Summary of This Score
Cantata for the 3rd Sunday after Trinity is presented here as a study score within the Bärenreiter Studienpartituren series, in an Urtext edition. Designed for musicians, choir conductors, composition and analysis students, this study score emphasizes readability and understanding of the musical structure: distribution of parts, choir/orchestra balance, and articulation between movements.
The volume includes editorial apparatus with Vorwort / Preface and Zur Edition / Editorial Note, useful for situating editorial choices and the approach to the text. The cantata unfolds in 11 movements alternating sinfonia, choruses, recitatives, and arias (including a duet), offering a variety of characters and vocal writing: 1. Sinfonia ; 2. Chorus: Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis ; 3. Aria: Seufzer, Tränen, Kummer, Not ; 4. Recitativo: Wie hast du dich, mein Gott ; 5. Aria: Bäche von gesalznen Zähren ; 6. Chorus: Was betrübst du dich, meine Seele ; 7. Recitativo: Ach Jesu, meine Ruh ; 8. Aria Duetto: Komm, mein Jesu, und erquicke ; 9. Chorus: Sei nun wieder zufrieden ; 10. Aria: Erfreue dich, Seele ; 11. Chorus: Das Lamm, das erwürget ist.
Thanks to its rich forces (soloists, SATB choir, winds, strings, continuo, brass, and timpani), this score provides a solid resource for working on orchestration, voice leading, and the overall architecture of a large cantata. Its paperbound binding makes it easy to carry and consult at the conductor's stand, in the library, or in the classroom.
