Zeit Deines Herzens

Here is a song in the form of a medieval 'calling on' song. With my old friend Gareth on lead vocal and acoustic guitar. 
It is either very late for last spring or a little early for next : )

Spring (with Gareth)

Während der Adventszeit gibt es sie fast in jedem Haus: Vier weihnachtlich dekorierte Kerzen, die nacheinander an jedem Advent angezündet werden. Doch woher kommt eigentlich der Adventskranz?

Ein dicker Kranz mit vier Kerzen: Der Adventskranz ist heute weit verbreitet. Dass der erste Adventskranz allerdings ein Wagenrad war und nicht nur vier, sondern 23 Kerzen hatte, wissen wohl die wenigsten.

Das Rauhe Haus als Ursprungsort des Adventskranzes
Der Ursprung des Adventskranzes liegt im 19. Jahrhundert. 1833 gründete der Pfarrer Johann Hinrich Wichern in Hamburg das sogenannte Rauhe Haus. Der Theologe hatte es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dort verwahrloste und verwaiste Kinder aus den Elendsvierteln Hamburgs zu betreuen. Obwohl sie ihn und seine Helfer oft an ihre Grenzen brachten, sollten die Kinder mit Gemeinschaft, Arbeit und dem Lesen der Bibel erzogen werden. Noch heute engagiert sich die Stiftung für Betreuungs- und Bildungsangebote.

Das Weihnachtsfest spielte im Rauhen Haus schon damals eine große Rolle. Immer wieder fragten die Kinder den Pfarrer, wann denn endlich Weihnachten sei.

Erster Adventskranz aus einem Wagenrad
Deshalb baute er aus einem alten Wagenrad einen Holzkranz mit vielen Kerzen. Damit markierte er die Tage vom ersten Advent bis zum Heiligabend. Im Jahr 1839, als der Adventskranz erfunden wurde, waren das 23 Tage.

Der erste Adventskranz hatte deshalb 19 kleine rote und vier dicke weiße Kerzen. Jeden Tag bis zum Heiligabend wurde eine neue Kerze angezündet, jeden Adventssonntag eine der großen. So lernten die Kinder das Zählen und wussten immer, wie viele Tage es noch bis Weihnachten waren.

During the Advent season, they can be found in almost every home: four festively decorated candles that are lit one after the other every Advent. But where does the Advent wreath actually come from?

A thick wreath with four candles: the Advent wreath is widespread today. However, very few people know that the first Advent wreath was a wagon wheel and had not just four, but 23 candles.

The Rough House as the place of origin of the Advent wreath
The Advent wreath originated in the 19th century. In 1833, the pastor Johann Hinrich Wichern founded the so-called Rauhe Haus in Hamburg. The theologian had made it his mission to care for neglected and orphaned children from the slums of Hamburg. Although they often pushed him and his helpers to their limits, the children were to be educated through fellowship, work and reading the Bible. The foundation is still committed to providing care and education today.

Even back then, Christmas played a major role at the Rauhes Haus. The children repeatedly asked the pastor when Christmas would finally be.

First Advent wreath made from a wagon wheel
So he built a wooden wreath with lots of candles from an old wagon wheel. He used it to mark the days from the first Advent to Christmas Eve. In 1839, when the Advent wreath was invented, that was 23 days.

The first Advent wreath therefore had 19 small red and four thick white candles. A new candle was lit every day until Christmas Eve, and one of the large candles was lit every Sunday in Advent. This taught the children to count and they always knew how many days were left until Christmas.

Fir greenery on the Advent wreath
It was not until around 20 years later that people finally decorated the Advent wreath with fir greenery, as is still common today. By the beginning of the 20th century, the wreath had become established in Protestant churches and in many families.

The first wreath is said to have been hung in a Catholic church in Cologne in 1925. Since the end of the Second World War, the Advent wreath can be found all over the world and in all possible forms.

Imagine a phone call. Two people close to each other take turns speaking. Not everything reaches their ears, but they feel the positive vibrations. Love is more than words! It is mystery. That's more or less what this song is about!!! Hope you enjoy my new surf track 😎🎸

Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, was fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations.
