  • Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion from 1725: a Liturgical Interpretation
    Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion from 1725: A Liturgical Interpretation MARKUS RATHEY When we listen to Johann Sebastian Bach’s vocal works today, we do this most of the time in a concert. Bach’s passions and his B minor Mass, his cantatas and songs are an integral part of our canon of concert music. Nothing can be said against this practice. The passions and the Mass have been a part of the Western concert repertoire since the 1830s, and there may not have been a “Bach Revival” in the nineteenth century (and no editions of Bach’s works for that matter) without Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s concert performance of the St. Matthew Passion in the Berlin Singakademie in 1829.1 However, the original sitz im leben of both large-scaled works like his passions, and his smaller cantatas, is the liturgy. Most of his vocal works were composed for use during services in the churches of Leipzig. The pieces unfold their meaning in the context of the liturgy. They engage in a complex intertextual relationship with the liturgical texts that frame them, and with the musical (and theological) practices of the liturgical year of which they are a part. The following essay will outline the liturgical context of the second version of the St. John Passion (BWV 245a) Bach performed on Good Friday 1725 in Leipzig. The piece is a revision of the familiar version of the passion Bach had composed the previous year. The 1725 version of the passion was performed by the Yale Schola Cantorum in 2006, and was accompanied by several lectures I gave in New Haven and New York City.

  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

    Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Johann Jacob Van Niekerk A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Giselle Wyers, Chair Geoffrey Boers Shannon Dudley Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2014 Johann Jacob Van Niekerk University of Washington Abstract Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Giselle Wyers Associate Professor of Choral Music and Voice The themes of suffering and social conscience permeate the history of the sung passion genre: composers have strived for centuries to depict Christ’s suffering and the injustice of his final days. During the past eighty years, the definition of the genre has expanded to include secular protagonists, veiled and not-so-veiled socio- political commentary and increased discussion of suffering and social conscience as socially relevant themes. This dissertation primarily investigates David Lang’s Pulitzer award winning the little match girl passion, premiered in 2007. David Lang’s setting of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” interspersed with text from the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) has since been performed by several ensembles in the United States and abroad, where it has evoked emotionally visceral reactions from audiences and critics alike.

  • Cantors, Schoolmasters, and Directors of Music: New Research on Bach’S Students
    Understanding Bach, 10, 161–170 © Bach Network UK 2015 Report Cantors, Schoolmasters, and Directors of Music: New Research on Bach’s Students BERND KOSKA The school and church of St Thomas’s in Leipzig were the focal point for Johann Sebastian Bach’s music in the 27 years from 1723 to 1750. Bach had to provide a cantata every Sunday. This involved the St Thomas School students, the Thomaner,1 and the musical preparation for it was part of the normal school timetable. Bach also gave private instrumental and composition lessons to the most talented, and some of the boys even helped him by copying the instrumental or vocal parts for his newly-composed cantatas. Since the Thomaner were closer to the composer and his music than the majority of his contemporaries, their lives and experiences reveal some important facts about their great teacher. To date, scholarship has concentrated on the Thomaner, who have been identified as copyists and scribes in extant original performing materials of Bach’s church music.2 Some of these musically talented students were assigned the role of prefect, which gave them responsibility for conducting one of the four choirs, or Kantoreien, or even substituting Bach during the main cantata performances on Sundays. We know too that some students were later employed in central German towns as cantors or organists, like Bach himself. On the whole, though, until recently very little was known about the later careers of the Thomaner, who attended St Thomas School during Bach’s 27-year tenure as Thomaskantor. In a research project (January 2012–December 2014) entitled ‘Bachs Thomaner’, supported by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, the Leipzig Bach-Archiv has systematically searched the archives for original documents and biographical information about the lives and later careers of Bach’s 300 Thomaner.

  • Ihr Augen Weint!’ Intersubjective Tears in the Sentimental Concert Hall
    Understanding Bach , 2, 77-94 © Bach Network UK 2007 ‘Ihr Augen weint!’ Intersubjective Tears in the Sentimental Concert Hall ISABELLA VAN ELFEREN The eighteenth century has often been referred to as ‘the weeping century’. 1 Abundant tears are shed in both secular and religious literature and music of the mid-eighteenth century. Crying was a social activity in the sentimental culture of the time. By shedding tears in public, the emotional soul demonstrated its sensibility to its peers.
