The St Matthew Passion (German: Mattheus-Passion), BWV 244, is a Passion,
  a sacred oratorio written by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1727 for solo voices,
  double choir and double orchestra, with libretto by Picander. It sets
  chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of Matthew (in the Luther Bible) to music,
  with interspersed chorales and arias. It is widely regarded as one of the
  masterpieces of classical sacred music. The original Latin title Passio
  Domini nostri J.C. secundum Evangelistam Matthum translates to "The
  Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the Evangelist Matthew
  Originally for alto voice, violin solo and string orchestra. In this
  arrangement the alto solo part was written for violoncello solo. 
    
    
    
    The arias are in da capo format (ternary form). "Erbarme dich",
  for alto, and "Mache dich, mein Herze, rein", for bass, are
  examples of such arias in Part Two of the oratorio. In these movements the
  singers are accompanied by one or a few solo instruments and continuo,
  occasionally completed by other instrument groups of the orchestra.

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

First published in 1835, the Southern Harmony and Musical Companion was one of the most popular tunebooks ever published. Taken from this collection, Bozrah comes to life once again in this moving and dramatic arrangement in E minor. All parts stay in first position except for a few brief moments for bass.

Copyright Year

The Sacred Harp singing tradition is a uniquely American genre that dates back to late 18th-century New England and flourished in the South. It is designed to be performed by those who do not have any formal training and thus utilizes shape-note notation. Participants often speak of the emotional impact of performing these works and attend special conferences devoted to Sacred Harp singing. The source material for this arrangement comes from The Southern Harmony, by William Walker, and The Colored Sacred Harp, a work written by African Americans for use in Black churches, mainly in the South. This work provides an opportunity to work on ensemble skills, bow technique, and intonation in an interesting and historically relevant work.

Your developing strings will soar to new heights of expression when they play this excellent arrangement!  The beloved melody will especially be received warmly by your audience, simply because the arranger has treated it with such tender care. Lovely!

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

Series

Rooted in expressions of both suffering and hope, the African-American spiritual brings depth and richness to the body of American folk music.  Beginning with a prayerful statement of the opening text, and then moving to a swing-style treatment of the music, this arrangement spreads a message of optimism, patience and perseverance.  Syncopation, jazz and swing articulations, and bow styles are all there and well articulated for your players.  Very nice!

  harmonies, embellishments, and textures presenting a pleasant balance of old
  and new. This piece will be appropriate for special music or as an offertory.

I Know Whom I Have Believed

Cantata No. 95 Christus, der is mein Leben

Thomas Quigley

An imaginative version! Some of the canonic texture is retained with added interest in the use of counter-motifs and attractive harmonies. At times serene, then joyous, the uplifting ending is exquisite. Suitable for middle grade orchestras, this is a fine piece, which can be used in a Church or concert setting. Highly effective!

Tallis' Canon

Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers

This partita for String Ensemble is based on the tune HERZLICH TUT MICH
  VERLANGEN by Renaissance composer Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), which is sung
  to the Lenten hymn "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded." Chorale settings
  frame this six-movement work while the inner movements employ doleful
  ostinatos, a quasi-canon, and a bicinium that turns into a trio at the
  cadences. With anguished and unconventional harmonies, the work begins
  fortissimo on a second inversion of an F major seventh chord and ends pianissimo
  eight minutes later on an A major chord. Originally composed for organ, this
  partita works well for strings and in the context of worship is particularly
  suited for Lent, Holy Week, or communion services. The print version provides
  enough parts for a full string orchestra. A version for a smaller string
  ensemble is also available as is a compatible edition for Woodwind Quintet
  (S0.112805) and an edition for String Quartet (S0.1195113). For more music

Motet No. 3, Jesu, Meine Freude, BWV 227

Cantata No. 49 Sinfonia in E

Cantata No. 43 Gott faehret auf mit Jauchzen

Imagine Music Publishing

Adore Te Devote is an old French church tune, listed in the Processionale in 1697. This arrangement is a four-part, or voice, fugue. As the subject is repeated in the successive voices, the preceding voice(s) branch away into harmonic supporting patterns. A double fugue such as this utilizes two musical subjects instead of just one, which are then developed. The composer uses original musical patterns to weave a tapestry of new material. The development section moves back and forth between major and minor modes, leading to a recapitulation in which the original subjects are reintroduced and the piece is brought to a close.
