Bach
- Movement 1
- Ritornello form with shortened
repetitions of opening 12 bars with
chorale melody in between
- Ritornello form
characterised by minor
keys, sequences and
discords, created by
and through
suspensions
- Continuo and figured bass
- Hemiola at end of main sections and
tierce de picardie on final cadence
- Angst and words are reflected in suspensions
- Movement 2
- Syllabic word setting that reflects the
natural rhythms of the text
- Text flows at a faster rate
- Declamatory style of singing with detached
melodic fragments to highlight sighs
- Angular melodic lines with tortured
leaps eg diminished 7th bar 2 on
Misery
- Extreme dissonance minor 9th sop and bass bar 2
- Accompaniment purely
supportive so words can be
appreciated
- Modulates to several keys.
Foreign Emajor on strongest
poison bar 10
- Movement 3
- Diminished 7th beat 2 bar 2 allows for
unexpected modulations to G minor bar
2 and Ab major bar 6
- Expected perfect cadence in Bb major is changed by
the introduction of Ab at the end of the melody, thus
sparking off a series of anguished suspensions. Eg Gb
against F bar 9
- Movement 4
- Technique of re-using melodic fragments, eg bars 23-24 is from bars 5-6
- Quaver bass heard almost throughout
- Modulates to dominant Bb major at end of fist
section, then to C minor (relative minor) and
other related keys before returning to tonic Eb
major at bar 78-79
