Johann Sebastian Bach

The complete motets (with basso continuo)

Johann Sebastian Bach's motets are rightly regarded as one of, if not THE pinnacle of sophisticated a cappella literature. They not only unfold a kaleidoscope of compositional possibilities, but have always been notorious for their diverse technical, vocal and intonational difficulties. Here, every choir can show what it is made of. It's worth practicing! / Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to individually rehearse their choir voice in the overall sound of choir and instruments. A separate audio CD (or MP3 files) with all choral parts is available for each voice part. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recordings by renowned interpreters who have performed from the carefully prepared Carus Urtext edition. The choral movements are available in three versions: 1) original recording, 2) Coach: each part is played along on the piano, original recording in the background, 3) Coach in slow mode: complicated parts can be practiced effectively by reducing the tempo of the Coach to 70% of the original. / Performers: Kammerchor Stuttgart - Frieder Bernius.
