Gottesdienst 04.12.2022 mit Jahreskonzert der Jungen Posaunen Schönaich

what makes you want more of this music a monumental beginning of the young trombone cut everything dear guests and listeners what awaits you tonight and with this I would like to warmly welcome you to the annual concert of the young brass musicians of Schnarch under the direction from Birgit Schwörer, it is a pleasure to have you here and to have found your way to the Laurentiuskirche in Schöneich. My name is Damaris and I have been in Tanzania for a year and spent a year abroad and that is why I am wearing this. In Tanzania they say kitenge and I am going to carry it as a companion to the presenter throughout the evening, especially if you want to accompany the evening even more, here is a booklet and in it the pieces of the eyelids are written and then.

You have a little bit of a thread about what to expect and the theme for tonight, as you can already read, rise and shine, and the next song that awaits you is Rise and Shine by Christian Sprenger and this is a piece with a wonderful dynamic of short, concise tones and at the same time a virtual theme that runs through all the voices like a common thread and in the end it is a very strange ending, music and light harmonize in a wonderful show, stay tuned, I hope exactly and we will continue with a beautiful new beautiful different song, the song is called Sun of Justice, arranged by Michael Schütz, the image of a sun of justice was created by the prophet Prophets are most easily coined in three verses 2 but you who I fear that my name will rise under their wings the sun of justice and salvation the theme is the desire for justice and harmony was in the community between churches and between peoples Otto Riedmüller who later became a prominent personality of the Confessing Church compiled the text of this Known total chorale of ancient verses that Michael Schütz's group makes new ones out of old ones.

Yes, I'm very happy to be here tonight. It's been a while since I was there. At an Advent concert, I am even happier to be able to be there today, since I was there a little earlier and also saw a bit of the rehearsals. Great, I think it's very nice. Yes, for me so far it's been 2021. That was my year, I guess it's probably hit most people by now. In my case, I was imagining a kind of phantom pain for weeks, I had a very strange itchy throat, I had a cough, I had a runny nose and I had a cold.

I listened intensely to my body and touched very strange things and at some point I came to the decision to which is fine, I'm immune and no one can harm me, everything was fine for me and then I had to find out a short time later that my PCR test came back positive If you get Corona, two weeks of quarantine, two weeks of lying in bed and without being able to go out, two weeks that luckily were not so bad for me if they forced me. If I take a break from my everyday life, then it's always the perfect opportunity for me to finally revisit the Star Wars triologies.

I'm a big fan of the Star Wars movies. I know them inside out and that's always perfect when you're basically sick in bed, so you can turn on the movie and then know exactly when you wake up, where you are now, what happened when you get to the end, just go back to sleep for the next one. , super precise. I don't think everyone is. You're probably familiar with Star Wars, so this is a very brief introduction. I can't explain it in detail now. Beyond the framework, Star Wars is a science fiction hero epic that is about the fight between the dark side and the light side of the Force, which is about resisting evil, choosing the light and never losing hope, yeah in the initially different ones.

Share that it was episodes 4, 5 and 6 where the galaxies are still dominated by the evil empire and the superior force is so terrifying. large and so dominant that any resistance is futile, but there is a small group of rebel fighters who simply have no hope and want to give up hope that at some point good will win, that the light will drive back the darkness and the empire What What fascinates me so much about these films is simply the theme of hope in the moment of greatest need, or especially because in mine I have also experienced my own life in my work as a social worker.

In psychiatry with people with mental illnesses, I very often face the dark side of power. I repeatedly experience desperate situations where people really lose hope and this affects me too, it always plunges me into darkness when loved ones have to leave, when. My father has to fight a chronic illness every day, I despair when my brother breaks contact with me over a difference of opinion, and when divorce is imminent, an entire family closes down, destroys and brings out the worst in people. when they keep telling me stories at my job that I just don't want to believe because I can't imagine that people can do such bad things to other people when I keep falling into my patterns of behavior and this is exactly when the dark side is strongest and the empire It seems so invincible, so great that there is no hope.

In such situations, I am suddenly yanked from my everyday life with a jolt of light and catapulted into darkness. Now I leave you alone, get up. become light, because your light comes and the glory of the Lord is born upon you, because darkness covers the earth and darkens the people, but the Lord arises upon you and his glory appears upon you Isaiah 60 1-2 Yes, these verses were written in the situation where the people of Israel finally returned home after a long captivity in exile, they had hoped that things would get better again, that prosperity was waiting for them, that things would be good again and they had to give counts quickly.

