MHMUS 415 — Bach’s Cantatas

3 credits
Fall
Fredric Fehleisen

Prerequisite: MHMUS 311 . The study of Bach’s instrumental music can provide one with an understanding of what he composed and how. But it is only through encounters with his vocal works that one can begin to question why. In this course, students will explore the texts and music of Bach’s sacred and secular cantatas in order to find meaning in such works and better understand Bach as a composer and performer.
