- Arrangement: Vocal Score
The Easter Oratorio BWV 249 was first performed on Easter Sunday 1725 with the text “Kommt, eilet und laufet”. In the counting of the new BWV, this is already BWV 249.3, following two congratulatory cantatas as early forms of the oratorio. As a “drama per musica”, this version still had explicit role assignments for the characters Maria Jacobi (Soprano), Maria Magdalena (Alto), Petrus (Tenore) and Johannes (Basso), which were later no longer used by Bach.
For the 1738 revival (BWV 249.4), Bach wrote an autograph score based on the part set from 1725. The movement [3.] after the instrumental prelude is a duet between tenor and bass here, as in BWV 249.3. In the 1740s, Bach revised the vocal parts and individual instrumental parts (BWV 249.5), turning movement [3.] into a four-part opening chorus. In this version, the work is generally known today as the “Easter Oratorio”.
With the edition by David Erler, the final version is available as an Urtext edition with complete performance material for the first time. In addition, the performance of the version BWV 249.4 is made possible by notes in the course of the score and an appendix with deviating movements; the preface and critical report provide comprehensive information on this. The edition thus meets the highest standards of “Urtext for practice”.
