INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BAROQUE AESTHETICAL CANON IN THE „CRUCIFIXUS” FROM J. S. BACH’S MASS IN B MINOR

Summary/Abstract: The proposed work, within the theme "Art between canon and interpretation" has as its main purpose to present and highlight some details related to the Baroque aesthetic. These aspects will be highlighted through the aesthetic ideals of the time, the supreme ideal being that of the sublime, as it emerges from the researches of theorists and, of course, from the musical masterpieces of Baroque composers. Also, one will be able to note important details, which refer to the theory of affects, highlighted by the theorists of the respective times. Regarding the analysis of "Crucifixus" from the Mass in B minor, composed by J. S. Bach, we will focus our attention on the two aesthetical categories present in this work, namely the tragic category and that of the sublime, categories that will emphasize that antithesis, present in the life of the main Hero, which served as a source of inspiration for this masterpiece. The ending of this article will also focus on some aspects about the expressiveness of the general tonality, e minor and last but not least, with some general details about the rhetorical figures found throughout the composition "Crucifixus".
