Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750):
EHRE SEI GOTT IN DER HÖHE

Choir of Angels from Part Two of the Christmas
Oratorio, in Bachs own hand writing.

Evangelist:
Und alsobald war da bei dem Engel die Menge der himmlischen Heerscharen, die lobten Gott und sprachen:

Die Engeln:
Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe und Friede auf Erden und den Menschen ein Wohlgefallen.

(Lukas 2, 13-14)

Evangelist:
And suddenly there was with the angel the multitude of the host of heaven, there praising God and saying:

Choir of Angels:
Glory to God in the highest and peace on the earth now and to mankind a sign of favor.

(Luke 2, 13-14)

The autograph score by Bach can be found here (Satz 20-21):

  • Mr. Gardiner, much too fast, you are a bad musician!

    

  • @artois54

    Well, tempos are a very subjective thing, but with respect to Gardiners musicianship I can tell, that had you attended the same concerts with him and the Monteverdi Choir as I have, you would eat those words again...
