Apropos recent discoveries, maybe you can get this working: Sacred Aria by Bach Discovered Unknown Vocal Work Found in Weimar
»Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn ihn« BWV 1127 Bachs rediscovered aria is now available in a practical edition In May 2005 the Leipzig-based musicologist Michael Maul made a sensational discovery in Weimar. While sifting through the Herzogin Anna Amalia library he unearthed the manuscript of a sacred aria by Johann Sebastian Bach which was previously completely unknown. It is the first time since 1935 that a new Bach composition has been discovered. The aria consisting of twelve verses is written for solo soprano, strings and basso continuo and opens with the words Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn ihn. It was composed in 1713 to celebrate the 53rd birthday of Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe- Weimar who employed Bach as court organist from 1708 until 1717. This vocal work is Bachs sole contribution to the genre of strophic aria. Each verse is accompanied by basso continuo and followed by a lively string ritornello, making this work a pièce doccasion of exquisite quality. The aria was heard again for the first time on 3 September 2005 in Weimar, with the vocal part sung by Juliane Banse and the instrumental parts taken by the Quatuor Mosaïques and the well-known pianist András Schiff. Following this première, musicians all over the world were given an opportunity to perform the "new" Bach, for only two days later Bärenreiter issued a performance edition with explanatory preface by Michael Maul. In addition to this Urtext performing edition, Bärenreiter will publish a facsimile of this aria, to be presented for the first time in October 2005. This facsimile will constitute volume 1 of the new series Facsimiles of Bachs Works and Writings and will be published in collaboration with the Bach Archive in Leipzig. The facsimile includes a CD with the première recording of the aria. Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducts the English Baroque Soloists with Elin Manahan Thomas (soprano).
