Johann Sebastian Bach was a Lutheran and much of his music was for
Lutheran liturgical worship. As these insightful essays in the
twelfth volume of Bach Perspectives demonstrate, he was also
influenced by--and in turn influenced--different expressions of
religious belief. The vocal music, especially the Christmas
Oratorio, owes much to medieval Catholic mysticism, and the
evolution of the B minor Mass has strong Catholic connections. In
Leipzig, Catholic and Lutheran congregations sang many of the same
vernacular hymns. Internal squabbles were rarely missing within
Lutheranism, for example Pietists' dislike of concerted church
music, especially if it employed specific dance forms. Also
investigated here are broader issues such as the close affinity
between Bach's cantata libretti and the hymns of Charles Wesley;
and Bach's music in the context of the Jewish Enlightenment as
shaped by Protestant Rationalism in Berlin. Contributors: Rebecca
Cypess, Joyce L. Irwin, Robin A. Leaver, Mark Noll, Markus Rathey,
Derek Stauff, and Janice B. Stockigt.
