Johann Sebastian Bach: First Lessons In Bach - Book 1

Based on Johann Sebastian Bach. First edition-In early 1729 Bach became director of the so-called »Scottish Collegium Musician« a music organization of students and local citizens. The remarkable results of this undertaking are the concertos for harpsichord. Today it is almost certain that practically all of these concertos were transcribed from concertos for melody instruments (mostly violin or oboe).When Johann Sebastian Bach created his six-part corpus of harpsichord concertos in 1738 (BWV 1052-1057) he gave pride of place to the Concerto in D minor BWV 1052. It has long been thought for good reasons that this piece was based on a lost violin concerto in the same key that he had already transcribed on twoprevious occasions.The second 'forerunner' of BWV 1052 is the present harpsichord concerto. It was first published by Wilhelm Rust in volume 17 of the old Bach Society Gesamtausgabe (1869) and given the number BWV 1052a in the Schmieder catalogue. Rust felt that Johann Sebastian Bach himself wrote out the principal source a set of orchestral parts preserved in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek under the shelf mark Mus. ms. St 350 and therefore treated the piece as an authentic early version of BWV 1052. Today however we know that the scribe was Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach who is generally also regarded as the work's author.Urtext of the New Bach EditionParts (BA5231) two-keyboard reduction (BA5231-90) and study score (TP410) format 22.5 x 16.5cm (all 6 concertos) available for sale

The Parallel German-English Texts with Annotations-The major choral works by Johann Sebastian Bach-the Christmas Easter and Ascension Oratorios and the St. Matthew St. Mark and St. John Passions-stand as the most frequently-performed and penetratingly discussed of the genre. Renowned Bach scholar Michael Marissen has assembled a compact well-designed and ideally useful treatment of Bach's oratorios providing the full German texts with literal English translations and copious annotations. He provides strict literal translations of these texts with citations from the Luther Bible as it was known in Bach's day along side extensive footnotes that provide information addressing the interests and concerns of today's Bachcommunity. These are the first translations of the librettos from Bach's oratorios to accommodate the many sense-clarifying allusions to the readings of the Luther Bibles in Bach's day to explore from historical dictionaries the meanings of previously unnoticed archaic usages and to contrast relevant findings from modern biblical scholarship. Marissen's insights are particularly helpful his thoroughness is impressive and the book will be a longstanding definitive and essential reference for choral directors performers audience members and Bach scholars alike.

A Chorale arranged for 15 Instruments. Full Score for ensemble.Bach's Befichl du deine Wege is a chorale setting (BWV 272) which Hans Abrahamsen has arranged for fifteen instruments. In Hans Albrahamsen's adaptation Bachs chorale gradually ernerges from two melodic fragments both borrowed from the Danish composer Poul Ruders' Four Dances in One Movernent'. In fact both fragments are taken from the last three bars of Ruders' composition. One of Ruders' small melodies is descending the other is ascending. The metamorphosis from Ruders to Bach can be accomplished because both of Ruders' melodic fragments are in fact 'hidden' among the parts of this Bach choraleinasmuch as the composer has transposed it into B minor. In the first verse we hear only the descending Ruders melody. In the secend verse Ruders' second ascending and chrornatically coloured melody is added. In the subsequent verses more and more melodies are added. Thus the piece begins with Poul Ruders' melodic fragment in the foreground. In the course of the next verse Ruders' material gradually recedes into the background and permits Bachs face to ernerge with increasing clarty in the foreground. The piece is dedicated to Poul Ruders.             - Thomas MichelsenArrangement1 Flute1 Oboe1 Clarinet In Bb1 Bassoon1 Horn in F1 Trumpet in Bb1 Trombone (Tenor)1 Vibraphone (Motor Off)1 Harp1 Piano1 Violin I1 Violin II1 Viola1 Cello1 Double Bass

Organ Chorales from the Neumeister Collection-Organ Chorales from the Neumeister CollectionYale University Manuscript 'LM 4708'In 1985 Christoph Wolff working at Yale University discovered a collection of 82 chorales compiled by Johann Gottfried Neumeister (1756-1840) which contained 38 compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. They reveal great stylistic variety whose forebears stem from the Northern German organ tradition. Already these early works comprising fantasias fugues fughettas and imitative techniques employing motifs from chorale melodies bear witness to Bach?s broad compositional spectrum.This newly published volume is an updated edition of Series IV/9 of the ?New Bach Edition? (NBA) edited by Christoph Wolff and based on this source.In addition to a newly added concordance and corrections to the musical text it also contains a detailed Foreword by Christoph Wolff with further information on the Neumeister Collection and hymnological details.

