Bach had composed his ''Christmas Oratorio'', based on the gospels of Luke and Matthew, in 1734. He had composed an ''Easter Oratorio'' already in 1725. The text for the ''Ascension Oratorio'', a compilation of several biblical sources, free poetry and chorales, was presumably written by Picander who had worked on the libretto for the ''Christmas Oratorio''. It follows the story of the Ascension as told in Luke, Mark and the Acts of the Apostles. The oratorio is structured in eleven movements in two parts, taking about half an hour to perform. It is framed by extended choral movements, Part I is concluded by the fourth stanza of Johann Rist's hymn "ドイツ語:Du Lebensfürst, Herr Jesu Christ" in a four part setting. The closing chorale on the seventh stanza of Gottfried Wilhelm Sacer's "ドイツ語:Gott fähret auf gen Himmel" is set as a chorale fantasia. The work is richly scored for the feast day, exactly like the ''Christmas Oratorio'' for four vocal parts, three trumpets, timpani, two flauti traversi, two oboes, strings and continuo. While the recitatives and the first chorale were new compositions, Bach based the other choral movements and the two arias on parts of earlier cantatas. He used the model for the alto aria again much later for the ''ドイツ語:Agnus Dei'' of his Mass in B minor. == History == Bach had composed his ''Christmas Oratorio'', based on the gospels of Luke and Matthew, in 1734, a work in six parts to be performed on six occasions during Christmas tide. He had composed an ''Easter Oratorio'' already in 1725. The ''Ascension Oratorio'' appeared thus in the same liturgical year as the ''Christmas Oratorio''.〔 The text for the ''Ascension Oratorio'', a compilation of several biblical sources, free poetry and chorales, was presumably written by Picander who had written the libretti for the ''St Matthew Passion'' and the ''Christmas Oratorio'', among others. It follows the story of the Ascension as told in Luke, Mark and the Acts of the Apostles.〔 The bible narration is compiled from multiple sources: the first recitative of the Evangelist (movement 2) is from , the second (5) from and , the third (7) from , the last (9) from , :12 and . The biblical words are narrated by the tenor as the Evangelist. In his third recitative two men are quoted, for this quotation tenor and bass both sing in an Arioso.〔〔 Part I, which tells of the Ascension, is concluded by the fourth stanza of Johann Rist's hymn "ドイツ語:Du Lebensfürst, Herr Jesu Christ" in a four part setting. Part II reflects the reaction of the disciples. The closing chorale on the seventh stanza of Gottfried Wilhelm Sacer's "ドイツ語:Gott fähret auf gen Himmel"〔 is set as a chorale fantasia. While the music for the narration and the first chorale were new compositions in 1735, Bach based the framing choral movements and the two arias on earlier compositions. He used the model for the alto aria again much later for the ''ドイツ語:Agnus Dei'' of his Mass in B minor.〔 In the first complete edition of Bach's works, the ''ドイツ語:Bach-Ausgabe'' of the ''ドイツ語:Bach Gesellschaft'', the work was included under the cantatas (hence its low BWV number), and in the ''Bach Compendium'' it is numbered BC D 9 and included under oratorios. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen, BWV 11」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
