During JS Bach’s lifetime, in Germany and throughout Europe, public performances were made up almost entirely of new works by living composers. Unlike other music, the Bach motets were held in such high regard that they continued to be performed after the composer’s death. The publication of Forkel’s On Johann Sebastian Bach’s Life, Genius and Works in 1802 marked the beginning of what became known as the Bach revival. This was one of the earliest examples of historical research influencing concert programs. The Bach Motets were therefore part of a new phenomenon, which has resulted in audiences of today enjoying a treasure chest of six hundred years of music.
