Podcasts about Paul Gerhardt

This weekend we are studying a hymn by Lutheran Pastor, Paul Gerhardt. Gerhardt lived about 100 years after Luther and in a very difficult time, politically and religiously. The Thirty Years War rages. Religious turmoil created havoc. He was familiar with persecution and tragedy. Three children died in infancy as well as a son and his wife in later years. He was forced to conform to false teaching or leave his call as pastor. His church and home were destroyed by war. But in all of this, Gerhardt remained confident of the Lord's power and Christ's victory over sin, death and every enemy he might face. This hymn was based on the Apostle Paul's words to the Romans: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:31-39)  The hymn highlights the truth that God's love for us is sure because it is seen in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. God is also more powerful than anything we will face in this life. And if God loves us so much that He gave His Son into death for us, what won't He do for us, that is for our ultimate good? When you face challenges and loss in this life, look to Jesus and His cross. See the love of Jesus which is greater than any enemy we might face. Be assured of God's love and His power over death, sin, and Satan as well! Join us this weekend as gather to express our joy for that Love of God which surpasses all our understanding! May the LORD bless your joyful proclamation of God's love for you in Jesus this weekend!

How did the first Protestant hymns start? Who were the most important hymn writers? And how could they write so much about gladness while living through the pain and horrors of the Thirty-Years War? Trinity, Sean, and Grace sit down with Dr. Paul Grime, Dean of Spiritual Formation and Dean of the Chapel at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to discover the answers to these questions and more.

Paul Gerhardt's Easter hymn fits perfectly as the first words sung by Christians gathered for an Easter sunrise service. The reality of the empty tomb on Easter banishes sadness and fills us with gladness. Though the foe thought he had won the victory when Jesus lay dead and buried, in fact, the Savior has routed his enemy. Jesus' complete victory over all enemies—sin, death, and devil—is comfort and joy for all those who trust in Him. Jesus is the Mighty Warrior who has given His victory to us. Even in death, we know that we have eternal life in the Crucified and Risen One who will raise us on the Last Day. Find this hymn at hymnary.org/hymn/LSB2006/467. Rev.

Lutheran Service Book 467 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb; But lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it doth impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me hath won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; It is a pow'rless form, Howe'er it rave and storm. 5 The world against me rages, Its fury I disdain; Though bitter war it wages, Its work is all in vain. My heart from care is free, No trouble troubles me. Misfortune now is play, And night is bright as day. 6 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er He passes through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain; He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow Him through all. 7 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold, Whereon this rhyme immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross has shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me has died Shall here be glorified."

Just as the three wise men brought their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the young Christ, so also this trio brings their soprano voice, viola da gamba, and theorbo (a lute variant) as musical gifts.... and we, the listeners, are the ones who are lucky enough to receive these gifts.  Here we discover the plain serenity of this original hymn tune by Bach, set to simple accompaniment, and paired with a tender Christmas text by the venerated hymnist Paul Gerhardt. Performance of "Ich steh an deiner Krippen hier" (BWV 469) by Viola Blache, Mieneke van der Velden, and Mike Fentross for the Netherlands Bach Society Speaking of gifts -- we must, as always, thank the Netherlands Bach Society and the evergreen gift they provide for the world, the All of Bach project.  They are working to complete a full set of high-quality recordings of Bach's complete oeuvre, along with video for each piece.  This is a staggering amount of music.  These are the recordings we have used on this podcast since its inception.  Thanks again to the Netherlands Bach Society for granting permission to use these excellent recordings.

Paul Gerhardt's marvelous hymn text is fitting both for Lent and Holy Week. We sing of Jesus as the Lamb of God who goes willingly into sacrifice to bear our sin and be our Savior. He gives His spotless life in place of our sinful lives gladly, treating us as His friends. Jesus does this as the true Son of God at the command of His Father, who desires our salvation. This great love that God has for us is His strength to save us, so that now we stand before His throne in the righteousness of Christ. Rev.

"For mig har det haft betydning at mærke den særlige tone af tillid og fortrøstning til Gud, som Paul Gerhardt gennem hele sit liv lagde for dagen på trods af al tilværelsens hårdhed. Paul Gerhardt har gennem alle årene givet os stor opbyggelse gennem sin salmeskat," fortæller Keld Gaarn-Larsen i samtale med Jóannis Fonsdal. Paul Gerhardt var en tysk salmedigter og præst fra 1600-tallet. I Den Danske Salmebog findes der hele 16 af hans inspirerende salmer, hvoraf "Befal du dine veje" nok er den mest kendt, og som vi hører små stykker af undervejs, spillet af Viola Chiekezi på orglet i Emdrup Kirke.

