The online features for this issue include audio examples for the article "J.S. Bach and the Concerto: Ritornello Structure as a Guide to Rehearsal" and also the article "Bach's Use of the Chiasm in the St. John Passion".

Note: In order to hear the following examples, you'll need to have RealPlayer on your computer. You might already have it, so first try clicking on one of the links to see what happens. If you don't yet have it, a free version is available by clicking on the image to the right (the free version is named "RealPlayer 8 Basic." They will try to get you to buy the "Plus" version for about $30.) These examples won't work if you have an older RealPlayer program, such as version 5.0 or earlier. You must have a more recent version, either RealPlayer 7, 8, or RealPlayer G2.

Please make sure you have the November 2000 issue of the Choral Journal in front of you. Details about each of the following examples are found in the article.
