Corrections, Updates
Barenreiter has published all the cantatas in an affordable paperback study edition. I am starting a revision of all files based on this set. This edition presents the cantatas in the order of the church calendar so the chorales from the cantatas will be uploaded in that order. For this 'definitive' revision (hopefully) I am starting this new page and am keeping the old corrections page as this archive. I will focus first on the four-part chorales, and revise the other, more complex chorales when the four-part harmonizations are finished.
Each time a new upload occurs, all sets will be updated. New pdf sets will contain the new layout with the tenor part in the one octave down G clef. This file will now be the one that is linked on the pdf column of the list pages; the chorale with the tenor in the bass clef will be included in the sets, with the suffix 'f' (for F clef) on the file name. It will not be linked on the pages, but is included because it may be easier for keyboard players to read. Until the chorale is updated, the original file name will be the file with the tenor in bass clef; the change to the G clef tenor will not occur until the upload of the new revision.I know this will be confusing; unrevised pdfs will have tenor in bass clef, updated pdfs will have the tenor in the octave down G clef. A way around this would be to wait to upload the pdfs until the entire revision is complete and I would prefer to make the files available as they are done. Another solution would be to keep the bass clef file with the original name, and make a new name for the G clef file. However, this would entail changing every pdf name in my entire database and on every page of the web site - not feasible.
When the entire revision is complete, the standard file name will have the chorale with the tenor in octave down G clef, and the pdf with the tenor in bass clef will have an 'f' added to the name.
006206.pdf - tenor in octave down G clef
006206f.pdf - tenor in bass or F clef.
Because the folder of PDF files is becoming quite large, I am separating the pdfs in tenor clef from the pdfs with the tenor in bass clef. There will be two sets of pdfs, pdf.zip and pdf-f.zip.
