Magnificat in D major, BWV 243: Study score - Paperback
by Johann Sebastian Bach (Author), Richard W. Jr. Sargeant (Editor)
Bach composed the first version of this piece in 1723 using the key of E-flat major for the Christmas Vespers in Leipzig which contained several Christmas texts. Over the years he removed the Christmas-specific texts to make it suitable for year-round performance and transposied it to D major, providing better sonority for the three trumpets, which is the standard version of the work encountered today. The Magnificat is divided into twelve parts which can be grouped into three movements, each beginning with an aria and completed by the choir. The four movements from the original version have been transposed to D major and inserted in their original order for those wishing to have the omitted Christmas texts. This newly engraved study score is based upon the composer's manuscript and other authoritative sources.
