Johann Sebastian Bachâ??s arrangements of the â??69 Sacred Songsâ? from the Musical Hymnal by Georg Christian Schemelli (Leipzig, 1736) have long been part of the German language vocal concert repertoire and a mainstay in vocal pedagogy. Originally, only these 69 of the 954 hymns in the collection were published with a single bass line as the accompaniment. Bachâ??s contribution was to specify harmonies to be played over those same bass lines by adding figured bass numbers and symbols beneath each note.
A figured bass line can easily be turned into a relatively simple guitar accompaniment or a more elaborate setting, offering a range of possibilities that make working with this music both interesting and rewarding for the guitarist. While other period and modern editions of the â??69 Sacred Songsâ? offer accompaniments for keyboard instruments, this Mel Bay publication features intermediate to advanced transcriptions exclusively for the guitar.
Best suited to college-level players or advanced aficionados, this special Mel Bay Publications edition includes the vocal line with German lyrics and the guitar accompaniment transcribed from Bachâ??s figured bass lines. Written in guitar-friendly keys, 29 of the transcriptions employ a capo to achieve the original key designed for high voices. Without the capo, these same arrangements would be suitable to be sung by lower voices. The remaining 40 hymns are in their original guitar-friendly keys and so do not require a capo.
This volume contains accompaniment settings of all 69 of the sacred songs and arias for which Bach wrote figured bass annotation. For performance variety and convenience, this book includes â??Scores in their Original Keys,â? and stand-alone â??Guitar Accompaniment,â? and â??Bass Parts.

The fourth volume of Johann Adam Hiller's editions of motets and arias continues where the previous volumes left off, with further motets by Graun, Hiller, Homilius and Rolle. Once again the motets of Theodor Christlieb Reinhold are represented. Reinhold was Kantor at the Dresden Kreuzkirche during the time Bach was Thomaskantor in Leipzig. This volume concludes with four senstive choral arias by the early Bach admirer Christian Friedrich Penzel after psalm texts which appeared at that time as poetic translations by Johann Andreas Cramer.

The six collections of Vierstimmige Motetten und Arien published by Johann Adam Hiller offer a selection of motets, mostly from the second half of the 18th century. They show us the products of a new age of achievement in which the motet was again able to flourish after this genre had led only a shadowlike existence for more than a century. The editor of those collections, Johann Adam Hiller, was active as a composer of Singspie, editor of various musical periodicals, leader of the Gewandhaus concerts, University Director of Music, musical director of the Neukirche, and finally, from 1789, Thomaskantor in Leipzig. Upon Hiller's assumption of the office of Thomaskantor the older motets were replaced in Leipzig church services by contemporary compositions. Printed texts which have been preserved show that Hiller's collections were used widely. A Critical Report from the editor, Uwe Wolf, with additional information concerning the motets and their composers, will be published to cover all the collections.

The final part from 1791 took on a new direction, as was reflected in the formulation of the title: Four-part Latin and German choral settings for use by choirs in churches and schools. The first part, or the motet collection, part VI, from Johann Adam Hiller, Ducal Music Director of Kurland, Cantor of St. Thomas School and Music Director of both of the main churches in Leipzig. (additional parts were not published). The volume precedes a foreword, in which Hiller relates why he composed and published the present pieces. Of special interest is the great amount of information about church music and liturgical practice of this time, which he in part could shape, but in the face of whose traditions he also sometimes felt powerless. So this foreword belongs among the most important documents on the living practice of Protestant church music in the last years of the 18th century.

In his six-volume collection Motetten und Chorarien (1779) Johann Adam Hiller compiled the works of his fellow composers in six volumes and published them himself. The third volume of this collection contains compositions of the master motet composers, Homilius and Rolle, as well as works by Graun, Caldara, Fehre, Tag and Hiller. The motet by Caldara, a Latin composition for three lower voices and basso continuo, is in many respects out of place.
