Sacred Odes and Songs (Gellert)
BR-CPEB H 1 + H 4 (Wq 194 + 195)
For the last twenty years of his life Carl Phillipp Emanuel held the important position for sacred music in Hamburg as Kantor and Music Director of the city's main churches. We owe to these years in Hamburg such significant, indeed epochal works as the double-choir Heilig and the great oratorios Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu and Die Israeliten in der Wüste. Despite having borrowed some chorales and turbae from his father, the St. Matthew Passion of 1769 belongs among the most important works in this genre since the Leipzig Passions of J. S. Bach. On the other hand, the Magnificat of this Bach son was first performed in Leipzig during his father's lifetime and later revised in Hamburg with expanded scoring.

Composer
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
| 1714-1788Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) was an extremely prolific composer who enjoyed a high reputation during his lifetime with the result that his music became known far and wide. The early works were influenced by the Berlin School. In his later works, however, this composer developed a thoroughly individual style, independent of contemporary fashions, which is to be found especially in the sacred vocal works written during his years as Director of Music in Hamburg (1768–1788).
