Thank you. And Thank you also for all of the work you do to keep your website going. I am not ashamed to say that when I am hired to sing a new set of Cantatas, I reach for my dictionary, but I also look up all the translations that are available on your fabulous website. It is great to see the work of another devotee of the ultimate music...
Thanks, |

[To Aryeh Oron] Thanks very much for your recommendations, Aryeh! I will check out both of those recordings as well (or again).
Your comprehensive discographies for the alto cantatas have been extremely helpful to me in my search. In general, your site has been simply invaluable to me in the process of researching Bach works, recordings, and performers (especially in finding the rare recordings of incomplete or apocryphal works). I have also used it extensively while retagging my MP3 tracks with more comprehensive information. It is wonderful to be able to find the title, scoring, chorale melody, etc. of every movement in one place!! I have even gone so far as to write an Applescript that allows me to select a track in iTunes and automatically open the corresponding page on the BCW
Thank you so much!!! |

I am in a formulative but critical phase of a research project for my Masters in music therapy at the university of Limerick in Ireland. My topic of research is the chorale - or at least the use of chorale tunes and structures for therapeutic songwriting.
I have found the website a huge help in guiding me towards tunes, other sources etc and would like to acknowledge it in my formal reference list at the very least - <> |

<> On that occasion- Let there be no doubt: I positively think that your website is the most important one on the web! This sounds like a personal exaggeration but it is not: Bach is the greatest thing the human race has come up with and you thankfully prepared his website.
And another thing: Had you been around in 1750 we would have had at least one more Passion, at least 100 more cantatas, and god knows what else these great German culturalists lost and you would have saved...
Thank you Aryeh.

Åse Lunnan , NRK wrote (December 4, 2014):
I am a music librarian in the Norwegian Broadcasting Company and I use your website several times a week. It is extremely useful for cataloging Bach cantatas in our record library. I check the instrumentations for each and every aria, recitative etc. There is one thing I would love to see, and that is a “next movement”-button from movement to movement in a cantata or oratorio/passion. Then we wouldn’t have to click back to the cantata’s /oratorio’s main page every single time we want to check the next movement. This adds a lot of extra clicking, especially in the oratorios/passions. I need to check every movement.
Just a suggestion! J And thank you very much for your wonderful site! Couldn’t do my job without it |

Åse Lunnan , NRK wrote (December 4, 2014):
Thank you for answering! What you did with BWV 1 is exactly what I mean! But I do absolutely understand that this would be time consuming if you have to add the code on 2400 movements J Please don’t get yourself exhausted on my account.
Anyway, thanks again for the BCW, we are quite a few Bach fans in NRK, and we all check the site regularly. And the Lutheran Church Year feature with links to all the cantatas, dates etc – brilliant! |

And thank you for your great work on BWS which must be one of the most complete sites on Bach I know.
Allow me to introduce myself: I’m a German translator living in France for about 30 years, and my life partner is Dutch. She lives in Utrecht and, as a violist, is member of a well established Bach orchestra there, the Utrechtse Bachcantatediensten. Every month’s first Sunday, they perform a Bach Cantata, and this for 45 years now.
My friend is also responsible for editing the information leaflet for the audience, and she sometimes asks me to check the German text for mistakes. This time, I used your site to check on Cantata 122, and didn’t find any mistakes in the leaflet. <> |

[After adding inter-links to ALL the movement pages of Bach's vocal works, allowing the user movving back and forth between the movements]
That is truly impressing and extremely helpful. I noticed yesterday when cataloging BWV 232 that I could press “next movement” all through the mass, and it saved me a lot of time! Time that you’ve had to spend instead, scripting... but now I’ll be able to save a lot of time each and every time I work with Bach vocal works here in our library, and I am sure there are a lot of other people who’ll appreciate this too.
Thank you so much for doing this!! And thanks again for a great resource, your site makes my work a lot easier. |
