Listening to Bach: The Mass in B Minor and the Christmas Oratorio

by Daniel R Melamed and Daniel R. Melamed

Book Overview

Of all the things we can know about J. S. Bach's Mass in B Minor and Christmas Oratorio, the most profound come from things we can hear. Listening to Bach explores musical style as it was understood in the early eighteenth century. It encourages ways of listening that take eighteenth-century musical sensibilities into account and that recognize our place as inheritors of a long tradition of performance and interpretation.
