Johann Sebastian Bach: St. Matthew Passion: SSA: Part

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

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach transcriptions have always been popular for the musical brilliance of the Baroque master opens up a vast field, for composers and performers. Even the pianist and composer Emile Naoumoff who began his career at the age of 8, composed a piano concerto at the age of 10 and played it under the direction of Yehudi Menuhin is an expert and great admirer of Bach's music. The present edition contains no virtuoso 'fireworks music' but unites three slow, meditative pieces: 'O Mensch bewein dein Sünde groß' (Orgelbüchlein), the aria 'Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben' (St. Matthew's Passion), and the arioso 'Betrachte, meine Seel', mit ängstlichem Vergnügen' (St. John's Passion), demanding from the performer the pianistic realisation of subtle polyphony and the development of a very refined sound./ Recueil / Piano

Autograph: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz-?I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.?(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy)Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach?s ?St Matthew Passion?. Originally composed for Vespers on Good Friday and even longer in duration than the ?St John Passion? it reconstructs the story of Christ?s Passion with immense musical emotional and spiritual intensity.And so this monumental and complex composition has come to rank amongst the high points of Western culture.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Here Yet Awhile from 'St. Matthew Passion' for SSAATTBB choir with Piano or Organ accompaniment. Edited by H. W. Nicholl.

Study score format 22.5 x 16.5cmBach???s Christmas Oratorio composed in 1734 narrates the story of the birth of Jesus in a cycle of six cantatas with a text probably by Christian Friedrich Henrici (known as Picander) who provided several libretti for Bach during his Leipzig period.Like the St. Matthew and St. John Passions the Christmas Oratorio is narrated by an Evangelist and includes devices from Italian opera such as the recitative and aria. It was written to be performed during the thirteen days of Christmas of the Lutheran Church calendar (25 December 6 January) allowing the wondrous story of theGospel to gradually unfold.- Full score and performance material (BA5014) vocal score (BA5014-90) and study score (TP85) available for sale.- Urtext of the New Bach Edition.

Attractive alternative to the well-known St. Matthew PassionUrtext from the “New Bach Edition”Straightforward and easy-to-play piano reduction in the vocal scoreUnique to the market Bach’s St. Matthew Passion as we know it today evidently had a long history dating back before 1727. It is unclear whether the work performed at the Thomaskirche on Good Friday 1729 was based on a still earlier version. Whatever the case the surviving version of 1729 presents the work in a form strikingly different from its later incarnation. For example the opening section ends with the chorale “ Jesum lass ich nicht von mir ”which was replaced by the large-scale cantus firmus chorus “O Mensch bewein dein Sünde gross” for the 1736 performance. The well-known alto aria “Ach! nun ist mein Jesus hin ” is still assigned to a bass in the earlier version and the aria “ Komm süsses Kreuz ” calls for a lute instead of the later viola da gamba. Moreover the pieces for double chorus only require a single continuo group. Other differences can be found in the instrumental scoring and voice-leading. The early version of the St. Matthew Passion is thus a most interesting addition to the great concert repertoire. The corresponding volume of the “New Bach Edition” (series II/volume 5b) serves as a conducting score (BA5099-01).

2. Choir Viola-Version of 1736 (final version)Bach’s St. Matthew Passion passed through several stages in its progress towards its final form stages that today cannot be completely reconstructed. It may be taken as certain that the work was performed on Good Friday 1729 in St. Thomas’s Church Leipzig in a version of which the copy made by Bach’s son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnickol gives us an approximate idea. There is no earlier extant autograph score than that of the later version which may probably be dated 1736 and on which the present edition is based.- Study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm- Urtext of the New Bach Edition-Full score performance material (BA5038) vocal score (BA5038-90) and study score (TP196) available for sale
