Oh you admirable treasure
from: Glory to God in the highest, cantata for Christmas Day. Reconstruction Diethard Hellmann by Johann Sebastian Bach Organ - Sheet Music
From: Glory to God in the highest, cantata for Christmas Day. Reconstruction Diethard Hellmann. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Diethard Hellmann. Individual part. Carus Verlag #CV 31.197/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3119749).
ISBN 9790007239664. 9 x 12 inches.
Only a fragment of the score survives of Bach’s Christmas cantata "Glory to God in the hightest" BWV 197a, composed to a text from the "Picander cycle" of 1728, insufficient to allow a reconstruction of the complete cantata. The fragment begins with the end section of an aria which Bach later transferred into his wedding cantata "Rest thy faith on God the Lord" BWV 197. The movement, a lullaby of dreamlike beauty, has long been known as a particular jewel amongst Bach’s cantatas. Starting with the surviving final section from the fragmentary score together with Bach’s later revision, Diethard Hellmann has succeeded in reconstructing the original version almost in its entirety, so that this aria, "Oh you admirable treasure", can now also be performed at Christmas. / This edition is merely a reconstruction of the aria "Oh you admirable treasure" from the Christmas cantata BWV3 197.1, which has survived only incompletely. A reconstruction of the complete cantata appears under the number Carus 31.402/00. The wedding cantata BWV3 197.2, in which Bach adopted two movements from the Christmas cantata, is available under the number Carus 31.197/50.
