Kantate Zum 3. Weihnachtstag. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The cantata 'Ich freue mich in dir' was first performed during Bach's second year as Thomaskantor, on the 3rd day of Christmas, and belongs to the so-called annual cycle of chorale cantatas. Here the focus of the composition is the hymn of the same name by Philipp Ziegler, in which the first and final strophes were adopted, word for word, in…

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This enchanting melody is from the fourth movement of Bach’s Cantata 140 which was composed in 1731 using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as the text. The work is beautiful in its simplicity with only three melodic lines, demonstrating Bach’s counterpoint at its best. For greatest effect it is suggested that the trumpets and t…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach transcriptions have always been popular for the musical brilliance of the Baroque master opens up a vast field, for composers and performers.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's original setting of the Magnificat in E-flat major written for Christmas vespers in 1723 includes four inserts, placed at the end of the score, to give a dramataic representation of the Nativity.

Between 1724 and 1750 the work was performed at least four times in various Leipzig churches under the composer‘s direction and for every one of these occasions it was revised – sometimes quite substantially. This edition presents the St. John Passion in its second version of 17…

It is therefore one of a small number of chorale cantatas which contain no free poetic texts. Correspondingly, there are no recitatives either. It has only recently been assumed that this three-movement work was not intended …

Englische Suite Nr. 5 e-moll BWV 810. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Les «Suites anglaises» comptent parmi les chefs-d’œuvre de la littérature pour piano.
