Ultimately,
he is a pupil for whom I
need not feel
embarrassed, wrote J. S.
Bach, summarizing the
qualities of his
son-in-law to be, J. C:
Altnickol. Altnickol's
two settings of the
Sanctus, based on a
Gregorian cantus firmus,
are among his few works
which have survived.
While in the second of
these compositions he
chose to write a
polyphonic choral
setting, in the first
Sanctus he allows all
four voices of the choir
to sing unisono,
accompanied by a
polyphonically treated
string ensemble. In both
compositions, however, he
proves himself to be a
contrapuntalist fully
worthy of Bach's
appraisal. Score
