It is likely that Bach began working on the music during the Advent period of 1734. Besides the first performance which took place during the Christmas season 1734\/35, it seems quite probable that other performances were held during Bach's lifetime, since the original, partly autographic performance material discloses traces of frequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Härtel","offers":[{"title":"Vocal Score","offer_id":1017837355029,"sku":"EB13","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vocal Score - Digital Download","offer_id":41418078814287,"sku":"EB13D","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":42163982073935,"sku":"PB4949","price":86.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin I","offer_id":42163982041167,"sku":"OB4949-15","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violin II","offer_id":42163981942863,"sku":"OB4949-16","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Viola","offer_id":42163981877327,"sku":"OB4949-19","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cello \/ Double Bass","offer_id":42163981910095,"sku":"OB4949-26","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind Set: 0.0.0.0 – 0.0.0.0 – timp","offer_id":42163982008399,"sku":"OB4949-30","price":115.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Basso continuo","offer_id":42163981975631,"sku":"OB4949-11","price":60.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/d43cbbd527be9ee8e154e6bbbe9a320c.jpg?v=1750528958","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/bach-christmas-oratorio-bwv-248-breitkopf","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
