Die Pilgrime auf Golgatha
Passions-Oratorium BR JCFB D 1
“An unknown work from the so-called Bückeburger Bach, which at first was ascribed unjustly to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The story of the Suffering of the Lord is examined from a different perspective. Pilgrims have undertaken a journey to the Holy Land and when they arrive they are informed by a hermit of the suffering and death of Christ. An additional figure, an angel, lends this representation of the Passion a heightened form for communicating the importance of the suffering of Christ.”

Composer
Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach
| 1732-1795The works of the concert master at Bückeburg, Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (1732–1795), belong stylistically between the compositions of his elder brother Carl Philipp Emanuel and the contemporary Italian style. In addition to large-scale and ambitious oratorios he left two artistically fashioned motets, a series of festive cantatas, and above all, a great many instrumental works, some of which approach the tonal idiom of the classical masters.

Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach: Die Pilgrime auf Golgatha
Ein unbekanntes Werk des sogenannten Bückeburger Bach, das zunächst ungerechtfertigter Weise Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach zugesprochen wurde. Die Leidensgeschichte des Herrn wird hier aus einer neuen Perspektive beleuchtet. Pilger haben eine Reise ins heilige Land unternommen und werden vor Ort von einem Eremiten mit der Passion Christi vertraut gemacht. Die Gestalt des zusätzlich eingebrachten Engels verleiht der Passionsdarstellung eine gesteigerte Form zur Vermittlung der Wichtigkeit des Leidens Christi.
