Bach Cantatas Website - Introduction (1069 words) |
 | The list of cantatas to be discussed is suggested about every 10 weeks by one of the members of the list. |
| You can see the list of cantatas, which have already been discussed, as well as the list of the cantatas, which are planned to be discussed in the forthcoming weeks, in the Order of Discussion page. |
| It was agreed between the members of the list that the cantatas would be discussed more or less according to their relation to the Lutheran Church Year. |

Conducting (596 words) |
| A conductor resident with an orchestra (as opposed to a guest conductor) who has involvement with the policies of an orchestra or opera company is sometimes known as a musical director, or nowadays by the German word Kapellmeister. |
| In opera performances there were sometimes two conductors - one at the keyboard in charge of the singers, and the principal violinist in charge of the orchestra. |
| Wagner was largely responsible for shaping the conductor's role as somebody who imposes his own view of a piece onto the performance rather than somebody who is simply responsible for ensuring entires are made at the right time and that there is a unified beat. |
