Johann Sebastian Bach

Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit

Johann Sebastian Bach's masterful funeral cantata 'Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit' (BWV 106), widely known as the 'Actus tragicus', is one of the most profoundly moving creations of Baroque sacred music. With a duration of approximately 22 minutes, the composition weaves an incomparably comforting and intimate soundscape through the combination of four soloists, mixed choir (SATB), orchestra, and basso continuo. This high-quality separate part for Viola 1 from the renowned publishing house Breitkopf & Härtel provides string players with the ideal foundation for rehearsals and concert performances. It features an exceptionally clear, readable layout, practical page turns, and the publisher's hallmark precision. An indispensable instrumental part for musicians and ensembles seeking an authentic and inspiring performance of Bach's timeless masterpiece.
