Editing Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (section)

===Choral works===
Throughout his lifetime, Bach worked on the ''[[Magnificat (C. P. E. Bach)|Magnificat in D]]'', Wq. 215. J. S. Bach was alive to hear it in 1749, and C. P. E. continued to revise and perform it as late as 1786. The work clearly shows the influence of J.S. Bach's own [[Magnificat (Bach)|Magnificat]], including the striking resemblance of the ''Deposuit'' movements in both works.

His other important choral works include the ''Heilig'' (German Sanctus), Wq. 217, which he performed together with the ''Credo'' from his Father's [[Mass in B minor]], the oratorios ''[[Die Israeliten in der Wüste]]'', Wq. 238 and ''[[Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu]]'', Wq. 240, and [[Passions (C. P. E. Bach)|21 Passions]].
