THE MUSIC OF CARL PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH DAVID SCHULENBERG

Of the four sons of J. S. Bach who became composers, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714–88) was the most prolific, the most original, and the most influential both during and after his lifetime. This first full-length English-language study critically surveys his output, examining not only the famous keyboard sonatas and concertos but also the songs (lieder), chamber music, and sacred works. The book also outlines the composer’s career from his student days at Leipzig and Frankfurt (Oder) to his nearly three decades as court musician to Prussian King Frederick “the Great” and his last twenty years as cantor at Hamburg.

THE MUSIC OF WILHELM FRIEDEMANN BACH DAVID SCHULENBERG

The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach examines the work of J. S. Bach’s first-born son, and identifies the unique features of Friedemann’s music that make it worth studying and performing. Includes detailed discussions of all Friedemann’s extant works: the virtuoso sonatas and concertos for keyboard instruments, the extraordinary chamber compositions (especially for flute), and the hitherto-neglected vocal music, including sacred cantatas and a remarkable work in honor of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Numerous musical examples provide glimpses of many little-known compositions, including a concerto ignored by previous students of Friedemann’s music, here restored to his list of works.

A kind of missionary venture, which [Schulenberg] fulfills with admirable success. . . . Refreshing in the self-conscious avoidance of evolutionary narratives. . . . A great step-or indeed jump-forward in the reception of Friedemann’s music. Written in a thoroughly enjoyable, elegant style, and illustrated with copious music examples, it carries the reader away.

THE ESSENTIAL BACH CHOIR ANDREW PARROTTWhat type of choir did Bach have in mind as he created his cantatas, Passions and Masses? How many singers were at his disposal in Leipzig, and in what ways did he deploy them in his own music? Seeking to understand the medium of Bach’s choral output, Andrew Parrott investigates a wide range of sources: Bach’s own writings, and the scores and

parts he used in performance, but also a variety of theoretical, pictorial and archival documents, together with the musical testimony of the composer’s forerunners and contemporaries. His research convincingly supports his radical conclusion that the essential Bach choir was in fact an expert vocal quartet (or quintet), whose members were also responsible for all solos and duets.List Price: $34.95, Offer Price: $20.97; December 2012 ISBN: 9780851157863 28 b/w illus.; 240 pp, paper

BACH’S CHANGING WORLD Voices in the Community Edited by CAROL K. BARONThe Leipzig middle-class evolved with the cooperation and gratitude of an extravagant, greedy, and disinterested absolutist ruler. Bach’s Changing World documents how this community and other German communities responded to a variety of religious, social, and political demands that emerged

during the years of the composer’s lifetime. An accepted, admired, and trusted member of this community, as evidenced by the commissions he received for secular celebrations from royalty and members of the middle-class alike—in addition to functioning as church composer—Bach shared its values.List Price: $80.00, Offer Price: $48.00; June 2006 ISBN: 9781580461900; eISBN: 9781580466554 20 b/w & 2 line illus.; 288 pp, cloth
