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.
Focusing on the works of J. S. Bach, this invaluable guide surveys the choral-orchestral repertoire.
Originally published in 1933, this book presents a report prepared by the Cambridgeshire Council of Music Education. The text provides a comprehensive study regarding the nature of music education in the region and the possibilities for its improvement, taking into account the changes to musical experience brought about by the gramophone and broadcasting.
This useful reference guide catalogs 47 of Bach's cantatas that are most likely to be performed by choral organizations of limited means. The cantatas catalogued require no more instruments than a string ensemble plus two woodwind instruments.
