Johann Sebastian Bach: Magnificat In D/Magnificat In E Flat: SSA: Vocal Score

Vocal Score of Johann Sebastian Bach's Magnificat BWV 243 for Soli Choir and Orchestra.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Johann Sebastian Bach’s 'Magnificat' BWV 243 was composed in its first form in E flat, right at the beginning of Bach’s period in Leipzig, possibly for the Visitation of Mary on July 2, 1723. Its performance on Christmas Day 1723 is well documented. Following a Leipzig tradition, Bach wrote four extra Christmas movements for this occasion.Only in the 1730s did Bach arrange the 'Magnificat' into the well-known version in D; the orchestration was slightly altered, particularly improving the considerable practical performance problems encountered in the E flat major version. Our critical Carus edition by Bach expert Dr. Ulrich Leisinger contains the version of the 'Magnificat in D', based on Bach’s autograph score. For Christmas performances the extra movements are available separately (Carus 31.243/50). / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Solo SSATB, SSATB et Orchestre

Fassung Ii. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The St. John Passion ranks alongside the St. Matthew Passion, the Christmas Oratorio, the Magnificat and the B minor Mass as one of the great vocal works from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Leipzig years. In contrast to his other large-scale choral works, however, Bach never gave this work a definitive final form. Rather, for every performance he substantially revised the general concept of the piece and also changed numerous details. All previous editions of the St. John Passion have combined readings from various layers of sources and thus present the work in a form which was never heard during Bach’s lifetime. Consequently, the wish often expressed by conductors to perform anauthentic version by Bach could not be easily achieved. The present critical, new edition of the St. John Passion fulfills this wish and for the first time makes available the complete music of the second version of the work as it was performed under Bach’s direction in 1725. Since a number of movements were replaced by others, including the opening chorus, this version differs most dramatically from the “standard” version which is well known today. / Date parution : 2005-12-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATBB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières

Messen Magnificat Motetten-The Bach commentary discusses in four extensive volumes Johann Sebastian Bach’s complete sacred vocal works from a theological point of view. In the scope of previous research musicologists attempted to understand Johann Sebastian Bach’s sacred vocal works based on a general knowledge of the Lutheran church and theology. A theological equivalent to the fundamental Bach research presented by musicologists – one that would mainly draw from the contemporary theology relevant for the texts Bach set to music – has not been presented until now. Closing this gap the Bach commentary is based on extensive theological research and offers readers comprehensible insights into the Bible interpretation used by Johann Sebastian Bach in his sacred vocal works. Volume IV contains Bach’s masses Magnificat and motets. The author Martin Petzoldt was Professor for Systematic Theology at the theological faculty of the Leipzig University.
