Graupner-Werke-Verzeichnis (Gwv). Instrumentalmusik. Christoph Graupner [1683–1760], Hofkapellmeister in Darmstadt, gehörte zu den bekanntesten Komponisten des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die große Anzahl der Werke stand bisher einer Erfassung in einem thematischen Werkverzeichnis im Wege; das 2005 erschienene Graupner-Werke-Verzeichnis [Instrumentalmusik] stellt deswegen eine Pioniertat in der Graupner-Forschung dar. Neben den Nachweisen der Quellen, der bereits vorhandenen Noteneditionen und Tonaufzeichnungen sowie Literaturstellen für jedes Werk gewährleisten diverse Register [u. a. der Satztitel und der verwendeten Instrumente] einen schnellen Zugriff unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten. Erstmals wird eine kritische Trennung zwischenden nachweislich authentischen und den zweifelhaften oder sogar fälschlich zugeschriebenen Werken vorgenommen./ Répertoire / Divers

Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) is one of the many composers who laid the groundwork for their careers as pupils at the St. Thomas school in Leipzig. After subsequently studying law in Leipzig he was initially employed as a harpsichordist at the Hamburg Opera, which was followed by his appointment to the position of Kapellmeister at the court of Darmstadt. He was selected for the position of Thomaskantor in 1723, but his patron in Darmstadt refused to release him. Graupner's more than 1,400 cantatas occupy a central position in the history of the Protestant church cantata. Here, for the first time, in this six-volume thematic catalog his entire opus is presented and elucidated by means of detailed incipits for each movement of each work, including all of the relevant information, such as scoring, history of the sources, dating and origin of the text. This Graupner catalog is also an indispensable reference work for understanding the music of the Bach era. Score available separately - see item CA.2402900.

At the time of his death in 1760, Christoph Graupner - a contemporary of Bach who supplied the Landgrave residing in Darmstadt with music for five decades from 1709 onwards - left a vast oeuvre which has hardly been explored to date: innumerable instrumental works and a massive body of more than 1400 sacred cantatas. The first volume of the Thematic Catalog of the sacred works has now been published. It contains the cantatas for the festive cycle of Christmas from the 1st Advent Sunday to the 5th Sunday of Epiphany. Extensive incipits of all the cantata movements fill a large part of the book which also includes indexes for, amongst others, chorale melodies and biblical quotations. Score available separately - see item CA.2402900.
