English music studies often apply rigid classifications to musical
materials, their uses, their consumers, and performers. The
contributors to this volume argue that some performers and
manuscripts from the early modern era defy conventional
categorization as "amateur" or "professional," "native" or
"foreign." These leading scholars explore the circulation of music
and performers in early modern England, reconsidering previously
held ideas about the boundaries between locations of musical
performance and practice.
Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale settings have been vital to the
teaching of music ever since they were composed. His four-voiced
harmonisations represent a Baroque composer's approach to melodies
that are often centuries older. As musical styles continued to
evolve, each succeeding generation of teachers and students brought
their own viewpoint to bear on this small corpus of music.
Consequently, during the three centuries since their composition
and a quarter of a millennium since their first publication, a
range of contrasting ideas and approaches has tended to obscure the
fundamental nature of these short yet complex musical works. This
volume of Resources presents a comprehensive selection of
individual phrases and whole chorales in Bach's harmonisations,
together with some alternative settings for comparison. They have
been sorted into five principal types and arranged in an increasing
order of complexity. Every phrase has been meticulously checked for
accuracy against its original version in the cantatas and Passions.
This collection complements any course on chorale harmonisation -
in particular, it provides authentic solutions to the exercises set
in the accompanying Workbook.
