Johann Sebastian Bach's works are often classified as either sacred
or secular. While this distinction is fraught, it seems to provide
a useful way to distinguish between Bach's vocal works for the
liturgy and those he wrote to honor courts and members of the
nobility. But even so, the lines cannot be drawn clearly. The
political and social systems of the time relied on religion as an
ideological foundation, and public displays of political power
almost always included religious rituals and thus required some
form of sacred music. Social constructs, such as class and gender,
were also embedded in religious frameworks. In Bach in the World,
author Markus Rathey offers a new exploration of how Bach's music
functioned as an agent of affective communication within rituals,
such as the installation of the town council, and as a place where
socio-political norms were perpetuated and sometimes even
challenged. The book does so by analyzing public manifestations of
the social order during Bach's time in large-scale celebrations,
processions, public performances, and visual displays.
