Description
Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale settings have been a cornerstone of music education for centuries. His four-voiced harmonisations offer a unique approach to melodies that are often rooted in earlier styles. This workbook presents a comprehensive selection of individual phrases and whole chorales in Bach's harmonisations, sorted into five principal types and arranged in an increasing order of complexity. Every phrase has been meticulously checked for accuracy against its original version in the cantatas and Passions. The accompanying Workbook provides authentic solutions to the exercises set in this collection. It complements any course on chorale harmonisation, offering a valuable resource for those seeking to understand Bach's principles and practices.
