Drawi
ng on her deep admiration
for Johann Sebastian
Bach, Sofia Gubaidulina
has produced several
works based on his music.
For her Meditation on the
Bach Chorale “Vor
deinen Thron tret ich
hiermitâ€, she says
she was guided by her
personal experience of
the inner numerical
relationships in the
formal structure of the
chorale prelude BWV 668.
In four sections, the
piece for strings and
harpsichord meditates on
the tonal and numerical
relationships within the
Bach chorale until it is
finally heard in its
entirety andthe
harpsichord succinctly
sets the final point with
the tone sequence
B-A-C-H.
