Bach's St. Matthew Passion is universally acknowledged to be one of the world's supreme musical masterpieces, yet in the years after Bach's death it was forgotten by all but a small number of his pupils and admirers. The public rediscovered it in 1829, when Felix Mendelssohn conducted the work before a glittering audience of Berlin artists and intellectuals, Prussian royals, and civic notables. The concert soon became the stuff of legend, sparking a revival of interest in and performance of Bach that has continued to this day. Mendelssohn's performance gave rise to the notion that recovering and performing Bach's music was somehow "national work." In 1865 Wagner would claim that Bach embodied "the history of the German spirit's inmost life." That the man most responsible for the revival of a masterwork of German Protestant culture was himself a converted Jew struck contemporaries as less remarkable than it does us today—a statement that embraces both the great achievements and the disasters of 150 years of German history. In this book, Celia Applegate asks why this particular performance crystallized the hitherto inchoate notion that music was central to Germans' collective identity. She begins with a wonderfully readable reconstruction of the performance itself and then moves back in time to pull apart the various cultural strands that would come together that afternoon in the Singakademie. The author investigates the role played by intellectuals, journalists, and amateur musicians (she is one herself) in developing the notion that Germans were "the people of music." Applegate assesses the impact on music's cultural place of the renewal of German Protestantism, historicism, the mania for collecting and restoring, and romanticism. In her conclusion, she looks at the subsequent careers of her protagonists and the lasting reverberations of the 1829 performance itself.

The return of the Berlin Sing-Akademie s music archive from Kiev in December 2001 represents a significant addition to the Bach Collection of the Berlin Staatsbibliothek. The famous music archive, currently on loan to the music department of the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, was evacuated from Berlin in 1943 and regarded as missing for decades following the invasion by the Red Army. However, in 1999 it was discovered in Kiev by the musicologist Christoph Wolff. The collection of 241 boxes, currently housing the archive in Berlin, comprises several hundred thousand pages of autographs, copies and printed music, many of which are still unknown or hitherto regarded as missing. Of particular value is the Bach Collection which consists of some 26,000 pages and is now accessible for research through the extensive microfiche edition. The archive s Bach Collection contains pieces by 12 composers; all members of the Bach family. It was originally owned by Johann Sebastian Bach, and contains an exquisite collection of calligraphic motets and cantatas by the older Bach generation. Alone Johann Sebastian Bach concerned himself with the musical estate of his family by writing new covers and varying some of the compositions by adding embellishments, even rewriting some of them. He copied the motet Der Gerechte, ob er gleich zu zeitlich stirbt in full. Among the works, known as the Archive of the Elder Bachs, are some unique creations of Baroque vocal music such as the cantata for 22 voices Es erhub sich ein Streit, by Johann Christoph Bach. Far more comprehensive, are the music collections of works by Bach s sons Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach s work in particular, is well represented, as the archive comprises a major part of his musical estate. Carl Philipp Emanuel s late vocal work deserves special mention as it has remained in the dark ever since the composer s death in 1788 and almost nothing is known about it. None of these late works has ever been printed; hardly any survived at all outside the Sing-Akademie archive. Until now, these pieces were regarded as missing, although it was known that more than 20 passions, for example, had previously existed. Now, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach s late religious work is available for general research and presentation in concerts. In addition to passions and oratorios, numerous autographed and authorized copies of cembalo concertos, piano sonatas and chamber music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach number among the highlights of this, the largest part of the Sing-Akademie s Bachiana collection. Covering almost two centuries of German music history, the extraordinary Bachiana series draws to a close with Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst, the only composer among Bach s grandsons. For this microfiche edition, the recently returned original Bach manuscripts were revised and filmed in the highest quality. In addition, they were examined, sorted and arranged in the correct order. Further, the compositions were identified using existing catalogues of works and numbered accordingly. The works were filmed in an order corresponding to rising shelf marks, based on Carl Friedrich Zelter s system, structuring the archive by genres such as oratorios, cantatas and piano concertos. A printed booklet lists works in the order of their filming, providing brief information on the composer, the title of the work, its catalogue number and a reference to the microfiche location. Numerous indexes further facilitate easy access to individual works. This edition of the Sing-Akademie s Bach manuscripts represents an inestimable addition to the Bach Collection already published by K. G. Saur in the series Musikhandschriften aus der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz. At the same time, this is the first edition of a series of microfiche publications encompassing the entire body of this singular music archive.

Of the four sons of J.S. Bach who became composers, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88) was the most prolific, the most original, and the most influential both during and after his lifetime. This first full-length English-language study critically surveys his output, examining not only the famous keyboard sonatas and concertos but also the songs, chamber music, and sacred works, many of which resurfaced in 1999 and have not previously been evaluated. The bookalso outlines the composer's career from his student days at Leipzig and Frankfurt (Oder) to his nearly three decades as court musician to Prussian King Frederick "the Great" and his last twenty years as cantor at Hamburg. Focusing on the composer's choices within his social and historical context, the book shows how C.P.E. Bach deliberately avoided his father's style while adopting the manner of his Berlin colleagues, derived from Italian opera. Anew perspective on the composer emerges from the demonstration that C.P.E. Bach, best known for his virtuoso keyboard works, refashioned himself as a writer of vocal music and popular chamber compositions in response to changingcultural and aesthetic trends. Supplementary texts and musical examples are included on a companion website. David Schulenberg is professor of music at Wagner College and teaches historical performance at the JuilliardSchool. He is the author of The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (University of Rochester Press, 2010).

This book gives an account of the individual works of one of the greatest composers. The first volume of a two-volume study of the music of J. S. Bach covers the earlier part of his composing career, 1695-1717. By studying the music chronologically a coherent picture of the composer's creative development emerges, drawing together all the strands of the individual repertoires (e.g. the cantatas, the organ music, the keyboard music). The volume is divided into two parts, covering the early works and the mature Weimar compositions respectively. Each part deals with four categories of composition in turn: large-scale keyboard works; preludes, fantasias, and fugues; organ chorales; and cantatas. Within each category, the discussion is prefaced by a list of the works to be considered, together with details of their original titles, catalogue numbers, and earliest sources. The study is thus usable as a handbook on Bach's works as well as a connected study of his creative development. As indicated by the subtitle Music to Delight the Spirit,, borrowed from Bach's own title-pages, Richard Jones draws attention to another important aspect of the book: not only is it a study of style and technique but a work of criticism, an analytical evaluation of Bach's music and an appreciation of its extraordinary qualities. It also takes account of the remarkable advances in Bach scholarship that have been made over the last 50 years, including the many studies that have appeared relating to various aspects of Bach's early music, such as the varied influences to which he was subjected and the problematic issues of dating and authenticity that arise. In doing so, it attempts to build up a coherent picture of his development as a creative artist, helping us to understand what distinguishes Bach's mature music from his early works and from the music of his predecessors and contemporaries. Hence we learn why it is that his later works are instantly recognizable as 'Bachian'.
