Johann Sebastian Bach's extraordinary legacy to all musicians and music-lovers is celebrated here with a selection of choruses from the great cantata canon. This volume provides a perfect and accessible introduction to the choral works of the genius-composer ranging from the well-loved 'Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring' to the little-known but beautiful 'Chaconne' 'Meine Tage In Dem Leide' and 'O Jesu Christ Meins Lebens Licht'. An excellent source for concert programming and liturgical use.

Lyrical and lovely, this anthem from Jean Anne Shafferman is easily prepared but will make any choir sound full. Its formal structure is that of a chaconne, an historical form that was a favorite of early Baroque composers. The anthem's voicing is flexible, performable as SATB or SAB. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)
