Providing a detailed analysis of Bach's Passions, this 2010 book
represents an important contribution to the debate about the
culture of 'classical music', its origins, priorities and survival.
The angles from which each chapter proceeds differ from those of a
traditional music guide, by examining the Passions in the light of
the mindsets of modernity, and their interplay with earlier models
of thought and belief. While the historical details of Bach's
composition, performance and theological context remain crucial,
the foremost concern of this study is to relate these works to a
historical context that may, in some threads at least, still be
relevant today. The central claim of the book is that the interplay
of traditional imperatives and those of early modernity renders
Bach's Passions particularly fascinating as artefacts that both
reflect and constitute some of the priorities and conditions of the
western world.
