about
To the mediæval mind, the forest of ‘leafless’ barren thorn-wood symbolized the state of the fallen sinful world, the seven years of barrenness symbolized a very long time indeed, and the reappearance of roses on the thorn-wood represented the world returning to its pre-sinful state. Stefan Claas was born in Bayreuth and studied church music in Munich and Frankfurt. He has been conducting the Kammerchores Ars Antiqua Aschaffenburg since 1999.
lyrics
Maria durch ein’ Dornwald ging,
Kyrieleison!
Maria durch ein’ Dornwald ging,
Der hat in sieben Jahren kein Laub getragen.
Jesus und Maria.
Was trug Maria unter ihrem Herzen?
Kyrieleison!
Ein kleines Kindlein ohne Schmerzen,
Das trug Maria unter ihrem Herzen.
Jesus und Maria.
Da haben die Dornen Rosen getragen,
Kyrieleison!
Als das Kindlein durch den Wald getragen,
Da haben die Dornen Rosen getragen.
Jesus und Maria.
Mary wandered through a wood [forest] of thorns
Lord, have mercy!
Mary wandered through a wood of thorns,
Which was leafless for seven years.
Jesus and Mary.
What did Mary bear beneath her heart?
Lord, have mercy!
A little babe without sorrow,
Whom Mary bore beneath her heart.
Jesus and Mary.
Then roses on the thorns appeared,
Lord, have mercy!
As the babe was carried through the woods,
Then roses on the thorns appeared.
Jesus and Mary.
Kyrieleison!
Maria durch ein’ Dornwald ging,

Was trug Maria unter ihrem Herzen?

Ein kleines Kindlein ohne Schmerzen,

Da haben die Dornen Rosen getragen,
Kyrieleison!
Als das Kindlein durch den Wald getragen,
Da haben die Dornen Rosen getragen.
Jesus und Maria.

Then roses on the thorns appeared.
