	The Musical Offering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Musical Offering (German title Musikalisches Opfer or Das Musikalische Opfer), BWV 1079, is a collection of canons and fugues and other pieces of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, based on a musical theme by Frederick II of Prussia (Frederick the Great) and dedicated to him.
		Some of the canons of the Musical Offering are represented in the original score by not more than a short monodic melody of a few measures, with a more or less enigmatic inscription in Latin above the melody.
		The performer(s) is/are supposed to interpret the music as a multi-part piece (a piece with several intertwining melodies), while solving the "riddle".

	Ten Canons of the Musical Offering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The guest was immediately asked to test Frederick's new Silbermann fortepianos and the ensuing display of technique was impressive enough for the emperor to propose a musical subject upon which Bach was requested to improvise a fugue.
		While it is known today--after its dedication--as the Musical Offering, Bach titled the cycle Regis Jussu Cantio Et Reliqua Canonica Arte Resoluta, an acrostic spelling "ricercar," the old-fashioned precursor of the fugue.
		The first canon of the Musical Offering is a "crab": it employs Frederick's royal theme with a second canonic voice stating the theme simultaneously backward.

	Dante's Musical Offering: Articles: ELISION Ensemble
		What authenticity could there be in music with a dense narrative element?´ Thinking back, I should have said `the authenticity of the hybrid is anchored in terror and beauty´, but my thoughts would not congeal properly in the sluggishness of that fetid atmosphere.
		This is not a backward glancing memorial to the medieval genius, but the conjuring of a polysemous art to unlock the mouths of ghosts past and future.
		To make music that talks to Dante not only requires a spirit of sustained necromancy, but ears sub-tuned to the outer frequencies of the heart, and a heart tuned to a mind that loves things of dimension.

	Math and the Musical Offering
		In music, a canon is a form in which two (or more) voices sing the same melodic line, but starting at different times.
		It is an appealing form, because it gives a very easy introduction to part-singing: there is only one melody to learn, but the harmonies that come from the play of one voice against the other can be very pleasing.
		Canon 2 in the Musical Offering is the simplest kind of canon, just like ``Row, row, row your boat.'' The score is also 8 measures long, but Voice 2 comes in after one measure.

		The Musical Offering is the name of a set of pieces that Bach wrote for king Frederick II of Prussia.
		In the evening, around the time when the chamber music concerts usually take place [7 to 9 pm] at the royal residence (in the apartments), the king was told that Bach had arrived and that he was waiting in the antechamber where he requested permission to come in and listen to the music.

		The Musical Offering of history fame is well presented here, with fine harpsichord, finished off by a grand riercar.
		For the Musical Offering try Leonhardt and for the Art of the Fugue there are numerous better sets, for instance the Gould keyboard recording, or the Jordi Savall peformance that includes both of the works.
		To be fair though it should be said that The Art of Fugue and to some extent the Musical Offering are two of Bach's most abstract and "conceptual" works so it is no wonder that one might have trouble capturing all its dimensions on cd.

		For background on Bach and his work, including the story of the Musical Offering and why the ``royal theme'' is so called, see Tim Smith's Web site The Canons and Fugues of J. Bach.
		In each of these canons a musical line is played twice (or four times in Canon 10).

		It's very heady and more soulful/emotional than you're likely to find in many other interpretations of his music, and without straying from what I think Bach had in mind with his music.
		If the final fugue represents a journey into the after-life, then this chorale could be thought of as music from the other side, and as the only piece worthy of being played after the final fugue.
		But the most striking aspect is that this Art of the Fugue & Musical Offering are so emotional, they go straight to my heart.
