Veni was composed by Kay Johannsen in November 2015. Similar to his 2010 work Et vidimus gloriam eius for four choral groups (SSA, TTB, SATB, SATB) and organ based on the beginning of St John's Gospel, Veni requires a spatial separation of three four-part choirs. The starting point of the composition is the 12th century hymn Veni redemptor gentium by St Ambrose of Milan, which Martin Luther used as the basis of his 1524 hymn Nun komm, der Heiland. The four sections of the cantus firmus are sung in turn by all the basses, altos, sopranos, and tenors, each part at a louder dynamic than the other parts. For the accompanying voices Johannsen uses different principles of canonic technique and motivic variation, with most of the material derived from the cantus firmus. The organ part of this 12-part chorale arrangement provides a harmonic orientation, but is completely independent and introduces both moments of rhythmic accentuation and elements of veiling. The choral writing is also deepened and elevated by the organ sounds derived from the text. Despite all the motivic links between the parts, the music has a direct sensual effect as a sound collage. The work ends with three increasingly distant, homophonic invocations of Veni: the plea Komm occurs at the beginning as at the end.

Composed by Dietrich Buxtehude. Edited by Thomas Schlage. Hymns by Martin Luther: Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort. Erhalt Uns, Herr, Bei Deinem Wort 27. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas. Single Part, Violone. BuxWV 27. 4 pages. Duration 6 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 36.015/13. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3601513).

ISBN 9790007213725. Language: German. Text: Luther, Martin.

This cantata combines two texts: Erhalt uns Herr bei deinem Wort and Verleih uns Frieden gnadiglich. The Lubeckisches Gesangbuch of 1703 included both hymns, with a verse by Johann Walter added, to the melody Erhalt uns Herr. This was the basis for Buxtehude's composition. The copy of the tabulature of this cantata in the Duben Collection can be dated to the summer or autumn months of 1687. The composition consists of a four-part homophonic performance of the chorale verses, with a ritornello played by the accompanying instruments between the verses. A slightly polyphonic Amen completes the work. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3601500.

Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Reformation day. Full score. 40 pages. Carus Verlag #CV 31.351/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3135100).

ISBN 9790007181598.

In good time for the Reformation anniversary year 2017, this edition offers four distinctive movements from Johann Sebastian Bach's Reformation cantatas in arrangements for choir and organ. From the cantata Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 the ornate opening chorus, the fifth movement Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel war, with its impressive musical depiction of the battle between heavenly and evil powers, and the final chorale Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn are included. These are joined by the festive chorale Nun danket alle Gott from the Reformation cantata Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild BWV 79. The transcription of Bach's orchestral writing for organ offers performers plenty of opportunity for artistic interpretation, and enables the movements to be performed in an attractive way even with limited resources.
