Description:
Experience the festive splendor of Johann Sebastian Bach's Pentecost cantata "Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten" (BWV 59) in a first-class edition by Carus-Verlag. Composed for Whit Sunday and dating back at least to Pentecost 1723, this captivating work delights with its masterful combination of Baroque magnificence and profound spirituality. Radiant trumpets and powerful timpani blend with a virtuosic solo violin, intimate solo passages for soprano and bass, and a sonorous four-part choir (SATB). These wind and brass parts (Harmoniestimmen) are reliably based on the cantata's first version, providing instrumentalists and choirs with the ideal foundation for an inspiring, stylistically informed performance. An indispensable edition for festive Pentecost services and ambitious sacred concerts!
