Netherlands Bach Society | Bach - Kyrie, Gott Vater in Ewigkeit BWV 669 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society @bach | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 5 minutes ago
In his 'Great Kyrie', of which BWV 669 is the first part, Bach expressly refers back to older music. It is striking how much he adheres to the rules of counterpoint as he knew them from Frescobaldi and others, perhaps to show off that he could master any style. The long note values suggest a solemn atmosphere that points back to days past. The melody of the well-known German hymn, which Bach places in the soprano, gives Bach the opportunity to explore the old-style Phrygian mode.
