The Routledge Research Companion to Johann Sebastian Bach by Robin A Leaver Pdf
The Ashgate Research Companion to Johann Sebastian Bach provides an indispensable introduction to the Bach research of the past thirty-fifty years. It is not a lexicon providing information on all the major aspects of Bach's life and work, such as the Oxford Composer Companion: J. S. Bach. Nor is it an entry-level research tool aimed at those making a beginning of such studies. The valuable essays presented here are designed for the next level of Bach research and are aimed at masters and doctoral students, as well as others interested in coming to terms with the current state of Bach research. Each author covers three aspects within their specific subject area; firstly, to describe the results of research over the past thirty-fifty years, concentrating on the most significant and controversial, such as: the debate over Smend's NBA edition of the B minor Mass; Blume's conclusions with regard to Bach's religion in the wake of the 'new' chronology; Rifkin's one-to-a-vocal-part interpretation; the rediscovery of the Berlin Singakademie manuscripts in Kiev; the discovery of hitherto unknown manuscripts and documents and the re-evaluation of previously known sources. Secondly, each author provides a critical analysis of current research being undertaken that is exploring new aspects, reinterpreting earlier assumptions, and/or opening-up new methodologies. For example, Martin W. B. Jarvis has suggested that Anna Magdalena Bach composed the cello suites and contributed to other works of her husband - another controversial hypothesis, whose newly proposed forensic methodology requires investigation. On the other hand, research into Bach's knowledge of the Lutheran chorale tradition is currently underway, which is likely to shed more light on the composer's choices and usage of this tradition. Thirdly, each author identifies areas that are still in need of investigation and research.

The second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, C.P.E. Bach was an important composer in his own right, as well as a writer and performer on keyboard instruments. He composed roughly a thousand works in all the leading genres of the period, with the exception of opera, and Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven all acknowledged his influence. He was also the author of a two-volume encyclopedic book about performance on keyboard instrument. C.P.E. Bach and his music have always been the subject of significant scholarship and publication but interest has sharply increased over the past two or three decades from performers as well as music historians. This volume incorporates important writings not only on the composer and his chief works but also on theoretical issues and performance questions. The focus throughout is on relatively recent scholarship otherwise available only in hard-to-access sources.
The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach by David Schulenberg Pdf
The first book in nearly a century dedicated to a close examination of the musical works of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, first son of Johann Sebastian Bach.

At one time a star in her own right as a singer, Anna Magdalena (1701–60) would go on to become, through her marriage to the older Johann Sebastian Bach, history’s most famous musical wife and mother. The two musical notebooks belonging to her continue to live on, beloved by millions of pianists young and old. Yet the pedagogical utility of this music—long associated with the sound of children practicing and mothers listening—has encouraged a rosy and one-sided view of Anna Magdalena as a model of German feminine domesticity. Sex, Death, and Minuets offers the first in-depth study of these notebooks and their owner, reanimating Anna Magdalena as a multifaceted historical subject—at once pious and bawdy, spirited and tragic. In these pages, we follow Magdalena from young and flamboyant performer to bereft and impoverished widow—and visit along the way the coffee house, the raucous wedding feast, and the family home. David Yearsley explores the notebooks’ more idiosyncratic entries—like its charming ditties on illicit love and searching ruminations on mortality—against the backdrop of the social practices and concerns that women shared in eighteenth-century Lutheran Germany, from status in marriage and widowhood, to fulfilling professional and domestic roles, money, fashion, intimacy and sex, and the ever-present sickness and death of children and spouses. What emerges is a humane portrait of a musician who embraced the sensuality of song and the uplift of the keyboard, a sometimes ribald wife and oft-bereaved mother who used her cherished musical notebooks for piety and play, humor and devotion—for living and for dying.

