Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren (May there be praise and glory and honour), BWV 28/2a and BWV 231, identical to the second movement of BWV Anh. 160, is a motet composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.[1] It was composed some time in 1725.[citation needed]
Text
[edit]BWV 28/2a is an arrangement of the second movement of Bach's cantata Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende, BWV 28, with a different text, however taken from the same Lutheran hymn, that is Johann Gramann's "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1530).[1]
Music
[edit]The motet has SATB voice parts.[1] In some[which?] printings of this motet, a basso continuo is added to support the bass part, doubling it exactly.[citation needed]
Recordings
[edit]- Thomanerchor Leipzig, Baroque Brass of London and Capella Thomana conducted by Georg Christoph Biller (recorded February 1997).[2]
