...David Temperley My discussion of Bach's chorale prelude “Das alte Jahr vergangen ist” centers on its key structure: the hierarchical arrangement of keys in the piece and the relationships between them. In the course of this discussion, I make a number of observations about the nature of key...

...William Renwick This essay discusses tonal ambiguity in the chorale melody “Das alte Jahr” and suggests a poetic interpretation of Bach's chorale. Expressive elements such as the passus duriusculus , the sospiro , and pervasive chromaticism are woven into a radical tonal plan that reflects...

... that the 1803 movement precedes. The historical order would make a difference. For example, the movement’s second theme is an instrumental chorale. Its presence suggests a communal placidity that dangles before the individu- ated passions all around it as an unattainable ideal or respite...

...-four in the choral passages of Henry Madin’s and Charles-Hubert Gervais’s motets; these embellishments deserve closer examination, since they are written out in full and result in what today seem like odd har- monies.

... of Smith’s interpretation of the rest of the finale dwells on the chorale theme at the end of the exposition. He notes that in Brahms’s other works (principally his symphonies) such fig- 341 ures, with their typical religious connotations, offer...

... (unprecedented as far as I know). This is an incredibly complex issue to unpack, but its level of complexity is no more than the level of consequence of Cohn’s potent historiography, so it is worth an attempt. J. S. Bach’s chorale settings often serve as a repertoire...

... to the galant style associated with the partimento tradition and interest in dramatic genres (e.g., opera), as reflected in the cantatas written for the Prix de Rome. In Leipzig, conservative romantic aesthetics combined with the Protestant musical genres often associated with Bach (e.g., four-part chorale...

... of music that follows the types of instruments on which it was pro- duced. The early periods of this organologically conceived music history are, accordingly, organized by sound source: a chapter on choral style is followed by chapters on instrumental styles (lute, organ, strings) and domestic key- board...

... that, given enough time, they would dutifully analyze scores with Roman numerals or write chorale-style homorhythmic figured-bass exercises, but it was not clear to me how that was going to help them hear a song, figure out what the key was, and sit in with the band play- ing guitar, keyboards, or bass. 4 He...

...- sions “occur” does not prove that they are “abundant.” Moreover, a footnote (97 n. 28) shows that even this existence claim is limited: “baroque” means only some Bach chorales, and “classical” means Mozart’s piano sonatas. No justification is given for regarding...
