Susanne RohnAbout
Most of them are hardly known today like Tobias Michael, Sebastian Knüpfer, Johann Schelle or Johann Kuhnau. These four composers were the immediate predecessors of the most famous Thomaskantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, and all of them also created wonderful music.
One sacred concerto each on “Machet die Tore weit” by Johann Schelle and Tobias Michael opens the programme. The most splendid and extensive composition is Sebastian Knüpfer’s Dies est laetitiae for 22 voices, divided into a five-part trumpet choir with timpani, strings, bassoon, three flutes, six soloists and a four-part choir.
The only composer on this CD who was not Thomaskantor is Johann Caspar Horn. His composition Es begab sich aber zu der Zeit, a setting of the well-known Christmas text from the Gospel of Luke, has been documented to have been performed in St Thomas’s Church.
