A Mighty Fortress (Cantata #80) J.S. Bach
Welcome to our Mighty Fortress website. Your music is below.
Page numbers: You’ll need to mark your own on this copy. The copy provided for you at the church is marked accurately.
Home Rehearsal Recordings: The home rehearsal recordings below are generated by several AI supported programs I have programed from different platforms. They suffice only to learn notes and rhythms. Sometimes they sing nicely. Sometimes they are a bit weird. Sometimes they sing the words and change the vowels etc…However they work great to learn your notes and rhythm.
Performance Recording: My arrangement and redaction of this Cantata is original. What we will use for a professional recording from which to emulate is Phillipe Herreweghe conductor of the Collegium Vocale Gent, Holland. They are world class. Click HERE to hear the entire version.
Learning your parts: Movement 1 is exciting and very challenging. Start soon and work on this Movement 1st earnestly, knowing that everything else is very easy. I arranged it this way on purpose.
