Cantata No. 118 -- O Jesu Christ, mein's Lebens Licht

O Jesus Christ My Life and Light-Although designated a Cantata this piece for SATB choir is more in the style of a motet. It is composed (and is still suitable) to be played at a funeral the text by Martin Behm being appropriate to this situation. Bach's original orchestration for the accompaniment - two Litui (high horns) Cornetto and three Trombones - is here arranged for Organ or Piano by Ifor Jones who also (with J. M. Stein) translated the text.

Arias with 1 or 2 flutes obbligato (with the complete vocal part)-Arias with 1 or 2 Flutes obbligato (with the complete vocal part).Selected movements from secular cantatas from St Matthew Passion Mass in B minor and the Lutheran Mass in A major. This volume presents for the first time all those arias from the oratorios Passions Masses and sacred and secular cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach that contain obbligato parts for one or two Flutes. The musical text has been adopted from the “ Urtext ” of the New Bach Edition. Music and words are inseparable in Bach’s works. Therefore as an aid to the interpretation of these Flute solos our richly annotated collection offers notonly Flute part but also the complete vocal part for each movement. In this way the edition not only represents a novel form of Orchestral studies it also opens up an important area of the Flute repertoire. Contents:Kantate 45. Es ist dir gesagt Mensch was gut ist.
