Choräle und Geistliche Lieder, Teil 1, Repertoires der Zeit vor 1750:
Drei Trauungschoräle, BWV 250-252 (3 weddings chorales written some time between 1734 and 1738)
Choralsätze der Sammlung Dietel - 149 chorales with non-sequential BWV nos.published by Johann Ludwig Dietel (who apparently was an early Bach scholar and a Kantor in Falkenhain). These are harmonizations only, with no words except for the titles. 104 are chorale melodies from the cantatas, the motets, the passions, and the Christmas Oratorio and are designated, e.g., 60/5, meaning no. 5 in Cantata BWV 60.
Geistliche Lieder und Arien aus Schemellis Gesangbuch (69 pieces with non-sequential BWV nos.) - Some of these may be original Bach, but most, like the chorales, are reworkings by Bach of older compositions.
[The BWV nos. for all the categories range from 2/6 – 248/64 for chorales used in cantatas and other larger works, 250 - 252 for the wedding chorales, and 257 - 507 (plus four without BWV nos.) for the remainder of the chorales and the Schemelli Gesangbuch. There are, of course, many gaps in numbering, e.g.., after the cantata chorales, the run begins 257, 260, 267, 270, 271, 278, …]

Revised Edition

The Bach Archive Leipzig is the internationally recognised centre for Bach research. This guarantees that the New Bach Edition – Revised will be prepared by first-class editors. Volume by volume, editions of the highest standard will be created for the NBA rev.

The Mass in B minor will be the first work to be published during the summer of 2010. This work was originally published in 1954 (edited by Friedrich Smend) as the second volume of the NBA. The revised edition, edited by Uwe Wolf (Bach Archive Leipzig), takes into consideration the results of the latest research and scientific examination methods (x-ray spectography) into Bach’s manuscript score.

The volumes related to the major vocal works are marked with X

The edition will comprise the following volumes:
