Johann
Sebastian Bach's
Magnificat BWV 243 was
composed in its first
form in E flat, right at
the beginning of Bach's
period in Leipzig, for
the Visitation of Mary on
2.7.1723; for a further
performance on the 1st
day of Christmas, Bach
added four extra
Christmas movements
following a Leipzig
tradition. Only in the
1730s did Bach arrange
the Magnificat in the
well-known version in D;
the orchestration was
slightly altered,
particularly improving
the considerable
practical performance
problems encountered in
the E flat major version.
Our critical new edition
contains the version of
the Magnificat in D,
based on Bach's autograph
score. For Christmas
performances the extra
movements are available
separately, transposed
for performance with the
D major version of the
Magnificat (Carus
31.243/50). Score
available separately -
