The cantus firmus of this ornamental chorale prelude was written by Louis Bourgeois in The accompaniment in the two middle voices, often in parallel sixths, and the pedal is derived from the first four notes of the melody. The highly ornate ornamentation is rare amongst Bach's chorale preludes, the only comparable example being BWV from the Great Eighteen. The vocal ornamentation and portamento appoggiaturas of the melody are French in style.
Coloratura passages lead into the unadorned notes of the cantus firmus. Williams describes this musical device, used also in BWV and BWV , as a means of conveying "a particular kind of touching, inexpressible expressiveness. The melody was also composed by Neumark: Neumark originally wrote the melody in 3 2 time. In the chorale prelude BWV , the unadorned cantus firmus in 4 4 time is in the soprano voice.
The two inner voices, often in thirds, are built on a motif made up of two short beats followed by a long beat—an anapaest —often used by Bach to signify joy for example in BWV , , , , , , , , , and The pedal has a walking bass which also partly incorporates the joy motif in its responses to the inner voices. For Schweitzer the accompaniment symbolised "the joyful feeling of confidence in God's goodness. Below are the first and last two verses of the funeral hymn of Johann Georg Albinus with the English translation of Catherine Winkworth.
A mood of ecstasy permeates this chorale prelude, a funeral hymn reflecting the theme of heavenly joy. The simple cantus firmus sings in crotchets quarter notes above an accompanying motif of three semiquavers 16th notes followed by two quavers eighth notes that echoes between the two inner parts and the pedal. Schweitzer describes its use by Bach as a motif of "beatific peace", commenting that "the melody of the hymn that speaks of the inevitability of death is thus enveloped in a motif that is lit up by the coming glory.
Below are the first and last verses of Michael Franck's hymn of with the English translation of Sir John Bowring. Bach's title conforms to a later hymnbook from Weimar which inverted the order throughout. The chorale prelude is in four voices for single manual with pedals. The cantus firmus in the sporano voice is a simple form of the hymn tune in crotchets. The motif in the pedal is a constant three-note quaver figure, with octave leaps punctuated by frequent rests.
Above this bass, the inner voices weave a continuous pattern of descending and ascending scales in semiquavers, constantly varying, sometimes moving in the same direction and sometimes in contrary motion. This texture of flowing scales over a "quasi-pizzicato" bass captures the theme of the hymn: To Spitta the scales "hurry by like misty ghosts. Exceptionally Bach scored the final chord of this nebulous piece without pedal. A similar device has been used by Bach for the word inanes "empty" in the ninth movement of his Magnificat.
Stinson also sees similarities with Bach's omission of a bass part in Wie zittern und wanken from cantata BWV , an aria concerned with the uncertainties in the life of a sinner. It is now called Stadtschloss to distinguish it from other palaces in and it was the residence of the dukes of Saxe-Weimar and Eisenach, and has also been called Residenzschloss.

Weimar — Weimar is a city in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany. It is located between Erfurt in the west and Jena in the east, approximately 80 kilometres southwest of Leipzig, kilometres north of Nuremberg and kilometres west of Dresden. Together with the neighbour-cities Erfurt and Jena it forms the metropolitan area of Thuringia with approximately , inhabitants. Weimar is well known because of its cultural heritage and its importance in German history. The city was a point of the German Enlightenment and home of the leading characters of the literary genre of Weimar Classicism.
Archaeological finds dating back to the Thuringii epoch show that the Weimar part of the Ilm valley was settled early, the oldest records regarding Weimar date to The Weimar settlement emerged around the wooden castle and two small churches dedicated to St Peter, and to St James. In , the count founded the monastery in Oberweimar. Soon after, the counts of Weimar founded the town, which was an independent parish since , from the citizens used their own seal. Nevertheless, the influence of the Weimar counts was declining as the influence of the Wettins in Thuringia increased.
Hence, the new town was relatively marginal in a regional context. The settlement around St James Church developed into a suburb during the 13th century, after becoming part of the Wettins territory in , urban development improved. Weimar acquired woad trade privileges in , the castle and the walls were finished in the 16th century, making Weimar into a full city.
Bachs compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor and his music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth. He is now regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Bach was born in Eisenach, in the duchy of Saxe-Eisenach and his father Johann Ambrosius Bach was the director of the town musicians, and all of his uncles were professional musicians.
His father probably taught him to play the violin and harpsichord, apparently at his own initiative, Bach attended St. He was the eighth and youngest child of Johann Ambrosius, who taught him violin.
