Kerygmatic Message in the „Lord’s Supper” Recitative from „Matthäus-Passion” by J.S. Bach (Musical-rhetorical Figures and Affects)
Keywords:
kerygma, musical-rhetorical figures, affects (emotions), the Last SupperAbstract
This paper contains a series of musical-rhetorical figures and the effects, particularly intended by the composer. The Gospel text included in the recitative is considered fully fulfilled by Bach’s own language elements. Preliminary work in designing of this study included a diachronic analysis of the score. The later stage plays some specific elements of music, organized on a series of musical figures, all subordinate to a single purpose – a kerygmatic message sent by Jesus Christ. This refers to the Eucharist setting up, a reality with some profound significance for Jesus’s followers.Downloads
