Composed by Johann Kaspar Kerll, sometime before 1674
J.S. Bach arranged the Sanctus in D major (listed as BWV 241) from this work in
Leipzig between July 1747 and August 1748.
Bach exchanged the colla-parte instruments (4 trombones) for 3 viols and bassoon. The 3 viols play together with the alto and tenor voices and with the tenor voice in the 2nd; the 1st and 2nd viols receive obbligato voices in bars 13 to 18. J.S. Bach lets an oboe d'amore accompany each of the 2 soprano voices; the performance parts are in E major, in contrast to the score. Because he had no need for the Osanna and Benedictus for church services in
Leipzig, but still desired an impressive conclusion for the movement, J.S. Bach replaced J.K. Kerll's music to the Pleni sunt coeli with the music of the original Osanna; he not only rewarded the voices, but intensified the flow of the piece by using 16th instead of 8th notes.
