Narrazione

Voce bianca

C’est à l’apogée de son art, ayant alors écrit la quasi-totalité de ses cantates, que Johann Sebastian Bach se tourne vers un nouveau genre, celui de l’oratorio. Comment ne pas y déceler l’influence des Abendmusiken qui l’avaient tant impressionné lors de sa visite à Lübeck, une trentaine d’années auparavant ? Si l’Oratorio de Noël (Weihnachtsoratorium) est très fréquemment exécuté en version réduite, Christophe Rousset livre avec talent l’œuvre dans sa version intégrale.

L’oratorio est une grande fresque biblique de l’Incarnation, étalant à la façon d’un vitrail une narration chapitrée mais continue. Il se compose de six cantates (BWV 248 1-6) destinées à être chantées dans les églises Saint-Thomas et Saint-Nicolas de Leipzig, dans lesquelles Bach officiait, successivement pendant les services du jour, du lendemain et du surlendemain de Noël, du Nouvel an – fête de la Circoncision du Christ –, du dimanche suivant et de l’Épiphanie.

La volonté didactique est loin d’être évincée par le caractère narratif de l’œuvre. Tout s’éclaire, tout devient certitude. Dieu s’est incarné, mais c’est par ses souffrances qu’il triomphera de la mort ; la naissance est associée au chemin de croix, au sacrifice divin. L’évidence d’une Rédemption s’affirme au début et à la fin de ce cycle musical. Le piétisme ambiant de Leipzig, dont Johann Sebastian Bach a longtemps été considéré comme un défenseur, est en fait clairement dépassé dans l’Oratorio de Noël par un profond mysticisme, affirmant un respect intime de l’orthodoxie luthérienne.

Johann Sebastian Bach was at the height of his creative powers, having composed virtually all of his cantatas, when he turned to a new genre: oratorio. We cannot help detecting in his Christmas Oratorio (Weihnachtsoratorium) the influence of the Abendmusiken (evening concerts taking place on five Sundays in the year) organised by Buxtehude in Lübeck, which had so impressed the young Bach some thirty years previously. If the work is very frequently executed in a shortened version, Christophe Rousset presents it with talent in its entirety.

The oratorio relates the biblical story of the Nativity. It takes the form of a cycle of six cantatas (BWV 248 1-6) written for the 1734-35 Christmas season in Leipzig, to be performed in the churches of St Thomas and St Nicholas, where Bach held the position of musical director. The cantatas were intended to be presented one on each of the six major feast days of that period : Christmas Day, 26 December, 27 December, New Year’s Day, the first Sunday after New Year’s Day, and finally, Epiphany.

For many of the movements, Bach paraphrased two earlier secular cantatas written the previous year: Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen (BWV 213) and Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten (BWV 214). Like the St Matthew and St John Passions, the Christmas Oratorio includes a tenor Evangelist, who narrates the story of the birth of Jesus as it appears in Matthew and Luke. The Evangelist’s recitatives are in recitativo secco (accompanied by simple chords), whereas the other recitatives have obbligato instruments or string accompaniment. Unity is provided by lyrical meditations or arias. It is now generally agreed that the German poet Picander compiled the libretto.
