Cantata Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her by Hans Peter Türk

Summary/Abstract: This article, conducted as part of doctoral research, proposes an analysis of the Christmas cantata Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her from the creation of the Cluj composer Hans Peter Türk. The work is characterized by unity in diversity. The unity is represented by the chorale melody that remains unchanged from the beginning to the end of the work. The diversity results from the multitude of variants in which the Lutheran chorale is processed and harmonized (timbral, rhythmic, dynamic, harmonic diversity). Hans Peter Türk thus continues the tradition of the Bachian Lutheran cantata, writing a valuable work with a strong liturgical message.
