Book Description
The author's monumental study of Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the great classics of musicology. The author provides in chronological sequence practically everything that is known of the life of J. S. Bach: his ancestors as far back as they can be traced, the musical family of the Bachs, his immediate family, the incidents of his life, his associations, his employers, and the countless occasions when his musical genius emerged. Spitta provides this biographical material in full, with innumerable quotations from primary sources (most of which are nowhere else available): correspondence, family papers and traditions, memoires, diaries, ephemeral publications, periodicals, church records, court and other official records, and so many other sources that this is the richest collection ever made. If one wishes to learn about Bach's life, this is the best coverage. Along with biographical data the author also gives extremely full information about Bach's musical production, with analyses of more than five hundred pieces.

The Vision of the Divine in the Music of Johann Sebastian Bach. A Cultural Analysis of the Late Baroque in Europe

Book Description
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Northern Arizona University (College of arts and letters), language: English, abstract: The statement of this essay is the following: Johann Sebastian Bach’s music is his own religion. It does not matter where it is performed, because it turns every room into a church. His chords build actual cathedrals, and his compositions stream devotion to God and the Divine. Bach is the theologian among classical composers. He examined fundamental questions about life and death, human creation, and the Creator. Without a doubt, it takes a lifetime to be able to interpret and perform Bach’s music, understand it, emotionally experience it, envision the divine and heaven, and to understand life, death, good, and evil as his music presents it.
