Bach's St. Matthew Passion is universally acknowledged to be one of the world's supreme musical masterpieces, yet in the years after Bach's death it was forgotten by all but a small number of his pupils and admirers. The public rediscovered it in 1829, when Felix Mendelssohn conducted the work before a glittering audience of Berlin artists and intellectuals, Prussian royals, and civic notables. The concert soon became the stuff of legend, sparking a revival of interest in and performance of Bach that has continued to this day.Mendelssohn's performance gave rise to the notion that recovering and performing Bach's music was somehow "national work." In 1865 Wagner would claim that Bach embodied "the history of the German spirit's inmost life." That the man most responsible for the revival of a masterwork of German Protestant culture was himself a converted Jew struck contemporaries as less remarkable than it does us today—a statement that embraces both the great achievements and the disasters of 150 years of German history.In this book, Celia Applegate asks why this particular performance crystallized the hitherto inchoate notion that music was central to Germans' collective identity. She begins with a wonderfully readable reconstruction of the performance itself and then moves back in time to pull apart the various cultural strands that would come together that afternoon in the Singakademie. The author investigates the role played by intellectuals, journalists, and amateur musicians (she is one herself) in developing the notion that Germans were "the people of music." Applegate assesses the impact on music's cultural place of the renewal of German Protestantism, historicism, the mania for collecting and restoring, and romanticism. In her conclusion, she looks at the subsequent careers of her protagonists and the lasting reverberations of the 1829 performance itself.

Автор: Lynn Edwards Butler Название: Johann Scheibe: Organ Builder in Leipzig at the Time of Bach ISBN: 0252044312 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780252044311 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 54340.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In his nearly forty-year career, Johann Scheibe became Leipzig's most renowned organ builder and one of the late Baroque's masters of the craft. Johann Sebastian Bach and Johann Kuhnau considered Scheibe a valued colleague. Organists and civic leaders shared their high opinion, for Scheibe built or rebuilt every one of the city's organs.
Drawing on extensive research and previously untapped archival materials, Lynn Edwards Butler explores Scheibe's professional relationships and the full range of his projects. These assignments included the three-manual organ for St. Paul’s Church, renovations of the organs in the important churches of St. Thomas and St. Nicholas, and the lone surviving example of Scheibe's craft, a small organ in the nearby village of Zschortau. Viewing Scheibe within the context of the era, Butler illuminates the music scene of Bach's time as she follows the life of a gifted craftsman and his essential work on an instrument that anchored religious musical practice and community.
Volume 2 of 2. Bach left few sketches for his music: writing for church and congregation obliged him to invent ideas quickly and to write them down at once. Bach's process of composition may thus be seen in his autograph scores, and is now reconstructed by Robert Marshall in an analysis of all the known autographs and sketches. The major part of his study investigates the musical material in the sources, with separate chapters devoted to the four-part chorales, the recitatives, and the arias and chorsuses. By interpreting corrections and sketches, Mr. Marshall works out the usual order of composition in each of these genres and uncvoers the reasons for changes in every musical parameter: melody, rhythm, harmony, texture, orchestration, and form. His analyses provide a greater awareness of Bach's musical personality--his likes and dislikes, his hierarchy of values, and his flexible response to a multitutde of compositional situations and problems. In addition to facsimile plates, the book includes over 20 musical examples and, in Volume II, rigorously faithful transcriptions of the complete sketch material. Readers can see immediately how Bach worked, revised, and polished his compositions. Robert L. Marshall is a member of the Department of Music, University of Chicago. He is currently editing a volume of Bach Cantatas for the Neue-Bach-Ausgabe. Princeton Studies in Music, 4.
