Bach for All Seasons
"Bach For All Seasons" represents a sampling of Bach's choral music that can be performed seasonally in concert programs or selected for worship in church settings throughout the year. More than 35 choral works are featured from Bach's larger cantatas, as well as his "Magnificat," the "Mass In B Minor," and the great Passions. Appearing alongside larger movements is a variety of harmonized chorale melodies that typify the style and tradition in which Bach worked. From the simplest chorale settings to the magnificent Dona Nobis Pacem from the "B Minor Mass," these wonderful editions include the original German and Latin texts along with practical English translations. A cappella chorales contrast with stellar Baroque keyboard accompaniments for the more accomplished musician. The companion recording highlights 16 of the selections, with ideas for programming that include obbligato soli and alternative continuo instrumentation. Carefully selected and handsomely engraved, this collection is at once a superlative resource for choral musicians and an excellent means of exposing future generations to the genius that is Bach's alone
