Johann Sebastian Bach: I Follow With Gladness: Soprano: Vocal Work

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. / Piano

In the vocal oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach the arias scored for obbligato flute for two flutes or for oboe constitute a dazzlingly varied repertoire. Treated on an equal footing with the vocal part the obbligato parts assume solo duties in many pieces. The most demanding solo passages composed for these instruments in the 18th century are occasionally hidden in Bachs arias.The MUSICA RARA edition of Bachs collected arias presents an authentic musical text which follows the principal sources in phrasing and articulation.

Par KREBS JOHANN LUDWIG. Our Krebs is known to have been one of the best pupils of Johann Sebastian Bach, consequently we made a play on words: In this great Bach [brook] only one single Krebs [crayfish] has been caught. In his organ compositions Krebs was essentially a follower of Bach, while in his clavier and chamber music the change of musical styles which occurred about 1750 is clearly evident. Characteristic of the pre-classical period is the juxtaposition and blending of old and new stylistic elements. Thus the music of Krebs represents the new courtly and sensitive spirit of that era. The Clavier-Übung I [chorale arrangements] is the first part of the four-part Clavier-Übung by Krebs and consistsof arrangements of 13 chorales./ Répertoire / Orgue

16 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega of piano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with his little preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavieras an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music. Our volume follows these well-trodden paths but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master such as his picturesque ?Capriccioon the departure of a beloved brother?.

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.

Cantata for Whit Tuesday-Er rufet seinen Schafen mit Namen (He calleth His own sheep each by name) BWV 175Cantata for Whit TuesdayThe text of the present cantata was written by Mariane von Ziegler and was set by Bach for the third day of Whitsun in the year 1725.Bach made considerable alterations to the text when setting it. The pastorale atmosphere is created by three recorders through the inkoduction of which the opening words from the scriptures become a charming accompagnato; it is followed by an alto aria in the same orchestration - a combination that Bach uses nowhere else.- Urtext of the New BachEdition- Performance material (BA10175) vocal score (BA10175-90)