April 23 2023 recording of “SEE WHAT TODAY IS DONE” – By David Von Kampen Led by Jolene Burke, 40 singers, 15 strings, and a pianist combined to bring this worshipful sound of joy to God in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Tim provides some commentary on each of the 5 songs and then the Cantata is played in entirety. Music begins at the 9 minute mark and the lyrics are below. Movement 1:  “He is Arisen! Glorious Word!” He is arisen! Glorious Word! Now reconciled is God, my Lord; The gates of heav'n are open. My Jesus did triumphant die, And Satan's arrows broken lie, Destroyed hell's fiercest weapon. Oh, hear what cheer! Christ victorious Rising glorious, Life is giving. He was dead but now is living! Text by Brigitte Katerine Boye (1742-1824), tr. George A.T. Rygh (1860-1942) Movement 2:“A Sound of Exultation” Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever. Let Israel now proclaim, "His mercy endures for ever." The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. There is a sound of exultation and victory in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! the right hand of the Lord is exalted! the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!" I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-17, 24 (ESV) Movement 3:  “Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands” Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand He stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of alleluia! Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, His people to deliver; Destroying sin, He took the crown From death's pale brow forever: Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; An empty form alone remains; Its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! Text by Martin Luther (1483-1546), tr. Richard Massie (1800-87)   Movement 4: “Job 19:25” For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.   Movement 5: “Awake, My Heart, With Gladness” Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. Text by Paul Gerhardt (1607-76), tr. John Kelly (1833-90)

Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs Translated by John Kelly

 Denne fasteserien gir oss et glimt av bakgrunnshistorien til og innholdet i viktige pasjonssalmer fra kirkens historie. Pasjonssalmene kretser rundt Jesu lidelseshistorie og er velegnet til å bruke i eget andaktsliv i fastetiden.  

Unser Gartengrundstück ist nicht sonderlich groß. Aber im März vergangenen Jahres erblühten dort über 300 Narzissen. Was war das für ein malerischer Anblick!Der Pfarrer und Kirchenliederdichter Paul Gerhardt (1607–1676) erwähnte diese hübschen Blumen in seinem bekannten Lied »Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud«. Darin werden die Schönheiten von Gottes Schöpfung zur warmen Jahreszeit besungen. Der Mann hatte ein aufmerksames Auge für die Natur. Vor allem aber lehrten die Blumen ihn eine Theologie, die er in seinem Lied vermitteln wollte. Einerseits erinnerten die Narzissen ihn an Gottes freundliche Fürsorglichkeit, wie Jesus sie in der Bergpredigt lehrte. Wenn Gott schon die Blumen so herrlich kleidet, die heute im Garten blühen, dann als Strauß ein paar Tage die Wohnung schmücken und schlussendlich auf dem Komposthaufen landen, wie viel mehr wird er sich dann um die Menschen kümmern, die ihm vertrauen.Zum anderen sah Paul Gerhardt in der Blütenpracht einen Vorgeschmack auf den Himmel, den ewigen Lebensraum der Kinder Gottes. Er hatte die Grausamkeiten des Dreißigjährigen Krieges miterlebt. Wenn aber schon auf dieser leidgeplagten Erde die Schönheiten der Blumen uns erfreuen können, wie unvorstellbar schöner wird es erst im Himmel sein, wo es kein Leid, keine Sünde, keinen Schmerz und keine Träne mehr geben wird.Zuletzt aber richtet die Narzisse auch ermahnende Worte an uns wegen ihrer begrenzten Blütezeit. »Der Mensch – wie Gras sind seine Tage, wie die Blume des Feldes, so blüht er.« Heute gesund, morgen krank, übermorgen nicht mehr da – so könnte man den Lebenslauf des Menschen kurz beschreiben. Darum rät uns die Bibel zu einer frühzeitigen Entscheidung für Jesus Christus.Diese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

Mit seinem Morgenlied „Lobet den Herren“ macht uns Paul Gerhardt einen Vorschlag, wie wir unseren christlichen Lebensstil gestalten können. In manchen dieser Strophen finden sich seit Generationen Menschen wieder – bis heute. (19.2.2023, EG 447)

Ein Choral ist Bach nicht genug, deshalb präsentiert er im Eingangschor gleich zwei (oder sogar drei?) Choräle. Auch in der Ariengestaltung geht Bach an Grenzen. Ist diese Kantate ein bewusstes Finalstück des Jahrgangs?

