The
Bach contemporary
Christian August Jacobi
is among those composers
who made a lasting
impression among 18th
century Middle German
composers, since the
influence of the
Thomaskantor himself was
limited primarily to
Leipzig. Jacobi's
cantatas are richly
varied and they not too
difficult to perform.
Five of the six movements
of the Christmas cantata
Also hat Gott die Welt
geliebet for soli, choir,
strings and basso
continuo are based on
Luther's Christmas
chorale Vom Himmel hoch,
da komm ich her, which
give the work a
traditional character
(the text of the first
movement is based on the
Gospel of St. John). The
richly varied
instrumentation and
alternation between
choral movements and
duets by the soloists
bring to the sound of the
cantata a variety which
will also be enhanced by
the use of the harp (ad
libitum).

Wit
h the edition of the
Christmas Oratorio within
the framework of the
Stuttgart Bach Editions,
Carus presents a
scholarly edition for
practical performance.
The basis for this
publication are Bach's
autograph score and the
original parts. The
conducting score contains
an appendix with a
concise Critical Report
which provides
information about the
sources and their
readings; when necessary,
the latter are discussed
in more detail,
especially with regard to
how the editor arrived at
solutions for questions
of articulation which
differ from those found
in previous editions. The
representative,
clothbound volume is
supplemented by a study
score as well as a choral
score, a vocal score and
complete orchestral
material. In the
orchestral material short
excerpts containing the
conclusions of the secco
recitatives are rendered
with cue notes in
separate vocal systems
printed above the score
where the
instrumentalists pause,
thus enabling them make
their entrances in the
movements which follow
these recitatives. This
work is also available in
carus music, the choir
app! Score and parts

In spring
1816 Franz Schubert, just
nineteen years old,
completed his second
setting of the Stabat
Mater in the midst of a
highly productive period.
In contrast with his
first setting written the
previous year, just five
minutes in length, this
time Schubert used the
German translation by
Klopstock as the basis
for his composition.
Stefan Schuck's edition
is the first one of this
work to be based on a
critical evaluation of
the primary sources, with
complete performance
material. The work, in a
dark F minor, with its
text by Klopstock, places
Jesus Christ, rather than
Mary, at the center of
the contemplation. With
his fugues, but
particularly in the
eight-part lamenting
chorus Wer wird Zahren
sanften Mitleids,
Schubert shows himself at
the height of his
creative output. He
composed his 4th
Symphony, the Tragic, at
almost the same time. The
Stabat Mater is a
rewarding work for choral
societies and choirs to
perform, because the
choir has the largest
portion to sing, and the
choral parts are not too
demanding. The
composition is also a
beautiful introduction to
the choral-symphonic
music of Schubert for
less experienced
choirs.

Bach's first
cantata for the election
of the Leipzig town
council, composed in
August 1723, is one of
his most splendidly
scored work from his
Leipzig period. The
choice of opening, with
the representative form
of a French overture, was
suited to a festive
orchestral scoring. Two
choral movements frame a
middle section which
consists of two arias and
a recitativo accompagnato
with a trumpet
ritornello. The
conclusion of this
extended festive music
takes a reflective turn
in movements 8 and 9,
when Bach allows a
recitative to be followed
by simple, prayer-like
chorale movement. Score

The
primary source on which

edition is based is the
first edition of the
score from 1800. Contrary
to normal custom, Haydn
published the score
himself in order to avoid
unauthorized publications
and to present an
optimally designed
edition from an authentic
hand. With this original
document, which has been
compared with additional
relevant sources, Carus
now offers a musical text
based on the latest
musicological findings.
The critical report
provides all of the
important data concerning
the edition in a compact
form suitable for
practical use [practical
performance]. A detailed
foreword offers insight
into the genesis of the
work, its construction
and reception and
illuminates compositional
and theological and
spiritual-historical
aspects. In addition to
the score, with singing
texts in two languages
(G. van Swieten's
original German and

interest of legibility,
vocal and choral scores
will be offered in two

oratorios. According to

finally settled down in
Venice, he wrote a number
of sacred works. Since he
had long been obligated
to the Saxon Court, where

for three decades until
1763, these works were
originally intended for
the Catholic Court Church
in Dresden. The

Johann
Michael Haydn's Requiem
in C minor heavily
influenced W. A. Mozart's
Requiem. In just two
weeks Michael Haydn
composed his work in
December 1771, on the
occasion of the death of
his employer, Prince
Bishop Sigismund Count
Schrattenbach, who was
beloved among the people
and was a great patron of
the arts. The work was
written under the
impression of personal
tragedy: Haydn's only
child, Aloisia Josepha,
died in January 1771,
before completing her
first year of life. Parts
of the
Schrattenbach-Requiem
were played together with
the completed movements
from his second,
unfinished Requiem during
his own furneral service.
During the funeral
service in Vienna for
Joseph Haydn, parts of
his younger brother's
C-minor Requiem were also
performed. Score

