Download or read book The Cantatas of J S Bach written by Alfred Dürr and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-06-09 with total page 984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only English translation of this important book by the world's most distinguished Bach scholar. This work is widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the Bach cantatas. It begins with a historical survey of the seventeenth-century background to the cantatas, and performance practice issues. The core of the book is a work-by-work study in which each cantata in turn is represented by its libretto, a synopsis of its movements, and a detailed analytical commentary. This format makes it extremely useful as a reference work for anyone listening to, performing in, or studying any of the Bach cantatas. All the cantata librettos are given in German-English parallel text. For the English edition the text has been carefully revised to bring it up to date, taking account of recent Bach scholarship.

Download or read book Bach and the Meanings of Counterpoint written by David Yearsley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bach's Germany musical counterpoint was an art involving much more than the sophisticated use of advanced compositional techniques. A range of theological, cultural, social and political meanings attached themselves to the use of complex procedures such as canon and double counterpoint. This book explores the significance of Bach's counterpoint in a range of interrelated contexts: its use as a means of reflecting on death; its parallels to alchemy; its vexed status in the galant music culture of the first half of the eighteenth century; its value as a representation of political power; and its central importance in the creation of Bach's image in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Touching on a wide array of contemporary literary, philosophical, critical, and musical texts, the book includes new readings of many of Bach's late works in order to re-evaluate the status and meaning of counterpoint in Bach's work and legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every year, Johann Sebastian Bach's major vocal works are performed to mark liturgical milestones in the Christian calendar. Written by a renowned Bach scholar, this concise and accessible book provides an introduction to the music and cultural contexts of the composer's most beloved masterpieces, including the Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio, and St. John Passion. In addition to providing historical information, each chapter highlights significant aspects--such as the theology of love--of a particular piece. This penetrating volume is the first to treat the vocal works as a whole, showing how the compositions were embedded in their original performative context within the liturgy as well as discussing Bach's musical style, from the detailed level of individual movements to the overarching aspects of each work. Published in the approach to Easter when many of these vocal works are performed, this outstanding volume will appeal to casual concertgoers and scholars alike." -- Publisher's description

Download or read book Even More Bach Duets written by Johann Bach and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following our Bach Duets book for two people two instruments, arranged for two keyboard instruments, we now offer a new book of more Bach duets for 2, 3, or even 4 players you may play one or even more instruments - pick from pianos, organs and harpsichords that you enjoy playing. Playing DuetsDo you remember the first time you played a duet? If you have never played a duet, you have something to look forward to. It is rare for a player not to be able to recall where, when, and with whom, they first played a duet. For people who spend countless hours alone in a practice room with only a piano for company; or freezing in the organ loft of a church in the winter, while dreading the overpowering heat in summers; not to say anything about the terrors of walking through a church in total darkness after a late-night practice; the opportunity to play duets with another, live person, is an amazing experience. Those who may suffer stagefright at the thought of playing alone in recital (or even in lessons) may find themselves reveling in the joy of playing alongside someone who knows exactly what it is like to be a musician, playing the same instrument. And unlike being in competition with someone on your same level, playing duets can successfully and joyfully be played by people of different levels of ability. In many cases, the weaker player becomes stronger, challenged in a good way, to practice more diligently through the inspiration of seeing and hearing "how it's done" and wanting to be able to reach that higher level. Why is this such a great experience? Because these pieces have been arranged for two or more players, you are suddenly able to play and hear music that may be beyond your current playing level. This book contains beautiful music of Bach, all suitable for recital or playing during church services.
