Wiemer, Wolfgang (Arr.) - Br Jcfb E 1. Par BACH JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH. Nicht nur die Musiker des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts haben - schon aus liturgischen Gründen - immer wieder Vertonungen des Bußpsalms 50 [51] vorgelegt. Auch noch in späterer, säkularisierterer Zeit pflegten gelegentlich Komponisten diese Tradition, so der 'Bückeburger' Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach mit seiner 12-sätzigen Komposition von etwa 1770, die erst 1975 entdeckt wurde. Fast nur in B-Tonarten angesiedelt, besteht Bachs 'Miserere' aus einem ausgewogenen Wechsel von Chor- und Soloabschnitten. Gemeinsames Stilmerkmal aller Teile sind vor allem die reich verwendeten 'empfindsamen' Vorhaltsbildungen und kleinen Ziernoten. Als Beispiel des vorklassischen Zeitalters eignetsich die Komposition gut für epochenübergreifende Programme mit Fasten- und Bußkompositionen. / Date parution : 1991-09-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Alto et Bas
