    Thanks for the comments on the handwriting. I'm using an inexpensive Lamy italic calligraphy ink pen. A good book on music hand calligraphy is Music Manuscript Techniques: A Programed Approach by Paul Harder. A bit old fashioned....

    Merci for this analysis. I was so bad at music all my life I joked with people that I was born with two left ears. Now after my retirement I'm watching this and learning.

    Haha - I thought this was going to be "correcting a Bach Chorale exercise" but looking through whilst you were writing I was thinking "it's perfect". Then I realised it was Bach himself 🙈

      To be fair, even Bach does some "mistakes", intentionally or not (eg the Bass can't reach the Eb in the end)

    My book lists it as Cant. 180 under the title "Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele" and is in F. How come ?

    • @bkehlenb
      @bkehlenb  Рік тому

      The Bach Chorales can be found under various publishers and numbering systems. 180 is the BWV number of the cantata. BWV is a cataloguing system of Bach's works from the 20th century: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis At this link you will find the chorale, as you said in F major: imslp.org/wiki/Schm%C3%BCcke_dich%2C_o_liebe_Seele%2C_BWV_180_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian) Other collections such as the one published by Breitkopf and Härtel (1871) list it as #22 and it is in the key of Eb major. Here is a link: imslp.org/wiki/Chorale_Harmonisations%2C_BWV_1-438_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian)

    Looks like the publisher made a typo. It's Schmücke, not Schücke.

    Unfortunately I will have to take this idea and use a different piece to analyse with my year 9 music class because there is no way I will get around the phonetics of the title with the boys in my grade. -sigh- Kids.

    No, you are perfectly incorrect. GenerallBass not functional harmony should be used to explain the "how".
    You delivery is awesome, the substance is however historically not true.,

      What is general bass? I've heard that Bach did not conceptualize music in functional harmony. But, I still haven't learned the method he used to do so.
