An excellent read makes the 1902 published doctor's dissertation about Johann Kuhnau - His Life and Works, by Richard Münnich. Kuhnau was a genius of his age, Jura - Rechtsanwalt / Lawyer, I think 7 languages fluently, and certainly his heart's desire, becoming the Thomaskantor in Leipzig, was his crowning achievement. There is no question that his life, works, and Genius richly influenced great composers like J.S. Bach himself. I believe that Bach would not have become the Bach that we know today, would have Kuhnau died much later in his years and remained Thomaskantor longer. One cannot say that Bach was a better musician than Kuhnau. Kuhnau was his teacher. In today's time, such genius would only be the likes of an equivalent of Albert Einstein. Kuhnau was definitely a left and right brain person. Bach honored Kuhnau with taking some of Kuhnau's pieces and rearranging them and performing them in the Thomaskirche in honor of Kuhnau. Such an act only demonstrates that Bach honored Kuhnau. And I am sure that these two virtuosos are sitting together in Heaven, composing glorious praises for our Lord and God. How much fun it would be to see them together in a recital, enjoying a modern Bosendorfer Imperial Piano. Imagine that.
Bach was by many measures a greater composer than Kuhnau. Also, when Bach became Thomascantor (contemporary spelling) he refused to buy Kuhnau's scores from the Widow Kuhnau. No exaggeration is needed. Kuhnau was a fine composer.
La música de kuhnau evoca un mundo maravilloso donde la armonía y la belleza de cada notas juegan al estado más alto de la inspiración . Kuhnau no será un genio pero su música toca lo celestial para hablar con Dios .
que no es un genio ? ... que sino es un genio , sino alguien que es capaz de conmover a traves de su musica los corazones despues de mas de 300 años despues de haberla compuesto ?
Wondering what Bach had to follow when he assumed the Thomaskantor's position in Leipzig in 1723? Kaunau was Bach's predecessor. This is the music the Thomaners would have heard at chuch on Sunday morning. Notice the great trumpet parts? No reason to doubt the first trumpet part was played by Reiche, the same trumpeter for whom Bach wrote brilliant parts in BWV 51, the Christmas Oratorio and numerous other cantatas. Smug musical scholars like to write that Bach's music was "old." You want "old?" Listen at 6:00 and again at 7:31. Sounds like Pachelbel and Schutz. Luckily, this music has not been lost.
And if you listen to Bach's Cantatas carefully, you will find a lot of Kuhnau in them. Amazing, isn't it? :-) How happy we may be, that not all of these wonderul music works and their continuency isn't lost.
Not to pick nits, and trying to support the continuity that you suggest, but the Christmas Oratorio was written for Ruhe, not Reiche. As Reiche got older, others began to fill in...
P.S.: Viele dieser Komponisten waren eigentlich sehr modern, ich mag etwas provozierend feststellen, daß wenn sie schon E-Gitarren und Saxophone gehabt hätten, sie hätten sie verwendet....
There is no creation "out of nothing". Music history is so simplified that it is actually incorrect. Lending in music is like a "good day", it is "food" without which there are no successful future music pieces. Only those who are able to successfully vary the "idea" they take produce significant works. Even before Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann there were composers ... Even the great Mozart took musical ideas from many (Hermann Friedrich Raupach, Johann Gottfried Eckard, Johann Schobert, Leontzi Honauer , Chevalier de Saint-Georges.... Listen, compare how Giuseppe Gacaniga's "Don Giovanni Tenorio" (February 5, 1787) evolved into Mozart's "Don Juan" (October 29, 1787)! Or how Paisel's "Barber of Seville" ("Il Barbiere di Siviglia" in 1782 by Giovanni Paisiello) evolved into Mozart's "Figar's Marriage" (1786) as well as Rosie's "The Barber of Seville". Similarly: Pasquale Anfossi "La finta giardiniera (Anfossi)" (December 26, 1773) becomes Mozart's "La finta giardiniera" (January 13, 1775)....

Sehr schöne Ausführung der Melismen bei "Amen, Amen, Lob und Ehre". Wer singt denn da - Frauen oder Jungenstimmen?
Ich höre nur Männer und Frauen, keine Kinder
Here is the score of this cantata:

Aus der Art der Sache
Wer widerstände solcher musikalischen Schönheit?Seine Musik ähnelt sich gwm an Biber's Messen
Schenke ich gleich einem staatsanwalt ,mit Null schiss