The return of the Berlin Sing-Akademie s music archive from Kiev in December 2001 represents a significant addition to the Bach Collection of the Berlin Staatsbibliothek. The famous music archive, currently on loan to the music department of the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, was evacuated from Berlin in 1943 and regarded as missing for decades following the invasion by the Red Army. However, in 1999 it was discovered in Kiev by the musicologist Christoph Wolff. The collection of 241 boxes, currently housing the archive in Berlin, comprises several hundred thousand pages of autographs, copies and printed music, many of which are still unknown or hitherto regarded as missing. Of particular value is the Bach Collection which consists of some 26,000 pages and is now accessible for research through the extensive microfiche edition. The archive s Bach Collection contains pieces by 12 composers; all members of the Bach family. It was originally owned by Johann Sebastian Bach, and contains an exquisite collection of calligraphic motets and cantatas by the older Bach generation. Alone Johann Sebastian Bach concerned himself with the musical estate of his family by writing new covers and varying some of the compositions by adding embellishments, even rewriting some of them. He copied the motet Der Gerechte, ob er gleich zu zeitlich stirbt in full. Among the works, known as the Archive of the Elder Bachs, are some unique creations of Baroque vocal music such as the cantata for 22 voices Es erhub sich ein Streit, by Johann Christoph Bach. Far more comprehensive, are the music collections of works by Bach s sons Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach s work in particular, is well represented, as the archive comprises a major part of his musical estate. Carl Philipp Emanuel s late vocal work deserves special mention as it has remained in the dark ever since the composer s death in 1788 and almost nothing is known about it. None of these late works has ever been printed; hardly any survived at all outside the Sing-Akademie archive. Until now, these pieces were regarded as missing, although it was known that more than 20 passions, for example, had previously existed. Now, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach s late religious work is available for general research and presentation in concerts. In addition to passions and oratorios, numerous autographed and authorized copies of cembalo concertos, piano sonatas and chamber music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach number among the highlights of this, the largest part of the Sing-Akademie s Bachiana collection. Covering almost two centuries of German music history, the extraordinary Bachiana series draws to a close with Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst, the only composer among Bach s grandsons. For this microfiche edition, the recently returned original Bach manuscripts were revised and filmed in the highest quality. In addition, they were examined, sorted and arranged in the correct order. Further, the compositions were identified using existing catalogues of works and numbered accordingly. The works were filmed in an order corresponding to rising shelf marks, based on Carl Friedrich Zelter s system, structuring the archive by genres such as oratorios, cantatas and piano concertos. A printed booklet lists works in the order of their filming, providing brief information on the composer, the title of the work, its catalogue number and a reference to the microfiche location. Numerous indexes further facilitate easy access to individual works. This edition of the Sing-Akademie s Bach manuscripts represents an inestimable addition to the Bach Collection already published by K. G. Saur in the series Musikhandschriften aus der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz. At the same time, this is the first edition of a series of microfiche publications encompassing the entire body of this singular music archive.
The Music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach by David Schulenberg Pdf
Of the four sons of J.S. Bach who became composers, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88) was the most prolific, the most original, and the most influential both during and after his lifetime. This first full-length English-language study critically surveys his output, examining not only the famous keyboard sonatas and concertos but also the songs, chamber music, and sacred works, many of which resurfaced in 1999 and have not previously been evaluated. The bookalso outlines the composer's career from his student days at Leipzig and Frankfurt (Oder) to his nearly three decades as court musician to Prussian King Frederick "the Great" and his last twenty years as cantor at Hamburg. Focusing on the composer's choices within his social and historical context, the book shows how C.P.E. Bach deliberately avoided his father's style while adopting the manner of his Berlin colleagues, derived from Italian opera. Anew perspective on the composer emerges from the demonstration that C.P.E. Bach, best known for his virtuoso keyboard works, refashioned himself as a writer of vocal music and popular chamber compositions in response to changingcultural and aesthetic trends. Supplementary texts and musical examples are included on a companion website. David Schulenberg is professor of music at Wagner College and teaches historical performance at the JuilliardSchool. He is the author of The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (University of Rochester Press, 2010).
Gregorio Ballabene’s Forty-eight-part Mass for Twelve Choirs (1772) by Florian Bassani Pdf
Neither Spem in alium, the widely acclaimed ‘songe of fortie partes’ by Thomas Tallis, nor Alessandro Striggio’s forty-part Mass is the largest-scale counterpoint work in Western music. The actual winner is Gregorio Ballabene, a relatively unknown Roman maestro di cappella, a contemporary of Giovanni Paisiello, Joseph Haydn and Luigi Boccherini, who composed in forty-eight parts for twelve choirs. His Mass saw only a public rehearsal and was never performed liturgically despite all of Ballabene’s efforts to promote it. On closer inspection, however, the work deserves special consideration as a piece of outstanding combinatory creativity – the product of a talent able to conceive, structure and realise a project of colossal dimensions. It might even be claimed that if Charles Burney had gained knowledge of it, all derogatory comments by nineteenth-century music historians would not have succeeded in extinguishing the interest of later generations. Ballabene’s Mass has remained completely unstudied until today, even though the score survives in prominent collections. This study offers, for the first time, a historical and analytical perspective on this overlooked manifestation of a very individual musical intelligence.

Bach Perspectives, Volume 12 by Robin A. Leaver Pdf
Johann Sebastian Bach was a Lutheran and much of his music was for Lutheran liturgical worship. As these insightful essays in the twelfth volume of Bach Perspectives demonstrate, he was also influenced by--and in turn influenced--different expressions of religious belief. The vocal music, especially the Christmas Oratorio, owes much to medieval Catholic mysticism, and the evolution of the B minor Mass has strong Catholic connections. In Leipzig, Catholic and Lutheran congregations sang many of the same vernacular hymns. Internal squabbles were rarely missing within Lutheranism, for example Pietists' dislike of concerted church music, especially if it employed specific dance forms. Also investigated here are broader issues such as the close affinity between Bach's cantata libretti and the hymns of Charles Wesley; and Bach's music in the context of the Jewish Enlightenment as shaped by Protestant Rationalism in Berlin. Contributors: Rebecca Cypess, Joyce L. Irwin, Robin A. Leaver, Mark Noll, Markus Rathey, Derek Stauff, and Janice B. Stockigt.
This book a offers a multitude of provocative new perspectives on one of the most iconic composers in the Western classical tradition. Its collective rethinking of some of our most cherished narratives and deeply held beliefs about Johann Sebastian Bach will allow readers to see the man in a new light and to hear his music with new ears.
Music at German Courts, 1715-1760 by Alina Zorawska-Witkowska,Bärbel Pelker Pdf
What was musical life at German courts really like during the eighteenth century? Were musical ensembles as diverse as the Holy Roman Empire's kaleidoscopic political landscape? Through a series of individual case studies contributed by leading scholars from Germany, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Australia, this book investigates the realities of musical life at fifteen German courts of varied size (ranging from kingdoms to principalities), religious denomination, and geographical location. Significant shifts that occurred in the artistic priorities of each court are presented through a series of snapshots- in effect core sample years - which highlight both individualand shared patterns of development and decline. What emerges from the wealth of primary source material examined in this volume is an in-depth picture of music-making within the daily life of individual courts, featuring a cast ofmusic directors, instrumentalists, and vocalists, together with numerous support staff drawn from across Europe. Music at German Courts serves to illustrate the extraordinary diversity of eighteenth-century German court music establishments without losing sight of what these Kapellen had in common.
