Description

Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale settings have been a cornerstone of music education for centuries. These four-voiced harmonisations represent a Baroque composer's approach to melodies that are often centuries older. To provide a clear understanding of his principles and practices, this volume presents a comprehensive selection of individual phrases and whole chorales in Bach's harmonisations. The collection has been meticulously checked against the original versions in the cantatas and Passions, and is sorted into five principal types arranged in an increasing order of complexity. This provides authentic solutions to exercises set in the accompanying Workbook, complementing any course on chorale harmonisation.
