Some Notes on Bach's Church-Cantatas (Classic Reprint) by Ebenezer Prout Pdf
Excerpt from Some Notes on Bach's Church-Cantatas Before leaving the chorales there is one point more which ought to be noticed. We often meet several different har monizations of the same chorale, according to the words to which it is set. In several cases five or six versions of the same tune are to be found, and sometimes changes are in troduced even in the melody itself. The well-known Passion chorale O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, which everyone will recognize under its English title, '0 sacred Head once wounded', is found in various works of Bach in nearly a dozen difi'erent arrangements. He sometimes harmonizes itin its original mode, the Phrygian; at other times he treats it in the Ionian mode; most of you will remember the striking effect which Bach produces in the Passion according to Matthew, when, on the final appearance of the chorale, toward the close of the work, instead of ending, as he had previously done, with a full cadence in the major key.

Bach & God explores the religious character of Bach's vocal and instrumental music in seven interrelated essays. Noted musicologist Michael Marissen offers wide-ranging interpretive insights from careful biblical and theological scrutiny of the librettos. Yet he also shows how Bach's pitches, rhythms, and tone colors can make contributions to a work's plausible meanings that go beyond setting texts in an aesthetically satisfying manner. In some of Bach's vocal repertory, the music puts a "spin" on the words in a way that turns out to be explainable as orthodox Lutheran in its orientation. In a few of Bach's vocal works, his otherwise puzzlingly fierce musical settings serve to underscore now unrecognized or unacknowledged verbal polemics, most unsettlingly so in the case of his church cantatas that express contempt for Jews and Judaism. Finally, even Bach's secular instrumental music, particularly the late collections of "abstract" learned counterpoint, can powerfully project certain elements of traditional Lutheran theology. Bach's music is inexhaustible, and Bach & God suggests that through close contextual study there is always more to discover and learn.
For Johann Sebastian there was always music. His family had been musicians, or bachs as they were called in Germany, for 200 years. He always wanted to be a bach. As he grew, he saw patterns in everything. Patterns he would turn into melodies and song, eventually growing into one of the most important and celebrated musical composers of all time. This is the story of Johann Sebastian Bach.
