Seldom heard works from Bach’s pupils are waiting to be discovered! The unique compositional styles of motets by Gottfried August Homilius, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach or Johann Philipp Kirnberger show once again the originality of the generation of composers after Johann Sebastian Bach. In spite of individual references to their teacher in each of the works recorded here the independence which they exercised, their further compositional development and how they distanced themselves stylistically from the master are clearly evident. The compositions are characterized by their original voice leading, harmonic liberties and expressive melodic lines, as in Friedrich Doles’s motet “Werbin ich, Herr.” Peter Kopp and the Vocal Concert Dresden [formerly known as the “Körnersche Sing-Verein] realize the emotional potential and multi-layered aspects of these works most convincingly in a moving interpretation.
