Description:
With the monumental chorale cantata "O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort" (BWV 20), Johann Sebastian Bach inaugurated his renowned second Leipzig cantata cycle in June 1724. Composed for the 1st Sunday after Trinity, the work unfolds a dramatic depth and sonorous magnificence that deeply moves performers and audiences alike. The richly colored instrumentation for soloists (alto, tenor, bass), mixed choir (SATB), tromba da tirarsi, three oboes, strings, and organ features virtuosic movements and a masterful opening chorus in the style of a festive French overture. This full score from the renowned Carus-Verlag provides conductors and ensembles with a first-class, critically informed, and highly readable edition for both concert and liturgical performances.
