Johann Sebastian Bach: Festive Choral settings from Cantatas: Mixed Choir: Score

from Cantata No. 147-Johann Sebastian Bach is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. His music is revered for its technical command artistic beauty and intellectual depth. This chorale movement is one of his most enduring works however the melody was originally composed before Bach’s time in 1642 by Johann Schop. Utilising the already existing melody Bach wrote this setting of Jesu Joy Of Man’s Desiring in 1716 as the 10th and last movement of the church cantata ‘Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben’ (BWV 147) one of the over three hundred cantatas written by the master of the Baroque period.This edition of the familiar melody which is often performed at weddings and Christian festive seasons like Christmas and Easter is arranged for SATB Chorus and Organ. All four verses of the lyrics are provided in English translation along with the original version in German.

To arrange one of the most beautiful organ fugues by the great classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) for concert band is certainly a demanding task. Klaas van der Woude has however performed this feat to produce this excellent and exciting arrangement. Organ Fugue is suitable for any festive concert!

Kantate Zum Ratswechsel In Leipzig. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's first cantata for the election of the Leipzig town council, composed in August 1723, is one of his most splendidly scored work from his Leipzig period. The choice of opening, with the 'representative' form of a French overture, was suited to a festive orchestral scoring. Two choral movements frame a middle section which consists of two arias and a recitativo accompagnato with a trumpet ritornello. The conclusion of this extended festive music takes a reflective turn in movements 8 and 9, when Bach allows a recitative to be followed by simple, prayer-like chorale movement./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 4 Trompettes, Timbales

Kantate zum Weihnachtsfest. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The Christmas cantata Gloria in excelsis Deo BWV 191, which has always presented researchers with many challenging problems, is among the few works to Latin words set by Johann Sebastian Bach. It consists of three sections - a finely-woven duet flanked by two festive choral movements - which we are to encounter again almost note for note in the world-famous Mass in B minor./ Répertoire / Score

August lebe lebe König from Cantata 207a-A Festive Tribute (?Hommage festif?) est le titre de cet arrangement du superbe chœur extrait de la cantate profane BWV 207 écrite par Bach en 1726 mais qui connaîtra un franc succès dans sa deuxième mouture intégrée dans la Cantate BWV 207a Auf schmetternde Töne der muntern Trompeten(?Résonnez éclatantes trompettes !?).Comme à son habitude Bach puise dans des œuvres antérieures. Ainsi à l?exception des récitatifs la Cantate BWV 207a reprend le tissu musical de la Cantate BWV 207 elle-même fortement inspirée des oncertos brandebourgeois La Cantate BWV 207a est une œuvre datée de 1735 et dédiée à Auguste III roi de Pologne et prince électeur de Saxe. Jean-Sébastien Bach a composé plusieurs œuvres pour le nouveau souverain en appui à sa candidature au poste de compositeur de la Cour titre honorifique qu?Auguste III lui accordera finalement en 1736.Si le texte de la cantate est un rien obséquieux la musique est festive et exploite les couleurs luxuriantes de l'orchestration. Bach joue des possibilités du grand orchestre avec trompettes hautbois d?amour et flûtes. Le chœur final August lebe lebe König ! (?Vive Auguste ! Vive le roi !?) nous révèle un Bach hautement cérémoniel.
