| Summary: | This Theological Commentary is the first full-length work in English to consider Johann Sebastian Bachs 'St John Passion' in its entirety, both the words and the music. Bachs oratorio is a globally popular musical work, and a significant expression of Lutheran theology.0The commentary explains the Biblical and poetic text, and its musical setting, line by line. Bachs Passion is shown to be the work of a master craftsman and trained theologian, in the collaborative and cultural milieu of eighteenth-century, Lutheran Leipzig.0For the first time, this work makes much German scholarship available in English, including archival sources, and includes a new scholarly translation of the libretto. The musical and theological terms are explained, to enable an interdisciplinary understanding of the Passions meaning and continued significance. |
