Description:
Of the three oratorios that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed as music director in Hamburg, The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus, with its magnificent trumpet and timpani sounds and grateful choral movements, is particularly designed for splendor and impact. Bach greatly appreciated the work and had it printed in 1787, the year before his death. The oratorio was performed by Mozart in Vienna the following year.
The text of the oratorio by Carl Wilhelm Ramler (1725-1798; best known as the poet of the much-set "Death of Jesus") spans the Easter story of the Emmaus disciples and the unbelieving Thomas through to the image of Jesus ascending to heaven.
The score is volume IV,2 of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Edition, published by the Packard Humanities Institute. Carus offers a piano reduction and choral score. The score and parts can also be obtained from Carus.
