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
