巴哈為1725年復活節所寫的神劇《來,趕緊跑著來 BWV249》,其實大部分改編自早先為慶賀薩克森公爵生日所寫的世俗清唱劇,全部11曲之中,前面兩首乃是帶著協奏曲風格的純器樂演奏,後面九首才是聲樂演唱。歌詞方面則取材馬太、馬可、路加和約翰福音裡關於復活的篇章,描寫耶穌的兩個門徒聽到復活消息之後趕往墓地,見到兩位婦人告知來自天使的耶穌升天信息,因此全劇安排四位獨唱者。本片係根據巴哈1749年4月6日所演出的最終版本錄製。巴哈1735年為耶穌升天節(5月19日)所作神劇《在祂王國裡讚美上帝》
Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.
As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the “Christmas Oratorio”), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.
This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the “New Bach Edition”.
- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature
