Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150

Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Bernhard Todt (arranger) ; Paul von Waldersee (editor) ; Karel Torvik (editor)

A newly engraved vocal score carefully edited and revised from Berhard Todt's reduction issued in conjunction with Bach Gesellschaft edition. One of Bach's earliest extant works (dated 1708 or 1709), this cantata was likely influenced by the those of Dietrich Buxtehude.The opening string sinfonia is follwed by a short opening chorus in motet style. After a brief attractive aria (for soprano), another chorus, also in motet style, commences with an ascending scale after which the line is handed off... Read more about this item

Gloria in Excelsis Deo, BWV 191

Gloria in Excelsis Deo, BWV 191

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Alfred Dorffel (editor) ; Bernhard Todt (arranger)

An interesting case of self-borrowing. Bach took music from his own Mass in B-minor (BWV 191/1 corresponds to the Gloria in excelsis Deo, BWV 191/2 to the Domine Deus, BWV 191/3 to the Cum Sancto Spiritu) for use in this latin cantata written to celebrate the Peace of Dresden which marked the end of the 2nd Silesian war. It was first performed on Christmas day, 1745. This vocal score is a reissue of the one which was originally published to coincide with Bach Gessellschaft edition. Unlike so many of the...

Magnificat in D major, BWV 243

Magnificat in D major, BWV 243

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Alfred Dürr (editor)

Bach composed the first version of this piece in 1723 using the key of E-flat major for the Christmas Vespers in Leipzig which contained several Christmas texts. Over the years he removed the Christmas-specific texts to make it suitable for year-round performance, and transposed it to D major, providing better sonority for the three trumpets, which is the standard version of the work encountered today. The Magnificat is divided into twelve parts which can be grouped into three movements, each beginning... Read more about this item

Suite aus dem Orchesterwerken

Suite aus dem Orchesterwerken

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Gustav Mahler (arranger)

Mahler's arrangement of four Bach pieces - two each from the baroque master's Orchestral Suites Nos. 3 and 4 (BWV 1067, 1068) were prepared specially for a concert of the New York Philharmonic he conducted on November 10, 1909. Mahler's arrangement is quite unusual for its era and does not significantly depart from Bach's original in the forces required. Mahler's use of the harpsichord (he played the part himself at the premiere) is quite personal - adding the instrument to the orchestra a color more... Read more about this item

St. John Passion 'O Mensch, bewein', BWV 245.2

St. John Passion 'O Mensch, bewein', BWV 245.2

by Johann Sebastian Bach ; Manuel Bärwald (editor) ; Andreas Kohs (arranger)

Unlike Bach's other oratorio compositions, there is no definitive version of the St. John Passion. The first version of 1724 which is today's standard version represents a mixture of different readings. The second version of 1725 was performed under the direction of Bach himself and can therefore be considered authentic. In addition to a change in order of several movements, the second version differs from the earlier version by the use of the opening chorus "O Mensch, bewein".
