Description

For Fall/Winter 2025, each singer will need a vocal score for Magnificat (BWV 243) by Johann Sebastian Bach, plus  8 smaller pieces of music. For the Bach, we will be using the Peters Urtext Edition, edited by Hans-Joachim Schulze, Vocal score by Johannes Muntschick. The ISMN number for this score is 979-0-014-07890-4.  New copies of this vocal score are available through Cappella Cantorum, either by pre-ordering on this website or by purchasing a copy at rehearsal.

If you already have a copy of Bach’s Magnificat, you are welcome to use it as long as it is identical or very close to the version we’re using. If in doubt, you can compare your old score to a new score at a rehearsal before deciding. If you decide to use your own Bach score, you will only need to order the 8 other pieces (available only as a set).

All music scores are ordinarily made available for pickup at the first rehearsal. If you’d like to have your scores early so you can work on them BEFORE the first rehearsal, please call 860-532-0454 to arrange for earlier pickup. You can pay for scores by cash or check at the time of pickup, or pay online with a credit card prior to pickup.
