Events

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Johann Sebastian Bach has been the Thomaskantor and musical director of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig since May 30, 1723 . In 1729 he also took over the management of the Collegium musicum founded by Georg Philipp Telemann in 1701 . Through the additional management of the college, he considerably expands his scope in Leipzig's musical life. With this student ensemble he performs German and Italian instrumental and vocal music, including his own concerts that he wrote in Weimar and Köthen, which he will later transform into harpsichord concerts with up to four soloists. The concerts take place once or twice a week in the Zimmermannisches Caffee-Hauß (destroyed in the war in 1943) or in the associated garden.
  • June 27 : On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Confessio Augustana , Bach performs his cantata Wünschet Jerusalem Glück (BWV Appendix 4a) for the first time.
  • August 23 : Since the performance conditions in the Thomaskirche deteriorated overall in the first years of Leipzig, Bach felt compelled to document his ideas about the vocal and instrumental equipment of a "well-stocked church music" in a petition to the City Council of Leipzig . This "most necessary draft" is today an important source for the historical performance practice of his works.
  • September 17th : World premiere of the Bach cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen (BWV 51)
  • During this time, Bach tried to get the title of court composer in Dresden , because he was dissatisfied with the pay, the high cost of living and the Leipzig authorities, from whom he would like more support.
  • Johann Sebastian Bach becomes a father for the fourteenth time. The seventh child together with his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach , Christiana Benedicta (* / † 1730), is born.
  • The manuscript of the St. Luke Passion (BWV 246) was created around 1730 and, according to handwriting analyzes, was partially written down by Bach. Today's musicology assumes that it is Bach's copy of another composer's work. Bach presumably performs the Passion in Leipzig, or at least intends to do so.

Domenico Scarlatti

  • Domenico Scarlatti had been a music teacher and court conductor at the court of the pious and extravagant King John V in Lisbon since 1719. There he had met and taught the asthma sufferer of the Portuguese princess Maria Bárbara de Bragança . He followed her to Spain in 1729 when she married the Spanish heir to the throne Don Fernando of Asturias (from 1746 King Ferdinand VI. ). You first go to Andalusia, where the court initially travels back and forth between Seville , the Sierras, Granada , Cádiz and other port cities. The princess' harpsichords are transported on the back of mules. From October 1730 (until May 16, 1733) the Alcázares Reales in Seville became the permanent residence and place of work for Scarlatti.

Georg Philipp Telemann

  • Georg Philipp Telemann has been Cantor Johannei and Director Musices of the city of Hamburg since 1721 , one of the most respected musical offices in Germany. In this position Telemann undertook to compose two cantatas per week and one passion per year, but in later years he would fall back on earlier works for his cantatas. He also composes numerous pieces of music for private and public occasions, such as memorial days and weddings.
  • In addition, Telemann has taken over the management of the Hamburg Opera at Gänsemarkt for an annual salary of 300 thalers , rebuilds the Collegium musicum, which was founded by Matthias Weckmann in 1660 but has since ceased to perform, and also takes on a position as Kapellmeister for the court Margraves of Bayreuth . From time to time he delivers instrumental music and an opera there every year.
  • Telemann, who from 1725 also served as an agent for the Duke of Saxony-Eisenach and reported news from Hamburg to the Eisenacher Hof, passed this position on to the doctor Christian Ernst Endter in 1730 .
  • Georg Philipp Telemann publishes his almost general evangelical-musical song book , which contains over 2000 hymn melodies in different variations and is intended for organists.

Antonio Vivaldi

  • Antonio Vivaldi has been musical director of the Teatro Sant'Angelo in his hometown of Venice since 1726 . There, both as a composer and as a violin virtuoso, he became a living legend and a “pilgrimage destination” for many musicians from all over Europe.

Other biographical events

  • Antonio Bernacchi , who was engaged at the King's Theater in London in 1729 and sang in world premieres and revivals of Handel's works for the stage, returned to Italy in 1730. There he worked as a singer for another five years and founded a music school in Bologna in 1737.
  • After the death of the Duke of Kassel, Johann Adam Birkenstock becomes court conductor of the Grand Duke of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .
  • André Campra becomes Inspector General of the Paris Opera .
  • François Couperin is publishing the fourth volume of his 240 harpsichord works, which he has combined into 27 suites . The first three volumes of this work, which is the focus of his work, appeared in 1713, 1716/17 and 1722.
  • Johann Adolph Hasse , who earned the nickname il divino Sassone (“the divine Saxon”), is known beyond Italy through the success of Artaserse in the carnival season of 1730 in Venice . This is also his first collaboration with the poet Pietro Metastasio , with whom he will have a lifelong friendship. On July 20, Hasse marries the singer Faustina Bordoni, who is celebrated as “La nuova Sirena” . Since then, Bordini has operated as Faustina Hasse in Dresden libretti and as Faustina Bordoni-Hasse in Italian productions after 1730.
  • Benedetto Marcello is sent as Provveditore (Governor) of the Republic of Venice to Pola in Istria in today's Croatia . Marcello, who was already ailing, cannot stand the climate there and will return to Venice in 1737.
  • Pietro Metastasio , who had accepted the offer in September 1729, to be court poet ( poeta Cesareo ) at the Viennese imperial court of Charles VI. To become the successor of Apostolo Zeno arrives in Vienna in the early summer of 1730. He moves into a large apartment in City No. 1187, the “Great Michaelerhaus”. Here begins a completely new period in Metastasio's work. Between 1730 and 1740 his best dramas will be set to music and performed for the Imperial Court Theater. He also devotes himself to spiritual texts again; his Azione sacra La passione di nostro signore Gesù Cristo , composed in 1730, became one of the most frequently set oratorio texts of the late 18th century.
  • Senesino , who was one of the Academy's train numbers until the Royal Academy of Music was dissolved in London in 1728, rejoined this ensemble in 1730 after Georg Friedrich Handel founded the second opera academy. This time he receives a lower salary. The relationship between the two musicians is also deteriorating.
  • Leonardo Vinci , whose opera Artaserse premiered with great success in the Teatro delle Dame in Rome on February 4, 1730 , died in Naples between May 27 and May 29, 1730 . The circumstances of the sudden and likely unnatural death can never be fully clarified. It is said that he was poisoned because of a love affair. The burial costs are covered by the Rosary Brotherhood of the Church of Santa Caterina a Formiello .
