This book was released on 1999-07-21 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new investigation of the Brandenburg Concertos explores musical, social, and religious implications of Bach's treatment of eighteenth-century musical hierarchies. By reference to contemporary music theory, to alternate notions of the meaning of "concerto," and to various eighteenth-century conventions of form and instrumentation, the book argues that the Brandenburg Concertos are better understood not as an arbitrary collection of unrelated examples of "pure" instrumental music, but rather as a carefully compiled and meaningfully organized set. It shows how Bach's concertos challenge (as opposed to reflect) existing musical and social hierarchies. Careful consideration of Lutheran theology and Bach's documented understanding of it reveals, however, that his music should not be understood to call for progressive political action. One important message of Lutheranism, and, in this interpretation, of Bach's concertos, is that in the next world, the heavenly one, the hierarchies of the present world will no longer be necessary. Bach's music more likely instructs its listeners how to think about and spiritually cope with contemporary hierarchies than how to act upon them. In this sense, contrary to currently accepted views, Bach's concertos share with his extensive output of vocal music for the Lutheran liturgy an essentially religious character.

Download or read book Bach s Brandenburg Concertos written by Norman Carrell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1963 and with a foreword by Yehudi Menuhin, this book begins with a study of the historical scene and the conditions under which Bach and his player colleagues lived, wrote and worked. It discusses the instruments then in use and required by Bach in these compositions and why certain passages in consequence took the shape or form they did. The book analyses Bach’s music and demonstrates how he built up whole movements from a single 3 or 4-note germ, and at the same time shows how the composer developed his own powers. How, for example, in addition to making any necessary changes to overcome technical deficiencies, he began to think about the musical suitability of passages given to certain instruments instead of just giving the same passage to any of the instruments he happened to have included in his concertante group. When it was first published the book was believed to be the only one in English to deal with the subject in such detail.

This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Northern Arizona University (College of arts and letters), language: English, abstract: The statement of this essay is the following: Johann Sebastian Bach’s music is his own religion. It does not matter where it is performed, because it turns every room into a church. His chords build actual cathedrals, and his compositions stream devotion to God and the Divine. Bach is the theologian among classical composers. He examined fundamental questions about life and death, human creation, and the Creator. Without a doubt, it takes a lifetime to be able to interpret and perform Bach’s music, understand it, emotionally experience it, envision the divine and heaven, and to understand life, death, good, and evil as his music presents it.

Download or read book Complete concerti grossi written by Arcangelo Corelli and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These masterful works by the baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli (1653 1713) are among the earliest created in the concerto grosso form. They radiate a vibrant lyricism and crisp dignity of style that set them clearly apart from works by most earlier composers, who strove primarily for virtuoso brilliance and whimsy. This finely produced yet inexpensive paperback edition meticulously reproduces the scores of all twelve of Corelli's concerti grossi from a famous edition prepared by violinist Joseph Joachim and musicologist Friedrich Chrysander at the end of the nineteenth century. Corelli's concerti grossi for strings and continuo, most of them written in the last three decades of his life, were not published until 1714, the year following his death. Together with his other works four sets of trio sonatas and one set of violin sonatas they won him celebrity in his lifetime, great influence on other composers in the decades after his death, and a fervent admiration from musicians, critics, and audiences that has never declined through the centuries."
