Additional product information
  • Johann Christoph Bach (1642–1703), the eldest son of Heinrich Bach, was regarded in the family tradition as the greatest genius before Johann Sebastian; in the family chronicle he is described as the “great and expressive composer”. J.C. Bach was presumably taught by the Arnstadt cantor Jonas de Fletin, who as a pupil of Heinrich Schütz represented the ideal of a style of composition combining the Italian and German traditions. For more than twenty years J.C. Bach’s collaboration with his cousin Johann Ambrosius Bach proved to be particularly fruitful. The Eisenach Stadtchronik wrote of Johann Ambrosius that in 1672 he had “created an effect at Easter with organs, violins, singing, trumpets and timpani” such as no cantor had previously achieved, but this impression was also due in no small measure to the demanding and extremely profound compositions of Johann Christoph Bach. His creative output encompasses, in addition to various works for harpsichord and organ, above all, motets, choral arias and cantatas which are distinguished by a high degree of technical skill and an extraordinarily harmonically rich and varied tonal language.

  • The publisher, church musician and teacher Günter Graulich is one of the major personalities in German publishing of the post-war period. With his wife Waltraud he founded Carus-Verlag Stuttgart in 1972, which he built up from a 2-person family firm to a medium-sized business with around 60 employees. A trained church musician and Kantor for many years at the Matthäuskirche Stuttgart, he also directed the Motettenchor Stuttgart for 50 years. With his choir he made LP and CD recordings, and undertook numerous concert tours to other European countries and America. Personal details
  • Paul Horn war ein deutscher Kirchenmusiker, Organist, Komponist und Musikwissenschaftler. Er studierte Kirchenmusik und Orgel an der Evangelischen Kirchenmusikschule Esslingen am Neckar bei Hans-Arnold Metzger und Musikwissenschaft, Theologie und Geschichte an der Universität Tübingen. Seine berufliche Laufbahn begann als Kantor an der Evangelischen Michaelskirche in Stuttgart-Degerloch. 1954 wurde er Kantor an der Evangelischen Stadtkirche Ravensburg, eine Position, die er bis zu seiner Pensionierung innehatte. Als Musikwissenschaftler arbeitete Horn bis ins hohe Alter eng mit Carus zusammen. So stammen zahlreiche Carus-Klavierauszüge aus seiner Feder. Personal details
