Item Description: | Figured bass unrealized. "The six church cantatas contained in this volume are all based on works by leading eighteenth-century German composers of sacred music...these cantatas were assembled by Bach for performance in Hamburg's five principal churches in fulfillment of his duties as town music director... reworking a single composition designed for a particular occasion in small ways--switching or shortening movements, adding recitatives, making small changes to the text...or Bach would assemble a completely new work, a pasticcio, from various Vorlagen. Bach followed the second practice to assemble all the works contained in this volume, except one, Lobsinget dem Heiland, BR-CPEB F35, and even for that work he eventually turned it into a pasticcio as well."--Page xiii. BR-CPEB F 31 based on a work attributed to Graun (Graun WV Bv:IX:14/GSV 17), but likely by Stölzel (see pages xvii-xviii). Includes list of sacred works likely performed by Bach in Hamburg's principal churches (pages xxi-xxx). Preface, introduction, and critical report in English. |
