Doles and the tradition of Bach performance
Doles and the tradition of Bach performance
He also took lessons from Bach. After working in Freiberg, he returned to Leipzig as Kantor at the Thomasschule in 1756.
Doles wrote a manuscript treatise on singing which may preserve some elements of Bach's own methods. In 1789, the last year he conducted the Thomanerchor, he directed the performance of Bach's motet Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied that reportedly made a deep impression on Mozart.
