Product Description
CHOICE
"This study assesses Schoenberg's creative impulse and makes it understandable for perhaps the first time. Simms's seamless blend of an awareness of the composer's life with concise abstractions of his theories, supported by brief examples, makes this book a true achievement, one worthy of not only the scholar and student, but the lover of modern music as well"
Review
Chafe is a formidable music theorist ... Inalyzing Bach Cantatas is a provocative and challenging book, an impressive blend of historical methodology and practical demonstration. Its author has done much to reinvigorate the search for meaning in Bach. (Music and Letters )
Chafe is obligingly open to a wide range of readership, intending that the book should bring more music lovers to appreciate Bach and his music ... Chafe alerts us to a side to the historical Bach that we might otherwise miss. (Early Music History )
In its densely packed, often densely argued, pages Analysing Bach's Cantatas presents a cogent, all-embracing method of inquiry into one of the richest legacies of the western European classical tradition. The book and its multi-disciplinary approach stand as a monument to modern Bach scholarship, with which Chafe opens many windows of understanding on the composer's music. (Early Music Today )
Analyzing Bach Cantatas must be mandatory reading for anyone wishing to achieve an understanding of the importance of Lutheran theology and hermeneutics in Bach's cantatas, be they student, scholar or simply the listener seeking a better understanding of these unique works. (Early Music Review )
