De koraalmelodie Lobe den Herren uit Johann Sebastian Bachs cantate BWV 137 ontstond in de zeventiende eeuw in Duitsland en is opgenomen in het gezangboek Freylinghausen’s Geistreiches Gesangbuch.Dit gezangboek is begin achttiendeeeuw samengesteld en wordt beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste verzamelingen lutherse koralen die ten tijde van Bach zijn gepubliceerd. Deze prachtige fantasie voor blaasorkest van de internationaal bekende en populaire koraalmelodievormt een aangenaam intermezzo in elk concert.

Roland Kernen schuf eine ausgezeichnete Bearbeitung für Blasorchester des Chorals Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren. Das beliebte Lied hat seinen Ursprung in Deutschland im 17. Jahrhundert. Johann Sebastian Bach nahm es in seine Kantate BWV 137 auf und in der englischen Übersetzung wurde es schließlich international bekannt. Mit dieser oft und gerne gesungenen Melodie gewinnen Sie nicht nur zu kirchlichen Anlässen die Herzen Ihres Publikums.

Le choral Lobe den Herren succède au choeur d’ouverture de la Cantate BWV 137 de Jean Sébastien Bach. La mélodie du choral trouve ses origines dans l’Allemagne du XVIIe siècle. Elle a été intégrée l’un des premiers et des plus importants recueils de chorals luthériens publié l’époque de Bach, le recueil de cantiques du théologien Johann Freylinghausen. Avec Song of Adoration, Roland Kernen signe une superbe fantaisie pour Orchestre d’Harmonie sur cette célèbre mélodie chorale.

Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (Carus 31.080/00) is one of Johann Sebastian Bach's most frequently-performed cantatas. But the well-known form of the work, with its great opening chorale chorus, represents the final stage of a multi-layered version history, beginning with the cantata Alles, was von Gott geboren BWV 80a, probably composed for Oculi Sunday (the third Sunday in Lent) 1716. As no cantatas were performed during Passiontide in Leipzig, if Bach wanted to re-use the cantata he had to rewrite it for another Sunday or feast day. Reformation Day suggests itself, as Bach had also incorporated the hymn Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott into the Oculi cantata (as an instrumental cantus firmus in the opening movement and in the final chorale). The first version of the Reformation cantata Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80b (Carus 31.080/50) was simply expanded by the addition of chorale movements, then the movements of the Oculi cantata, slightly altered, were included in the cantata in the form known today as BWV 80.Only the text of the Oculi cantata Alles, was von Gott geboren BWV 80a survives today. However, the early version of the cantata can easily be extrapolated from the two later versions. This first published reconstruction to date, by the renowned Bach scholar Klaus Hofmann, represents a welcome addition to the small repertoire of Bach cantatas for Passion Sundays.
