* verse anthem for Palm Sunday that captures the majesty of the day through fanfare-like organ accompaniment and uplifting metrical shifts, and the modal character of the vocal line * ABA form: Dr. Lau uses variation between unison singing, duetting, and simple, direct harmonic writing * soprano descant for the final verse written with vocal sensitivity and overarching musical line shape * doubling the trumpet part in either the organ accompaniment or soprano line, Dr. Lau makes this anthem a practical, uplifting for Palm Sunday or Christ the King offertory, and a joyful anthem of praise for other occasions.

The Christmas cantata Gloria in excelsis Deo BWV 191, which has always presented researchers with many challenging problems, is among the few works to Latin words set by Johann Sebastian Bach. It consists of three sections - a finely-woven duet flanked by two festive choral movements - which we are to encounter again almost note for note in the world-famous Mass in B minor. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3119100.

Cantata BWV 127 belongs to the cycle of chorale cantatas which Bach performed in 1724/25 in Leipzig. It bears close links to the St John Passion, which was performed on Good Friday 1725 in its second version. In formal terms and in the interpretation of the text and its orchestration, it is one of the most astonishing vocal works by Bach. The opening chorus, with its multi-layered construction, is nothing less than a preliminary version for the chorale fantasia O Mensch bewein dein Sunde gross. The aria Die Seele ruht in Jesu Handen is distinguished by its exquisite scoring: a solo oboe and the soprano form a duet, whilst the background comprises delicate chords on recorders and continuo, intended to symbolize funeral bells. A solo trumpet gives the following movement particular brilliance. The words Ich breche mit starker und helfender Hand unmistakably anticipate the chorus Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden from the St Matthew Passion. New revised edition. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3112700.
