Reviews of this publication:

* Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote his first great vocal composition,
the Magnificat, in 1749 at
the age of 35. It bears all the earmarks of “audition music”, i.e. a
piece that organists and choir
directors had to submit when applying for a new position. This
feature is especially evident in its
stylistic variety, which makes the work a rewarding and colorful
challenge for all church choirs.

Special attractions are the works contrapuntal passages, which are
very similiar in sound and
structure to those of J. S. Bach’s B minor Mass. The present
arrangement for soloists, chorus
and organ is intended as a self contained version accessible to a
wide range of choirs,
even those with limited financial means.

- Self contained version for soloists (SATB), chorus (SATB) and
organ

- Ideal for use in church and concert hall

- Clear and well presented organ part

- Duration: ca. 40 minutes

“Choral directors – do have a look at this one.”