Bach's
cantata BWV 151, whose
wonderfully heartfelt
opening aria has been
rightly numbered among
Bach's most inspired
ideas (Alfred Durr), was
composed for the 3rd day
of Christmas 1725. Flute
and oboe d'amore lend
pastoral coloring to the
chamber music sound
picture. The oboe d'amore
was not originally
included in Bach's score;
after completing the
score he added the part
to the orchestra for the
first performance. In a
later performance about
1728-1731 Bach replaced
the flute by a solo
violin, adding various
performing instructions
and ornaments, of which a
flautist can make use in
his originally rather
modest part. This new

The
cantata Die Himmel
erzahlen die Ehre Gottes
(The heavens are telling
of God in glory) BWV 76
by Johann Sebastian Bach
was written for the 2nd
Sunday after Trinity,
which fell on 6 June 1723
in the year it was first
performed. This ambitious
two-part work was the
second cantata which Bach
wrote after taking up the
position of Kantor of St.
Thomas's in Leipzig.
Bach's aim was evidently
to demonstrate a
particularly wide range
of musical forms in both
the arias and the
recitatives in this
cantata. The opening
chorus is based on verses
2 and 4 of Psalm 19, with
verse 4 structured as a
choral fugue. Both parts
of the cantata end with a
chorale movement with
different verses from the
Lutheran hymn Es woll uns
Gott genadig sein. The
text refers loosely to
the epistle reading from
the 1st letter of St
John, but deals more with
general thoughts about
the temptations of the
Christian which can be
overcome through love.
Bach also performed the
first part of the cantata
later with minor
revisions, but evidently
no alterations to the
text, on Reformation Day
in Leipzig. Score and
parts available

The history
of the genesis of the
Requiem is entwined with
legends and anecdotes.
The burdens of the
composition and
performance of La
Clemenza di Tito and Die
Zauberflote, and an acute
infection led to the
collapse and death of the
composer following a
short illness. Mozart
left his wife in
considerable debt.
Constanze therefore
turned to Mozart's
friends, asking them to
complete the fragment.
After two failed
attempts, the task passed
to Mozart's pupil Franz
Xaver Sussmayr, who
completed the Requiem in
the form known today,
using working materials
that are no longer
extant, and perhaps
verbal instructions from
the composer. Today the
Sussmayr version is still
the most well known, and
it is doubtless the one
with the closest
historical ties to
Mozart. This work is now

Bac
h composed the cantata
Stay with us, for it
draws on toward evening
BWV 6 for Easter Monday
1725. In fact, it is
certain that a chorale
cantata had been planned
for that feast day, but
for some unknown reason,
the annual cycle of
chorale cantatas broke
off just before Easter
1725. For BWV 6, Bach
fell back on a text by an
author whose texts he had
already set numerous
times in his first
Leipzig annual cycle of
cantatas (which are
conspicuous by their ever
constant structure and
use of two chorale
settings). From the
gospel for Easter Monday,
the story of the Emmaus
disciples, only the
disappearing daylight and
the fear of being left
alone are made the
subject of discussion. A
truly magnificent choral
movement opens the
cantata. The first
chorale for soprano and
violoncello piccolo,
which Bach later included
in his Schubler-Chorale,
is also well-known
outside of the cantata.

Among
Haydn's over thirty
settings of the Latin
Ordinary, the Missa in
honorem Sanctae Ursula
occupies an outstanding
position, which,
according to the
autograph, was completed
on 5 August 1793. This
Mass has been referred to
as the most Mozartian of
all his masses. With its
song-like melodic
character, the unity of
the motivic material and
the harmonius balance
between festive and
reflective sections this
Mass is one of Haydn's
most successful and
inspired works. This
work, which in addition
to the usual Salzburg
church trio includes two
trumpets and timpani,
belongs to the category
of Missa solemnis. The
popular nickname
Chiemsee-Messe is bound
up with the history of
the origins of the work.
Haydn wrote the Mass for
the musically gifted nun,
Sebastiana Oswald, who
belonged to the
Benedictine cloister of
Frauenchiemsee. This work
soon found widespread
acceptance beyond the
originally intended
sphere of its origins, as
is indicated by the
numerous copies found in
Austrian convents. Score
