Here's a couple more ...

Hi CT64,

Just a question for you. BWV621 'Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stund' you've noted a metronome marking of Crotchet = 52.

Curious because I always use this on Good Friday and always play it about half that tempo on something like a 8' violin diapason or similar. I think it has a wonderful tension to it that conveys the intense sadness associated with the crucifixion.

So, I'm curious what others do with this one???????????????

This question is not solely directed at CT64. Thanks for responses.

Hi NEB,

Crotchet = 52/54 is the tempo I favour in this one, but it can be played a little slower without losing its effect. The danger, however, is that it will become 'laboured'. On the other hand, perhaps the 'tension' and 'intense sadness' are best expressed by its being laboured ?

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Where can I obtain a copy of these Cantatas?

[Krummhorn]

They are ripe for the picking ... see the first (click here) post of this thread.

They are all in PDF format, easily saved by a right click on file.

[Mark B]

Thanks but I cannot see what I have to click and where within your link to get to them. It seems like I'm going round in circles. Ok.... now I see them. Thanks

[Krummhorn]
