Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt (motet)
Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is a three-movement pasticcio motet for double SATB choir. It includes music by Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach. The text of the motet is a German paraphrase of Psalm 100.[1]
There is some doubt as to who compiled the work: it may have been Bach or
History
The scribe of one of the extant manuscripts of the work, a manuscript that attributes the work to Bach, was formerly believed to be Johann Christoph Altnickol,[1] Bach's son-in-law, but appears actually to be Johann Christoph Farlau.[4] Thanks to the researches of Peter Wollny, Farlau has been identified as copyist of a number of works by Bach, notably an early version of the St Matthew Passion.[5] Farlau is believed to have studied with Altnickol in the 1750s.[6] His interest in Bach's music continued after Altnickol's death. His copy of Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is dated to the second half of the 18th century (c.1760–1789).[4] Another manuscript of around the same time attributes the work to "Bach and Telemann".[7]
Movements
The first movement of Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is likely an adaptation by Bach of a composition by Telemann.[2][8]
The second movement of the motet is derived from a composition by Bach: it is based on the second movement of his cantata
The third movement of Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is an adaptation of the "Amen" TWV 1:1066 by Telemann, and was probably added to the composition by Harrer.[2]
