| Ajoutée par magataganm, 01 Oct 2016 Born in Eisenach in 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach was educated largely by his eldest brother, after the early death of his parents. At the age of eighteen he embarked on his career as a musician, serving first as a court musician at Weimar, before appointment as organist at Arnstadt. Four years later he moved to Mühlhausen as organist and the following year became organist and chamber musician to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Weimar. Securing his release with difficulty, in 1717 he was appointed Kapellmeister to Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen and remained at Cöthen until 1723, when he moved to Leipzig as Cantor at the School of St.Thomas, with responsibility for the music of the five principal city churches. Bach was to remain in Leipzig until his death in 1750. As a craftsman obliged to fulfil the terms of his employment, Bach provided music suited to his various appointments. It was natural that his earlier work as an organist and something of an expert on the construction of organs, should result in music for that instrument. At Cöthen, where the Pietist leanings of the court made church music unnecessary, he provided a quantity of instrumental music for the court orchestra and its players. In Leipzig he began by composing series of cantatas for the church year, later turning his attention to instrumental music for the Collegium musicum of the University, and to the collection and ordering of his own compositions. The so-called Kirnberger Collection (BWV 690-713), a title now generally ignored in recent editions, is a collection of music by Bach copied by or for his pupil Johann Philipp Kirnberger. The latter was born in Saalfeld in 1721 and educated in Coburg and Cotha, before, in 1739, travelling to Leipzig for lessons in composition and performance with Bach. After a period spent in Poland, he returned to Dresden, moving then to Berlin as a violinist in the Prussian royal service. In 1754 he entered the service of Prince Heinrich of Prussia and four years later that of Princess Anna Amalia, remaining in this last position until his death in Berlin in 1783. Kirnberger had the highest regard for Bach, and did his utmost to bring about the posthumous publication of the latter's four-part chorale settings. Bach wrote only two other settings of the chorale theme in Wir Christenleut (We Christian People), the earliest (BWV 1090) turning up in 1985 in the Neumeister Collection and the later one (BWV 612) appearing as the last of the 11 works in the Christmas section of his masterful Das Orgelbüchlein (1713-1715). This BWV 710 effort almost certainly dates to his years in Weimar (1708-1717), and thus may have been written at around the same time as its Orgelbüchlein sibling. Though it is a bit longer than that work, it is itself quite brief, with a duration of just over two minutes. Bach gives the chorale theme an appropriately light treatment here, with lively pacing and busy contrapuntal lines. He also adds more ornamentation than is usual for his chorale preludes and keeps virtually all of the thematic activity in the upper registers. The theme -- and counterthemes -- have a jaunty, somewhat playful character here, the music coming across as joyful and happy. Yet the mood also divulges a rapturous sense, too, as if the notes are busily carrying out some higher purpose. This delightful piece will strongly appeal to organ music and Baroque enthusiasts.
