| Added by magataganm, 24 Sep 2021 The Neumeister Collection is a compilation of 82 chorale preludes found in a manuscript copy produced by Johann Gottfried Neumeister (1757–1840). When the manuscript was rediscovered at the Yale University in the 1980s it appeared to contain 31 previously unknown early chorale settings by Johann Sebastian Bach, which were added to the BWV catalogue as Nos. 1090–1120 and published in 1985. Here is another of the Bach chorale preludes discovered in 1985 by Christoph Wolff in the so-called Neumeister Collection at the Yale Library. Wolff's unearthing of the 82 works in the set, 38 of which are attributed to Bach, was one of the more important rediscoveries in twentieth century music. While many of the works are not masterpieces, some are, and almost all are worthwhile at the very least. This one, "Christus, der ist mein Leben" (Christ, You Who Are My Life), is certainly worth attention, even if it is not among the more important items in the collection. The work opens in a somber mood, the chorale theme rising from the middle ranges in muted, barren sonorities and moving upward to reach an angelic expressive manner with richer textures and a sense of tenderness. Bach supplies a goodly measure of contrapuntal activity, but also divulges the influence of Pachelbel and Buxtehude, not least because his music exhibits far less ornamentation here than would become the norm for him, even by 1708. This short work most likely dates to the earlier part of the composition period given in the headnote.

Although originally written for Organ, I created this Arrangement of the Chorale Prelude "Christus, der ist mein Leben" (Christ, You Who Are My Life) BWV 1112 for Brass Quartet (Bb Trumpet, Flugelhorn, French Horn & Tuba). | |||
