In 1991 Hans-Joachim Schulze, preeminent worldwide authority on the music of JS Bach, began a weekly series of radio broadcasts that ran until 1994 on all the cantatas by Bach then known to be extant. The series was quite popular, was repeated several times, and in 2006 Schulze published his scripts as a volume on all the Bach cantatas. In this digital edition hosted by IOPN, a companion to a printed volume of selected commentaries published by University of Illinois Press, James A. Brokaw II provides English translations of all of the essays on the Scalar platform with tools for searching, sorting and bundling the essays by date of composition, position within the liturgical church year sequence, secular patron and occasion, librettist and other parameters.Copyright