This is not the case, the old home as they knew it no longer existed, instead there was no paradise, there was poverty, anguish, sorrow, hopelessness in Jerusalem, an hour of greatest need and exactly in this need there is one of The Prophet Isaiah , the rebel fighter, does not want to lose hope, he hopes for a better future in a living and loving God who sees suffering and does not turn away and that is why he speaks in this particular situation to help all the desperate, discouraged and desolate in the world. hour of need to give a vicarious hope in a living God, let yourself be light, for your light comes and the glory of the Lord rises above you, for behold, darkness covers the earth and darkness over the nations, but the Lord is rises above you and his glory appears above you yes, as just mentioned, in these two heels there is this hope that God the light himself will come to his people, that suffering will end, the hope of consolation, for love, for a better place, for a better world, the hope that Jesus Christ comes to God, the Son of the Messiah himself.

His complete victory over darkness and death may certainly seem quite abstract to some people today, who in an emergency situation hopes for a better future through God or divine intervention, but to believers back then it was real. . It was truly a hope and so I see it again and again in my daily work that a new hope can emerge. They ignite new energy and develop new strength when suddenly people who thought there was no hope regain hope, so what happens to people? Then they begin to live again, they gain energy, then they awaken again and a force arises to leave the old behind, to start anew and the theme of hope is also reflected in the therapeutic medical context, there are so-called recovery models that also can be translated or in this model of recovery everyone is very concerned about the recovery and recovery of people who have an illness and there is just this aspect of indirect hope, a hope that someone close to you has, especially in the situation where that you find yourself, you have lost hope of improving as someone's representative and I would like to read you a short passage based on an essay by Sandro Blumenschreider and Susanne Dunst indirect hope indirect hope is a general phenomenon in successful relationships with others when someone is for me and with hope then he or she believes that I am valuable and can do something, another confirms that I am good in my heart, another informs me that my feelings are consistent, another is open to me and evaluates my concerns and needs, She doesn't listen to me but she hears me although I still can't believe her because I am caught up in my needs, her words reach me and have an effect on me.

Representative hope is the belief in me that becomes effective in me through another person by giving me the Having told others similar experiences, feelings and fears, both. Feeling that we belong to the same fallible human being. Waiting for others to escape the terrible feeling of being infinitely alone with all this deep suffering. Healing is a vicarious hope that I hope for you and with you that you will recover. I can't help but hope for a moment with you that things will be better and different. I mean and believe that I can take you through this phase where total collapse threatens at any moment and move on to brighter times.

I'm definitely telling you, Isaiah. At that time, faith assumed the role of representative hope for the people of Israel. In my life, faith, the Christian community assumed the role of representative hope because I believe in a God who loves. I unconditionally with all my defects, in a God who created me valuable, who formed Michi's womb has in a God who is bigger than all the problems, crises and worries of this world. I believe in a God who loves me as much as he does. He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in one will not perish but have eternal life in a God who seems so important to me that things be good again, that things get better again, I do believe it and I do it again. to feel and again in my fears, my worries and my needs, that is a representative hope for me.

Jesus Christ gives me what there is of you that will take your representative hope when darkness falls again. Yes and we would like to underline this with the following. This is the song it sounds like and we invite you to sing it, we do a prelude and then you get the use of the text. At the projector we sang once in English and once in German. This beautiful song that really lit a fire in you, welcome to now listen to the song called Lena's Song by Stefan Dannysson which is from the soundtrack of the movie like in heaven, the story of the movie is about the famous conductor Daniel the Rös because he returns to his Swedish hometown to recover physically and mentally from his heart. attack, he takes charge of the town church choir and faces the friends and concerns of the members of the mixed choir, his commitment to his music managed to help people and he himself rediscovers a new meaning and depth The beautiful and cheerful Lena, with whom Daniel enters a tender love story, plays an important role in his new courage in life.

He composes a song for her that is about how she freed him from her fears and heavy thoughts, the emotional film about her With the power of music, love. and life touches millions of people around the world. They then listen to the song Concerts of the Murders by Jacob the Rooster. It combines baroque pop and jazz, three different eras or styles. The dignified introduction sounds like a baroque overture. by its own section with a pop style because around a characteristic adiagio a motif ends and becomes an oscillating passage, after which the work ends with the return of the antiago part in my form.

