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). Score and part
available separately -
see item CA.1036900.
