{"product_id":"masaaki-suzuki-secular-cantatas-3-cd","title":"Masaaki Suzuki - Secular Cantatas 3 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough two of the works on this disc were composed for weddings, they are completely different in character. Weichet nur, betrubte Schatten is a charming and gracious garland of recitatives and arias for soprano solo in which Spring, Flora, Apollo and Amor are all invoked in a blessing of the newly wedded couple and their union. The Quodlibet (Latin for 'what pleases') on the other hand, is an altogether unceremonious composition which was probably intended for a private function in Bach's own circle or family. All we have is a fragment of the work - in Bach's own hand - and the beginning and ending of the piece, including the title page, are missing. It is therefore not even certain that it is Bach's own work, but may have been a collaboration between several of the wedding guests. Compositions of this kind belong to a tradition which combines quotations from songs, toasts, market traders' calls, proverbs and puns, and were especially popular at weddings - where they frequently got out of hand! The third disc in Bach Collegium Japan's series of secular cantatas also includes a birthday cantata composed in the honour of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Kethen, Bach's employer during years 1717-23. Durchlauchtster Leopold ('Most illustrious Leopold') celebrates the 'propitious day' while extolling the ruler's 'excellent attributes' and 'princely renown'. Two duets in minuet form lend the work the character of a courtly serenade, which didn't stop Bach from reusing it, with a new text, as a church cantata a few years later. The name of the recipient of Schwingt freudig euch empor, another congratulatory cantata, is no longer known, but the text tells US that he was a teacher of high standing and of an advanced age. Once again Bach, who must have been attached to the work, reused it as a church cantata, but also, with the new title Steigt freudig in die Luft, as a birthday tribute to Charlotte Friederike of Anhalt-Kethen, the wife of Prince Leopold.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Recitative: Durchlauchtster Leopold (Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Aria: Guldner Sonnen Frohe Stunden (Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Leopolds Vortrefflichkeiten (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Aria: Unter Seinem Purpursaum (Soprano, Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Recitative: Durchlauchtigster, Den Anhalt Vater Nennt (Soprano, Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Aria: So Schau Dies Holden Tages Licht (Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Aria: Dein Name Gleich Der Sonnen Geh (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurchlauchtster Leopold, Bwv 173a: Chorus: Nimm Auch, Grosser Furst, Uns Auf (Soprano, Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Aria: Weichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Recitative: Die Welt Wird Wieder Neu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Aria: Phoebus Eilt Mit Schnellen Pferden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Recitative: Drum Sucht Auch Amor Sein Vergnugen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Aria: Wenn Die Fruhlingslufte Streichen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Recitative: Und Dieses Ist Das Glucke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Aria: Sich Uben Im Lieben\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Recitative: So Sei Das Band Der Keuschen Liebe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeichet Nur, Betrubte Schatten, Bwv 202, \u0026amp;quot;Wedding Cantata\u0026amp;quot;: Aria (Gavotte): Sehet In Zufriedenheit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor (Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Recitative: Ein Herz, In Zartlichem Empfinden (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Aria: Die Liebe Fuhrt Mit Sanften Schritten (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Recitative: Du Bist Es Ja, O Hochverdienter Mann (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Aria: Der Tag, Der Dich Vordem Gebar (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Recitative: Nur Dieses Einzge Sorgen Wir (Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Aria: Auch Mit Gedampften, Schwachen Stimmen (Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Recitative: Bei Solchen Freudenvollen Stunden (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchwingt Freudig Euch Empor, Bwv 36c: Chorus And Recitative: Wie Die Jahre Sich Verneuen (Tenor, Bass, Soprano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuodlibet, Bwv 524\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7318599920412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.28.13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59581484728401,"sku":"155500","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/2263897.jpg?v=1780063649","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/masaaki-suzuki-secular-cantatas-3-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
