A woman’s voice in baroque music
In 1724 J.S. Bach composed nine sacred cantatas to texts by Leipzig poet Mariane von Ziegler (1695-1760), Germany's first female poet laureate. This book highlights her significance in early eighteenth-century Germany and her commitment to advancing women's rights of self-expression. The author analyses her approach to cantata text composition. Included are extracts from Ziegler's four published volumes of poetry and prose. With illustrations and musical examples.
