| | Cantata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the 16th century, when all serious music was vocal, the term had no reason to exist, but with the rise of instrumental music in the 17th century cantatas began to exist under that name as soon as the instrumental art was definite enough to be embodied in sonatas. | | | Cantata (Italian, 'sung'), a vocal composition accompanied by instruments and generally containing more than one movement. | | | The full lyric possibilities of a string of choral songs were realized at last by Johannes Brahms in his Rinaldo, set to a text which Goethe wrote at the same time as he wrote that of the Walpurgisnacht. |

| | Although the composer of the cantata is unknown, it was written for a Jewish community in northern Italy. | | | The work is rare in that the majority of religious cantatas performed by groups specializing in historical music are Christian works by Bach, Telemann, Handel and their contemporaries. | | | As is traditional with religious cantatas, the movements within the work alternate between instrumental and vocal sections. |

| | The Cantata |
| | Our diligent composing machine who wrote over 300 cantatas (including a stint of more than one a week for 4 years) cheated by taking music he originally wrote for church services and changed the text for dramatic secular pieces. | | | Most styles of music get larger and more complex over time, and the cantata is no exception. | | | These are generally strung together with recitative (that operatic sing-talking) and almost always have a bunch of instruments accompanying them. |

| | The term has since been applied to a wide variety of choral compositions with instrumental accompaniment, containing choruses, solos, arias, recitatives, and instrumental interludes, and resembling the oratorio if their text is sacred or resembling opera if their text is secular. | | | In its sacred form, the cantata differs from an oratorio by being considerably shorter and less elaborate in both its vocal writing and its accompaniment. | | | Italian composers who wrote in this form include Giulio Caccini, Claudio Monteverdi, and Jacopo Peri. |

| | The cantata, which despite being yellow with age remained in good state, was authenticated by a team of experts led by Bach specialist, Professor Tadashi Isoyama of the Kunitachi College of Music in suburban Tokyo. | | | Experts believe Hara likely inherited the cantata -- but was oblivious to its existence -- from her husband, the late Spanish cellist Gaspar Cassado, who knew the Mendelssohn family. | | | American musicologist Joshua Rifkin, a conductor and composer who is one of the leading interpreters of Bach was asked to recreate the missing instrumental parts. |

| | Caldara previously composed a cantata for the Prince of Cerveteri, Francesco Maria Ruspoli, in 1712, and it is accepted that Caldara adapted his 1713 commission from this earlier cantata. | | | Both versions make use of the same libretto, Vaticini di Pace, the text of which was rich with political content in the eyes if Italy at that time, and seemed appropriate to re-use and perform for the Pope and his esteemed guests. | | | Our attention to Caldara's Christmas cantata is primarily confined to its artistic value, although the work is also deeply rooted in the political history of Italy. |

| | "This cantata is one of a series of chorale cantatas dating from Bach's period in Leipzig between 1729 and 1744, when he showed an increasing preference for this new cantata form in his vocal music for the church. | | | And I turned to the discussion of the cantata in Malcolm Boyd's "Oxford Composers Companion: Bach" which I recommend to all. | | | Well, this has been an interesting cantata for me, one that I really haven't quite come to grips with. |

| | In the early cantatas of his pupil, Alessandro Scarlatti, and those of Stradella and Steffani, the distinction between recitative and aria is clear and the number of sections usually smaller. | | | Rameau also wrote cantatas before 1733, after which the genre declined in favour of the new, shorter Rococo cantatille. | | | J.C. Pepusch claimed his Six English Cantatas (1710) as the first of their kind; his two sets are among the best. |
