Contemporary commentaries of hymns. A source to understand Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred vocal works

该项目将重点关注约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫对路德教会赞美诗传统的作曲方法。看起来，关于这个话题的大量二手文献已经存在。然而，直到现在，还没有尝试去探索当代传统的解释这些赞美诗在18世纪上半叶。简而言之，巴赫对赞美诗的独特方法，例如1724/1725年莱比锡合唱大合唱的伟大开场合唱，也是当代对它们的解释的结果。当代的赞美诗注释（Liederkommentare）是学习和理解这一传统的无与伦比的来源。该项目分为三个步骤：首先，要扩展Liederkommentare的类型。接下来是声乐作品的选择，这些作品将被审查，最后，被选中的声乐作品将被审查，并通过当代评论进行反思。

The project will focus on Johann Sebastian Bachs compositional approach to the Lutheran hymnal tradition. Seemingly, an abundance of secondary literature regarding this topic already exists. However, until now, no attempts have been made at exploring the contemporary tradition of interpretation of these hymns during the first half of the eighteenth century. In short, the idea that Bachs supposedly unique approach to the hymns, e. g. the great opening choruses of the Leipzig choral cantatas of 1724/1725, is also a result of contemporary interpretation of them. Contemporary commentaries of the hymns (Liederkommentare) are unparalleled sources to learn about and to understand this tradition. The project is divided in three steps: Initially, the genre of the Liederkommentare is to be expanded upon. This will be followed by the selection of the vocal works which will be examined, and, finally, the selected vocal works will be examined and reflected upon through the contemporary Liederkommentare.
