Norwegian translation

23-05-2016

Karl Aksel was so kind to inform and correct me about a Norwegian translation Hans found on the site of Eirik Sørborg. Hans did not know the author of the translation. Karl Aksel wrote to me:

…I noticed a translation from Eirik Sørborg’s now defunct site at www.viten.no, and you mention that you did not know who the author of the translation was. The translator is Ragnhild Foss, and it is a poetic translation rather than an accurate one. Moreover, the Latin is based on mixed verses from both the “analecta” as well as the “Vatican” versions. Specifically, verse 18 (inflammatus et accensus) is from the “analecta” version, whereas verse 19 (Christe, cum sit hinc exire) is from the Vatican version. This blend is from Knut Nystedt’s opus 111, for mixed choir and cello. Why it mixes from both versions, I couldn’t say. Of course, verse 18 can be translated in the same way regardless of version, but Nystedt’s score (where this particular translation is listed) mixes the versions as I have described.

Thank you very much, Karl

July 5th, Bremen, Church of our Lady. I noticed groups of little figures in a glass display case showing scenes from the passion of Jesus. They are made by the woodcutters David Guenou and his son Daniel from Togo in Africa. They converted to Christianity in the the sixties when a priest from Bremen was a missionary in Togo. The woodcarving was a present from the Togo Parish. By the way: we loved Bremen during our cycling trip in Germany.

Art Stations of the Cross 2019 Amsterdam Nr. 6 Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Güler Ates, Water no longer dances with light, new site specific work. In the Stations of the Cross, Veronica is the woman who helps Jesus persevere. She confronts us with the classic question: In whom do we invest, convinced that the person can make a difference in this world? Who can lean on us? Güler Ates grew up in the mystic tradition of East Turkey. She is based in London and works with video, photography, printmaking and performance. One of the core elements in her work is cultural displacement. She studies the interaction of Eastern and Western cultures.

Project Art Stations of the Cross Amsterdam. Nr. 5 Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross. It is the contemplation of the suffering caused by the slave trade, in which traders from Amsterdam were also involved. Iris Kensmil, an artist with a Surinam background, has painted portraits of three eighteenth-century individuals from Surinam who managed to secure for themselves a position and a future in opposition to colonial oppression. (Their actual likenesses are unknown.) Just like Simon of Cyrene, who stopped to help Jesus by carrying his cross, these people resisted injustice. The triptych hangs amongst the group portraits in the Amsterdam Gallery as a call to action.

In 1997 I created the Ultimate Stabat Mater website for Hans with the program FrontPage. At that time he had around 40 Stabat Mater CDs. His notes on the composer, the music, the texts and translations and the different versions all came online. After this he managed the site by adding new composers and translations regularly. At the time of his death in 2005 he had 211 Stabat Maters. After his death I continued collecting the information and managing the site. I wish to thank the Dutch Stabat Mater Foundation which gave me the financial support in 2014 to renew this site!
