After breaking off the annual cantata cycle at the end of March 1725 Bach set a series of cantata texts by the Leipzig poet Christiana Mariana von Ziegler, who maintained one of the first literary-musical salons. The large scale chorale chorus ties this work to the chorale cantatas. The central bass aria Auf,auf, mit hellem Schall with solo trumpet is note-worthy since in place of a middle section in the aria, here Bach employs an accompagnato recitative. Score available separately - see item CA.3112800.

This new work by Gary Fagan is sure to produce shivers up and down your spine! Introduced by a haunting woodwind motif that plays during the majestic trumpet opening, the mood quickly changes to that of joy and celebration. The mood changes in the middle section, introducing a beautiful melody in the woodwinds, which is then shared by the brass, with a stirring countermelody in the horns. An abbreviated A section returns followed by a restatement of the opening trumpet theme which brings this piece to an exciting conclusion.

The Hochzeitskantate (Wedding Cantata) BWV 195 was performed by Bach from around 1730 at various wedding celebrations in different forms, and was evidently also lent out for performances further afield. The only surviving version of the work dates from the last years of Bach's life. The opulently-scored first part begins and ends with grand choral movements, and Bach scored both parts for soloists and for chorus. At the centre of the cantata is an exceptionally sensitive bass aria, probably one of Bach's most modern vocal compositions of all. A chorale movement (Nun danket all and bringet Ehr/ Now thank we all and offer praise) with obbligato horns concludes the cantata as the second part after the consummation.

Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion in 1829. He integrated chorale settings into St. Paul, for which he was accused by his contemporaries of making a stylistic break, using an element unsuitable to church music. In spite of these reservations, during Mendelssohn's lifetime St. Paul was one of his most popular works, which received numerous performances throughout Europe. Robert Schuman praised the inextinguishable color of the instrumentation and the brilliant play with all the forms of composition. He described it as a jewel of the present..

Mendelssohns unfinished 3rd oratorio in its first critical edition. The parts Die Geburt Christi and Das Leiden Christi are presented with full orchestration. In 1852, five years after Mendelsohn's death, two independently-performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published under the title Christus. The second fragment, The Suffering of Jesus, comes from the middle of the Passion story: the scene Jesus before Pilot is presented with rapid, dramatic alternation between the recitatives of the evangelist (tenor) and choruses of the people. A contemplative choral movement closes the fragment.

During Mendelssohns years of study with Zelter, the arrangement of chorales already played an important role, and he continued to be occupied with the protestant chorale throughout his symphonic and oratorical work. The break Bach's works in connection with the reperformance of the St. Matthew Passion led to a series of cantatas based on well-known chorale melodies for choir, instruments, and sometimes also for soloists.

This work, written by Maxwell Davies in 1983 for chamber orchestra, was commissioned to celebrate the quartercentenary of Edinburgh University. The first performance was given by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Edward Harper in October 1983. Duration c. 29mins. This work was thought through in outline following a visit to the ruined pre-Reformation church of Hoy in Orkney, on a fine Spring afternoon after Maxwell Davies had played the harmonium for the tiny congregation in its large bleak Victorian replacement. The old church was surrounded by the graves of centuries, the more recent ones with familiar names, largely of people who lived in houses now ruinous - crofters, fishermen, clerics, sea-captains. Next to it stood the chief farmhouse, the Bu, going back to Viking times. He thought of the lives and deaths encompassed there, expressed through hundreds of years of music in the church, and in the big barn of the farm. The plainsongs 'Dies Irae' and 'Victimae Paschali Laudes' are used throughout the work - the first concerning the Day of Judgement, from the Mass for the Dead, the second particular to Easter Sunday and the Resurrection. These are subject to constant transformation - the intervallic contour slowly changes from one into the other, and their notes are made to dance through Renaissance astrological 'magic square' patterns. The orchestra consists of double woodwind, two horns, two trumpets and strings.

