Bach, J.S., Now my soul exalts the Lord BWV 10 -Cantata for the Feast of Visitation B. V. M.- [Bar:BA10010-90]

Editor: Wolf, Uwe
With Preface by: Bulgrin, Anna-Lena

 With his cantata “Meine Seel erhebt den Herren” which Bach composed for the Visitation of Mary (2 July), he created a Magnificat setting of a different kind: The German text source is a combination of biblical text and a free interpretation, the basis being the Marian hymn of praise from the Gospel according to Luke. The 9th psalm tone acts as the chorale melody and becomes a recurring musical theme. With a small scoring of one trumpet (which if need be can be omitted), two oboes, strings and basso continuo along with four soloists and choir, Bach succeeds in writing a festive music of 20-25 minutes.  This performing edition is based on the Urtext of the “New Bach Edition”. - Festive cantata based on the Urtext of the “New Bach Edition” - With a duration of 20-25 minutes
