520 "Every year, Johann Sebastian Bach's major vocal works are
performed to mark liturgical milestones in the Christian
calendar. Written by a renowned Bach scholar, this concise
and accessible book provides an introduction to the music
and cultural contexts of the composer's most beloved
masterpieces, including the Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio,
and St. John Passion. In addition to providing historical
information, each chapter highlights significant aspects--
such as the theology of love--of a particular piece. This
penetrating volume is the first to treat the vocal works
as a whole, showing how the compositions were embedded in
their original performative context within the liturgy as
well as discussing Bach's musical style, from the detailed
level of individual movements to the overarching aspects
of each work. Published in the approach to Easter when
many of these vocal works are performed, this outstanding
volume will appeal to casual concertgoers and scholars
alike." -- Publisher's description
