Two Fugues -sc. Contributors: Bach. Recorder Quartets (SATB). Score. Publisher's category: Recorder Quartets.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 1750) was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together almost all of the strands of the baroque style and brought it to its ultimate maturity. His forceful suavity and vast output have earned him wide acknowledgment as one of the greatest composers in the Western tonal tradition.
This issue comprises two fugues taken fromjohann Sebastian Bachs "Die Kunst der Fuge",which seem especially suited to be practised by amateurs, too.
The first of the two fugues is the fundamental fugue with main subject, from which the whole is developed - a solemn beginning, "as if the eternal harmony conversed with itself". Towards the end the flow of music is congested in a general rest so as to pour into the final organ-point on the key note D with great power. The second fugue is based on the inversion of the main subject. "Aus tiefster Not schrei ich zu dir" is the new subject which is joined - hesitatingly at first, but then more and more distinctly - by a chromatic counter-subject.