His uncles were all musicians, whose posts included church organists, court chamber musicians. One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, introduced him to the organ, Bachs mother died in , and his father died eight months later. The year-old Bach moved in with his eldest brother, Johann Christoph Bach, there he studied, performed, and copied music, including his own brothers, despite being forbidden to do so because scores were so valuable and private and blank ledger paper of that type was costly.
He received valuable teaching from his brother, who instructed him on the clavichord, also during this time he was taught theology, Latin, Greek, French and Italian at the local gymnasium. By 3 April Bach and his schoolfriend Georg Erdmann—who was two years Bachs elder—were enrolled in the prestigious St. His two years there were critical in exposing Bach to a range of European culture.
In addition to singing in the choir, he played the Schools three-manual organ and he came into contact with sons of aristocrats from northern Germany, sent to the highly selective school to prepare for careers in other disciplines. Johns Church and possibly used the famous organ from His role there is unclear, but it probably included menial, non-musical duties, despite strong family connections and a musically enthusiastic employer, tension built up between Bach and the authorities after several years in the post.
Bach was dissatisfied with the standard of singers in the choir and he called one of them a Zippel Fagottist. Leipzig — Leipzig is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. With a population of , inhabitants it is Germanys tenth most populous city, Leipzig is located about kilometres southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southern end of the North German Plain. Leipzig has been a city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, Leipzig was once one of the major European centers of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing.
Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events which took place in, Leipzig today is an economic center and the most livable city in Germany, according to the GfK marketing research institution. Outside of Leipzig the Neuseenland district forms a lake area of approximately square kilometres. Leipzig is derived from the Slavic word Lipsk, which means settlement where the linden trees stand, an older spelling of the name in English is Leipsic. In the Nazi government officially renamed the city Reichsmessestadt Leipzig, the common usage of this nickname for Leipzig up until the present is reflected, for example, in the name of a popular blog for local arts and culture, Heldenstadt.
Leipzig was first documented in in the chronicles of Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg as urbs Libzi and endowed with city, Leipzig Trade Fair, started in the Middle Ages, became an event of international importance and is the oldest remaining trade fair in the world. During the Thirty Years War, two battles took place in Breitenfeld, about 8 kilometres outside Leipzig city walls, the first Battle of Breitenfeld took place in and the second in Both battles resulted in victories for the Swedish-led side, on 24 December , an oil-fueled street lighting system was introduced.
The city employed light guards who had to follow a schedule to ensure the punctual lighting of the lanterns. It was the largest battle in Europe prior to the First World War, in the Monument to the Battle of the Nations celebrating the centenary of this event was completed. The railway station has two entrance halls, the eastern one for the Royal Saxon State Railways and the western one for the Prussian state railways. Schweitzer, a Lutheran, challenged both the view of Jesus as depicted by historical-critical methodology current at this time, as well as the traditional Christian view.
The tiny village is home to the Association Internationale Albert Schweitzer, the medieval parish church of Gunsbach was shared by the Protestant and Catholic congregations, which held their prayers in different areas at different times on Sundays. This compromise arose after the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years War, Schweitzer, the pastors son, grew up in this exceptional environment of religious tolerance, and developed the belief that true Christianity should always work towards a unity of Faith and Purpose.
Schweitzers first language was the Alsatian dialect of German, at the Mulhouse Gymnasium he received his Abitur in In he played for the French organist Charles-Marie Widor, for whom Johann Sebastian Bachs organ-music contained a mystic sense of the eternal, Widor, deeply impressed, agreed to teach Schweitzer without fee, and a great and influential friendship thus began. S, Schweitzer served his one-year compulsory military service in Schweitzer saw many operas of Richard Wagner in Strasbourg and in he managed to afford a visit to the Bayreuth to see Wagners Der Ring des Nibelungen and Parsifal which deeply impressed him.
Schweitzer rapidly gained prominence as a scholar and organist, dedicated also to the rescue, restoration. With theological insight, he interpreted the use of pictorial and symbolical representation in J. Bachs religious music and they were works of devotional contemplation in which the musical design corresponded to literary ideas, conceived visually. Widor had not grown up with knowledge of the old Lutheran hymns. The exposition of ideas, encouraged by Widor and Munch, became Schweitzers last task.
There was great demand for a German edition, but, instead of translating it, the result was two volumes, which were published in and translated into English by Ernest Newman in Schweitzers interpretative approach greatly influenced the understanding of Bachs music. Glockenspiel — A glockenspiel is a percussion instrument composed of a set of tuned keys arranged in the fashion of the keyboard of a piano. In this way, it is similar to the xylophone, however, the glockenspiel, moreover, is usually smaller and higher in pitch. In German, a carillon is also called a Glockenspiel, while in French, in music scores the glockenspiel is sometimes designated by the Italian term campanelli.
