Cantata for the 1st Easter Day. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm Der Himmel Lacht!

The text, by Salomon Franck who was the librettist of some of Bach 's the best-known cantatas, is closely linked to the account of Easter and recalls the jubilation at the resurrection of Jesus. Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No groupof works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for the 14th Sunday after Trinity. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Jesu, der du meine Seele BWV 78 (Jesu, by Thy Cross and Passion) Cantata for the 14th Sunday after Trinity The cantata Jesu, der du meine Seele is one of the famous cycle of chorale cantatas which Bach wrote during the second year of his Leipzig appointment. It was probably performed for the first time on 10 September 1724, the fourteenth Sunday after Trinity, in one of the principal Leipzig churches. The text is based on Johann Rist’s at that time widely known hymn of 1641. As in most of the cantatas of this cycle, the corner-stones are provided by the first and last verses, which appear in an unaltered form; whereas the middle verses were freelyremodelled as arias and recitatives.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. J. S. Bach ’s Four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call classical hits! They stem from Bach ’s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721. Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig. These originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as part of the “New Bach Edition”. At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with additional articulation and performance suggestions. Bärenreiter’s new edition of Bach ’s great four suitesnow presents the Urtext as found in the “New Bach Edition” i. e. without emendations and performance suggestions. The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a “Violino concertato” part. - Urtext editions of these important works. - Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo. - For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 with “Violino concertato” is included. - Full scores, study scores and performance material available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for the Feast of Reformation. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (A Mighty Fortress is our God) Cantata for the Feast of Reformation There are practically no surviving original sources for Bach's great Reformation Cantata 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott'. It is possible that the original form of the Cantata was written in Weimar in 1715 to which Bach later made various additions and alterations to transform it into a Reformation Cantata for Leipzig. Although scholarly opinion as to the sources is divided there is no doubt that the opening chorus, based on Martin Luther's chorale melody 'Ein feste Burg' is one of Bach's greatest achievements.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm Bach ’s Christmas Oratorio, composed in 1734, narrates the story of the birth of Jesus in a cycle of six cantatas with a text probably by Christian Friedrich Henrici (known as Picander) who provided several libretti for Bach during his Leipzig period. Like the St. Matthew and St. John Passions, the Christmas Oratorio is narrated by an Evangelist and includes devices from Italian opera such as the recitative and aria. It was written to be performed during the thirteen days of Christmas of the Lutheran Church calendar (25 December – 6 January) allowing the wondrous story of theGospel to gradually unfold. - Full score and performance material (BA5014), vocal score (BA5014-90) and study score (TP85) available for sale. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition. / Oratorio / Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 62 Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent Bach began two of his cantatas (BWV 61 and 62) - belonging to the Weimar and Leipzig periods respectively - with Martin Luther`s Advent hymn 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland', a German version of the early church hymn 'Veni redemptor gentium'. The cantata can be described as a Choral Cantata, typical of Bach's late creative period, incorporating the older technical processes of polyphonic chorale settings as well as more modern solo movements.

Cantata for Whitsunday. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Erschallet, ihr Lieder BWV 172 Cantata for Whitsunday (C major version) Erschallet, ihr Lieder (BWV 172) is one of those early Bach cantatas which were often revived at Leipzig. The first performance of this work was given in Weimar 1714. Although only a few instrumental parts from this performance are extant, it may be assumed that at that time the cantata already had the form familiar to us from its first Leipzig revival. It was given in C major (church pitch, corresponding to D major in chamber pitch), and the first number was intended to be repeated at the end of the work. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition -Performance material (BA10172) vocal score (BA10172-90) and study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP1172) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Long considered the noblest, most inspired musical treatment of the crucifixion of Christ, Bach's St. Matthew Passion remains an immensely popular work. First performed in the late 1720s, the great choral masterpiece was scored for a vast ensemble of double chorus, soloists, double orchestra and two organs. Richly dramatic and theatrical, its deeply moving story unfolds in recitatives, ariosos, arias, and majestic choral movements. Reproduced here from an authoritative early edition, the score appears with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for classroom or home study. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Partition de Poche
