Tonalité : D-Dur -. Par HEINICHEN JOHANN DAVID. The Carus program featuring music of the Court of Dresden has been expanded with the publication of the first edition of the great masses of Johann David Heinichen, who, next to Hasse and Zelenka, was the most important musical representative of this capital of Saxony. A peculiarity of this work is the fact that Heinichen inserted an actual concerto movement for solo flute, 2 oboes, strings and continuo between the “Gloria” and “Credo, ” which recommends the Mass for concert performances. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Vocal score and performance material available for sale.Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature.Based on the New Bach Edition.Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng).Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems. As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the Christmas Oratorio) Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration with two Flutes two Oboes threeTrumpets Timpani and Strings creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the New Bach Edition.
