Overview
This volume contains the full conductor's score (Partitúra) of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's monumental oratorio, Auferstehung und Himmmelfahrt Jesu (The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus). Edited with scholarly care by Darvas Gábor and published by Editio Musica Budapest (EMB), this sacred work is arguably C. P. E. Bach's most important contribution to the choral-orchestral repertoire.
The oratorio, set to a German text, showcases the composer's dramatic flair, combining powerful choruses, expressive arias for the three soloists (soprano, tenor, and bass), and innovative orchestral writing. It is a masterpiece of the Empfindsamkeit (sensitive style), bridging the solemn grandeur of his father J. S. Bach's tradition with the intense emotionality and theatricality of the emerging Classical period. This score is an essential resource for conductors and musicologists seeking to perform or study the core sacred works of the Bach lineage.

Interesting Facts
- C. P. E. Bach's Stature: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the most influential of J. S. Bach's composing sons and was a central figure in the transitional period between the Baroque and Classical eras. His highly emotional and unpredictable style—known as Sturm und Drang—paved the way for Haydn and Beethoven.
- Biblical Theme: The oratorio directly addresses the core Christian themes of Resurrection and Ascension, offering deeply expressive musical commentary on the spiritual narrative.
- Historical Significance: While composed later in his life, the piece is a perfect example of how C. P. E. Bach applied his dramatic techniques to sacred music, creating works of profound devotional impact that contrasted sharply with the stricter counterpoint of his father's generation.

Az oratórium a zeneszerző drámai tehetségét mutatja be, ötvözve az erőteljes kórusokat, a három szólista (szoprán, tenor és basszus) kifejező áriáit és az innovatív zenekari hangszerelést.
