The urtext edition of the publishers Sebastian Schilling and Nico Nebe represents the source finding in a modern score in a so far unique way.
The representation of the voices occurs without bar lines and punctuation and corresponds with the original spelling.
So this will allow you to perform the music in an organic flow, without schematic metrical emphases. The setting of accidentals follows the then practice.
The basso continuo ad libitum completes this edition.
All additions of the publishers are clearly marked. An epilogue informs you about all editorial decisions and exemplifies the text with contemporary Bible translations.
For a performance with various Colla-parte instruments, individual vocal books can be ordered for your concert.
