Works for Ensemble and Catalogue of the Complete Works (FbWV)

Each volume in this complete bilingual edition of the works of Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) contains a Critical Commentary and a detailed Foreword with sections on the edition's structure and scope, editorial method and performance practice, as well as discussions of contemporary instruments, ornamentation, and Froberger's life. Volume VII now brings the complete edition to a close. It contains two previously unpublished motets, 'Alleluia absorta est mors' (FbWV 701) and 'Apparuerunt Apostolis' (FbWV 702), both for soprano, tenor, bass, two violins, and continuo, as well as the 'Capriccio in C' (FbWV 706) for four voices or four instruments. The parts are included with the edition. The appendix provides a catalogue of all Froberger works known to date (FbWV), including, where applicable, the incipit of each work and entries on its instrumentation, date of composition, editions, and sources along with special comments. Another section directs readers to the most important references in the secondary literature.
