The
Reformation cantata Ein
feste Burg ist unser Gott
BWV 80b, published by
Carus-Verlag for the
first time in a practical
performing edition,
remained unknown to Bach
scholars until well into
the 20th century. The
evidence of its existence
is three fragments of the
first folio of Bach's
score, which can be dated
to the years 1728-1731.
By contrast, the
long-familiar expanded
new version of the
cantata with its powerful
opening chorus (BWV 80)
dates from the 1730s or
1740s. It only survives
in a copy of Bach's
score, but this allows
conclusions to be drawn
about the history of the
versions; thus, by using
the fragments mentioned
above, it has been
possible to reconstruct
the first version. This
result is a Bach cantata
which is less extensive
and in a more concise
normal format, with
reduced wind instruments.
A relaxed, contrapuntal
four-part chorale
movement with the first
and last verses of the
Lutheran hymn forms the
framework, and the other
movements are the same as
in the later new version.
This simpler cantata is
also entirely suitable
for celebrating
Reformation Day, as Bach
did around 1730. Score

Friedrich
Christian.
“A
lmiraâ€,
Handel’s first
opera, was well received
when premiered in 1705 at
the Theater am
Gänsemarkt in Hamburg.
The director was Reinhard
Keiser, who, remarkably,
had himself already set
Friedrich Christian
Feustking’s text
to music. The role of
Fernando was sung by
Johann Mattheson. The
translation used by
Handel leaves several
Italian arias in their
original language,
resulting in a delightful
mixture of German and
Italian.
The opera
which, after sundry
entangled romances, ends
in the wedding of three
couples, is characterised
by exuberant scenes: the
procession at
Almira’s crowning
ceremony, a duel, a
prison scene and a
masked-ball involving the
three continents Europe,
Africa and Asia.
The vocal score
to “Almiraâ€
by George Frideric Handel
brings about a small
sensation: Whilst
conducting a reenactment
of this work in 1732,
Georg Philipp Telemann
removed the Aria no. 28
“Ingrato,
spietato†from his
conducting score. Since
then this aria has been
deemed lost. Due to
necessity only the edited
vocal text devoid of any
music was presented in
the 1994 volume of the
“Halle Handel
Editionâ€.
Thanks to a recently
discovered contemporary
manuscript copy from the
beginning of the 18th
century which was found
in the music library of
the Mariengymnasium in
Jever, this aria has now
been made available to
performers for the first
time in this new vocal
score edition. Previous
to this the corresponding
pages could only be seen
as a facsimile in an
article of the
“Göttinger
Händel-Beiträgeâ
. Now the aria can
be performed again.
Furthermore, with the
help of this new source,
missing measures in the
basso continuo which had
initially been completed
by the editor of the
“Halle Handel
Edition†volume,
could be reconstructed
from the basso continuo
part of the Bellante aria
“Ich brenne
zwar†(no. 71).

Johann
Wendelin Glaser was born
in 1731 in Ostheim vor
der Rhon, Bavaria. In
1751 he became music
director in Wertheim, a
position he held until
his death in 1783. The
300 cantatas by this
exceptionally productive
composer were long
unknown, and were only
rediscovered by chance in
1910. The Christmas
cantata Daran ist
erschienen die Liebe
Gottes comprises five
movements, beginning with
an opening chorus,
followed by alternate
arias and recitatives. A
simple four-part chorale
concludes the work. The
cantata is
easy-to-perform for
choral singers and also
because of its small
instrumental scoring for
just two flutes (or other
melody instruments) and
basso continuo. Score and
parts available

The cantata
Sei Lob und Ehr dem
hochsten Gut (All glory
to the Lord of Lords) BWV
117 is one of a small
group of Bach's chorale
cantatas which use
exclusively the text of
the chorale, including in
the three recitatives and
three arias. Only the
autograph score of the
cantata survives;
although this enables an
approximate dating to be
made (c. 1730), it does
not give the occasion for
which the cantata was
written. The choice of
chorale may indicate it
was composed for a
wedding. Recently it has
been suggested that the
occasion for its
composition was the
birthday of the Duke of
Weissenfels in 1731; but
there is no firm evidence
to support either theory.
The cantata opens with an
extended movement for
chorus in which Bach
contrasts the concertante
orchestra with festive,
almost homophonic choral
writing. This chorus
movement is repeated at
the end. A simple chorale
movement which comes
fourth indicates that the
nine-movement cantata was
performed in two
sections. Score and parts

