Q. What is Early Music performance, or historical performance?
A. We play on instruments from the time of the composers, and we use the
original music and playing techniques: it’s a special sound.
Q. Why are there no conductors?
A. Conductors weren’t invented until the 19th century; since we seek to
recreate a historical performance, the music is led from the keyboard or
violin, or the music is played as chamber music~or both :)
Q. What are period instruments or original instruments; how are they
different from modern instruments?
A. As instruments became modernized in the 19th century, builders and
players tended to focus on the volume of sound and the stability of tuning.
Modern steel strings replaced the older materials, and instruments were
often machine made. Historical instruments, built individually by hand and
with overall lighter construction, have extremely complex overtones—which
we find delightful. Modern instruments are of course perfectly suited to
more modern music.
Q. Why is the pitch lower, or higher?
A. Early Music performance uses many different pitches, and these pitches create different tone colors on the instruments. See https://goo.gl/pVBNAC
Bach's chorale setting features music from his cantata BWV 140 which was performed in Leipzig on November 25th, 1731. Originally intended for the 27th Sunday after Trinity, the work is now heard most often in Advent. In 1747, Bach commissioned Johann Georg Johann Georg Schübler to engrave six organ chorales for publication—Bach loved to present his works in groups of six; Schübler engraved the books in Zella, in the forest of Thuringia.
Bach based his work on a hymn by Philipp Nicolai. When Nicolai was pastor in Westphalia, the plague killed many of his parishioners; Nicolai wrote a collection of meditations and two hymns in their memory: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, and Wie schoen leuchtet der Morgenstern. Bach's counterpoint provides a perfect accompaniment for the chorale melody.
