Actus tragicus – Cantata 106 “Gottes Zeit” gamba parts transcribed for cello, in Eb

This part allows one to substitute cellos for gambas in Cantata 106 by re-writing the various C-clefs into a cello-usable format. No notes have been changed, only clefs. Gamba I is here written in the treble and tenor clefs. Gamba II is here written in the tenor and bass clefs. The edition replicates the Breitkopf plates from the BGA. The parts are in the key of Eb and work well with flutes at concert pitch, or with A=415 recorders playing from parts in F.  

 

There is also a basso continuo part with the following description: “This part has transcribed the scattered “early music” C-clefs into tenor clef for ease of reading by the modern cellist. No notes have been changed. Part is in the key of Eb.”
