Podcast appearances and mentions of Marcus Creed

In Episode 14 of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker dives into the theme “Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers,” examining how long-held assumptions in choral music—like so-called “proper Baroque pitch”—can benefit from a fresh look. This week's listener question explores the growing use of tablets in choral rehearsal and performance. Today's inspiration is Brahms' exquisite motet Schaffe in mir, Gott, performed by the RIAS Kammerchor under Marcus Creed. Join us as we question conventions, embrace innovation, and celebrate great choral art!

For this episode, I spoke with Johanna Zimmer, a wonderful soprano I had the joy of working with many times. She works as a soloist, as a chamber musician, in the choir, in opera. We speak about this versatility and why she needs it in her life. We speak about words in music and how important they are for us as musicians. At the moment, we are working with the SWR Vokalensemble on a program with music by Ligeti, Feldman and Orlando di Lasso.    The music you hear, is:    György Ligeti - Three Fantasies: Wenn aus der Ferne  SWR Vokalensemble, Yuval Weinberg  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvJzdYziCic   Morton Feldman - Rothko Chapel  SWR Vokalensemble, Marcus Creed  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGQe3NsuvfM&t=636s   Orlando di Lasso - Lagrime di San Pietro: il magnanimo Pietro  Ensemble Vocal Européen, Philippe Herreweghe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeHZQ83oFQM   Franz Tunder - Ach Herr, lass deine lieben Engelein Johanna Zimmer, Ensemble with Fabian Wöhrle, continuo 

Synopsis The contemporary Hungarian composer György Kurtág is famous for writing very short, very sparse and VERY concentrated musical works. He has, however on occasional written more expansive pieces, including one big orchestral piece for the Berlin Philharmonic and some works for large chorus. Obsessively self-critical, Kurtág disavowed most of the music he wrote before his mid-thirties, which included some for chorus, but a suggestion from the Italian avant-garde composer Luigi Nono that he write for chorus again resulted in a work that the BBC Singers premiered in London on today's date in 1981. It has an Italian title, Omaggio a Luigi Nono, or Tribute to Luigi Nono, ¬– a tip of the hat to his Italian colleague, but the work itself is a setting of bits of Russian poems. Now at the time of its premiere, 25 years after the Russian-led invasion of Hungary in 1956 and 10 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hungarian eyebrows were raised when Kurtág chose to set Russian texts. Disparaging or just plain “diss-ing” ANYTHING Russian was the normal M.O. for Hungarian intellectuals in those days. Kurtág, for his part, stood his ground: as an ardent Dostoevsky's fan, he simply said Russian was a sacred language to him.

This breezy little two-line chorale doesn't seem like much, but it is Bach's setting of a tune that was very well known -- the German Magnificat.  This leads us down a rabbit hole of discussion about how this performance relates to BWV 10, a cantata that Bach based on this same tune.  We explore the tune and its psalm tone, and we delight in the way Bach sets the words "ewigkeit zu ewigkeit" (eternity to eternity) as continuous, neverending, rising figures in the choral parts. Chorale Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn (BWV 324) performed by Young Bach Fellows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6ehSlK7ij8 Netherlands Bach Society performs BWV 10, a cantata based on this same psalm tone (Marcus Creed, conductor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrSAMOojQ08

Music for Easteride - Episode 3 Today we will be exploring music responding to the most joyful word of all, ‘Alleluia', in different styles from different composers throughout history. Music included in this episode is: Marcel Peres and Ensemble Organum singing the Old Roman version of ‘Alleluia, Ales Barta playing Joseph Seger's ‘Fugue on the Easter Alleluia', Christopher Hogwood conducted the Academy of Ancient Music in the first movement from Josef Haydn's ‘Alleluia' Symphony, no. 30, in C major, The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir singing two psalms from Sergei Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil, directed by Paul Hillier, Rene Jacobs conducted the Choir of Clare College Cambridge and the Freiburger Barockorchester in that exhilarating performance of the ‘Hallelujah' Chorus from Handel's ‘Messiah' and Sir James MacMillan's ‘Alleluia', beautifully performed by the SWR Vokal Ensemble and Marcus Creed.

25 April 2020 | St. Mark | Roseburg, Ore. How are we supposed to be the Church while the churches are closed? Grab a hot beverage of your choice and join me and my dear friend (and long-time friend of this podcast!), Lisa, in a very special episode to talk about it! We’ll discuss how we’ve been trying to pray and live generously in quarantine, the spiritual meaning of this pandemic, habits and routines, despair, hope, refining fires, redemption, light, love, where the heck Jesus is hiding—and much, much more. IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: We had to record this podcast virtually from opposite ends of the state, and although it sounded fine while we were recording live, the timing is a little out of sync here! Unfortunately, we got mixed down into a single channel in the final file (try saying that 5 times fast), so there was no way to even it out. Anyway, we weren’t talking over each other in real life—promise! Opening music: “Misericordias Domini,” K. 222, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by the Rias Chamber Chorus and Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marcus Creed, 2017.