Have fun listening. After these two lovely songs, we are. really immerse ourselves in the music of Advent, specifically in the Advent music of Friedrich feil, who has prepared very well-known Advent calendars of the Advent church, such as for example at the top of the door a magnificent Advent music, which we now Gets in the mood for the upcoming Christmas season Immerse yourself in these wonderful sounds as a choir director. I have the wonderful task of training girls and boys on the standard trombone instruments and I am pleased to introduce you today to the current youth brass group.

Sit in your place and then. Henrik and Hanna come and Julia can follow right behind them and Jan and Lisa come at the end and we have it again. Someone is Joel, who unfortunately is sick today. The group started last year in October and we didn't have it easy with all the corona requirements and yet you got through it all very well and together we grew into a great group in our practice. weekend We made beautiful colorful stars, we actually wanted to hang them but it turned out a little wrong, can the aroma take them away later?

Exactly and to combine with these beautiful colored stars we played the song Star over Bethlehem, a small excerpt from. the text Star over Bethlehem shows us the way to show us the cradle where it is, it shines before us until we get there, the star over Bethlehem leads us to the child here, he is very excited, but he did very well, wait. to your instrument in difficult conditions and today we can congratulate you with all our hearts for having completed your training as a young wind musician. You can just stand here on the front step and then you will receive your certificate along with our bike. , since I will receive your certificate, please come here, stand in front so everyone can see you, soWe have Mathis Metzger here now, we have the three butchers together and all three of them are with us on the UFOs, we are happy that he is.

Congratulations, yes, and David Kopfer too. We have an excellent brass player who always plays his tone well, friends, and congratulations on being with us. Then comes Leopold Krupp, who also has his dad in the choir and. It's also just for the family, it's good that you are there and it's always fun with you, so without them I think the group would be very fun and he ensures the right humor, thank you very much, Benjamin Kampradt Audio, congratulations on our weekend practice, you were actually the rigid one. We played a game to get to know each other and then he had his kangaroo pocket full of pieces of paper and then he won, so he was very active and that made us happy. you by completing the left side exactly and the zwissler bicycle says another blessing for you, the Lord bless his service, grant that his music brings fruits that heal the heart and soul.

Amen, all the best to you and now we can listen to the piece. joy to the world from you You can sit in your place and prepare yourself. The second verse is supported by the young wind musicians who are now in the choir who received their certificates three years ago and joy to the world is one of the most. Popular and Best Known Christmas Songs by George Frideric Handel, German Text to Be Merry, World, Your King, Needlework, Make Yours Doors away from the edge of grace in the act of the Lord of glory rejoice world your king is coming next the sounds them Assante Sana Jesus, which was transmitted orally from Tanzania from the Tanzanian language, the Tanzanian language is Heli and assantesana Assante means thank you in German and Sana means a lot and now I hope you have fun.

You can see the text here. and sing. Yes, since we have already honored young metal musicians and called them to come, we would like to take the opportunity and say a few words about someone else. Yes, from the middle of the big one we would also like to say. Many thanks to our choir directors and for their commitment, it was already heard over the weekend. We are a very inclusive choir. Young and old we make music together. Birk, of course, has certain challenges leading such a colorful group of young people. energy, they can barely sit still, the elderly have comparable energy levels in the areas, but the energy level is visible, especially in the morning hours, the old man has chronic myopia, chronic rhythm intolerance and has the other disease, save us for reasons of data protection and citizens, you are doing very well, you have it Perseverance, patience, long anger, love and so it sounds today is the result of your particular performance, that's why there is a great botanist on our side.

I'd say it looks pretty good, you have no idea, but it looks excellent. Today, she has been a choir director for 15 years and we, as a church community, do not want to be left out and I would like to thank you very much for your commitment. I always think it's great how they spend Thursdays here. It is always wonderful and especially now, after the Corona period, that we can celebrate this concert and on behalf of the church community also something to drink, but it can be seen, but there is more than just a small recognition because it does so in a way voluntary.

I have been a volunteer for 15 years, that's great, thank you very much and I will do it again. As you may have seen, there is a small symbol. on the back of the steering wheel and the symbol says Stove in front of the Marsai and that's exactly what I want you to do. Now you know what to say, exactly as I mentioned at the beginning, I was in Africa in Tanzania for a year. and right here in the image you can see the Herz logo in front of the master's degree. I was in Tanzania together with an organization of co-workers from Stuttgart and went there to the Herz project before my master's degree in Tanzania.

