Bach newly interpreted - the vocal band Slixs edited a songbook for mixed vocal ensemble or small choral ensemble containing unusual arrangements of instrumental works by Johann Sebastian Bach. The arrangements range between classical interpretation and flirting with jazz. They demand from the singers a profound basic education in music and flexible alternation between the voices. Explanations of how to pronounce the syllables to be sung help to generate equal instrumental tones. / Choeur Mixte

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. J. S. Bach's Johannes Passion BWV 245 for SATB and Piano. Die Johannespassion zählt neben der doppelchörigen Matthäuspassion, dem Weihnachtsoratorium, dem Magnificat und der h-Moll-Messe zu den groß en Vokalwerken der Leipziger Jahre Johann Sebastian Bachs.

Practical performing Urtext edition based on the latest state of Bach research. Every era hears and interprets Bach anew and every era also evaluates the sources afresh and with new eyes. 40 years after the publication of the St. Matthew Passion in the New Bach Edition Klaus Hofmann Director of the Johann Sebastian Bach Institute Göttingen for many years and a contributing editor to the New Bach Edition presents a new edition. Hofmann has placed the study of the sources at the service of musical practice and the detailed investigation of Bach’s intentions. Bach scholars are well aware that Bach’s original score and performance parts running to almost 500 pages of music are full of ambiguities and contradictions particularly regarding articulation which constantly challenge performers to new interpretations. Hofmann discusses these and other problems in a concise critical report frequently arriving at new conclusions in the process. Extensive notes about parallel passages offer valuable help for interpretation. Special attention was devoted to the performance material with regard to practical needs. Thus for example the text incipits are also printed in the instrumental parts (including tacet passages). In short - an Urtext edition for practical performance based on the latest findings in Bach research.

Autograph: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz-'I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.'(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy)Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach's 'St Matthew Passion'.

A further special feature is the coloured ink with which he wrote the biblical text and the music of the chorale 'O Lamm Gottes unschuldig'.This facsimile edition reproduces the autograph score of the 'St Matthew Passion' for the first time in high-quality colour printing.
