The Actus tragicus or Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit BWV 106 remains one of Bach's best-known and most admired works, one which continues to resonate to this day - a work of genius such as even great masters seldom achieve (Alfred Durr). The cantata is one of the earliest known vocal works by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was written during his time at Muhlhausen, probably in 1707, when Bach took up the position of organist at the Divi Blasii Church. A possible occasion for its composition may have been the funeral of the mayor of Muhlhausen, Adolph Strecker. The short, slow Sonatina with two recorders, two gambas and continuo gets the listener into the mood of the character of the cantata. This instrumental combination is unique in Bach's vocal output, but could derive from a central German tradition. This new edition is a critical-practical edition which combines both the latest discoveries in Bach research with a detailed Critical Report as well as addressing current questions on performance practice. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3110600.

In 1785, Mozart repeatedly visited the Viennese Freemasons Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht, where on 12 August Carl von Konig was elevated to the rank of a Master. It was fort his ceremony that Mozart composed the Meistermusik (Master Music) for mens chorus and orchestra. The score does not contain the choral parts, perhaps because they were doubled by the oboe I and clarinet parts, a pecularity undoubtedly suited to the singing capacity of the Lodge members. From a detailed analyses of the work and of the Freemasons practices, on can infer that the text was drawn from the third Lamentation of Jeremiah. Mozart at least entered the correct date of composition of the Master Music in his own work catalogue, namely Jully (1785).For a performance without chorus which most probably took place on 9 December 1785, Mozart added three new, low wind parts which emphasize the gloomy mood of the work. It is with these added parts that the work has come down to us as the Maurerische Trauermusik (Masonic Funeral Music).In 1785, Mozart repeatedly visited the Viennese Freemasons' Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht, where on 12 August Carl von Konig was elevated to the rank of a Master.
