  • The Munich Bach Choir

    The Munich Bach Choir

    The Munich Bach Choir “… modern Bach …” / or / “… which wondrous transformation that dignified Munich Bach Choir is currently undergoing …” (Rondo 2008) The Munich Bach Choir, founded in 1954 by Karl Richter, soon gained international renown, particularly for performing the works of Johann Sebastian Bach – both live onstage during major international concert tours (be it in Paris, Moscow, Tokyo or New York) or as documented by numerous recordings. After Richter’s death in 1981 – Leonard Bernstein conducted the memorial concert in his honour – Hanns-Martin Schneidt took over the baton between 1984 and 2001. He began to expand the choir’s repertoire and continued the by now traditional conert tours. The following years saw the choir collaborating with several guest conductors, predominantly Baroque specialists such as Peter Schreier, Bruno Weil and Ralf Otto. A new era began in 2005, when Hansjörg Albrecht was appointed as new Musical Director – “a godsend for the Munich Bach Choir”, as Süddeutsche Zeitung phrased it. Under his leadership the ensemble developed a new artistic profile and gained a clear and transparent choral sound that many critics since have highlighted. Agile, animated performances of Bach’s works, inspired by historically informed practices, remain a key focus of the choir’s schedule. Unusual program concepts and a steadily expanding repertoire have become additional trademarks in recent years, marked by collaborations with the ballet companies of John Neumeier or Marguerite Donlon and with acclaimed soloists such as Marlis Petersen, Simone Kermes, Klaus Florian Vogt, or Michael Volle. The Munich Bach Choir is regularly working with its traditional artistic partners, the Munich Bach Orchestra and Bach Collegium München, but has also teamed up with other notable European orchestras.

    Music and the Transhuman Ear: Ultrasonics, Material Bodies, and the Limits of Sensation

    Music and the Transhuman Ear: Ultrasonics, Material Bodies, and the Limits of Sensation “We favor morphological freedom – the right to modify and enhance one’s body, cognition and emotions.” (Transhumanist declaration, 2012)1 “I am apt to think, if we knew what it was to be an angel for one hour, we should return to this world, though it were to sit on the brightest throne in it, with vastly more loathing and reluctance than we would now descend into a loathsome dungeon or sepulchre.” (George Berkeley, 1732)2 PART I The materialist turn When Voyager probes 1 and 2 left the earth’s orbit in 1977, the committee tasked with assembling cultural artifacts followed scientist Lewis Thomas’ advice to include recordings of J. S. Bach among the many musical samples. This, it seems, was the best way to open a conversation with an unknown non-human interlocutor, wherein exchanges may be spaced hundreds of years apart. Many styles and genres were committed to the golden discs, but Thomas worried that by broadcasting Bach, the human race might be guilty of bragging to aliens: “we would be bragging, of course,” he admitted in 1972, “but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance.”3 His statement makes telling assumptions. To take one example, the three-voice C-major fugue Glenn Gould recorded (WTC, Book II) matches humans’ ability at auditory streaming, which, as David Huron has shown, tends to max out at around three streams, after which “confusions [over contrapuntal lines] become commonplace.”4 It would seem that part of the effect of Bach’s 1 Various, “Transhumanist Declaration,” The Transhumanist Reader, ed.

    Performance in Theory and in Practice: Helmuth Rilling's Interpretations of Bach's B Minor Mass

    77 Performance in Theory and in Practice: Helmuth Rilling’s Interpretations of Bach’s B minor Mass 1 Uri Golomb Abstract The conductor Helmuth Rilling documented his views on Bach’s B minor Mass in two different media: in addition to his three recordings, he wrote a monograph on this work, containing detailed analyses and performance instructions for each movement. Surprisingly, the recording that seems most consistent with the conductor’s verbally-stated views is his 1999 version – the one most chronologically distant from the book. In the book, Rilling repeatedly exhorts performers to trace the ebb-and-flow of tension within the music. His earlier performances, however, often display an internal rigidity which belies this ideal. This disparity might represent a tension between Rilling’s aesthetics and his adoption, in the 1960s and 1970s, of a performance style better-suited for the projection of strict Unity of Affect, reflecting the influence of several of Rilling’s mentors and erstwhile colleagues. In subsequent years, Rilling and his ensembles have gradually adopted a more locally flexible performance style, reflecting, in part, the influence of period-instrument performances. The comparison between the book and the recordings provides a fascinating case study on the relationship between a performer’s statements and practices; it also provides insights into how the ostensibly anti-Romantic influence of historical performance has increased the expressive options for Bach performance. 78 The conductor and scholar Helmuth Rilling, one of the most prominent interpreters of Bach’s music in the 20 th (and early 21 st ) century, provided posterity with several interpretations of Bach’s B-minor Mass, BWV 232, in two distinct media.

The Pedal was enlarged in 1935 by Hugo Distler, and since the most recent refurbishing (Hillebrand 1977/78) the organ has contained 31 stops over three manuals and ORGAN pedal. It is in the old choir pitch (Chorton) and tuned to the Werckmeister tem- perament.

    A Conductor’s Guide to J. S. Bach’s Quinquagesima Cantatas A document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2012 by Jung Jin Baek B.M., Presbyterian College & Theological Seminary, 2001 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2008 Committee Members: Earl Rivers, D.M.A. (Chair) Matthew Peattie, Ph.D. Brett L. Scott, D.M.A. ABSTRACT Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantatas occupy a significant portion of his output. This document focuses on his four cantatas written for the Quinquagesima Sunday in Leipzig. The first two cantatas (BWV 22 and BWV 23), which were audition pieces for the cantor position in Leipzig (1723), were performed again in the following year as part of his first cantata cycle. The other two surviving cantatas for this Sunday (BWV 127 and BWV 159) are found in his second (1724–25) and fourth (1728–29) cantata cycles. Not only for his audition, but also for the special context of the Quinquagesima Sunday, (the last major religious musical event in Leipzig before the Passion at the Good Friday Vespers), Bach carefully constructed these cantatas to display his considerable musical ability, his attention to text expression, and his knowledge of liturgical and theological issues for the preparation of the Lenten season. This document will provide a conductor’s guide to preparing and conducting these cantatas and examine how Bach achieves his goals of musical and liturgical function within the Lutheran tradition.
