Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale settings have been vital to the teaching of music ever since they were composed. His four-voiced harmonisations represent a Baroque composer's approach to melodies that are often centuries older. As musical styles continued to evolve, each succeeding generation of teachers and students brought their own viewpoint to bear on this small corpus of music. Consequently, during the three centuries since their composition and a quarter of a millennium since their first publication, a range of contrasting ideas and approaches has tended to obscure the fundamental nature of these short yet complex musical works. This volume of Resources presents a comprehensive selection of individual phrases and whole chorales in Bach's harmonisations, together with some alternative settings for comparison. They have been sorted into five principal types and arranged in an increasing order of complexity. Every phrase has been meticulously checked for accuracy against its original version in the cantatas and Passions. This collection complements any course on chorale harmonisation - in particular, it provides authentic solutions to the exercises set in the accompanying Workbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johann Sebastian Bach’s chorale settings have been vital to the teaching of music ever since they were composed, and this comprehensive Course provides a thorough re-appraisal of this inspiring music. In matching HARMONY closely to TEXTURE, it is founded entirely on the composer's own procedures. Each Chapter builds on the work of previous ones, so that the student is taken from the simplest harmonizations of single phrases through to the most complex settings of complete chorale melodies employing the full range of Bach’s harmonic resources. The materials are complemented at every stage by focused exercises using Bach's music as relevant exemplars. This book provides the keen student with practical working insights into the basics of harmony and counterpoint, and these insights can then be adapted and applied to music in other styles and genres. This edition is presented in American English and American musical terminology. It complements the printed edition which uses British English and British musical terminology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents 375 of J.S. Bach's surviving chorale harmonizations with singable English translations of the original German text by choral conductor Henry S. Drinker. Printed in an easy-to-read format, this edition was designed to facilitate both analysis of Bach's musical genius in voice leading and renewed performance of these works by congregations. It is hoped that this user-friendly edition will inspire students and congregations alike to take a fresh look at this priceless musical treasure. Today they remain some of the finest examples of voice leading and harmonic movement, making them appropriate study material for any student of music theory and harmony. Chorales are also the root of traditional hymnody, especially from the Lutheran tradition. the chorales were originally text and melody sung a cappella, and were for congregational singing. Chorales were set in four parts for choir use, and are still appropriate for performance in worship services today. Many of the melodies will be familiar to those who sing traditional hymns. Choirs will love singing these beautifully written settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bach Chorale Book: A Collection of Hymns Set Exclusively to Chorales Unlike other hymn-books, this is a collection of Tunes with accompanying hymns, and not a collection of Hymns with accompanying tunes. The hymns are subject to the Tunes, more than the tunes to the Hymns. A departure such as this from approved practice requires explanation. Lovers of Bach are aware that this High Priest of Church Music introduced a great many of the standard Reformation hymn-tunes (called in Germany Chorales) into his sacred choral works. He did not, however, take them over in the form in which they left their composers' hands, but reharmonised their melodies (sometimes changing even the melodies themselves) in such a way as to suit the purpose and style of the larger work of which each chorale formed only a part. Not only has Bach so treated many chorales, but he has also harmonised the same chorales ln various ways. As these settings are complete in themselves no violence is done by extracting them from the many works in which they appear. Accordingly they have been gathered together by German editors into exclusive collections, in some cases with accompanying words, and in other cases with no words at all. But in neither of these forms are they of any use to English-singing Choirs. They can be played or listened to, but not sung. The majority of them, moreover, are hidden away in Cantatas that are seldom heard. Thus the two obstacles lying in the way are inaccessibility and absence of English words. My object in making this small selection has been to remove these two obstacles; so that now these glorious settings appear in a handy and inexpensive volume and can be sung to English words.
