Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern (How Bright And Fair The Morning Star) BWV 1. Cantata for the Feast of Annunciation Day.The cantata ? Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern? BWV 1 was written for 25 March 1725 when the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary coincided with Palm Sunday. It forms the conclusion of Bach?s cantata cycle of 1724/25.The anonymous librettist retained the outer verses 1 and 7 of Philipp Nicolai?s text (1599) which is assigned to the feast of Epiphany according to old tradition but was also sung at the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary. Verses 2 to 6 form the basis for the Tenor and Bassrecitatives and the Soprano and Tenor arias.Bach?s composition has a particularly festive brilliance with his use of 2 Horns 2 Oboes Da Caccia and the two concertante solo Violins. The Violins? lively figurations clearly reflect an image of the shining morning star.- Urtext of the New Bach Edition.- Original German text with English singing translation.- Idiomatic and easy-to-play Piano reduction.- Performance material (BA10001) vocal score (BA10001-90) & study score (TP1001) available for sale.

This carol was composed in March 2009 and bears a dedication to Jeremy Backhouse and the Vasari Singers with whom Pott has enjoyed a fruitful creative relationship over recent years. The folk ballad style of the anonymous traditional text lent itself well to a musical setting that preserved the original strophic arrangement and this in turn encouraged the use of textural variation in successive verses to offset repetition of the same musical material. One ‘verse’ of music actually spans two verses of text and therefore the first verse of the poem is here repeated before the fifth and last of the original an arrangement which permits three completemusical presentations. In the second of these the melody is sung by the tenors against a flowing wordlessly hushed background. In the third the melody deviates slightly presenting its central material slightly higher in pitch to create a restrained climax before a slower more melancholic peroration.
