Cantata for the 14th Sunday after Trinity-Jesu der du meine Seele BWV 78 (Jesu by Thy Cross and Passion)Cantata for the 14th Sunday after TrinityThe 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.Urtext of the New Bach EditionPerformance material (BA10078) vocal score (BA10078-90) & study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP1078) available for sale

No group of 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 aswell 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.

Nicolai Mass-The name of the ?Missa Sancti Nicolai? refers to the composition of the Mass for St. Nicholas Day in 1772. Every year on this day a Mass was held in honor of the Prince of Esterházy who shared his name-day with St. Nicholas.It is thought that Haydn wrote this composition specifically to thank the Prince for allowing him to return to Eisenstadt. Some years later trumpet and timpani parts were added to the work.As with the ?Great Organ Mass? these additional parts were not actually written by Haydn himself but simply authorized by him. They are included in the score and performance material so that both versions can be performed.Urtextfrom the Haydn Complete EditionPerformable in both versionsFull score performance material (BA4645) vocal score (BA4645-90) available for sale

Cantata for Whit Tuesday-Er rufet seinen Schafen mit Namen (He calleth His own sheep each by name) BWV 175Cantata for Whit TuesdayThe text of the present cantata was written by Mariane von Ziegler and was set by Bach for the third day of Whitsun in the year 1725.Bach made considerable alterations to the text when setting it. The pastorale atmosphere is created by three recorders through the inkoduction of which the opening words from the scriptures become a charming accompagnato; it is followed by an alto aria in the same orchestration - a combination that Bach uses nowhere else.- Urtext of the New BachEdition- Performance material (BA10175) vocal score (BA10175-90) & study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP1175) available for sale

Rezitative und turbae von Reinhard Keiser (1674-1739)-St Mark Passion (BWV 247): A reconstruction.Recitatives and turbae by Reinhard Keiser (1674-1739). Although all that survives of Bach's “St. Mark Passion” is Picander's libretto virtually all the arias and choruses can be reconstructed from “parody” versions. The original recitatives and turbae however are probably lost forever. Rather than rewriting these numbers “in Bachs's style” the editor Austin Harvey Gomme has added passages from Reinhard Keiser's setting of the Passion (a setting highly esteemed by Bach who performed it several times) thereby allowing this lost work to be performed in its entirety. A detailed prefacesheds further light on this unique reconstruction based on the New Bach Edition.

Cantata for the Feast of St. Michael-Herr Gott dich loben alle wir (Lord God we praise Thee all of us) BWV 130Cantata for the Feast of St. MichaelComposed for Michaelmas 1724 Bach's cantata 'Herr Gott dich loben alle wir' belongs to the cycle of chorale cantatas which uses a hymn as perhaps various preachers also did to interptet the ideas of the Biblical texts. The hymn used here composed by Paul Eber in 1554 has twelve stanzas. Texts for two recitatives and two arias were written to go with each of stanzas 2 to 10. Bach used the first stanza as a processional and the last two stanzas were made into a concluding chorale withthe original text.- Urtext of the New Bach Edition

Bach's original setting of the Magnificat in E-flat major written for Christmas vespers in 1723 includes four inserts placed at the end of the score to give a dramataic representation of the Nativity.Although the later D major version is most often performed today this earlier E-flat major version stands on its own merits with many attractive features which disappeared with the downward transposition.

Great Organ Mass Hob. XXII:4-Mass in E-flat major (Great Organ Mass) Hob.XXII:4In honorem Beatissimae Virginis MariaeFollowing his “Jugendmesse” from 1749 church music played only a secondary role in Haydn’s creative output. It was not until 1766 with the “Cäcilienmesse” and again in 1768-69 with the “Great Organ Mass” that Haydn returned to this genre of composition.This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the “Sturm-und- Drang” symphonies. Some of the remarkable features of this period are reflected here in the expansion of expression combinedwith a new very original musical language. The score also contains the traditional Viennese trumpet and timpani parts although it is extremely unlikely that they stem from Haydn. As Haydn at least tolerated these parts the performance material contains both the original as well as the expanded versions.- Hadyn’s 'Sturm-und-Drang' Mass- Performable in both versions- Clear and straightforward vocal score- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts (BA4646) and vocal score (BA4646-90) available for sale
