Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2003. 31 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 033-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-033-010).
This enchanting melody is from the fourth movement of Bach’s Cantata 140 which was composed in 1731 using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as the text. The work is beautiful in its simplicity with only three melodic lines, demonstratingBach’s counterpoint at its best. For greatest effect it is suggested that the trumpets and trombones play behind the band or to the right and left of the stage.
Johann Sebastian Bach schrieb in seinem musikalisch überaus produktiven Leben unzählige Kantaten. Diese Kantate, deren Text vom Gleichnis der klugen und der törichten Jungfrauen handelt, schrieb er zum ersten Adventssonntag. Philip Sparke bearbeitete daraus den vierten Satz, in welchem sich Bachs Kontrapunkt von seiner elegantesten Seite zeigt, für Blasorchester. Das Stück besteht aus nur drei melodischen Linien, ist aber gerade in seiner Schlichtheit wunderschön.
