- Three well-known Bach scholars explore the question of where and how one might locate the emotional potential of J. S. Bach’s music, drawing on historical methods and discourses as well as on insights from current performance practice. Under the heading of ‘affect’, the emotional qualities of Bach’s music have been a topic of sustained scholarly discussion since at least the early twentieth century. Arguably that discussion has advanced only haltingly since George Buelow’s critique of the traditional Affektenlehre back in the 1980s. Meanwhile, over the past thirty years or so historians have increasingly embraced the emotional dimension of past events as a productive new area of inquiry, alerting us not only to the fact that emotions and their expression are historically contingent, but that these affective forces played a much more vital part in shaping historical realities than has often been acknowledged. The panel members propose several new, historically grounded approaches to the question of emotion in Bach’s music, building on some of the frameworks developed in recent emotions history. Conversely, they consider what the study of music (and Bach’s music in particular) might fruitfully contribute to the writing of emotional histories.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this inaugural issue of Discussing Bach panel members propose several new, historically grounded approaches to the question of emotion in Bach’s music, building on some of the frameworks developed in recent emotions history. Conversely, they consider what the study of music (and Bach’s music in particular) might fruitfully contribute to the writing of emotional histories. Each participant presents a short position statement on an aspect of the topic which is then briefly discussed by the others. Bettina Varwig begins by reflecting on the place of music within the history of emotions and the ways in which new approaches to Bach’s music can reshape certain key narratives about early modern affect. Ruth Tatlow then explores the role that musical proportions were understood to play in generating emotional response, illustrating her points from the history of resonating numbers and resonating form. Finally, John Butt considers the emotional content in Bach’s music in terms of concepts of embodiment, specifically the ways in which dance allusions are nested in the music on an astonishing variety of levels.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is the third issue of the Bach Network multimedia open access publication, edited by Ruth Tatlow and Barbara M. Reul.This issue is about the competition that eventually led to J.S. Bach's appointment as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. But what happened before he was chosen? Who did the town council approach first, and why? And why did the forerunners decline? Four experts, Steven Zohn (Telemann), Michael Maul (Bach), Barbara Reul (Fasch), and Ursula Kramer (Graupner), use latest source studies and ideas to discuss how the story unfolded and ideas about other possible outcomes. You can watch the thirty-minute video (with English subtitles) on YouTube and at https://bachnetwork.org/discussing-bach where you can also read and download all the documentation. Two new articles, by Zohn and Reul, were commissioned especially for this issue. This open access publication is free to download and share with colleagues, music lovers and to use in teaching where appropriate. The first two issues of Discussing Bach are on the topics of ‘Bach and Emotion’ (2020) and ‘Bach and Jesus (2021),

Bach Cantata Texts, Poetic Techniques, and Meanings
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Discussing Bach. - 2633-9951. ; 5, s. i-viii-1-21
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The discussion in this issue was first presented as a round table session at the Leipzig Bachfest in June 2022, as part of our session ‘Bach Network in Dialogue’. The aim of the Leipzig presentation was to give a taster of the format of our biennial Johann Sebastian Bach Dialogue Meetings. It included a shorter version of the discussion recorded here as ‘Bach Cantata Texts, Poetic Techniques, and Meanings’. When the two presenters took their places on the platform before the Bachfest audience in June, neither knew what the other would say. Michael Maul was to respond ex tempore to the two talks, while the moderator, Larry Molinaro, was to introduce the session and field the public questions. When time constraints forced the conversations to a premature close, we realised that this wide-ranging topic would make a valuable contribution to Discussing Bach.

Bach in the World: Music, Society, and Representation in Bach's Cantatas by Markus Rathey
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Music and Letters. - 0027-4224 .- 1477-4631. ; 105:1, s. 123-126

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Markus Rathey's aim in this volume is to emphasize the unity between sacred and secular in Bach’s society, and to ‘reconstruct the “social energy” the cantatas had in their original performance contexts’ (p. 9). He concludes: ‘This energy is not necessarily positive. Most of us will disagree with the concept of divinely ordained government … we cringe at the depiction of misogynistic stereotypes … and yet taking offence with them is part of the creative act of listening today’ (p. 14). The six central chapters consist of three previously published articles and three newly written. Framed by a short contextual ‘Introduction’, and an even shorter ‘Epilogue’, the reader gains a progressive understanding of the social confines within which Bach composed his non-liturgical cantatas.
