This
cantata is a composition
by Kuhnau for the first
of the Christmas holidays
[Christmas Day] and one
of his most extensive
works. It is underlaid
with the free poetry of a
hitherto anonymous
author, not including any
Bible or chorale texts.
Though the dating has not
yet been clarified, the
structure - two
recitative-aria pairings,
framed by two magnificent
tutti movements -
indicates a genesis
period within the last
years of the composer's
tenure as St. Thomas
cantor in Leipzig.
Additional indications
are the triple use of the
da capo form as well as
the four-part vocal
setting, partly
differentiated in solo
and tutti, taking the
individual parts to the
limits of their ambitus
as was later customary
with Johann Sebastian
Bach.Particularly
noteworthy are two
details of the
instrumentation: Firstly,
there are three violin
parts in the score, the
first of which has to
master an exceptionally
virtuoso solo part.
Secondly, in the third
movement, Kuhnau
expressly notates an
obbligato organ solo
part, not to be found in
any of his other extant
compositions. This
virtuosic part also
already foreshadows the
later and far more famous
obbligato organ parts in
various Bach
cantatas.

The cantata
Christ lag in
Todes-Banden is a mixed
chorale cantata that sets
the first and last verses
of the corresponding
Luther chorale verbatim,
but the other movements
in free poetry based on
the content of the
chorale. The time of
composition cannot be
clearly determined, but
at the end of the copy
that serves as the basis
for the edition, there is
a date of January 1693.
According to this, the
composition was written
before 1693 and thus well
before Johann Kuhnau took
up his post as
Thomaskantor in Leipzig
(1701). The use of two
cornetti is also a
parallel to the cantata
Lobe den Herren, meine
Seele(PB 32091), whose
composition can be linked
to Kuhnau's stay in
Zittau. The two parts
marked Cornett are only
in the first two
movements of the cantata;
in the further course, a
collaparte lead would be
possible, but cannot be
proven. In principle,
according to the source,
the two cornett parts can
also be played by
violins. The title page
also notes the
possibility of adding
ripieno singers, i.e. a
choir, in the
non-soloistic
movements.The cantata,
according to its text
intended for Easter, is
very well suited for use
in church services with
its small size and
flexible scoring.

(1701). The use of two
cornetti is also a
parallel to the cantata
Lobe den Herren, meine
Seele(PB 32091), whose
composition can be linked
to Kuhnau's stay in
Zittau. The two parts
marked Cornett are only
in the first two
movements of the cantata;
in the further course, a
collaparte lead would be
possible, but cannot be
proven. In principle,
according to the source,
the two cornett parts can
also be played by
violins. The title page
also notes the
possibility of adding
ripieno singers, i.e. a
choir, in the
non-soloistic
movements.The cantata,
according to its text
intended for Easter, is
very well suited for use
in church services with
its small size and
flexible scoring.

The cantata
Christ lag in
Todes-Banden is a mixed
chorale cantata that sets
the first and last verses
of the corresponding
Luther chorale verbatim,
but the other movements
in free poetry based on
the content of the
chorale. The time of
composition cannot be
clearly determined, but
at the end of the copy
that serves as the basis
for the edition, there is
a date of January 1693.
According to this, the
composition was written
before 1693 and thus well
before Johann Kuhnau took
up his post as
Thomaskantor in Leipzig
(1701). The use of two
cornetti is also a

This
cantata is a composition
by Kuhnau for the first
of the Christmas holidays
[Christmas Day] and one
of his most extensive
works. It is underlaid
with the free poetry of a
hitherto anonymous
author, not including any
Bible or chorale texts.
Though the dating has not
yet been clarified, the
structure - two
recitative-aria pairings,
framed by two magnificent
tutti movements -
indicates a genesis
period within the last
years of the composer's
tenure as St. Thomas
cantor in Leipzig.
Additional indications
are the triple use of the
da capo form as well as
the four-part vocal
setting, partly
differentiated in solo
and tutti, taking the
individual parts to the
limits of their ambitus
as was later customary
with Johann Sebastian
Bach.Particularly
noteworthy are two
details of the
instrumentation: Firstly,
there are three violin
parts in the score, the
first of which has to
master an exceptionally
virtuoso solo part.
Secondly, in the third
movement, Kuhnau
expressly notates an
obbligato organ solo
part, not to be found in
any of his other extant
compositions. This
virtuosic part also
already foreshadows the
later and far more famous
obbligato organ parts in
various Bach
cantatas.

Johann Kuhnau, who
preceded Johann Sebastian
Bach as Thomas Cantor in
Leipzig, left a wealth of
works, including pivotal
compositions for keyboard
instruments. Now for the
first time all of these
works are appearing in
one volume. Peter Wollny,
an Early Music
specialist, supervised
the volume from a
scholarly point of view.
Ornaments that are no
longer usualtoday have
been explained so that
especially musicians who
are more at home on a
modern piano or grand
piano lose their fear of
this music and can embark
on an exciting voyage of
discovery.

The date of
composition of the
cantata Lobe den Herren,
meine Seele can only be
conjectured. However,
several indications
suggest an early
composition, possibly
during Kuhnau's stay in
Zittau. The work is one
of only two known
cantatas by Kuhnau in
which cornetti are scored
- the second work is the
cantata Christ lag in
Todes-Banden (PB 32034)
-, even so in combination
with three trombones as
an early baroque wind
section. In addition, the
musical texture of the
introductory Sonata can
certainly be understood
as a reminiscence of the
polychorality known from
the Renaissance and early
Baroque as well as their
connection with the basso
continuo era, since four
strings and bassoon on
the one side and five
wind instruments on the
other side face each
other over a continuous
continuo part. The text
of the cantata is a
selection of a few verses
from Psalm 103. This is
the larger scored cantata
with this textual basis;
parallel to it exists a
smaller scored one for
alto, bass, violin, oboe
d'amore and continuo.
