BWV243 / BWV243a Magnificat

Magnificat BWV243 and BWV243a by Johann Sebastian Bach is set for five part choir (Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto, Tenor and Bass), and five soloists (Soprano 1 and 2, Alto Tenor and Bass). We provide rehearsal aids for both choir and soloists.

Magnificat in D (BWV243) is the most popular of the two versions. The E flat major version (BWV243a) has all the same movements as the D major with an additional four sections or interpolations intended for use at Christmas. With reference to these four sections, the Kalmus edition states that these are supposed to be sung by soloists and not the regular choir, however in practice three of them are often sung by the choir, probably more so than by soloists. Our recordings cover both options. The four additional sections are generally published after the Magnificat, and that is how we present our recordings.

The BWV243a sections are only in the E flat version have been transposed to fit with this D major recording for the Magnificat.
Vom Himmel hoch is usually sung unaccompanied, - because a continuo is published and sometimes used it has been used for our recording.
