Bach by John Bosco Connor is a comprehensive study of the influence of Gregorian chant and medieval hymn tunes in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The book explores the historical and musical context of Bach's use of chant and hymns, analyzing the specific ways in which he incorporated these elements into his compositions. Connor examines Bach's use of chant and hymns in various genres, including his cantatas, motets, and organ works. He also considers the theological and liturgical significance of these musical forms in Bach's time, and how they were used to enhance the meaning and emotional impact of his music. The book includes musical examples and analyses, as well as historical and cultural background information, making it accessible to both scholars and non-specialists. Overall, Gregorian Chant and Medieval Hymn Tunes in the Works of J.S.
