Bach the composer, like many of us today, contends with fundamental human concerns such as self-worth, the courage of trust, the acceptance of death, satisfaction with life, the hope found in joy, suffering amidst the essential beauty of the world, the misery of loss, and the majesty of redemption.Trinity VIII through XVI, the second third of the Trinity Sundays and feast days, occurs in late July to early October in the Lutheran liturgical year. The nine topics of the human condition that these Trinity cantatas principally dwell upon encompass (1) mortal hypocrisy, (2) spiritual weakness and failure (3) the destruction of man's innate divinity, (4) defeating unworthiness, (5) the covenant of life, (6) the golden rule, (7) the source of love, (8) mastering troubles, and (9) the alliance of death and unification.There is a profound interrelationship among all art, an interrelationship that is parallel to the natural one our bodies dwell in. Determining, and thus causing, one's own thoughts creates one's own experience of reality; and the more this is so, the more one is free. This is not the Western freedom of choice--where to live, what to read, what to select--but a freedom dependent upon awareness of one's desires and aspirations.It is often difficult for a non-religious thinker in today's world to penetrate feelingly and with conviction and psychological trust into the works of the religious; and it is equally difficult for the religious to put in abeyance their current beliefs in order to let another's religious experience, perhaps even one that is antithetical or contrary to their own, enhance and expand their understanding of how the spiritual and the mystical can work in ways that are valid, even if not, to them, theologically supportable or acceptable.

Johann Sebastian Bach, considered the greatest composer of Western music, explored in his cantatas the manifestations of the human condition. Like many of us, Bach contends with fundamental human concerns such as self-worth, the courage of trust, satisfaction with life, the hope found in joy, suffering amidst the essential beauty of the world, the misery of loss, and the majesty of redemption. The third volume of the Bach Cantatas series is concerned with the cantatas for Trinity XVII to XXVII, which include those for Michaelmas and Reformation Day. The topics that this third section of the Trinity cantatas principally consider include the following (1) the humility of purpose; (2) love divine and mortal; (3) good and evil; (4) the journey of renewal; (5) blind attractions; (6) unbelief and belief; (7) threat and mercy; (8) falsity and friendship; (9) fear and hope; and, (10) the Last Judgment. These 34 cantatas constitute the final section of all the Trinity Sundays and associated feast days, which span October and November in the Lutheran liturgical year. The didactic liturgy then yields to the liturgy of life of Christ, which begins with Advent and concludes at Trinity Sunday.

Bach's cantatas are among the highest achievements of Western musical art, yet studies of the individual cantatas that are both illuminating and detailed are few. In this book, noted Bach expert Eric Chafe combines theological, historical, analytical, and interpretive approaches to the cantatas to offer readers and listeners alike the richest possible experience of these works. A respected theorist of seventeenth-century music, Chafe is sensitive to the composer's intentions and to the enduring and universal qualities of the music itself. Concentrating on a small number of representative cantatas, mostly from the Leipzig cycles of 1723-24 and 1724-25, and in particular on Cantata 77, Chafe shows how Bach strove to mirror both the dogma and the mystery of religious experience in musical allegory. Analyzing Bach Cantatas offers valuable information on the theological relevance of the structure of the liturgical year for the design and content of these works, as well as a survey of the theories of modality that inform Bach's compositional style. Chafe demonstrates that, while Bach certainly employed "pictorialism" and word-painting in his compositions, his method of writing music was a more complex amalgam of theological concepts and music theory. Regarding the cantatas as musical allegories that reflect the fundamental tenets of Lutheran theology as established during Bach's lifetime, Chafe synthesizes a number of key musical and theological ideas to illuminate the essential character of these great works. This unique and insightful book offers an essential methodology for understanding one of the central bodies of work in the Western musical canon. It will prove indispensable for all students and scholars of Bach's work, musicology, and theological studies.

This is the only English translation of this important book by the world's most distinguished Bach scholar. This work is widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the Bach cantatas. It begins with a historical survey of the seventeenth-century background to the cantatas, and performance practice issues. The core of the book is a work-by-work study in which each cantata in turn is represented by its libretto, a synopsis of its movements, and a detailed analytical commentary. This format makes it extremely useful as a reference work for anyone listening to, performing in, or studying any of the Bach cantatas. All the cantata librettos are given in German-English parallel text. For the English edition the text has been carefully revised to bring it up to date, taking account of recent Bach scholarship.

Bach the composer, like many of us today, contends with fundamental human concerns such as self-worth, the courage of trust, the acceptance of death, satisfaction with life, the hope found in joy, suffering amidst the essential beauty of the world, the misery of loss, and the majesty of redemption.Trinity I through VII, the first third of the Trinity Sundays and feast days, occurs in June and July of the Lutheran liturgical year. This part of the ecclesiastical year also includes the Feast of St. John the Baptist and the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Because of the latter I also include a chapter on the Magnificat.The five topics of the human condition that these Trinity cantatas principally dwell upon encompass first, the relationship of money to morality; second, the linkage between compassion and individual salvation; third, the influence of condemnation upon the sense of redemption; fourth, the correlation of identity and the need to understand otherness; and fifth, how the sacred is invested in the secular and are, thus, identical.There is a profound interrelationship among all art, an interrelationship that is parallel to the natural one our bodies dwell in. Determining, and thus causing, one's own thoughts creates one's own experience of reality; and the more this is so, the more one is free.

The Easter, Ascension, and Christmas oratorios are covered iin great detail. The text includes biographical information whenever relevant. An appendix lists the three cantata types (free--that is, based directly on the Bible and treated by Bach as he wished for choir and soloists; solo; and chorale) by their BWV (Bachwerke Verzeichnis) numbers. The general index also includes names of librettists and places involved in the writing or performing of the cantatas.

The reflections in this book consider the relevance of the religious considerations, both philosophical and didactic, and the artistry enabling them, in the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach is one of mankind's greatest artists. Though we today are distant by three centuries from the religion of the past, each of us is, nonetheless, a citizen of one of the modern societies, and is, whether a believer or not, one who can find guidance from the great artistry of mankind; just as the congregants Bach spoke to through his music, though they seldom were musically literate, were intimately familiar with its religious context, and with the importance of how this context informed and guided the daily life of the citizenry they were part of.
