Bach's Motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf (The Spirit gives aid to our weakness) BWV 226 was composed in 1729. The Motet was written for the funeral of the blessed rector Ernesti, Professor of poetry at Leipzig University. It is written for eight voices of two four-part choirs. Mr. Sauer has done a magnificent job transcribing all six of Bach's choral motets BWV 225-230 for 8-part Trombone Ensemble. This is a major undertaking. All are very worthy additions to the Trombone Ensemble repertoire. This work for double 4-part choir of three movements is about 7 1/2 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers. The top voices in each choir have parts supplied in both alto and tenor clef.
