Description

'Dürr writes illuminatingly and perceptively on topics such as the theology of St John's Gospel and its relationship to Bach's setting, questions of overall design and tonal architecture' -Early Music'Presents in convenient form many of the findings of Bach scholarship on the genesis and transmission of the work' -Early Music'If it is reliable information on this remarkable work that you want, Dürr's study is the obvious place to start. Bach could have no more faithful servant' -John Butt, Times Literary SupplementThis book (published in German by Bärenreiter in 1988 and now available in English translation for the first time) is a comprehensive guide to the genesis, transmission, structure, meaning, and performance considerations of Bach's St John Passion. One of Bach's most fascinating works, its text demonstrates a profound understanding of St John's Gospel. The musical design of the choruses with their numerous interrelationships is quite unique and demands some explanation. The fact that the Passion exists in four different versions leads Dürr to ask which changes were intentional and which were the result of practical constraints or of orders issued by church authorities.
