Composed by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Edited by Ulrich Leisinger. Choral Score. BR-CPEB D 3 (Wq 240). Duration 73 minutes. Carus Verlag #3324005. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3324005). ISBN 9790007262204. German. Text: Ramler, Carl Wilhelm. Of the three oratorios which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed when he was music director in Hamburg, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is particularly intended to create splendor and effect with its use of magnificent-sounding trumpets and timpani. Bach liked this work very much and had it published in 1787, the year before his death. The following year the oratorio was performed by Mozart in Vienna.
The text of the oratorio by Carl Wilhelm Ramler (1725–1798; better known as the poet of the frequently-set “Der Tod Jesu”) covers the Easter story of the disciples at Emmaus and the doubting Thomas, up to the image of Jesus ascending to heaven.
The score is published as Vol. IV,2 of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Edition, edited by the Packard Humanities Institute. Carus publishes the vocal score and choral score for this work. The full score and parts can also be obtained from Carus.
