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. In this edition all the cantata librettos are given in
German-English parallel text. The most recent (sixth) German
edition appeared in 1995. For the English edition the text has been
carefully revised to bring it up to date, taking account of Bach
scholarship since that date.