The Requiem in C minor by Francesco Durante (1684–1755) is one of the most important works of this genre written in the first half of the 18th century. In his Messa de’ morti, Durante shows great creativity in combining traditional elements of church music with new ideas originating from instrumental writing and opera. The quality and originality of his Requiem make it an exciting rediscovery with the potential to establish itself as a core repertoire work of sacred choral music.
Mainly known today as the teacher of Pergolesi and Paisiello, Durante spent much of his life working as music director at various conservatories in Naples and enjoyed great renown as a church composer well into the 19th century. Despite its widespread popularity, indicated by the number of manuscript copies to be found across Europe, his Requiem never appeared in print. For this first publication, editor and leading British choral director Stephen Darlington has consulted many of the approximately 50 surviving sources of the work, presenting a critical edition which for the first time makes Durante’s Requiem available to a wider musical audience.
This edition of Durante’s Requiem has been recorded by Stephen Darlington, with Oxford’s Christ Church Cathedral Choir, soloists from The Sixteen and Oxford Baroque.

There are just over twenty secular cantatas in Bach's prolific output, which include The Coffee Cantata (No 211), The Wedding Cantata (No 202), Phoebus and Pan (No 201) and the Hunt Cantata (No 208) which contains the famous aria Sheep May Safely Graze. Written for four vocal soloists it was originally scored for a relatively large orchestra (including flutes (recorders), oboes and horns) and mixed choir. Although secular in character, the words describe how well a faithful shepherd keeps watch over his flock and hence has obvious allusions to the teachings of the Christian church. Bring a bit of the Baroque era to your concert with this first class arrangement by Philip Sparke.Bach schreef zijn Jachtcantate (BWV 208) - met daarin de aria Schafe können sicher weiden (Sheep May Safely Graze) - in 1713, ter gelegenheid van de verjaardag van hertog Christian van Sachsen-Weißenfels. Later volgdenbewerkingen voor vergelijkbare verjaardagsfeesten en naamdagen. De cantate is geschreven voor vier solisten (Diana, Pales, Endymion en Pan), een relatief groot orkest (met (blok)fluiten, hobo’s en hoorns) en koor. Sheep MaySafely Graze wordt gezongen door Pales, de godin van kudden en weiden, begeleid door een paar blokfluiten of dwarsfluiten. Deze bewerking van Philip Sparke betekent een verrijking voor elk repertoire.Bachs produktives Schaffen brachte nur etwa zwanzig weltliche Kantaten hervor, darunter auch die Jagd-Kantate (BWV 208), welche die berühmte Arie Schafe können sicher weiden enthält. Geschrieben für vier Solisten, ist die Kantate für ein relativ großes Orchester instrumentiert, das neben Flöten, Oboen und Hörnern auch einen gemischten Chor vorsieht. Bringen Sie mit dieser gelungenen Bearbeitung etwas barocke Atmosphäre in Ihr Konzert! L’immense production de Jean-Sébastien Bach ne contient qu’une vingtaine de cantates profanes dont la Cantate du café (BWV 211), la Cantate du mariage (BWV 202), Phébus et Pan (BWV 201) et la Cantate de la chasse (BWV 208), dont est extrait l’air Sheep May Safely Graze (Schafe können sicher weiden - Que les brebis paissent en paix). Bach était depuis peu au service du duc de Weimar lorsqu’il accepta, en 1713, une invitation Weißenfels pour l’anniversaire du duc Christian de Saxe-Weißenfels. cette occasion, il composa la Cantate de la chasse, une cantate de félicitations l’adresse du duc, passionné de chasse. Par la suite, Bachremania cette cantate pour célébrer d’autres fêtes et anniversaires. La Cantate de la chasse est orchestrée pour quatre voix solistes incarnant des figures mythologiques (Diane, Pales, Endymion et Pan), un ensemble orchestral assez large (incluant des fl tes/fl tes bec, des hautbois et des cors) et un Chœur mixte. Le texte, chantant les vertus de la chasse, est un panégyrique peine déguisé du duc régnant. Accompagnée par deux fl tes (fl tes bec), Palès, déesse des troupeaux et des p tures, entonne l’air Sheep May Safely Graze. Bien que de caractère profane, le texte utilise l’image du berger comme l’image même de la gr ce en référence une parole fondamentale de Jésus. L’immenso lavoro di Johann Sebastian Bach contiene una ventina di cantate profane tra le quali la Cantata della Caccia (BWV 208) dalla quale è estratta Sheep May Safely Graze (Schafe können sicher weiden). Accompagnata da due flauti dolci, Pales, Dea dei greggi e dei pastori, intona l’aria Sheep May Safely Graze. Pur se di carattere profano, il testo utilizza l’immagine del pastore come l’immagine della grazia riportata ad una parola fondamentale di Gesù.
