SIGNED: Ron James Anderson 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Making it through a doctoral program doesn't happen through the efforts of just one person, and I have many people to thank for this rare privilege. My DMA committee has shown a constant willingness to expedite all the processes involved, and have done so with enthusiasm and grace. Lyneen Elmore went out of her way on many occasions to assist me with paperwork requirements, and was always a pleasure to work with. I wish to express my profound appreciation to my major professor, Dr. Woods, for his patience and belief in my musical ability, even when my playing didn't always offer evidence of it. Dr. Fan and Professor Gibson have likewise shown remarkable supportiveness and affirmation throughout my studies at University of Arizona. My thanks go out to Dr. Zdechlik for writing letters of recommendation and for showing me that I still could learn much about teaching piano. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to my friend Christine Barden who, in our long friendship, has seen me through several stages of my life and musical career. I am grateful to my friend and colleague, Dr. David Clemensen, for his friendship, his musical expertise, and his continual interest and involvement in my life, doctoral studies, and career. I give special thanks my parents and siblings for building my foundation as a human being; we were always taught right from wrong, but were also encouraged to individually explore our own paths. I want to express my deep appreciation to my wife, Irene, for her unwavering support (financial and otherwise), without whose help this degree would scarcely have been possible for me. It was her vision and drive (and her car) that originally brought us here from California to pursue our doctorates, and I am very blessed to have her in my life. I thank my two daughters, April and Euri, who each in their own ways have been sources of great inspiration to me, and who also shared with us in this great adventure. It is to God that I owe my deepest gratitude. He has given me life and a purpose for living it. In times when I think I've figured out my life, he interrupts it with a new plan; and when I feel that nothing is going right, he shows me that everything is in his hands, and that he will take care of me. The Lutheran chorale, Auf meinen lieben Gott, sums up my sentiment well: 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. 8 LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES .................................................................................... 9 ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... 17 CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................... 19 CHAPTER II: BACKGROUND ..................................................................................... 26 Buxtehude's Life .................................................................................................. 26 Buxtehude and Rhetoric ....................................................................................... 28 CHAPTER III: RHETORIC AND MUSIC ..................................................................... 30 Rhetoric and Music in Academia ......................................................................... 30 History of Rhetoric and Music ............................................................................. 31 Ethos, Logos, Pathos ........................................................................................... 33 Form and Expression in Speech and Music ......................................................... 36 CHAPTER IV: ANALYTICAL PRINCIPLES ............................................................... 39 CHAPTER V: CHORALE SETTINGS .......................................................................... 43 Chorale Prelude: Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, BuxWV 198 ........................... 44 Chorale Fantasia: Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BuxWV 223 ................ 49 Chorale Variations: Auf meinen lieben Gott, BuxWV 179 .................................. 54 Allemande ................................................................................................ 57 Double ...................................................................................................... 58 Sarabande ................................................................................................ 59 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS – Continued Courante .................................................................................................. 61 Gigue ........................................................................................................ 64 CHAPTER VI: VARIATIONS ........................................................................................ 66 La Capricciosa, BuxWV 250 .............................................................................. 66 CHAPTER VII: SUITES ................................................................................................. 75 Suite in D minor (d'Amour), BuxWV 233 ........................................................... 76 Allemande d'Amour .................................................................................. 78 Courante .................................................................................................. 80 Sarabande d'Amour ................................................................................. 82 Sarabande ................................................................................................ 86 Gigue ........................................................................................................ 87 CHAPTER VIII: RHETORICAL SCHEMES FOR THE FUGUE ................................. 89 Canzona in D minor, BuxWV 168 ...................................................................... 91 CHAPTER IX: PRAELUDIA AND THE CLASSICAL DISPOSITIO .......................... 98 Praeludium in G minor, BuxWV 163 ................................................................ 100 Exordium ................................................................................................ 105 Narratio ................................................................................................. 107 Propositio .............................................................................................. 109 Confirmatio ............................................................................................ 110 Confutatio .............................................................................................. 113 Peroratio ................................................................................................ 115 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS – Continued CHAPTER X: CONCLUSION ..................................................................................... 119 Chorale Settings ................................................................................................. 119

  • 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.