The Sixteen, Harry Christophers from "Monteverdi: Selva morale e spirituale, Vol. 1" (Coro) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This Album Without doubt, Monteverdi was the greatest of the early baroque European composers. He revolutionized the music of the theater and the church by his dramatic and imaginative use of voices and instruments and by his daring harmonies and rhythms. Next to his Vespers of 1610, the Selva morale e spiritual of 1641 is his most significant and virtuosic collection of sacred music. Over the next few years we intend to record the complete publication with a variety of forces. His much performed Beatus vir is a mere appetizer for this delightful yet thrilling music.BYU Men's Chorus "Goin' Home" (mp3) from "The Pilgrim's Journey Home" (Tantara Records) Buy at iTunes Music Store More On This AlbumLift your spirits with a brand-new collection of inspirational folk hymns and songs. Although life may be difficult, the youthful and energetic voices of the BYU Combined Choirs and Orchestra will inspire and strengthen you on your own journey home.Florilegium & Arakaendar Bolivia Choir, Ashley Solomon "Fuera, Fuera! Haganles Lugar!" (mp3) from "Bolivian Baroque Vol. 3" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album Welcome to our third volume of Bolivian Baroque music which was, unusually, recorded in three different venues, in two different countries almost 6250 miles apart. This time the majority of the CD was recorded in Holland (in both the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam and the Doopsgezinde Kerk in Deventer) during Arakaendar Bolivia Choirís first tour of Europe with Florilegium in 2008. In addition we have included a number of solo organ pieces from the Bolivian archives which James Johnstone recorded on the restored anonymous 18th century Blockwerk organ in the Mission Church of Santa Ana de Velasco. This is the first European recording on this remarkable instrument, its raw sound recorded here for posterity. The music on this volume differs considerably from the other two Channel Classics recordings (CCS 22105 & CCS 24806) as it mainly showcases Arakaendar Bolivia, the choir I set up in 2005. They continue to thrive and have shown tremendous commitment and determination in preparing this challenging and varied programme. We were delighted to be nominated by BBC Music Magazine for the best choir recording of 2008 for our last CD recording, as well as receiving our 5th Editorís Choice from Gramophone magazine. I hope this new volume is received as warmly.The Choir of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Duncan Ferguson "Leroy Kyrie" (mp3) from "John Taverner: Sacred Choral Music" (Delphian Records) Buy at Napster Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Amazon MP3 More On This Album John Taverner brought the English florid style to its culmination and final flowering; his music is quite unlike anything written by his continental contemporaries and, viewed retrospectively, represents not only the culmination of one period but also the beginning of something new. In his debut recording with the critically acclaimed Edinburgh choir, Duncan Ferguson presents this music with forces akin to those of the sixteenth century ñ a small group of children and a larger number of men. The singers respond with their characteristic freshness, and an emotional authenticity born of the daily round of liturgical performance.Johann Sabastian Bach: MotetsVocalconsort Berlin, Marcus Creed from "Johann Sebastian Bach: Motets" (Harmonia Mundi) More On This Album Album will be availble online around March 22, 2011 The Vocalconsort Berlin was founded in 2003 and made its debut the same year in Monteverdi's LíOrfeo under the direction of RenÈ Jacobs at the Innsbruck Festival. The ensemble specialises in early and high Baroque repertoire, but also interprets Romantic and contemporary music. The Vocalconsort¥s composition can range from quartet to polychoral formations, including also solo performances. It sings both in concert and in operatic and theatrical productions. Under the direction of Marcus Creed, RenÈ Jacobs, Jos van Immerseel and Ottavio Dantone, the ensemble has worked with the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin and the Accademia Bizantina. With the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin, it has participated since 2006 in the projects of Sasha Waltz & Guests at Radialsystem V, the new venue for interaction of the arts on the Spree. Marcus Creed, artistic director of the SWR Vokalensemble (South West German Radio Choir) since 2003, studied at Kingís College Cambridge, Christ Church Oxford, and at the Guildhall School of Music in London. From 1977 to 1998 he lived in Berlin, where he was chorusmaster at the Deutsche Oper, taught lied interpretation at the Hochschule der K¸nste, and worked as pianist and conductor with the Gruppe Neue Musik and the Scharoun Ensemble. From 1987 he was artistic director of the RIAS Kammerchor, being awarded many international prizes for his recordings. He has formed close working relationships with the Akademie f¸r Alte Musik Berlin, the Freiburger Barockorchester and Concerto Kˆln, and has appeared at festivals in Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Montreux, Edinburgh, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Donaueschingen, Strasbourg, and Gˆttingen. He was appointed Professor of Choral Conducting at the Hochschule f¸r Musik in Cologne in 1998. His recordings of works by Bruckner, Ives, Nono, and Kurt·g with the SWR Vokalensemble have received a number of awards from the critics.
