Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Instrumentation: SATB Choir, Chamber Orchestra Work: Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen (Birthday Cantata), BWV 213 Binding: Work Languages: French, German ISMN: 9790004173640 Size: 7.5 x 10.6 inches Pages: 60 Urtext / Critical Edition PDF Preview Description In this new edition of this often performed work, many details pertaining to performance-practical matters have been revised. It is known that Bach reused the music of Cantata BWV 213 in his Christmas Oratorio and, as Hans Grüss convincingly explains, paid close attention to the preparation of the performance material in light of the repeated use of the new work. "The final version of the cantata is recognizable in the parts of the Christmas Oratorio", states Grüss. The specifics of the later revision can thus be retraced. They have also entailed a number of editorial consequences which cast a new light on the Cantata BWV 213.
