Summary of This Score

Johann Sebastian Bach's motets are part of the great choral literature and rank among the most studied and performed works by ensembles worldwide. This edition brings together for the first time the six motets in Urtext according to the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, in a choir format of 19 x 27 cm particularly suited for collective practice.

The volume covers emblematic pages of the sacred repertoire, offering a comprehensive overview of Bach's choral writing styles: fugal passages, double choir dialogues, more homophonic sections, and a constant articulation between textual intensity and musical architecture. It is an ideal resource for working on rhythmic precision, clarity of entrances, tuning in harmonic progressions, and diction cohesion, while developing baroque stylistic culture.

You will find, with their indicated forces, the following works: Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV 225 (SATB+SATB); Der Geist hilft unser Schwacheit auf BWV 226 (SATB+SATB); Jesu, meine Freude BWV 227 (SSATB); Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir BWV 228 (SATB+SATB); Komm, Jesu, komm BWV 229 (SATB+SATB); Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden BWV 230 (SATB). An ideal selection both for advanced choirs seeking references and for conductors wishing to build a coherent program around Bach.