Zum Jubiläums-Podcast Nr. 150 gibt es einen brisanten, durchaus politisch motivierten Friedenschoral, eine neue Rekordmeldung in Sachen Koloraturlänge und einen Höreraufruf!

Gleich fünf Strophen aus dem Choral von Paul Gerhardt übernimmt Bach in seine Kantate und zeigt damit fünffach, wie unterschiedlich er einen Cantus firmus bearbeiten kann. Kein Wunder, dass die Kantate Überlänge hat.

Paul Gerhardt stellt in seinem Adventslied die Adventsfrage schlechthin: Wie soll ich dich, Gott, empfangen, wenn Advent doch heißt: Gott kommt zu uns? Seine Antwort überrascht – und zeigt die große seelsorgerliche Kraft, die in seinen Liedern steckt.

Rev. Carl Roth, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Lutheran Service Book #334, “O Lord, How Shall I Meet You.” Paul Gerhardt's Advent text helps us to prepare to welcome the Lord with joy, knowing that He is the One who prepares us to meet Him. As the Palm Sunday crowds once welcomed Jesus with palms and praises, so we continue to greet Jesus with songs of “Hosanna” as He comes to us in the Sacrament of the Altar. He has come because of His great love for us sinners, and because He has come, we are set free from the burden of sin and long for the Day when He returns to take us to our eternal home. “The Hymns of Advent'' is a series on Sharper Iron that looks at a variety of the hymns found in the Advent section Lutheran Service Book. The season of Advent prepares us for Christ's coming. The hymns of Advent teach that this is more than getting ready for Christmas; the Word of the Lord sung in hymnody helps us to receive Christ as He comes to us now in the means of grace and when He comes again in glory on the Last Day.

The Gospel writers include two minor characters in their telling of the crucifixion in order to pull the reader into the middle of the story and find themselves forgiven by and simultaneously called to follow the crucified Jesus.

© The Tin Pan Alley Podcast; Intro melody by Brooke Alexx In this episode, I got to talk to the wonderful Sarah Kaiser who has not only been an inspiration to me personally, but who continues to inspire others on their musical journeys as well – as a vocal coach, gospel choir director, and through her own music. We talked about the meaning of faith and creativity, German poet Paul Gerhardt, Sarah's latest Christmas album “Vom Himmel Hoch” (English: “From heaven above”), and her exciting and formative years in London, the United States, and Berlin. --- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahkaiserlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahkaiserband About Sarah: Sarah Kaiser is a passionate singer. She has been active as a singer, choir director and vocal coach since the late 1990s. She has published 6 solo albums and 3 albums with the renowned German vocal jazz quartett Berlin Voices to date. Over 50.000 albums sold so far with her very own, unique musical blend of Jazz, Soul, Gospel and Pop. In the fall of 2020, she released her latest album, a Christmas album: Vom Himmel Hoch. This time not only accompanied by her band but by a string quartet, letting each of the 12 tracks, often centuries-old and well known, shine in a new, bright light, intimate and energetic at the same time. Sarah regularly performs with her band. She has received concert invitations from the German government (Bundestag), to diverse jazz festival such as the Jazztage Dresden, ENJOY Jazzfestival and jazzopen Stuttgart, has shared the stage with German artists such als Heinz-Rudolf Kunze or die Prinzen, and has played a variety of festivals and events. The most exotic tour destination of the Sarah Kaiser Band so far has been Saudi Arabia. 2004 Sarah was awarded „Best Artist 2003“ at the Promikon Artist Fair in Gießen. In 2011, she received the IMPALA Award. Choir directing is one of Sarah's passions: for six years, she led the young gospel choir Soul 2 Soul, started in Berlin Marzahn as part of a social and cultural youth work there. The Berlin-based Gospelchoir inspired! was also founded and led by her until 2012. In 2014 she directed a Flashmob choir for a special pre-christmas performance orchestrated by Berliner Stadtmission in one of Berlin's biggest department store. In 2019, she founded her latest gospelchoir Praise Connection. Sarah Kaiser works as a vocal coach both in her private studio and at the Berlin School of Popular Arts as well as at Berlin's UdK (University of the Arts) C-Seminar. She leads seminars and workshops for singers and choirs, especially on the topics of solo vocal performance, improvisation and (gospel) choir. She also works as a studio session singer.