When used in a marching or military band, the bars are mounted in a portable case and held vertically. However, sometimes the bars are held using a harness similar to a marching snare harness. In orchestral use, the bars are mounted horizontally, a pair of hard, unwrapped mallets, generally with heads made of plastic or metal, are used to strike the bars, although mallet heads can also be made of rubber.
If laid out horizontally, a keyboard glockenspiel may be contrived by adding a keyboard to the instrument to facilitate playing chords, another method of playing chords is to use four mallets, two per hand. The glockenspiel is limited to the register, and usually covers about two and a half to three octaves, but can also reach up to three and a half octaves.
The glockenspiel is an instrument, its parts are written two octaves below the sounding notes. When struck, the give an very pure, bell-like sound. Glockenspiels are quite popular and appear in almost all genres of music ranging from hip-hop to jazz. Solo glockenspiel can be heard briefly, but notably at the beginning of Shostakovichs 15th Symphony, a modern example of the glockenspiel can be heard in Steve Reichs —71 composition Drumming, in which the glockenspiel plays a major role in the third and fourth movements. Other instruments that work on the same principle as the glockenspiel include the marimba.
The Dulcitone has a sound to the glockenspiel since its sound is made by hammers striking tuning forks. The dulcitone uses soft hammers which damp the forks, compared to the hammers of the glockenspiel. Buxtehude is a steadily growing medium-sized town and the second largest in the district of Stade and it lies on the southern borders of the Altes Land within easy reach of the city-state of Hamburg. West of it are the towns of Horneburg and Stade and to the south there are incorporated villages offering mostly upscale housing, in a settlement by the Este river is first recorded.
The farmer colony called Buochstadon is given to the cloister of Magdeburg, soon a wharf, Hude, is established. In the settlement is called Buchstadihude referring to the successful quay, in the Duchy of Saxony, to which Buchstadihude belonged, is conquered and dissolved. Buxtehude becomes part of the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, newly upgraded to imperial immediacy it became one of the successor states of the Duchy of Saxony.
Segovia ; Fugue arr. Allein Gott, BWV Laycock, musical director and conductor 7: The dulcitone uses soft hammers which damp the forks, compared to the hammers of the glockenspiel. Albert Riemenschneider described the lower voices as creating "an atmosphere of dignified praise. After the statement of the subject, a second voice enters and states the subject with the subject transposed to another key, to make the music run smoothly, it may also have to be altered slightly.
Nevertheless, in respect, Buxtehude remained a part of the Diocese of Verden until Catholic affinity faded in the Reformation with that diocese remaining vacant since In two royal settlers found a Benedictine cloister in the surrounding of the village. In the prince-archbishop Giselbert of Bremen orders the place to be protected by defensive walls, in the town hall is mentioned for the first time and the settlement is granted full town privileges, modelled according to those of Hamburg. By now Buxtehude is self-governing advancing to a trading town, in the immensely wealthy Master Halepaghen as the cousin tutor of the burgomaster of Hamburg dies and donates his assets to the town for scholarships and charitable purposes.
In the town council of Buxtehude adopted Lutheranism for its municipality, in s the Hanseatic trade declines and cattle trade becomes majorly important. Besides Stade, Buxtehude is the crossover over the Elbe river. In Buxtehude surrendered to the Swedish army and loses its independence, in the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish and from on by the Hanoveran Crown.
In the link road through the town business and trade. Much living space in Hamburg was bombed out and people flee to the suburbs and exurbs such as Buxtehude, in Buxtehude is decided to be in charge of reconstructing much of Hamburg after the war and thus is heavily funded with government money. His organ works represent a part of the standard organ repertoire and are frequently performed at recitals. He composed in a variety of vocal and instrumental idioms.
Today, Buxtehude is considered one of the most important composers in Germany of the mid-Baroque and he is thought to have been born with the name Diderich Buxtehude. His parents were Johannes Buxtehude and Helle Jespersdatter and his father originated from Oldesloe in the Duchy of Holstein, which at that time was a part of the Danish Monarchy. Others, however, claim that he was born at Oldesloe, later in his life he Germanized his name and began signing documents Dieterich Buxtehude. His father — Johannes Buxtehude — was the organist at St. Buxtehudes last post, from , was at the Marienkirche, there he succeeded Franz Tunder and followed in many of the footsteps of his predecessor.
He married Tunders daughter Anna Margarethe in — it was not uncommon practice that a man marry the daughter of his predecessor in his occupation, Buxtehude and Anna Margarethe had seven daughters who were baptized at the Marienkirche, however, his first daughter died as an infant. Dieterichs brother Peter, a barber, joined them in , in , Handel and Mattheson both traveled to meet Buxtehude, who was by then elderly and ready to retire.
