Motet for five-part mixed choir-All of Bach s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas Church Leipzig where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period Bach composed most of his cantatas and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions.Four of his six motets were written for the funeral services of prominent members of the St Thomas congregation. Jesu Meine Freude (BWV 227) the longest most musically complex and earliest of the six was written in 1723 for the funeralof Johanna Maria Käsin the wife of Leipzig s postmaster.Jesu Meine Freude BWV 227 is a beautifully constructed motet for five-part mixed choir by J.S. Bach. This Urtext edition provides you with a clear and accurate realisation of the composer s original intentions and includes thoroughly detailed editorial markings and suggestions as edited by Konrad Ameln.Urtext of the New Bach EditionPerformance material and choral score (BA5132) available for saleComplete edition of the 6 Motets Vocal score with Piano reduction (BA5193-90) choral score (BA5193)

Key: E minor. German. Text: Johann Frank.
For many choral singers Jesu, meine Freude is not just a motet by Bach, but the motet par excellence. Bach's motets as a whole have to be described as exceptional works, but even amongst these this is an exceptional work which is out of the ordinary not only in terms of its length. The formal conception, with its alternating chorale and Bible verses in 11 sections in a symmetrical structure, is also unique. The motet was very probably composed for a funeral, but no further details about this are known. By comparison, there are clear indications that the motet, as we now know it, was probably not composed in one go, but was composed over a long period of time. Score available separately - see item CA.3122700.

Bach's Motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf (The Spirit gives aid to our weakness) BWV 226 was composed in 1729. The Motet was written for the funeral of the blessed rector Ernesti, Professor of poetry at Leipzig University. It is written for eight voices of two four-part choirs. Mr. Sauer has done a magnificent job transcribing all six of Bach's choral motets BWV 225-230 for 8-part Trombone Ensemble. This is a major undertaking. All are very worthy additions to the Trombone Ensemble repertoire. This work for double 4-part choir of three movements is about 7 1/2 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers. The top voices in each choir have parts supplied in both alto and tenor clef.

Georg Christoph Billers „Drei Motetten“ für vielstimmig gemischten Chor, Solo-Bariton (in „St. Thomas-Motette“ und „Hiobs Botschaft“) und Bassinstrument (ad lib.) zeugen vom vielschichtigen Kompositionsstil des ehemaligen Thomaskantors und sind in praktischen Einzelausgaben mit separater Bassstimme erhältlich.Als zweite der „Drei Motetten“ verweisen die „Botschaften Jesajas“ zunächst auf Johann Sebastian Bachs Motette „Fürchte dich nicht“ BWV 228. Die Motette für vier- bis sechsstimmigen gemischten Chor und Bassinstrument (ad libitum) ist gespickt von musikalischen Zitaten. Sogar Anklänge der Nationalhymne der DDR halten Einzug in Georg Christoph Billers Komposition. Schließlich ertönt im Schlussfugato das „Thema Regium“ aus dem „Musikalischen Opfer“ BWV 1079 von Johann Sebastian Bach.Informationen zu den Audio-Aufnahmen (siehe Multimedia)Botschaften Jesajas Leipziger Vocalensemble Leitung: Georg Christoph Biller Aufnahme: 10.

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 authorMartin Petzoldt was Professor for Systematic Theology at the theological faculty of the Leipzig University.

Johann Kuhnau's extant vocal works will be fully complete in the Breitkopf & Hartel catalogue in coming years. These are cantatas as a rule, but at least works with instrumental accompaniment. The Three Motets in this volume are therefore unique, including in addition to the well known Tristis est anima mea, also the two other extant Kuhnau motets Ach Gott, wie lasst du mich verstarren, as well as Gott hat uns nicht gesetzt zum Zorn. Each one, of five parts (with the tenor or canto part doubled), these masterpieces round out the picture of Johann Kuhnau, Johann Sebastian Bach's predecessor as St. Thomas cantor. Really interesting. Kuhnau shows a real feeling for the texts he is setting, with effective chromaticism in the doleful 'Tristis est anima mea'.(Jeremy Jackman, Choir & Organ).

Eine wertvolle Bereicherung fur das Repertoire geistlicher A-cappella-Chormusik stellt Carl Friedrich Zelters Motette Der Mensch lebt und bestehet nur eine kleine Zeit dar. Die in der Reihe 'Schatze der Chormusik' erschienene Motette fur achtstimmigen Doppelchor (SATB/SATB) wurde schon zu Lebzeiten hoch gelobt: 'Das Ganze zerfallt in drei Teile. Der erste stellt dar: die Hinfalligkeit des Menschen und die Verganglichkeit aller Welt.' Es folgt ein 'wahres Meisterstuck von musikalischer Architektonik, eine achtstimmige Fuge, wie sie nach Johann Sebastian Bach und Fasch selten in solcher Reinheit und Kunst hervorgegangen sein durfte. Hierauf folgt ein herrlicher Triumphgesang, der gewaltig mit sich fortreisst, so dass die Horer selbst mit einstimmen mochten.' - Ein in jeder Beziehung lohnendes Werk also, das fur ambitionierte Laienchore problemlos einzustudieren sein durfte.

Jesu, meine Freude was composed sometime between 1723 and 1727, most likely for the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. It is the longest and most musically complex of Bach's six motets, originally for 5-part choir comprising eleven movements. Mr. Sauer has done a magnificent job transcribing all six of Bach's choral motets BWV 225-230 for 8-part Trombone Ensemble. This is a major undertaking. All are very worthy additions to the Trombone Ensemble repertoire. This work for 8-part Trombone ensemble of eleven movements is about 19 minutes in length. Because of its length, it is possible to divide the music into three sections and perform each section separately. This music is appropriate for advanced performers. The top two voices have parts supplied in both alto and tenor clef.
