Bach, J S - Motet No.1: Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied (BWV 225) (Urtext).

In Bach’s voluminous output of music the motets form a small group of modest proportions, particularly as compared to the 200 or so surviving cantatas. In historical perspective, however, the corpus of motets is especially distinguished, being the only part of Bach’s vocal œuvre whose post-1750 tradition has remained unbroken to the present day.
