Re: Ecclesiastical year & readings
That seems a good source. That should also include the readings of those days for which Bach did not write a cantata.
Many thanks. I'm going to look at that.

Re: Ecclesiastical year & readings
It occurs to me to add that if you would like to see this in the publication from which the Leipzig churches worked, online you can view a copy of the?Vollst?ndiges Kirchen-Buch in an edition published in the 1740s in that city. It contains, among other things, the complete gospel and epistle texts for each day; also provided are collects (group prayers) for each occasion, the harmonized passion narrative, Josephus's description of the destruction of Jerusalem read each year on the 10th Sunday after Trinity, creeds, a catechism, and so on.

Re: Ecclesiastical year & readings
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýA couple of thoughts from a non-expert here. I have the impression that local Lutheran churches did things independently so presume you would need a Leipzig church book for the 18th century. As an ex-Catholic I¡¯m aware Luther translated much from the Catholic services of his time. So I found myself wondering if looking at an old (pre-1970) MIssale Romanum might offer help in terms of biblical readings. The Catholic missal was prepared after the Council of Trent and remained in use for four centuries, across the entire Church. I have no idea whether the Lutheran churches revised the biblical readings they used; if they did, back to square one. But presumably you easily see if there were a match between the readings and cantatas?Regards, Stefan Lewicki

Re: Ecclesiastical year & readings
Dear Aryeh,
?
Thanks for the link. These data are useful, but they don't offer what I am looking for. For instance, Sunday Judica: Bach did not write any cantata for it, and that means that there is no information about the readings at that Sunday. And exactly that is what I would like to know about.
?
Regards,
?

Ecclesiastical year & readings
I would like to know if there is a list of the Sun- and feastdays of the ecclesiastical year in Lutheran Germany in the time of Bach and Telemann, with an indication of the readings of that particular day. Many can be found in Alfred D¨¹rr's book on Bach's cantatas, but Bach did not compose a cantata for each Sunday, especially during Lent, as on some Sundays there was no figural music. I am preparing a review of a recording of cantatas by Telemann, who did compose a cantata for each Sunday and feastday. I am interested in the readings on those days in order to see what the connection between them and the respective librettos is.
