Carus Verlag Sanctus D Major BWV 238 - Bach/Graulich/Horn - Full Score, SATB
Additional Photos:
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Gunter Graulich
Continuo Realisation: Paul Horn
Format: Book
Version: Full Score, SATB
On high feast days during Bach's time, settings of Latin prayers and other texts could be heard at Sunday service in Leipzig: Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus in the morning and the Magnificat in the afternoon. Although many of these were existing repertoire pieces, Bach also made his own settings from his earliest days as Thomascantor, such as the Sanctus in D (BWV 238), presumably composed for Christmas Day in 1723. Here he dispenses with a large ensemble, only adding an obbligato violin as the fifth voice to the four-part choral movement. The remaining strings follow the lower choral voices, while the soprano is augmented by a cornett, although today an alternative wind instrument can also be used to support the choir as Bach intended. As usual, the Sanctus is divided into two parts (Sanctus and Pleni), both of which take the form of choral fugues.
