Brass Ensemble,Chamber Orchestra Euphonium,Trombone,Tuba - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.508209 Arranged by Eric Burger Music. Baroque. Score and parts. 40 pages. Eric Burger Music #3514925. Published by Eric Burger Music (A0.508209). Come, Jesus, Come - BWV 229, Liepzig (1731) It was composed in Leipzig, and received its first performance by 1731–1732. Bach scored the motet for double choir. It was probably composed for a funeral, as others of his motets but exact dates of composition and performance are not known. It is his only motet without biblical text. He set a poem by Paul Thymich, which Johann Schelle set as a funeral aria in 1684. Also unusually, the motet is not closed by a chorale, but by an aria which is harmonized like a chorale. The work has been described as having a confident, intimate and tender character, and making more use of polychorality (interplay of the two choirs) than polyphony (interplay of the voices), containing no fugue. The theme of the text is death as the happy moment when man, tired of earthly life, can confide in Jesus, who is seen as Truth and Life and the only way to eternal life.
