Bach Chorales Indexed By Liturgical Occasion
|
The chorales of J.S. Bach are indexed below by the Lutheran liturgical calendar. Naturally, BWVs 250—438 are absent, since the larger works from which they came are lost, making placement in the liturgical calendar impossible (though in some cases, speculation is possible based on chorale texts). |
