Johann Sebastian Bach's Clavierübung
Part
III, published in 1739, is his most extensive and significant collection
of works for the organ. It can be demonstrated that in Bach's ingenious
overall plan, his thoughts on musical, theological, mathematical and practical
aspects are all marvellously united. This book attempts further to ascertain
Bach's intentions, especially with regard to the relationship between music,
text and theology. This interdisciplinary approach leads to a series of
new points of view. The resulting interpretation of the individual compositions
is preceeded each time by a critical approach of the research literature.
This monograph can also serve as a reference book for this important work. |
| Author: | Albert Clement (1962) studied organ
at the Brabants Conservatory in Tilburg, musicology at the State University
of Utrecht and theology at the State University of Leiden. He received
his teacher's and performer's diploma organ in 1986 and 1988 respectively.
In 1987 he received his musicology degree and in 1989 his Utrecht
doctorate for a dissertation on Bach (both degrees with highest distinction).
Subsequently the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences granted
him - as the first musicologist in the Netherlands - a research post at
the University of Utrecht, which was replaced by the post of associate
professor at the same university in 1996.
He is the author of numerous publications on the music of the 17th and 18th centuries; in addition he gives lectures and concerts in the Netherlands and abroad. In cooperation with his wife, Margreeth Chr. de Jong, he has made two CD recordings on historic organs. Having been a member of the Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft für theologische Bachforschung (International Society for theological Bach Research) since 1991, he has been elected as its new president in October 1999. He is co-editor (period 1600-1800) of the journal ('TVNM') of the Royal Society of Dutch Music history and General editor of the series Exempla Musica Zelandica of the Royal Zeeland Society of Sciences. In 1993 he was awarded the prize for arts and sciences of the Province of Zeeland. |
