In his projects, Alexander Chen (b. 1981) unites experiences as a programmer, designer, violist and indie rock musician. His Baroque.me is a virtual, audiovisual interpretation of canonical Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 BWV 1007 by Johann Sebastian Bach. Like most of Chen’s projects, it is based on the code which he wrote in 2011. The fruit of the code is—in his own words—“a virtual string instrument”, “an interactive plucked instrument” or “an impossible harp” that is out of classification in terms of traditional typology of musical instruments. Grounded in mathematical fundamentals of musical string, it presents them in an attractive manner and unveils hidden geometrical beauty of well-known items. Baroque.me could seem to be too traditional, nostalgic and naive, lacking in deeply critical approach towards postmodern society and deeply attached to premodern understanding of beauty. Its user-friendly interface, appearance typical for contemporary websites and elements of gaming suggest that Chen’s work is made just for entertainment. However, it is exquisitely interesting as an example of contemporary phenomenon, which Paul Elie called “reinventing Bach”. Baroque.me merges various layers of Bach reception: romantic, modern, and finally postmodern, which connects intimacy, entertainment and—characteristic for Bach himself—fascination of science and new technology. Two possible modes of contact with the Chen’s work, that is passive contemplation of the old masterpiece and/or (inter)active disruption of its harmony, can be associated with the ethos of the net artist who uses new technology to entertain people and provide intellectual reflection at the same time.

This essay presents an interpretation of Stanisław Barańczak’s Bist du bei mir – a poem that has often been the subject of literary studies. The author refers to the poem’s motto – a fragment of an aria by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel from Clavierbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach, often falsely attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. She also points at the context of mystical poetry: Adam Mickiewicz’s epigrams from Zdania i uwagi z dzieł Jakuba Bema, Anioła Ślązaka (Angelus Silesius) i Sę-Martena [Sentences and remarks. From the works of Jacob Böhme, Angelus Silesius, and St. Martin] and G. Herbert’s poems translated by Barańczak. In the author’s reading, the poet, in an ironic gesture of reference, strips the reader of literarydelusions, discovering deeply tragic dimensions of life and, possibly, also of personal experience of suffering.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s church cantatas hold a special place among composer’s works. Although they were primarily intended for use in the Lutheran church liturgy in order to deepen the understanding of readings from the Bible, they are at the same time masterpieces of highest artistic value. The cantatas, accompanying Bach throughout his artistic career, became a kaleidoscope of all the forms, techniques, motifs and musical means he employed. Forgotten after the composer’s death, the works were rediscovered in the 20th century. The first chapter of this work is devoted to the description of the cantatas and their performance history. The popularization of Bach’s cantatas was connected with both their inclusion in the concert repertoire and the development of recording industry. The first, single recordings of cantatas come from 1950s. Recordings of cantata cycles began soon after. As around two hundred cantatas survive to this day, each project of recording the complete cycle excites interest among music lovers and professional critics. Until today, only a few recordings of the complete cycle of cantatas have been made, some of which deserve particular attention due to their high artistic value and cognitive significance. A detailed discussion of these selected renditions constitutes the second chapter. Apart from recordings of Bach’s complete cycle, there exists a number of recordings containing variously selected cantatas. Many of these have been internationally recognized as most important masterpieces of world phonography. These works are listed and compared in chapters two and three.

Kantaty kościelne Johanna Sebastiana Bacha zajmują szczególne miejsce wśród dzieł kompozytora. Będąc muzyką użytkową, przeznaczoną do wykonania w trakcie liturgii i służącą lepszemu zrozumieniu czytań biblijnych, są jednocześnie przykładem arcydzieł prezentujących najwyższe artystyczne walory. Towarzysząc Bachowi w trakcie całego twórczego życia, stały się kantaty kalejdoskopem wszelkich stosowanych przez niego form i technik, a także wykorzystywanych motywów i środków kompozytorskich. Zapomniane po śmierci kompozytora, dzieła te zostały na nowo odkryte w XX wieku. Charakterystyka i historia wykonawstwa kantat wypełnia I rozdział pracy.Upowszechnienie kantat Bacha związane było z wprowadzeniem ich do repertuaru koncertowego oraz z rozwojem światowej fonografii. Pierwsze pojedyncze nagrania płytowe kantat pochodzą z lat 50. XX wieku. Nieco później rozpoczęto cykliczne nagrywanie tych utworów. W związku z tym, że liczba zachowanych do dnia dzisiejszego kantat wynosi około 200, każdorazowy projekt nagraniowy cyklu wzbudza ogromne zainteresowanie słuchaczy, melomanów i krytyki muzycznej. Do chwili obecnej zarejestrowanych zostało zaledwie kilka kompletów kantat Bacha. Ze względu na wysokie walory artystyczne i poznawcze niektóre z tych nagrań zasługują na szczególną uwagę. Wszystkie one zostały szczegółowo opisane w rozdziale II.Oprócz kompletnych nagrań kantat Bacha istnieje szereg płyt zawierających ich większy lub mniejszy wybór. Wiele z tych nagrań uznane zostało przez muzyczną krytykę za najważniejsze osiągnięcia światowej fonografii. Ich zestawieniem i porównaniem zajmuje się autor w rozdziałach II i III.

In 1947 F. Smend has developed the theory about numerological symbolism in Bach`s music. In similar way to the cabalistic gematria, he discovered, the coinherence of symbolic name Bach as the number 14, and J.S.Bach as 41. He claimed, that it is possible to find that Bach has used that symbolism in his compositions. The exaple of this operation is possible to find in the first part of ClavierUbung: this work is made from 41 movements, and was published as the first printed work from Bach in his life. And Bach started to write this work, as he was 41 years old. On the Hausmann painting, Bach has got the manuscript contain fragment of 14 canons. The painting was made because of Bach`s joining as 14th member to the Mitzler Society. Those simple conclusions lead to establish the international searching group for common platform for music, theology and symbolical numbers in Bach`s ouvre. This group has mainly researched the text-based works, and didn`t focus on the correspondence among the series-work of Bach. Profesor Christoph Bossert with his over 20 years of his research work discovered the special code, which Bach might to used for his compositions. Based on that discoveries, he constitute the Bach-Societät group, which is focused on researches and discovering connections among the theology, symbolism and musical structures in whole Bach`s music.

In 1947 Friedrich Smend has developed the theory about numerological symbolism in Bach’s music. In similar way to the cabalistic gematria, he discovered, the coinherence of symbolic name “Bach” as the number 14, and “J.S.Bach” as 41. He claimed that it is possible to find that Bach has used that symbolism in his compositions. The exaple of this operation is possible to find in the first part of ClavierÜbung: this work is made from 41 movements, and was published as the first printed work from Bach in his life.
