Revision Notes: Vol.1 (Bach)



Bach’s Ein Feste Burg:
All Mvts.


BACKGROUND

The cantata & its development:

- Cantata = multi-movement work, for one or more voices, with an instrumental accompaniment
↪ From about 1620, most important form of vocal music of Baroque period outside opera and oratorio
↪ Written often using both sacred and secular texts
↪ In Italy almost every composer of standing cultivated the form
↪ Typically grew from a short piece of recitative + aria accompanied only by continuo into a chain of
recitatives and da capo arias for 1 or 2 voices

- In Germany in Baroque period, canta became associated with Lutheran Church as a
multi-movement piece of liturgical music
↪ Lutheran Church = early protestant denomination, whose services broadly followed
the Catholic Mass, except in German
↪ Lutheran Cantata performed after Gospel reading within service every Sunday
↪ Prior to around 1700, sacred Lutheran music had been based largely on 12th Century music with
biblical text → Erdmann Numeister encouraged absorption of secular music into the church service
↪ Bach developed notion of the chorale-cantata, in which inner movements of recitatives, arias and
ensembles are bookended by an opening choral fantasy on the opening stanza of a hymn and a closing
chorale, harmonisation of a German hymn tune in four-part chordal homophony
↪ e.g Late German Cantata - Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (first performed between 1727-1731)
→ chorale cantata, in which both text + music are based on an earlier hymn (chorale)
written by Martin Luther
↪ Martin Luther’s chorale = his most famous of his compositions
→ signature tune of reformatory Germany


J.S Bach & the late Baroque style:

- Bach’s musical style is indicative of the late Baroque elevated to its highest level
→ also the result of a number of stylistic influences
- Lutheran German cantata had begun to be composed by a number of Baroque north German
organists/composers prior to Bach
↪ Earlier cantatas were similar in nature but Bach developed the genre into a more substantial extensive form
↪ Bach famously drew relatively little influence from composers outside of Germany
→ exception to this: Vivaldi, also composed cantatas primarily secular + tended to be smaller
in scale, solo arias + recitatives
- Typical Baroque features can be seen in the piece’s ‘chorale cantata’ structure:
Use of cantus firmus, dense intricate fugal counterpoint, cantionale-style chorale textures of the closing
movement, functional tonality + harmony, dramatic harmonic tools: chromatic chords + suspensions, melodic
melisma, combined with orthodox devices such as ornamental sequential writing + the rhythmic moto perpetuo of
mvt. II
↪ Work ∴ demonstrates German Cantata genre was ideal for Bach to portray his late Baroque style
→ vernacular containing many features typical in similar sacred vocal works of the time, but
elevated to new levels of profounding