Many popular Advent and Christmas traditions come to us from the German-speaking world—the Advent wreath, the Advent calendar, the Christmas tree—and the hymnody of the season is no exception. Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming, written in a monastic community in Trier in the Rhineland-Palatinate, refers to Jesus as a flower much in the same way as the book of Isaiah does (“… a shoot from the stump of Jesse” Isaiah 11:1; “For He grew up before Him like a young plant…” Isaiah 53:2). The German composer Felix Mendelssohn thought that the tune from his Festgesang, Op. 68 “would never do to sacred words.” But he was proven quite wrong when it was published with Charles Wesley's text “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” in 1861, becoming one of the world's most beloved Christmas carols. Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), a Lutheran pastor and poet from the seventeenth century, supplies two of this morning's hymns. All My Heart This Night Rejoices uses images such as “angel voices” and a “star from afar” to evoke the joy we feel at the coming of the Conqueror who overthrows sin, woe, death and hell. Less well known is O Savior Dear, Thy Manger Here, sung to a tune by the composer Johann Crüger whom Gerhardt met in Berlin and collaborated with numerous times. The gentle, child-like hymn is a study in contrasts: the humble manger is a paradise of glory; He who calms the winds and seas is given to us as an infant; the taint of Adam's fall is erased by Christ's saving grace. —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Fulfill, Prophet, Virgin, Immanuel, Commanded, Name, Jesus, Birth Keystone Verse: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). (Matthew 1:23) Bulletin Matthew 1:22-25 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called His name Jesus.

Paul Gerhardt, the great hymnwriter and pastor, asks "O Lord, How Shall I Meet You?" This is a good question as we enter a new Church Year. Listen to the service for the First Sunday in Advent at Grace Lutheran Church, Lexington, MO.

When everything we find our identity in is taken away, Jesus promises to bring about a new creation where he is all in all.

Readings* Psalm 12* Psalm 9* Deuteronomy 28:1–22* Matthew 18:1–20* Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Art. XXIII 50-59CommemorationToday we commemorate Philipp Nicolai, Johann Heermann, and Paul Gerhardt, Hymnwriters. Philipp Nicolai was a German pastor who lived through the Great Plague, which took the lives of thirteen hundred members of his parish. Despite hardships, he contributed hymns which the Church uses to this day — among them, “Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying” and “O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright”. Johann Heermann was a German pastor who lived through the Thirty Years' War, and contributed a number of hymns to the corpus. Paul Gerhardt was a German pastor who also lived through the Thirty Years' War, lost his pastoral position for refusing to compromise his beliefs, and wrote over one hundred hymns; he is regarded as one of Lutheranism's finest hymnwriters.ReaderCorey J.

In der zehnten Episode führen unsere Ermittlungen direkt ins Epizentrum der klassischen Musik, zu Bach, dem „Anfang und Ende aller Musik” wie Max Reger versicherte. Beethoven sprach von einem „unendlichen, unerschöpflichen Reichtum an Tonkombinationen und Harmonien” und schlug vor: „Nicht Bach, sondern Meer soll er heißen!” Wie kommt es dann, dass die Melodie eines seiner bekanntesten Choräle „O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” gar nicht von ihm stammt, ja dass dieses so bekannte Passionslied einst ein Liebeslied war, dessen Melodie ein Musikautomatenerfinder aus Nürnberg komponiert hat? Gleich fünfmal taucht diese Melodie in Bachs Matthäuspassion auf, zweimal in seinem Weihnachtsoratorium, immer wieder neu, immer wieder anders. Bei den Ermittlungen mit dabei unser Experte, Hansjörg Albrecht, künstlerischer Leiter des Münchener Bach-Chores und Bach-Orchesters, Organist und Cembalist. Er gilt als „musikalischer Grenzgänger ohne Berührungsängste”, beherrscht „Die Kunst der Orgeltranskription“ und ist vor allem ein versierter Bachkenner. Ein Podcast von CRESCENDO in Kooperation mit der Deutschen Welle.

IN THIS EPISODE: "Commit Thou All That Grieves Thee" by Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) Suddenly, there was a noise at the window. All eyes turned toward the sound, and they were shocked to see a black bird at the window sill, pecking the pane. Dobry knew exactly what it was, for this was an old friend. Several years before, Dobry's grandfather had taken a raven out of the nest. The old man had tamed it, and then set it at liberty. Now it had returned.

IN THIS EPISODE: "Now All the Woods Are Sleeping" by Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) On the slope of the hill stood a cottage, where a mother sat at the bed of her sick child. From fear of endangering the life of her little one, she would not, in the cold September night, flee with it to the woods, as most of the other inhabitants had done. But now, when the firing and murdering began in the place, and the smoke of the burning houses came down from the hill into the valley, then the poor lone woman was fearful unto death.
