Johann Sebastian Bach: St Matthew Passion BWV 244: SATB: Vocal Score

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. / Piano

Johann Sebastian Bach's Here Yet Awhile from 'St. Matthew Passion' for SSAATTBB choir with Piano or Organ accompaniment. Edited by H. W. Nicholl.

The Parallel German-English Texts with Annotations-The major choral works by Johann Sebastian Bach-the Christmas Easter and Ascension Oratorios and the St. Matthew St. Mark and St. John Passions-stand as the most frequently-performed and penetratingly discussed of the genre. Renowned Bach scholar Michael Marissen has assembled a compact well-designed and ideally useful treatment of Bach's oratorios providing the full German texts with literal English translations and copious annotations. He provides strict literal translations of these texts with citations from the Luther Bible as it was known in Bach's day along side extensive footnotes that provide information addressing the interests and concerns of today's Bachcommunity. These are the first translations of the librettos from Bach's oratorios to accommodate the many sense-clarifying allusions to the readings of the Luther Bibles in Bach's day to explore from historical dictionaries the meanings of previously unnoticed archaic usages and to contrast relevant findings from modern biblical scholarship. Marissen's insights are particularly helpful his thoroughness is impressive and the book will be a longstanding definitive and essential reference for choral directors performers audience members and Bach scholars alike.
