The opening chorus of the cantata Schauet doch und sehet (Look ye then and see now) is one of those movements by Bach which are much better known in their later guise: the first part of it became the Qui tollis of the Mass in B minor. But this movement is not the only high point of the cantata from Bach's earliest Leipzig period. Both the arias are also unusual: a bass aria depicting God's anger dramatically as a thundering storm, with strings and slide trumpet, which gives the movement a very special colour through its unexpected notes beyond the instrument's natural series, and an alto aria with two recorders, accompanied by just two oboi da caccia in unison, which take the role of the continuo as little basset instruments. Music almost not of this world! New revised edition. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3104600.

In 1724, Bach composed the cantata Herr, wie du willt, so schicks mit mir [Lord, as you will, do unto me] BWV 73 for the third Epiphany Sunday. Like in some other cantatas from the first annual cycle, the opening movement contains a part for corno which would in fact have been unplayable on an instrument of that era - probably also a reason why Bach allocated this part to the organ in a repeat performance (both variants can be performed using the Carus edition). The unusual choral movement, interrupted by recitatives, is based quite substantially on a short four-note motive which is introduced by the horn; at the end of the chorus, the choir sings it to the words Herr, wie du willt [Lord, as you will] - an avowal which also quite substantially characterizes other movements of the cantata. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3107300.

Bach chose an unconventional beginning for his nine-movement cantata Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind BWV 153, which he composed in his first year as Kantor of St. Thomas's for the Sunday after New Year 1724. Instead of the usual opening chorus, the cantata opens with a simple four-part chorale movement. There are also chorales in the middle of the work (movement 5) and at the end. By avoiding extended or demanding choral movements, Bach probably wanted to save the voices of his choir members at St Thomas's, who had just been involved in a demanding week of almost constant singing. This may also be why the cantata uses just three soloists (alto, tenor, bass). In the arias, each preceded by a secco recitative, the accompaniment is provided by 2 violins and viola. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3115300.

World Library Publications' presentation of The Clown of God is a contemporary retelling of the French legend of a juggler who offers the Christ Child the only gift he has‚Äîhis talent. The engaging performance presented here was filmed on location at St. William Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians convention in July 2003. Set to an original score by Peter Fisher Hesed and Thomas Kavanaugh, with narrator text by Tomie dePaola, The Clown of God is the story of the adventures of Giovanni, a poor boy whose ability to entertain brings him renown. Through the use of mime, simple settings and costumes, and an orchestra and chorus, the people he meets on his journey through the years come alive. The message is that God‚ love is simple, straightforward, and more powerful than we ever expect. Rarely is a presentation as deeply moving as this simple fable of a clown who gives the best of himself. The Clown of God is ideal viewing for religious education classes, youth groups, music and drama programs, and parish gatherings. Or, use this video presentation and the companion orchestral or small ensemble score to inspire a live performance in your own community. Any audience would want to share this touching story of a simple soul who reaches the heart of God. VHS, 40 minutes.
