Motets and arias for choirs (volume 4)
collected and edited by Johann Adam Hiller 1780
The fourth volume of Johann Adam Hiller’s editions of motets and arias continues where the previous volumes left off, with further motets by Graun, Hiller, Homilius and Rolle. Once again the motets of Theodor Christlieb Reinhold are represented. Reinhold was Kantor at the Dresden Kreuzkirche during the time Bach was Thomaskantor in Leipzig. This volume concludes with four senstive choral arias by the early Bach admirer Christian Friedrich Penzel after psalm texts which appeared at that time as “poetic translations” by Johann Andreas Cramer.
