In his handbook Bach vocal. Ein Handbuch, the renowned Bach scholar Christoph Wolff has compiled the basic information on all of Johann Sebastian Bach's vocal works in a compact, clear form. Alongside titles, date of composition, librettists, and scoring, for each individual movement the scoring, text incipit, and meter are given. Different versions have been evaluated, as well as the relationships of the works to each other (the parody models).All groups of works and genres are presented in a systematic classification: as well as the church cantatas, oratorios, Passions, motets, and the Latin church music, the catalog also includes the secular cantatas and related works which are interrelated with the sacred works in many ways. Introductory chapters for each genre place it in its music-historical and biographical context.The available relevant new editions for each work and each version are listed. In addition, the many indices included make this handbook an indispensable reference work. Bach vocal is published in hardback and as an e-book.The author Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Christoph Wolff is one of the leading Bach scholars of his generation. He is Professor emeritus of Harvard University and was Director of the Leipzig Bach-Archiv from 2001 to 2013.

C. P. E. Bach's nine-movement Magnificat (1749), the first great vocal work from his Berlin years, is among the most magnificent sounding, in which the solo vocal parts are also among the most ambitious settings of the Hymn to the Virgin Mary (Luke 1). The work fulfills all the criteria required for a larger sacred composition: grandeur, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choral movements, sensitive (empfindsam) and expressive arias, a long concluding double fugue. This richly scored Magnificat (with 3 trumpets and timp. ad. lib.), which is almost one hour in duration, would be well suited, for example, as the central work on every Christmas or pre-Christmas concert programme. Also available in carus music, the choir app! Score available separately - see item CA.3321500.
