Performances of Johann Sebastian Bach's Magnificat come in three formats: # D major version, BWV 243 with the twelve movements of that version; # D major version, with the Christmas interpolations from the earlier version BWV 243a transposed and inserted after movements 2, 5, 7 and 9. # E flat major version, BWV 243a. The difference with the previous format is not only the key signature, there are also differences in orchestration, e.g. in the earlier version flutes are not part of the tutti, so don't play in the choral movements 1, 7 and 12, and a trumpet solo in movement 10 instead of the later unison oboes. Other differences are minor, but there is for instance a slightly harsher harmony near the end of movement 4 in the earlier version. ==Versions of Bach's Magnificat== The extant autographs of Bach's Magnificat show three versions of his Magnificat: * E major version without Christmas interpolations, which is how it was probably first performed,〔Glöckner 2003〕 at least the autograph of the E major version of the Magnificat (BWV 243a) suggests that Bach intended to perform the first version of his Magnificat also without the ''laudes'', depending on circumstances, for example on other feasts than Christmas.〔Spitta 1884, p. 369 ff.〕 * E major version with Christmas interpolations, this is how Bach had the piece performed at Christmas 1723. The last measures of the fourth Christmas interpolation are however missing in the autograph. * D major version (BWV 243), this is the reworked version, without Christmas ''laudes'' Bach had performed for the first time at the Marian feast of Visitation 1733. The first of these versions (BWV 243a ''without'' Christmas additions) is not usually performed, while Bach's final version (BWV 243, also without Christmas additions) with its more elaborate orchestration is the most often programmed. The hybrid version (BWV 243, with the Christmas interpolations of BWV 243a transposed and inserted) has found performers and audiences, although BWV 243a, with a reconstructed end of the fourth interpolation, has become more of a standard for performances of the Magnificat including the Christmas interpolations. 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「Discography of Bach's Magnificat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
