Six Greats Secular Cantatas, in Full Score

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Six (6) Greats Secular Cantatas = Seis (6) grandes cantatas profanas. Partitura general.
From the Bach-Gesellschaft Edition

Exhibiting the same extraordinarily high level of music-making as his church cantatas, Bach's secular cantatas reveal his pure polyphonic style delightfully enhanced by a greater degree of grace and chann. They are Bach's nearest approach to comic opera, and some of them were presented as costumed masques.
The scores have been reprinted horn the standard Bach-Gesellschaft edition. Noteheads are large, and margins are wide.
