NoonSong - Song & Prayer

Jewish traditions in NoonSong - The Psalms that are sung every week in NoonSong belong to the core of the
Jewish books. However, as they are only sung in polyphony in reformed
synagogues, there is only a small repertoire compared to the countless psalm
settings from the Christian churches.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Gemälde von Eduard Magnus, 1846



Mendelssohn's compositions that can be heard today were written for the Anglican service. With his great setting of the Jewish liturgy, the Swiss-American composer Bloch created artistically outstanding music that continues to set standards today.

  • Preces: John Tavener (1944-2013): Preces & Responses
  • Tagespsalm: Psalm 55 Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847): Hör mein Bitten
  • Wochenpsalm: Psalm 19b Ernest Bloch (1880-1959): Yih‘yu L‘ratzon
  • Canticum: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847): My soul doth magnify the Lord (op. 69,3)
  • Choral: Melchior Vulpius (1570-1615): Zieh an die Macht, du Arm des Herrn

NoonSong - what's that?

Every Saturday at noon, locals, visitors to Berlin, music lovers and admirers of architecture alike attend NoonSong. It is a concert and a church service in equal measure.  Eight professional singers from the vocal ensemble sirventes berlin, led by Stefan Schuck, sing choir music. The repertoire ranges from music from the Renaissance to contemporary compositions.
