Fragt man nach den Beziehungen Bachscher Choralbearbeitungen zum Kantionalsatz, stellt sich die Frage nach den Tonarten der Choralmelodien. Das eingehende Studium der Geschichte der Tonarten zeigt, dass sowohl deren Lehre als auch der Gebrauch, den die Komponisten von den Tonarten machten, einem steten Wandel unterlag. Anhand von Analysen ausgewahlter Liedmelodien verdeutlicht der Autor, welche Satztraditionen vom Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts bis zu Bachs Lebzeiten lebendig blieben und in welcher Weise Bach diese Traditionen aufnimmt und verwandelt. Die Beschaftigung mit der Satzlehre und Theorie jener Epoche erweist sich auch deshalb als fruchtbar, weil dem heutigen Musiker der Blick auf die historischen Bedingtheiten der Werke Bachs oftmals durch sein Wissen um die spatere Musikentwicklung seit der Wiener Klassik verdeckt wird.

Andy Balent and Joe Compello have done it again. Following the great success of their collaboration on Ensembles Sound Spectacular, Grade Two, they created an outstanding folio for the Grade One Band.
