Johann Christoph Bach: Ciacona Mein Freund ist mein

Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703) "The profound composer". "Mein Freund ist Mein", aria-ciacona from the cantata "Meine Freundin, du bist schön " The Four Nations Ensemble Live performance from the concert "Five Parts and Foreign Influences" Thursday, January 19th, 2023 The Church of the Heavenly Rest, New York City Pascale Beaudin, soprano Olivier Brault, solo violin Nicole Divall, Kristen Linfante, Chloe Fedor, violas Loretta O'Sullivan & Keiran Campbell, cello Andrew Appel, harpsichord Johann Christoph was the first cousin once removed of Johann Sebastian and the uncle of Maria Barbara, Johann Sebastian’s first wife and mother of Wilhelm Friedeman and Carl Phillip Emanuel. His music is shockingly expressive, daring in its use of dissonance, sometimes Wagnerian! He merits the esteem felt by Johann Sebastian. His music is astonishing and this setting of the erotic words from the "Song of Song" is a celebration for violin and voice. The imagination and virtuosity of the violin throughout Europe has its origins in the hands of Italian itinerant fiddlers who traveled from one feast to another improvising on well-known dance tunes. These demi-monde players thrilled revelers at weddings with unruly, indecorous, rule-breaking riffs. They were the jazzing talents of their day and appropriately, Bach’s uncle Johann Christoph incorporates this sparkling fiddling in his wedding cantata. He sets the erotic images of the Song of Songs quite simply for the vocalist but with a series of dizzying elaborations for the bad-boy violin accompanied by three violas and bass who serve as a back-up group. When we watch the playfulness in this work, when the violin responds to the vocalist singing “I am sick with love,” do we also think of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, of Billy Holiday and Duke Ellington?
