Bach arrived at the small Court of AnhaltCöthen to hold the position of
Capellmeister, the highest rank given to a
musician during the baroque age. His
master was the young prince Leopold of
Anhalt-Cöthen, barely twenty-five years old,
the son of a Calvinist. As the Calvinists
were antagonistic to the splendors of the
Lutheran liturgy, there was no church music
at Cöthen; however, the young Prince's
religious beliefs did not bar him from
enjoying a cheerful and cultivated style of
living complete with secular cantatas and
instrumental music featuring the latest
styles and fashions.
