The Soli-Tutti Concept in The Choral Works of Johann Sebastian Bach

Abstract

dc:description

The idea of contrast between smaller and larger groups was one of the most important ways of dynamic and color variety in the music of Baroque Germany. This procedure has been called the "soli-tutti" principle when related to choral works. The thrust of this thesis is to trace the development of this concept, culminating in its indicated use by Johann Sebastian Bach, and then to speculate where in his non-indicated choral works, by analogy, one should apply this procedure in contemporary performance.
