Arragement for soli, choir and organ. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Carsten Klomp. Bach, Johann Sebastian: Christmas Oratorio, Part I: For the First Day of Christmas. Single Part, organ. Composed 1734 (Originalkomposition). BWV 248. Duration 25 minutes. Carus Verlag #3135210. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3135211).ISBN 9790007780203. German/English.
For this edition, Carsten Klomp has transferred the orchestral movement of the 1st cantata from Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio to the organ. It not only enables a performance with a reduced line-up, but also a tonally appealing and surprisingly coherent rendition of this wonderful music. The way the voices are distributed on the manuals and pedal and the balance between virtuosity and good playability ensure both proximity to the original score and an organ-appropriate implementation. Instead of a simple piano reduction on the organ, this version offers an independent performance option that allows the organ to be used in all of its facets and possibilities.
The vocal parts (solos and choir) are identical to the edition of the original version (Carus 31.248/00), so that the piano reduction and choral score can be used.
