Bach's Christmas Oratorio, unlike the genre “Oratorium” suggests, was not intended for a performance in context, but as a cycle of six individual works that were to be played in the services of the Christmas period as “main music” instead of the cantata. The oratorio was created in 1734. The six parts were, as a preserved text, noted on the three Christmas holidays of the same year and onNew Year's Day, Sunday after New Year (January 2) and Epiphany (17 January 1735) in the Leipzig Main Church St. Nicolai presented, parts I, II, IV and VI also in the Thomaskirche. Probably Bach, if not the whole, so at least parts of the oratorio in later years performed again, but missing on this the news.
In the century and a half since its rediscovery to the public, the Christmas Oratorio has only found its way back to the services ofthe Christmas Circle in exceptional cases; its proper place has long been the public concert, where it is usually performed in a condensed form, occasionally even in double sessions. By far the most widespread form of performance is that of the performance of Parts I-III, which, in terms of content, focus on the actual Christmas scene as well as formally, with their important conclusion inthe key and in the radiant orchestration of the entrance choir, a closed and rounded whole.
The present complete edition of the Christmas Oratorio is an extension of the Edition of 1999, limited to Parts I-III. The musical text of Parts I-III has been reproduced unchanged, except for individual corrections.
With more than 1,200 titles from orchestral and choral literature, chamber music and music theater, Edition Eulenburg is the largest

Description: Contents: Chromatic Fantasy And Fugue In D Minor, BWV 903 • Italian Concerto In F Major, BWV 971 • Fantasy In C Minor, BWV 906 • Fantasy and Fugue In A Minor, BWV 944
Description: Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903 and 903a is one of his most fascinating works. It was apparently already greatly admired during his lifetime, for it survives in numerous copies which present some occasionally very different versions, especially in the Fantasy. Bach seems to have revised it several times; since there is no extant autograph, one of these divergent versions of the Fantasy has been reproduced in the Appendix of the Henle Urtext edition.
Description: Some teachers and pianists prefer a clean musical source. Henle has released these new versions of Urtext Editions without fingering to accommodate that. The normal Urtext Editions with fingering also remain available.

Description: A fascinating anthology of the great solo piano versions of J.S. Bach's most beloved works. 26 transcriptions by celebrated pianist/composers including Brahms, Liszt, Busoni, Rachmaninoff and others.
Description: It is hard to go wrong with Bach's Prelude in C major. Tim Sharp uses the harmony from that famous Bach piece to create a new melody that is presented in a homophonic hymn-style. He pulls the text from Matthew 25:34-45 (“For I was hungry and you gave me...”). The second time around we get to enjoy the original Bach rendition under the choir. Together it brings us a very satisfying and encouraging anthem appropriate for Lent, Communion, or any service of worship about caring. Easy to Medium.
Description: “As one of the most famous contributors to classical music ever to have lived, Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) catalogue is extensive. Moreover, being an organist himself, his Organ works are significant and remain ever-popular to this day. When French organist, Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) compiled the series of Bach's Complete Organ Works, it was well-received, and to this day remains popular with all organists. The fourth volume includes a favoured selection of Bach's four concertos, two trios and his Diverse Pieces. In addition, Dupré's annotations in Complete Organ Works comprise fingerings, rules on technique and instructions on ornamentation, among other aspects. This compilation of J. S. Bach's most loved compositions for the Organ cannot be missed by aspiring performers of the instrument.”
