Cantata for Epiphany. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Frieder Rempp. This edition: urtext. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Bach vocal. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Epiphany. Full score. BWV 123. 44 pages. Duration 22 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.123/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3112300).

ISBN 9790007164843. Text language: German/English. Text: Fritsch, Ahasverus.

This six-movement cantata uses the hymn of the same name by Ahasverus Fritsch, first recorded in 1698 in the Darmstadter Liederbuch. This places it amongst those chorale cantatas which use a hymn from the repertoire associated with Pietism. As was customary, the hymn text is retained in the outer movements, whereas the text for the inner movements - two secco recitatives and a tenor and a bass aria - are concerned with the contrast between the hostile world and the certainty of Jesus; the links between the cantata text and the Feast of the Epiphany are correspondingly tenuous. In the first movement the soprano sings the hymn melody complete, accompanied by mainly homophonic vocal parts, whilst the instrumental writing is largely influenced by the melody of the first line of the hymn. Remarkable is the tenor aria, with its contrasting central section and its chromatic twists and turns, in which Bach once again proves himself to be a master of harmony. The demands on the chorus are fairly modest, whereas the instrumentalists are challenged in the first movement and in both the arias.

SATB choir, a cappella - Difficult

SKU: PL.9322

Composed by Randall Giles. Cathedral. Choral, General, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9322. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9322).

Giles' poignant version of this 16th century English text is set in the traditional English carol form with verses and a burden or refrain. The frequent unison lines are laced with chromatic turns of phrase, illuminating the passion inherent in this prayer. Only at the text Blessed Jesu does Giles expand the texture vertically to bring special attention to the name of Jesus. Giles also thougthfully works each voice in the middle and upper registers with a stillness of rhythm, adding yet another dimension of serenity to this prayer for peace.

Ave Maria, gracia Dei plena; There is no rose; A Carol for Peace; Jesu for thy mercy endless are all push the envelope pieces (epecially the second), and for that reason are worth a look by composers who are interested in seeing some of the current outer limits for church and choral music. As for performance, they are for advanced church groups or college choirs only. Not for the timid! - Association of Anglican Musicians Journal.

Choral Arrangement of Precious Lord Take my Hand This soulful, gospel medley starts with Precious Lord, Take My Hand then segues into Softly and Tenderly, returning with a rousing gospel restating of the original hymn. The piano accompaniment is classic gospel and the mini-orchestration enhances the presentation.