  • LUTHERAN Bach Cantata Sunday
    LUTHERAN ACADEMY & FESTIVAL Bach Cantata Sunday The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost | Sunday, 14 July 2013 Service of Holy Communion Bach Cantata Sunday + Eighth Sunday after Pentecost + 14 July 2013 — 10:30AM Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival Today’s Texts It is easy to miss the shocking nature of this morning's parable if we think that this story only teaches us to imitate the Samaritan. The parable says so much more about God, our relationship to God, and the lengths to which God will go to reach out to us. Through the image of the Samaritan, Jesus lifts up a surprising rescuer as an image of our God who relentlessly cares for those in need. Could it be that we are meant to identify not with the Samaritan or even the lawyer to whom Jesus speaks the parable, but rather with the man who is hopeless and left for dead? Could it be that Christ is the good Samaritan who embraces us with the tender compassion of God? Jesus is not just giving us a comfortable morality tale reminding us to be nice, helpful, generous people. Instead Jesus is proclaiming the good news of the kingdom. God's grace comes to us through the cross, and our baptism into Jesus' death and resurrection. God's grace comes to us even—and especially—when we are at our worst, left for dead, bleeding and dying in life's many ditches. Even when we cannot or will not cry out, mercy and grace come into our lives through Jesus. This powerful message of Christ's death and resurrection is reinforced in Bach’s Cantata #4, Christ lag in Todesbanden.

Two grants from the German Academic Exchange Service allowed me to spend considerable time in Germany. The first enabled me to attend a summer seminar at the Universität Regensburg. This experience greatly improved my German language skills and kindled my deep love of Bavaria. The second allowed me to spend a year in various archives throughout Bavaria collecting the raw material that serves as the basis for this dissertation. For this support, I am eternally grateful. The generosity of the German Academic Exchange Service is matched only by that of the German Historical Institute. The GHI funded two short-term trips to Germany that proved critically important.

  • Reprints Burning River Baroque: “A Voice in the Wilderness” at Trinity
    reprints Burning River Baroque: “A Voice in the Wilderness” at Trinity Lutheran Church, Ohio City (October 17) by Daniel Hathaway On Friday, October 17, Burning River Baroque — Peter Lekx, violin, Malina Rauschenfels, soprano and cello & Paula Maust, organ — presented the first of three performances of sacred German baroque music in an especially appropriate venue. Trinity Lutheran Church, a 19th century Gothic edifice in Ohio City, was built by a German congregation and houses a distinguished 1955 Rudolph von Beckerath neo-baroque organ. The program, dubbed “A Voice in the Wilderness” after a line in Telemann’s cantata, Die Kinder des Höchsten, also included music by such well-known composers as Dieterich Buxtehude, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Kuhnau and Heinrich Ignatz Franz von Biber, plus one obscure Dutch figure, Jacob Klein. In the small world of eighteenth-century German protestant church music, most of these composers crossed paths. Buxtehude mentored Bach, who succeeded Kuhnau in Leipzig — winning that post when Telemann became unavailable. Biber, the only non-Lutheran, worked in Catholic Austria. Klein seems to have slid onto this program of sacred music because his cello sonatas are in the “da chiesa” style. Paula Maust opened the concert with Buxtehude’s Praeludium in C, also known as the Prelude, Fugue and Chaconne, a work that departs from the composer’s “fantastic” or improvisatory style in the direction of three more balanced “movements.” Maust played it gracefully and with an unusual sense of intimacy. Performing from the organ loft, Rauschenfels appeared first as a vocalist in a bright performance of Buxtehude’s Singet dem Herrn adorned with a lively violin obbligato by Lekx, then took up her cello for Klein’s Sonata No.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. PREFACE This thesis is the result of a two-year study of the literary- rhetorical tradition and its relationship to music, a relationship which ultimately- led to the Baroque doctrine of the affections. Rhetoric, in the ancient and non-pe jorativs sense, is a subject about which most per­ sons in this country know very little ; in modern times it appears to be reserved for classical scholars. A wealth of information is available, however, and in the first two chapters of this study an attempt is made to capsulize this history of rhetoric for the non-rhetorician and especial­ ly the musician.