They have a total of. three projects, on the one hand there are the Malambo schools, there is a primary school and another leading school and the director of that one with all her heart at the head of the master's degree is Angelika Wohlenberg, who you can see here on the book cover, perhaps one or two of you know the cover of the book and she has been living in Tanzania for 30 or 40 years and she is a missionary there, she started there and then it happened. The school developed and then there is also a girls' dormitory in Akusha where about 20 girls live, they are the wise ones who no longer have parents or have problems at home, they do not have money to go to school, they live there at home and that It is exactly a project of Mr. before the Master, another is the mobile clinic there, it is a car and they go every day to the Maasai steppe and take care of the children of people who are sick and do not feel well and there they they give vaccines.

For example, here in the photo a child is weighed and exactly the Masai for those who don't know this is a town in Tanzania in Tanzania there are around 343 tribes and Tanzania and the Masai are one of them and I was basically with my alambo project this is in the middle of marsailand this was exactly my area where I lived for a year this is part of my lamp from the place where I was and this is the area below on the right below on the left you can see my two volunteers that I was with Benny and Mary and the three of us once went there.

We all lived there and that was exactly the area where we came to primary school for the first time. In primary school I taught with the children, we took care of the children and played there for my children, we supported the teachers, we helped. with class work in sports programs right here you can see the school yard every morning, the school started with a ensemble, then there were the children singing the Tanzanian national anthem and then sometimes there was prayer. Probably sometimes games are always made up of gameplay. songs and things like that and primary school goes from grade 1 to 7, so in Germany it is not from 1 to 4 but from 1 to 7 exactly and many children from the surrounding area go to school.

That's why it's quite difficult to have money exactly for the school and they go to school here because the school is sponsored by Mr. von der Marcel sponsored by sponsors from Germany and that means that the children can go to school there in very poor and the goal of Herforder Masse is to give children a good opportunity to receive development and education. Here are some photos that we helped in kindergarten. There we did a sports program with the children. We painted and did creative things with them and then we also taught them to read. English because the children there don't have many books at home apart from us a thousand toys 1000 books the maximum area where they are sewn together is socks or something like that so we don't like it very much and that's why they were always very happy with the English books that we We read and then asked questions.

Then we also teach them mathematics and help them learn my mental arithmetic and various other things. That's when sport was there too. We had fun doing sports with each other, he did a. acrobatics group with which I showed a little what they do in gymnastics and all that. Then we also went to another school which is the secondary school that goes from here classical like grades 8 to 12 right here you can see the students. The students also come from the surrounding area and they mostly come directly, so most of the students come directly from primary to secondary school, so from primary school to secondary school.

In high school we did it every other week, we did game shows. with them and we just showed what games you could do and then four times a week we taught computers, but you can't imagine it like we do. Well, in our case it's usually like everyone has a computer like that or you split into two people and they all have computers with Word and the same program. At first there were 12 computers for 40 students and then six of them broke down in the end. We still had five and each computer had a different system, then different programs and then.

You didn't have a keyboard, so it was sometimes quite difficult to do my computer lessons, but the children always had a lot of fun and everything turned out well. A lot of kids don't know anything about computers so first we had to explain what a computer really is because it's always Lambo so it's still a village, they've only really had cell phones there for five years and there's still no electricity so which ended solar electricity, exactly at that time for the Maasai we had. I would always go to Maasai families and visit them just to see where the kids lived at home, what kind of life exactly they have and that was all for huge kids.

Here you can see on the right side, this is a hut where the Maasai families live. Living sleeping in a house usually three to five people maybe more depends on how big it is but usually there are so many and the house is mainly made of cow shit and dirt exactly and to the right and left you can see the kitchen area where people cook, which Also in the cabin, on the far left there is a storage space where they keep their things, such as water, food or firewood. In the middle, there is a bed. The beds are arranged so that they have branches. one inside the other and on top of it there is a cow skin and that means there were three of us sleeping in the bed, so it was 150 long and 1 m long, something like that, it's pretty close, so I actually fell asleep.

I have never felt so tight. My life slept, but yes, somehow it was still relaxing exactly and on the far right you can see a place to cook again, exactly then the Masai so that they have something to live on, they have to get every day, so sometimes , since the day is very, very tiring. So for example on the left you can see there are now two spinsee where I get drinking water for the Maasai, water for showering, water for washing etc. and sometimes they run for an hour or two every day so they get water for their Daily necessities.

