Christ lay in the bonds of death

    question 1. Describe at least one way in which Bach’s cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden (Christ lay in the bonds of death) borrows from older genres or styles, and at least one way in which it shows Bach’s knowledge of contemporary or emerging composition techniques. Specify which movement and measures show the features you identify. 2. Now that you have studied both movements from a cantata and a concerto (Brandenburg #5) by Bach, which one do you find to be the more successful piece and why?
