Motetten BWV 225-230

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Rostocker Motettenchor & Capella Fidicinia & Hans Grüß & Hartwig Eschenburg

Motetten BWV 225–230 is a set of sacred motets by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century and broadly dated to the 1720s. The works deploy dense counterpoint, double-choir textures and varied vocal scoring with continuo and occasional instrumental doubling, featuring complex fugal writing and expressive text-setting that situate them within Bach's sacred choral output and the Baroque motet tradition.
First released: March 1991
