About this book

Bach's Oratorios: The Parallel German-English Texts with Annotations by Marissen, Michael. hardcover edition. ISBN: 8601406280847.

While Bachs oratorios are frequently performed, studied, and revered by many enthusiasts, the precise meanings of their librettos are somewhat elusive. Marissens close English translation of the often obscure or archaic German texts of the oratorios includes notes explaining historical, theological, and biblical references, which will promote a better understanding of these masterpieces. Translations appear parallel to the original German text.