In addition to his duties, Buxtehude, like his predecessor Tunder. His surviving church music is praised for its musical qualities rather than its progressive elements. The bulk of Buxtehudes oeuvre consists of music, which covers a wide variety of styles, and organ works. Chamber music constitutes a part of the surviving output, although the only chamber works Buxtehude published during his lifetime were fourteen chamber sonatas.
Founded in in Saybrook Colony to train Congregationalist ministers, it is the third-oldest institution of education in the United States.

Yale is organized into fourteen constituent schools, the undergraduate college, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Yale University Library, serving all constituent schools, holds more than 15 million volumes and is the third-largest academic library in the United States, Yale College undergraduates follow a liberal arts curriculum with departmental majors and are organized into a social system of residential colleges.
Almost all faculty teach courses, more than 2, of which are offered annually. Supreme Court Justices,20 living billionaires, and many heads of state. In addition, Yale has graduated hundreds of members of Congress,57 Nobel laureates,5 Fields Medalists, Rhodes Scholars, and Marshall Scholars have been affiliated with the University. Yale traces its beginnings to An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School, passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut on October 9,, the Act was an effort to create an institution to train ministers and lay leadership for Connecticut.
Originally known as the Collegiate School, the institution opened in the home of its first rector, Abraham Pierson, the school moved to Saybrook, and then Wethersfield. In the college moved to New Haven, Connecticut, the feud caused the Mathers to champion the success of the Collegiate School in the hope that it would maintain the Puritan religious orthodoxy in a way that Harvard had not.
Cotton Mather suggested that the school change its name to Yale College, meanwhile, a Harvard graduate working in England convinced some prominent intellectuals that they should donate books to Yale. The shipment of books represented the best of modern English literature, science, philosophy and it had a profound effect on intellectuals at Yale. Undergraduate Jonathan Edwards discovered John Lockes works and developed his original theology known as the new divinity.
Fugue — A fugue usually has three sections, an exposition, a development, and a final entry that contains the return of the subject in the fugues tonic key. In the Middle Ages, the term was used to denote any works in canonic style, by the Renaissance. Since the 17th century, the fugue has described what is commonly regarded as the most fully developed procedure of imitative counterpoint. Most fugues open with a main theme, the subject, which then sounds successively in each voice, when each voice has entered.
This is often followed by a passage, or episode, developed from previously heard material. In this sense, a fugue is a style of composition, the form evolved during the 18th century from several earlier types of contrapuntal compositions, such as imitative ricercars, capriccios, canzonas, and fantasias. With the decline of sophisticated styles at the end of the period, the fugues central role waned, eventually giving way as sonata form.
The English term fugue originated in the 16th century and is derived from the French word fugue or the Italian fuga and this in turn comes from Latin, also fuga, which is itself related to both fugere and fugare. A fugue begins with the exposition and is according to certain predefined rules, in later portions the composer has more freedom. Further entries of the subject will occur throughout the fugue, repeating the accompanying material at the same time, the various entries may or may not be separated by episodes.
After the statement of the subject, a second voice enters and states the subject with the subject transposed to another key, to make the music run smoothly, it may also have to be altered slightly. A tonal answer is called for when the subject begins with a prominent dominant note. To prevent an undermining of the sense of key, this note is transposed up a fourth to the tonic rather than up a fifth to the supertonic. Answers in the subdominant are also employed for the same reason, while the answer is being stated, the voice in which the subject was previously heard continues with new material.
If this new material is reused in later statements of the subject, it is called a countersubject, if this material is only heard once. The countersubject is written in invertible counterpoint at the octave or fifteenth, for example, when the note G sounds in one voice above the note C in lower voice, the interval of a fifth is formed, which is considered consonant and entirely acceptable.

A further step towards perfecting this form was taken by Bach when he made the contrapuntal elements in his music a means of reflecting certain emotional aspects of the words. Pachelbel had not attempted this; he lacked the fervid feeling which would have enabled him thus to enter into his subject.
And it is entering into it, and not a mere depicting of it. For, once more be it said, in every vital movement of the world external to us we behold the image of a movement within us; and every such image must react upon us to produce the corresponding emotion in that inner world of feeling. Here Bach has realised the ideal of the chorale prelude. The method is the most simple imaginable and at the same time the most perfect. Simply by the precision and the characteristic quality of each line of the contrapuntal motive he expresses all that has to be said, and so makes clear the relation of the music to the text whose title it bears.
These four identities are so closely intertwined that it is hard to know where one leaves off and another begins. Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt! Come, Saviour of nations wild, Of the maiden owned the Child, Fill with wonder all the earth, God should grant it such a birth.
