  • Travel Information Bach by Bike 2021
    Bach by Bike 2021 New: bookable only via Bach by Bike! EXCLUSIVE BIKE JOURNEY ON THE TRAIL OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH TRAVEL INFORMATION 2021 Dear friends of music and cycling, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) lived all his life in what is today Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. As a world-famous composer, it is extraordinary that his life and work took place almost entirely within this limited area. Mareike Neumann and Anna-Luise Oppelt, two young Bach- and bike-enthusiasts, took the opportunity to develop a unique journey from Bach's birthplace Eisenach to his place of death, Leipzig. Come with us and “experience” Bach by Bike! The tour includes not only Eisenach and Leipzig, but also Mühlhausen, Wechmar, the Bach family's ancestral hometown, and Gotha, Ohrdruf, Arnstadt, Dornheim, Erfurt, Weimar, Naumburg, Weißenfels, Halle and Köthen. On long-distance bike paths, you will discover the charming landscapes of the Thuringian Forest, Ilm Valley, the wine-producing area Saale/Unstrut and the Saxonian Burgenland. You will explore museums, memorials and many original, preserved places, such as Dornheim Church, Bach's wedding church. In addition, you will meet people who, often on voluntary basis, protect Bach's heritage. Guided tours of organs, exclusive visits, intimate concerts and - for those who enjoy singing – sight-reading of Bach chorales during breaks will round off the trip. In 2021 every tour includes a festival; you will listen to top-class concerts in the end or during the tour (Bachfest Leipzig, Bach Biennale Weimar, Bach places of MDR Music Summer, Köthen Autumn Festival - Köthener Herbst).

  • Ambitious Plans and Musical Splendor: Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1730S
    2008 october vol xvii · no 2 music · worship · arts Prismyale institute of sacred music common ground for scholarship and practice Ambitious Plans and Musical Splendor: Johann Sebastian Bach in the 1730s Markus Rathey During the early 1730s Johann Sebastian Bach was occupied with two seemingly unrelated projects. One involved the electoral court in Dresden. Bach was dissatisfied with his position as cantor at St. Thomas’s in Leipzig, which he had held at this point for about a decade. He tried to convince the Court to award him the prestigious title of “Court composer.” To that end, between 1732 and 1735 he composed at least eight cantatas for the court in the Saxon capital Dresden: examples include Schleicht, spielende Wellen (Glide, playful waves, BWV 206) for the birthday of the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland August III; the “Hercules-Cantata” Laßt uns sorgen (Let us take care, BWV 213) for the birth of Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony; and a cantata for the birthday of the wife of August III, Maria Josepha, Tönet ihr Pauken! (Sound, you drums, BWV 214). The sheer number of cantatas shows how desperately Bach wanted to impress the court in Dresden. The second large scale project Bach pursued in the first half of the 1730s can be called “The Oratorio Project.” During this period Bach composed three large scale works he labeled “Oratorios.” He had already composed large scale vocal works in the 1720s; for example his St. Matthew Passion from 1727 and his St. John Passion in its early version from 1724 and its interesting revision from 1725 (which was recently recorded by the Yale Schola Cantorum).

    BACH and TUNING By Johnny Reinhard © 2009 Bust of Johann Sebastian Bach in a small park in Anhalt-Cöthen Photo: Johnny Reinhard Dedicated to Ted Coons Palace entrance in Anhalt-Cöthan Photo: Johnny Reinhard Bach and Tuning by Johnny Reinhard © 2009 212-517-3550 / [email protected] www.afmm.org American Festival of Microtonal Music 318 East 70th Street, Suite 5-FW New York, New York 10021 USA 2 FOREWORD A new Baroque chromaticism was born in the late 17th century, and Johann Sebastian Bach was its master. Following the needs and interests of organists, and as a natural consequence of the obsolescence of meantone, an original tuning emerged. Keyboardists have since transitioned from supporting artists into virtuosic soloists. The irregular-sized steps of well temperament, not equal temperament, was the compromise entered upon to cement chromaticism to the Baroque. Among the heroes in this endeavor is Andreas Werckmeister, the pioneer who ushers in the concept of a closed circle of twelve major and twelve minor keys in music. Other protagonists include: Johann Gottfried Walther, Johann Philipp Kirnberger, Princess Anna Amalia van Preussen, and Johann Nicolaus Forkel. Irregularly shaped scales provide resources for a different narrative, a catalyst to perceiving a missing dimension in Johann Sebastian Bach’s music. The aim here is to return lost color to Bach’s music which has been stripped away by equal temperament hegemony. Finally, there is good reason to re-record the masterworks. 3 Foreword 3 CONTENTS 4 Chapter 1: Johann Gottfried Walther 7 Walther was like a brother to J.S. Bach throughout his lifetime, an eyewitness to his cousin’s musical world, and author of the first music lexicon of the German Baroque.
