Compositional Technique
The Rinck Collection features various chorale genres, including chorale fantasy, fugal chorale settings, figured chorales, chorale trios, and chorale arias.
Historical Context
The manuscript containing these chorales was compiled after 1790 by Johann Gottfried Neumeister, a schoolteacher and organist in Friedberg.
Composer's Artistic Vision
A contemporary musician, Georg Andreas Sorge, stated that an organist's ability to improvise preludes on chorale hymns was essential to encourage congregational singing with devotion.
Historical Context
The manuscript was passed to Christian Heinrich Rinck, whose teacher had studied with Bach, and later acquired by American musicologist Lowell Mason in 1852.
Composition History
The Bach chorales in the Rinck Collection are dated to the years preceding 1705, suggesting they are early works by the composer.
Composition History
Sixty organ chorales by J.S. Bach, previously unknown to scholars, were discovered in the Yale University music collection in the early 1980s.
Composition History
The Rinck Collection, containing sixteen previously unknown chorale arrangements by J.S. Bach, was apparently created for both study and practice.
