In 1985 Christoph Wolff, working at Yale University, discovered a collection of 82 chorales compiled by Johann Gottfried Neumeister (1756-1840) which contained 38 compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. They reveal great stylistic variety whose forebears stem from the Northern German organ tradition. Already these early works comprising fantasias, fugues, fughettas and imitative techniques employing motifs from chorale melodies bear witness to Bach’s broad compositional spectrum. This newly published volume is an updated edition of Series IV/9 of the “New Bach Edition” (NBA), edited by Christoph Wolff and based on this source. In addition to a newly added concordance and corrections to the musical text, it also contains a detailed Foreword by Christoph Wolff with further information on the Neumeister Collection and hymnological details. The source of the complete Neumeister Collection has recently been made available on “Bach digital”, shedding light on the manuscript for the very first time. Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the Bach Leipzig Archive and its database “Bach digital”. The desired page of the source can be accessed quickly and conveniently via URLs at http://links.baerenreiter.com. The links stored there are examined for their validity on a regular basis. Any complete scholarly critical edition of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach must incorporate new research findings in the interest of scholars and performers alike. Now all of Bärenreiter’s new performing editions of Bach’s organ works are being revised to reflect the current state of scholarship and to convey maximum fidelity to the sources by being linked to “Bach digital”. • Links to relevant sources in “Bach digital” • Detailed new Foreword about the Neumeister Collection by Christoph Wolff (Ger/Eng) • Complete new engraving Contents Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich / Ein Kindelein so löbelich BWV 719 Wir Christenleut BWV 1090 Das alte Jahr vergangen ist BWV 1091 Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf BWV 1092 Herzliebster Jesus, was hast du verbrochen BWV 1093 O Jesu, wie ist dein Gestalt BWV 1094 O Lamm Gottes unschuldig BWV 1095 Christe, der du bist Tag und Licht / Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ BWV 1096 Ehre sei dir Christe, der du leidest Not BWV 1097 Wir glauben all an einen Gott BWV 1098 Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir BWV 1099 Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ BWV 1100 Ach, Gott und Herr BWV 714 Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder / Herzlich tut mich verlangen BWV 742 Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt BWV 1101 Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ BWV1102 Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort BWV 1103 Wenn dich Unglück tut greifen an BWV 1104 Jesu, meine Freude BWV 1105 Gott ist mein Heil, mein Hilf und Trost BWV 1106 Jesu, meines Lebens Leben BWV 1107 Als Jesus Christus in der Nacht BWV 1108 Ach Gott, tu dich erbarmen BWV 1109 O Herre Gott, dein göttlich Wort BWV 1110 Nun laßt uns den Leib begraben BWV 1111 Christus, der ist mein Leben BWV1112 Ich hab mein Sach Gott heimgestellt BWV 1113 Herr Jesu Christ,du höchstes Gut BWV 1114 Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr BWV 1115 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan BWV 1116 Alle Menschen müssen sterben BWV 1117 Machs mit mir, Gott, nach deiner Güte BWV 957 Werde munter mein Gemüte BWV 1118 Wie nach einer Wasserquelle BWV 1119 Christ, der du bist der helle Tag BWV 1120 Editor: Wolff, Christoph
