3 Chorales Passiontide. Johann Sebastian Bach. Voice sheet music. A Cappella sheet music.

Original

3 Passiontide Chorales composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. 1685-1750. For SATB choir a cappella. Liturgical Use. Holy Week. Text. English. Choral. Vocal score. Text Language. Latin. Duration ca. 12 minutes. Published by Notre Dame Choir Editions. PE.NDC041. With Text Language. Latin. Choral. Bach's 4-part chorale harmonizations have been admired and studied as models for beginners in composition ever since they were first collected and published in 1765 by his son, Philipp Emanuel. It is sometimes forgotten that the essence of Bach's musical art is contained in the expressive harmonies and ingenious voce-leading of his chorale settings. In this set of well-known passiontide hymn texts, each separate verse is set to a different Bach harmonization aptly chosen to dramatize the poems and create a satisfying motet-like musical result. O Sacred Head Surrounded. Ah, Holy Jesus. Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bonds.
