A new edition of the Neujahrs-Kantate, which previously appeared in an edition based on manuscript copies from the 19th century. The present edition is based on a manuscript from 1762 which was first discovered in 1971; this source varies considerably from the previously known manu-scripts and it presents a clearer version of the cantata.

ISBN 9790007239978. Language: German. Text: Hembold, Ludwig.

The cantata Nun lasst uns Gott, den Herren (BuxWV 81) is based on a chorale text by Ludwig Helmbold of 1575. Buxtehude set the eight verses of the chorale, which Helmbold conceived as a song of thanks after a meal, in the form of a strophic hymn with instrumental interludes. His sensitive approach to the textual model emphasizes inner details of the hymn, the content of which extends far beyond a mere musical grace.

ISBN 9790007207496. Text language: German/English. Text: Fritsch, Ahasverus.

This six-movement cantata uses the hymn of the same name by Ahasverus Fritsch, first recorded in 1698 in the Darmstadter Liederbuch. This places it amongst those chorale cantatas which use a hymn from the repertoire associated with Pietism. As was customary, the hymn text is retained in the outer movements, whereas the text for the inner movements - two secco recitatives and a tenor and a bass aria - are concerned with the contrast between the hostile world and the certainty of Jesus; the links between the cantata text and the Feast of the Epiphany are correspondingly tenuous. In the first movement the soprano sings the hymn melody complete, accompanied by mainly homophonic vocal parts, whilst the instrumental writing is largely influenced by the melody of the first line of the hymn. Remarkable is the tenor aria, with its contrasting central section and its chromatic twists and turns, in which Bach once again proves himself to be a master of harmony. The demands on the chorus are fairly modest, whereas the instrumentalists are challenged in the first movement and in both the arias. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3112300.