Between 1717 and 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach composed Six Suites for Violoncello (BWV 1007 ??? BWV 1012). Of these the first three have been transcribed for bass guitar in this coursebook which in itself is a considerable amount of work. Between 1717 and 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach composed Six Suites for Violoncello (BWV1007-BWV1012). Of these the first three have been transcribed for Bass Guitar in this coursebook which in itself is a considerable amount of work. For bassists these compositions are a real challenge - a challenge however that brings with it a lot of benefits. Because once you get to know them you get hooked on them and by playing them you'll be able to considerably refine your playing technique. But believe me the pieces are so gripping that you'll barely notice the effort. Every suite presented in this coursebook comprises six movements. The first of these isalways a prelude followed by five dances. The CD attached to the coursebook presents every single one of the 18 movements in its full length in order to help you interpret them flawlessly.

Johann Sebastian Bach Volume I. This monumental study of Johann Sebastian Bach ranks among the great classics of musicology. Since its first publication in 1873-80, it has remained the basic work on Bach and the foundation of later research and study. The three-part treatment describes in chronological sequence practically everything that is known of the composer's life: his ancestry, his immediate family, his associations, his employers, and the countless occasions on which his musical genius emerged. Author Philipp Spitta accompanies this biographical material with quotations from primary sources: correspondence, family records, diaries, official documents, and more. In addition to biographical data, Spitta reviews Bach's musical production, with analyses of more than 500 pieces, covering all the important works. More than 450 musical excerpts are included in the main text, and a 43-page musical supplement illustrates longer passages. Despite the scholarly nature of this work, it also has the rare distinction of being a study that can be read with considerable enjoyment and great profit by every serious music lover, with or without a substantial background in the history of music or musical theory.

This edition complements the volume of Keyboard Works of Doubtful Authenticity (BA 5250).It contains works which have survived bearing Johann Sebastian Bach?s name or were later attributed to Bach but where Bach has been ruled out as composer in the opinion of the editors on stylistic grounds or following a critical examination of the sources. But having said that it is hard to be negative about these compositions which are of a consistently high quality. Furthermore this is largely unknown repertoire; almost half of the pieces in the volume are previously unpublished. As a result this edition invites curious and open-minded musicians on avoyage of discovery.- Critical edition based on the guidelines of the ?New Bach Edition?.- Largely unknown repertoire with several works published as first editions.- Foreword (Ger/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Ger/Eng).Contents:PrefaceSarabande g-Moll BWV 839Fuge a-Moll BWV 897/2Präludium und Fuge B-Dur über den Namen Bach BWV 898Fantasie g-Moll BWV 920Fuge e-Moll BWV 945Fue e-Moll BWV 960 (Fragment)Suite F-Dur BWV Anh. 80Gigue G-Dur Anh. 81Fantasie c-Moll BWV ANh. 86Fantasie C-Dur BWV Anh. 87: Erste Fassung / First Version Zweite Fassung / Second versionFuge C-Dur BWV Anh. 89Fuge e-Moll BWV Anh. 95Fuga G-Dur BWV Anh. 91Fuga e-Moll BWV Anh. 93Fuge G-Dur BWV Anh. 92Fuge D-Dur BWV Anh. 96Fuge d-Moll BWV Anh. 98Fuge d-Moll BWV Anh. 99Fuge d-Moll BWV Anh. 100Fuge d-Moll BWV Anh. 100 - Variante / Alternative versionFuge es-Moll BWV Anh. 102Drei Fugen über B A C H:1.
