It was not only the musicians of the 16th and 17th centuries who – for liturgical reasons – regularly presented settings of the penitential psalm 50 (51). Even in later times, composers occasionally cultivated this tradition, for example, the "Bückeburger" Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach with his 12-movement composition dated around 1770 which was only discovered in 1975. Bach’s Miserere, held almost exclusively in flat keys, consists of a balanced alternation of choral and solo sections. One common stylistic feature of all the sections is, in particular, the lavishly used "empfindsam" suspensions and small ornamental notes. As an example of the pre-Classical era, the composition is well suited for programmes featuring fast and penance compositions from several epochs.
