Zusammenfassung: | Reviews a book in which the author reveals a connection between J. S. Bach's use of tonality and the underlying spiritual dimensions in his vocal music (U of California Press, 1991, $69.95). Notes that the author's method lies mainly in the application of traditional Lutheran hermeneutics, in the sense of biblical interpretation, to Bach's synthesis of text and music. |