In the middle, on the dog, there is an image where they are. I went to where the family gets wood and we were out all day getting wood. We walked to the forest for an hour, then we did the wood and returned exactly by. an hour and you can still see on the right exactly how we loaded it and carried it and I'll introduce you to this project because you may have already read about it in the brochure that Reiner is working it out this afternoon so the kids can just go to school there so that the project continues, material and all kinds of things can be collected and with precision and the Lord does a lot and with precision and if you want to support Herz v der Master for a longer period of time, then you can become a sponsor of a child and then support him to go to school so that you can get food and materials.

The home page is also here and you can see it in the brochure, yes, and now I want it. Another nice task for a choir director is that you receive honors and you can also give out more certificates and today we celebrate four anniversaries and I would like to ask you to please Erik, Karin, Magic and Eberhard. the order, but please move forward in the correct line. Follow exactly Erik Schwoerer will receive a certificate today for his support of the choir with a drum set for ten years and he was always very loyal when he was a child.

I told mom that I want to play a slide horn later, so he plays a trombone, thank you very much and Congratulations on ten years, then Karin moved with us to Schö

naich

and was already active in many different choirs and today you can celebrate with us 25 years of trombone choral work and we can also give you the certificate and the silver one in the name of The ejw Honor Nadel for this, congratulations Michael Rebmann or Magic receives today a certificate and the gold needle for 40 years of loyalty. He is also financially responsible for everything in our choir and sometimes I get a lot of pressure not to spend. too much money But qualifications cost money, so thank you very much for your work there and for supporting me.

Thank you very much and congratulations Eberhard Kempf 50 years of work and service in the trombone choir. Thank you very much for your loyalty, you have been with us. For us for five years exactly it means playing in the trombone choir in advance and thank you very much, you are always present on occasions, example of string at funerals, as well as your time allows and also yes, you are also in the background also in the parish council where and with as much support as jupus, thank you very much and congratulations. Congratulations, Eberhard has the gold. At age 40 you get the golden needle and at age 50 you get a letter from the state trombone director, he's back. sit back down, thank you very much.

After the coronavirus break, I am again amazed by such a wonderful choir, thank you for participating again in the intensive rehearsal period and for leaving space for our concert in your calendar and behind each other. name of each person here at the front there is a family and friends who support this, who are currently allowing many to think and pray with us. Thank you very much, thank you very much to everyone who particularly enlightened us tonight, Erik on drums, Marlon Gabi and Lena on technology, Timo with good and brilliant words and Damaris, how great that we were able to participate in your experiences in Tanzania.

We would like to thank Pastor Zwissler and everyone who contributed in any way.our evening, I simply cannot name everyone and please feel included, it is very nice that everyone has arrived tonight and accepted our invitation without an audience, of course it would be a concert and nothing. We wish you a blessed Advent and Christmas Season and I hope that we have been able to brighten and illuminate this time for you tonight and above all thanks and honors we give God our great praise Zollideo Gloria that we express in our final piece and then we will play at the end, the Pastor Fahrrad Fissler. will still be with us, Uli will continue to pray with us and Timo will speak to us after a blessing and then we will listen to Fanfare for the special year that would be composed for the virtual young brass festival that is part of the country's Trumpet Day, which could not take place in 2020, it was composed and the theme is now all thank God and it is composed in such a way that all the groups that are going badly know that it is the blue slope, it is the easiest voice, so to speak, and that it is where our young brass players can really stand out, then we have the red track, these are all the advanced ones and the black track is then the choir is the brass choir that really put the piece together, be excited and now we pray and receive the blessing, we are willing to do so, good God, we thank you for the choral work in our community and we ask that you bring your hand of blessing over this work, let the work bear fruit, we ask you, good Father. , for all of us, guide us in this time of Advent towards Christmas, fill our hearts with salvation and hope, we ask you especially for the people who are not doing so well now, who need your help and for whom we believe, be with and Give us strength and our prayers, for those who need it.

Consideration also for all the people in the war zones of this world, we think of all the people who are hungry, we think of all the people who need our help and. especially yours, together we put in your prayer what is still in our hearts. Our Father still pronounces the blessing, the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord let his face shine on you and have mercy on you, the Lord will rise again. upon you and give you his rich peace