The cantata
Sei Lob und Ehr dem
hochsten Gut (All glory
to the Lord of Lords) BWV
117 is one of a small
group of Bach's chorale
cantatas which use
exclusively the text of
the chorale, including in
the three recitatives and
three arias. Only the
autograph score of the
cantata survives;
although this enables an
approximate dating to be
made (c. 1730), it does
not give the occasion for
which the cantata was
written. The choice of
chorale may indicate it
was composed for a
wedding. Recently it has
been suggested that the
occasion for its
composition was the
birthday of the Duke of
Weissenfels in 1731; but
there is no firm evidence
to support either theory.
The cantata opens with an
extended movement for
chorus in which Bach
contrasts the concertante
orchestra with festive,
almost homophonic choral
writing. This chorus
movement is repeated at
the end. A simple chorale
movement which comes
fourth indicates that the
nine-movement cantata was
performed in two
sections. Score and part

Latin.
At less than
20 years of age, the
youngest son of the
Leipzig cantor of St.
Thomas, Johann Sebastian
Bach, withdrew from the
Lutheran musical
tradition of his family:
Johann Christian Bach
went to Italy, converted
to Catholicism there and
composed mainly Latin
church music between 1757
and 1760. His great
successes with operas for
Turin, Milan and Naples
from 1761 onwards led him
all the way to London.
Bach's church music
comprises a number of
vespers compositions,
some of them large-scale,
including this
Magnificat a 4
(1760) for soloists,
choir and orchestra. The
very diversified
work gets its additional
attraction from
distinctively led oboes
and horns.
Composed
by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Thi
s six-movement cantata
was performed for the
first time on 26 August
1725 in Leipzig. The text
was written by Bach's
Weimar cantata poet
Salomon Franck and had
been published earlier in
1715 in his collection
Evangelisches
Andachts-Opffer. Here,
Bach bases his work
around the form of the
Weimar cantatas which
take their texts from
Franck's printed
collection (BWV 132, 152,
161-163, 165): movements
1-5 are performed by
vocal soloists, whilst
only the final chorus is
given to the chorus. The
key concepts of the text
are Barmherzigkeit
[compassion], Erbarmen
[mercy] and wahre
Christenliebe [true
Christian love]; the
chamber music arrangement
of the cantata
corresponds with this.
The two arias for tenor
and alto, and the duet
for soprano and bass do
not contain da capo
sections, but repeat the
entire text in a
condensed form. The
instruments do not
contrast as a rule, but
are treated as a string
group (movements 1, 4),
duetting (movement 3),
and as full unison
(movement 5). What is
remarkable in all three
movements is the thematic
linking of the
instrumental ritornello
parts with the vocal
parts through which Bach
achieves a kind of unity
of form. Score and part
available separately -
see item CA.3116400.

It only
became apparent a few
years ago that the text
of the soprano cantata
Falsche Welt, dir trau
ich nicht came from the
collection
Gott-geheiligten
Sabbaths-Zehnden by the
Leipzig theology student
and Bach pupil Christoph
Birkmann, printed in 1728
in Nuremberg. Birkmann
was probably therefore
the author of the text.
The cantata was written
for the 23rd Sunday after
Trinity, which fell on 24
November 1726 in the year
of its first performance.
As in other cantatas in
the first annual cycle,
Bach chose an
instrumental sinfonia as
the opening movement -
here the first movement
of the 1st Brandenburg
Concerto. The soprano
soloist has two
recitatives and two
arias, in which the
falsehood of the world is
juxtaposed with trust in
God. The cantata text is
rounded off with the
first verse of the
chorale In dich hab ich
gehoffet, scored for
four-part chorus, as is
usual with Bach. With the
use of two horns and
three oboes added to the
string ensemble, the
cantata has colorful and
varied orchestration.
