dance rhythms. But he also chose the key of D minor, reserved by Mozart for some of his most serious works. That enables Dvorak's Serenade to seem both somber and upbeat, infused with musical shadows and sunlight.The new work was well received in Prague and also in Vienna, where one its biggest fans was Johannes Brahms, who wrote: ``A more lovely, refreshing impression of real, rich and charming creative talent you can't imagine. I think it must be a pleasure for the wind players!''Music Played in Today's ProgramAntonin Dvorak Serenade for Winds; St. Paul Chamber Orchestra; Hugh Wolff, cond. Teldec

SynopsisIn 1886, a Czech patron of the arts named Josef Hlavka had a chapel built at his summer residence at Lužany in Bohemia and asked his composer friend Antonin Dvorak to write a mass to dedicate it.As a devout Catholic, Dvorak was happy to oblige. Since the chapel was quite small, Dvorak wrote his Mass in D Major for just a quartet of soloists, a small choir, and organ, and led the premiere performance there on today's date in 1887, with his wife Anna singing one of the solo roles.Dvorak told Hlavka he was grateful for the chance to write so intimate a piece. “Until now,” wrote Dvorak, “I had only written sacred works of larger proportions with considerable vocal and instrumental means at my disposal.”Ironically, Dvorak's intimate “Lužany Mass” became popular as just such a large-scale work. At the request of his publisher, Dvorak orchestrated his “Mass,” and in that form it received its international premiere in 1893 at the immense Crystal Palace in London, performed by a huge chorus and a large symphony orchestra.The published orchestrated version became extremely popular during Dvorak's lifetime, but his small-scale original version was not even published until 1963.Music Played in Today's ProgramAntonin Dvořák (1841 - 1904) Mass in D Christ Church Cathedral Choir;Nicholas Cleobury, o;Simon Preston, cond.
