The melody of the chorale Nun danket alle Gott (Now Thank We All Our God) was originally written in 1636 by the German clergyman and musician Martin Rinckart . Its international fame is due to the fact that in 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach based his cantata Gott, der Herr, ist Sonn’ und Schild (BWV 79) on this melody. The five-part arrangement by Roland Kernen that lies before you is suitable for a variable brass line-up. After a short introduction, the chorale follows, first in four-part harmony, and later with an added counterpart. A middle section, which sounds refreshing and rhythmic because of the time changes and articulation used, finally leads to a repeat of thechorale with an agile upper part. This arrangement also contains an organ part ad libitum.

De melodie van het koraal Nun danket alle Gott (Now Thank We All Our God/Dankt, dankt nu allen God) werd oorspronkelijk in de eerste helft van de zeventiende eeuw geschreven. De internationale bekendheid ervan is tedanken aan het feit dat Johann Sebastian Bach in 1725 zijn cantate Gott, der Herr, ist Sonn’ und Schild (BWV 79) op deze melodie baseerde. De bewerking van Roland Kernen voor een variabele koperbezetting is voorzien van eenorgelpartij ad libitum.

Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918) vertonte ein Gedicht aus dem Vorwort der Gedichtsammlung Milton von William Blake. Seit der Orchesterbearbeitung von Sir Edward Elgar ist es eine beliebte nationale Hymne, die heute traditionell die Last Night of the Proms“ in der Londoner Albert Hall beschließt. Der Text spielt die Überlieferung an, die besagt, dass Jesus in seiner Jugend mit Joseph aus Arimathia nach Britannien kam. Philip Sparke machte die traditionsreiche, würdevolle Musik dem Blasorchester zugänglich.

La mélodie originale de l’hymne chrétienne Nun danket alle Gott (Remercions tous notre Seigneur) est datée de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle.

The cantata Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank we all our God) BWV 192 is based on the text of the well-known hymn. It is therefore one of a small number of chorale cantatas which contain no free poetic texts. Correspondingly, there are no recitatives either. It has only recently been assumed that this three-movement work was not intended for Leipzig, but was actually written in 1730 for Bach's prestigious position as Kapellmeister of Saxe-Weissenfels. The court of Duke Christian enjoyed the its sojourn in the newly-renovated castle of its secondary residence in Sangerhausen and, at Trinity, in the court church, celebrated the anniversary of its consecration with festive music. Bach evidently occasionally contributed to this. The work does not survive complete. Even in the 18th century a full score evidently no longer existed, just a set of parts, the tenor part of which is entirely missing. For the new edition the missing part has been reconstructed by Detlev Schulten (Leipzig). Score and part available separately - see item CA.3119200.

Telemann's cantata Now thank we all our God cannot be assigned to any of the composer's known annual cycles of cantatas. The given designation, Tempore Messis, which appears in the title in the sole surviving source, suggests it was composed on the occasion of a harvest thanksgiving festival, but the general nature of the text means that other occasions for performance such as New Year, Reformation Day, church or organ consecrations and weddings are conceivable. Musically, the work is distinguished by two spirited choral movements reinforced by trumpets which frame a duet for tenor and bass and an aria for alto and transverse flute.
