Osterdialog »Weib, was weinest du"
Heinrich Schütz
20.443/06
Choral Score
Heinrich Schütz’s Osterdialog (Dialogo per la Pascua) SWV 443 for four voices and basso continuo is based on an episode from the Gospel of St John, in which the risen Jesus appears before Mary Magdalene in front of the empty grave. Schütz had also composed a setting of this scene shortly before in 1623 in his Auferstehungshistorie [Resurrection History]. For the first time this edition contains an attempt to reconstruct the extensive final chorus of the work, which is missing except for the basso continuo part, by Helmut Lauterwasser. This musical jewel by Schütz represents a valuable addition to the musical repertoire for Easter, which is smaller than the Passiontide repertoire.2.443/5: full score without cover and without final chorus2.443/6: choral score, only final chorus
