About this arrangement

Basso (cello/double bass) (solos: STB - choir: SSATB - 0.0.0.1 - 2(corn).0.3.0 - str - bc) SKU: BR.OB-32091-26 Cantata based on Psalm 103 – Urtext. Composed by Johann Kuhnau. Edited by David Erler. Chorus. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library). Baroque/Cantata. Indvidual part. Duration 15'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 32091-26. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-32091-26). ISBN 9790004351260. 10 x 12.5 inches.The date of composition of the cantata Lobe den Herren, meine Seele can only be conjectured. However, several indications suggest an early composition, possibly during Kuhnau’s stay in Zittau. The work is one of only two known cantatas by Kuhnau in which cornetti are scored – the second work is the cantata Christ lag in Todes-Banden (PB 32034) –, even so in combination with three trombones as an early baroque wind section. In addition, the musical texture of the introductory "Sonata" can certainly be understood as a reminiscence of the polychorality known from the Renaissance and early Baroque as well as their connection with the basso continuo era, since four strings and bassoon on the one side and five wind instruments on the other side face each other over a continuous continuo part. The text of the cantata is a selection of a few verses from Psalm 103. This is the larger scored cantata with this textual basis; parallel to it exists a smaller scored one for alto, bass, violin, oboe d’amore and continuo.
