Johann Sebastian Bach trug im Laufe seines Lebens eine umfangreiche musikalische Bibliothek zusammen, die sich heute nur noch bruchstückhaft rekonstruieren lässt. Sie spiegelt Bachs bereits in jungen Jahren einsetzende und bis ins hohe Alter anhaltende Neugierde, Kompositionen unterschiedlicher Epochen und Stile kennen zu lernen. Die zwei vollständigen Messen und sechs einzelne Messsätze von Palestrina belegen Bachs Interesse an Kompositionen des 16. Jahrhunderts. In seinen Weimarer Jahren nutzte Bach die Werke zunächst für eine theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit dem stile antico, seinen Eigenarten der Stimmführung und der modalen Harmonik. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren in Leipzig plante Bach Aufführungen von zumindest zwei der Messen. In diesem Zusammenhang ergänzte er die Werke durch Instrumentalstimmen und einen Basso continuo. Die von Bach eingerichteten Messen von Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina bilden ein wichtiges Dokument zur Aufführungspraxis von Werken des strengen Stils im 18. Jh.

Composer
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
| 1525-1594The Italian Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is one of the most important composers of the Renaissance. His oeuvre comprises around 950 compositions in the genres of motet, mass, madrigal, offertory, lamentatio, hymn, canzone, etc. His 'Missa Papae Marcelli' became particularly famous. His personal style, the contrapuntal vocal polyphony, predominantly a cappella, has become a model in church music for centuries. Palestrina was appointed papal singer at the Sistine Chapel in Rome in 1555 and was also organist and bandmaster in various churches in Rome and the surrounding area throughout his life.
