Johann Sebastian Bach: Sämtliche Kantaten, Motetten, Choräle und<br>
Geistliche Lieder<br>
 The complete cantatas, chorales and motets in study editions in 19 volumes.  This special edition exclusively offers the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards.  It is well presented on high quality paper and has a durable sewn  binding. A MUST for everyone who is passionate about  Bach´s music!  No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is  hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at  least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for  numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations, school and university  celebrations and  royal birthdays.<br>
 <br>
Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred  and secular works exist and  form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical  heritage is still as  relevant today as it was then.<br>

Bärenreiter‘s  unique edition, which encompasses more than 11,000 pages, includes all  cantatas  together with the motets, chorales and sacred songs in the  Urtext  of the ‘New Bach Edition’  (NBA Series I and III). As a special extra, the recently rediscovered aria ‘  Alles   mit   Gott  und  nichts   ohn ’  ihn ’ is also included. Only available here is an additional  volume with an introduction  (German/English) by  Christoph  Wolff and an index.<br>
