Description:
Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) composed his chorale CANTATA No. 140, WACHET AUF, RUFT UNS DIE STIMME (Awake, calls the voice to us), BWV 140, also known as SLEEPERS AWAKE, for the 27th Sunday after Trinity, and it was first performed at Thomaskirche in Leipzig on November 25, 1731. Considered to be one of his most mature and popular sacred cantatas, the seven-movement work sets to music the three-stanza hymn "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" by Philipp Nicolai, which addresses the prescribed reading for that Sunday, the parable of the Ten Virgins, while an anonymous author supplies additional text based on the love poetry of the Song of Songs for the middle movements. This edition by Wilhelm Rust was published as part of the Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe (Bach Society Edition) collection. Instrumentation: 0.2+EH.0.0: 1(ETpt alt for Hn included).0.0.0: Org.Hpchrd: Str (2-2-2-1-1 in set): Soli STB: Mixed SATB Chor.
