In the period around 1700, numerous settings of the Magnificat were performed in the main Leipzig churches. Works by composers such as J. Kuhnau and G. P. Telemann survive; however, the best-known examples are undoubtedly the Magnificat BWV 243 and 243a by J. S. Bach, the 'extra' movements for the latter which exist in Bach's own hand. Following a long-established Leipzig tradition, the vocal settings of 'Vom Himmel hoch'', ''Freut euch und jubiliert'', ''Gloria in excelsis'' and ''Virga Jesse floruit'' (known as the Kindl-Wiegen) could be inserted between the verses of the Magnificat at Christmas. Some of these are scored for festive forces. These extra movements in C major published here for the first time, and attributed to Johann Schelle, can be performed either together with a Magnificat setting in a suitable key (e.g. by Kuhnau, Telemann) or independently.
