Bach's Changing World is a study of popular culture in the
community in which Bach spent the last, the longest, and the most
productive part of his life: the Leipzig middle-class. The Leipzig
middle-class evolved with the cooperation and gratitude of an
extravagant, greedy, and disinterested absolutist ruler. Bach's
Changing World documents how this community and other German
communities responded toa variety of religious, social, and
political demands that emerged during the years of the composer's
lifetime. An accepted, admired, and trusted member of this
community, as evidenced by the commissions he received for secular
celebrations from royalty and members of the middle-class alike --
in addition to functioning as church composer -- Bach shared its
values. Contributors: Carol K. Baron, Susan H. Gillespie, Katherine
Goodman, Joyce L. Irwin, Tanya Kevorkian, Ulrich Siegele, John Van
Cleve, and Ruben Weltsch. Carol K. Baron is Fellow for Life in the
Department of Music at Stony Brook University, where she was
co-founder and administrator of the Bach Aria Festival and
Institute.
