Komm Süsser Tod (Come Sweet Death) - J S Bach

[mortified0]

I know...I know I've let you down...I've been a fool to myself...I thought that I could live for no one else...

[jasonfranko]

thank you very much for music and sheet.

[RaxielTheBlackTerror]

IT ALL COMES TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN

[hunterhalo2]

Played at my mothers funeral by her request after a long fight with cancer. I always feel alright after listening to this piece through.

[karlakor]

This is entirely too slow. There is no sense of rhythm or meter.

[redbull101991]

@karlakor it's probably because you don't feel it :P

[silverstartrucker]

@karlakor - Rhythm???

[sheps999]

You wouldn't happen to have a decent quality MP3 of this, would you?

[l000kin]

This is too slow, that it totally ruins the rhythm of this wonderful piece! It should be played slow, but it has not only beautiful harmony and this is too slow and also out of tempo. Virgil Fox had not bad ideas, but he made it out of bound of mind. Also the Tutti-version is after a while too aggressive and disturbing, that I cant concentrate on the music.

Silverstartrucker, essa passagem de seu amigo só pode ser entendida pelos que creem no Espírito, na Essência. Vi alguns comentários desairosos aqui. Não ligue pra eles. O importante é o que seu coração lhe traduziu as palavras de seu amigo. Leia NOSSO LAR e AÇÃO E REAÇÃO, você irá entender o que lhe digo em minha própria língua. abraços, e LUZ pra você!

How in the world Gainax and Arianne got their End of Eva version out of this I'll never know.

[Edison6101]

Thinking of my younger brother, 54, who is suffering and dying of liver cancer.

[imgordonfreeman]

@pienskybynby jesus,,, just died alreayd..

[Smellycats4eva]

This plus lacrimosa by mozart, perfect dinner music when you are having guests to freak them out

[753159656]

stupenda musica. Innalza l'anima a Dio

[YunkoLaputa]

What‘s the connection with Komm Süsser Tod in EVA?????

[hotelmario510]

@YunkoLaputa Nothing much, the title just means "Come, Sweet Death", and the EVA version is about someone preparing to commit suicide.

[fomalhaut86]

@YunkoLaputa Title I guess

[dustermouse]

This has to be one of Bach's best! it can be played over and over! I too agree that Virgil Fox would approve of this music!

[Xenocide31337]

@tylersimms100

Damn, my computer doesn't seem to want to post... if you're reading this I guess it worked! Anyway that's cool, and good timing. I got my AS results back today, and unfortunately, I wound up as 8th alternate for violins, which makes no sense... even our bass, who was a finalist in a NATIONAL competition as a FRESHMAN just got into Commonwealth this year.

[InvocationXII]

@Xenocide31337 yeah my youtube does it all the time. i just have to assume that it's already posted and leave it alone lol

[Xenocide31337]

I've played this song twice now, once for Kentucky All-State (it was great!). Apparently this song was for the Lutheran church, where "Come Sweet Death" is not morbid, but is actually a great thing.

[tylersimms100]

@Xenocide31337 I was there too! We also played Shosty #5!

[Howie262]

Lie thy head now to rest....

Completed have you your final quest...

Loyal to the end you have to thy last breath...

earnith thee your sweet eternal dream after death....

thats what i made up while listening to this song lol.

i love this piece, its so releasing........

[cb77305]

Does anyone know if there a Busoni transcription? I have his for the d-minor Chaconne.  Busonni must've had huge hands because I cannot stretch some of the chords.

[Zelrio28]

I saw "my version" and immediately clicked "dislike."

[dorot2008]

Come sweet death...how I welcome thee with open arms. Carry thee to Heaven's gate and let thee walk sweetly into His arms...

[Thepussfagslut]

This inspired Cliff Burton to the main riff of Damage, Inc. Cool!

[joachimhaupt]

This WILL be played at my funeral. Yet another beautiful Bach piece.

[lyonsin]

on dirait le requiem de mozart en très lent

[iknewthtduhh45]

one of my highschool bands (we have 2) is playing this and i never realized how slow it actually is lol

[slayerfan2020]

Man, my high school played this, and I really wish I personally could have played it better.

[gan0nsl4y3r]

wish i could find the sheet for this, i have looked everywhere

[silverstartrucker]

@gan0nsl4y3r - I have Virgil Fox's version of this piece on my site and someone asked about sheet music for it. AT THE ORGAN WITH VIRGIL FOX. Published by Alfred Publishing Co. ISBN O-7692-4192-1

[neelsdp1]

Thanks for posting...

[brianjnunes]

wow

[silverstartrucker]

I like this as much as I like my Virgil Fox version at the Wanamaker

[marcellny]

it gives me chills.

[redbull101991]

@marcellny it's the only piece I know I can't play but not because it's too hard but because it's so moving I am just unable to finish it. In fact most Bach works are too hard for me but this one is absolutely unique and beautiful!

[silverstartrucker]

Just before a friend died of Cancer he told me that he was slowly moving into a beautiful white light. A voice told him twice to go back and he said he had come back to suffering. But he went into that light shortly after and is now at peace. The second verse of this piece depicts; On entering the kingdom of God.

Beautiful and what a sound. Virgil would have approved!

[Bobofwestoregonusa]

Wow.. That's buetiful. I mean it.

[ChestrCopperpot]

@silverstartrucker loool

[icyth]

@silverstartrucker your friend went to a type of hell/paradise, he accepted death by choosing not to live. this is where people go when they die, a false paradise that's only partially good but infinitely painful because it does not join us together completely, only ever partially, he chose not to live for others just because it was painful so where do you think he went? I've seen many lights, and I went there but those places just assume that you won't love everybody equally/perfectly and I do.

[dano132454]

@silverstartrucker holy shit . are you reallly that fuckin stupid
