Bach's Sinfonia ("We thank Thee, God") should be the theme music for Diane Bish's TV series, "The Joy of Music," because if any piece expresses an almost jubilant rejoicing in God, this is it.

@KevinByrne2 It was for several seasons on the program.

will anybody have an idea on what the very last stoop she pulls write before the last chord ? thnks

[bishfan]

Based on where her hand goes, I'd say it was something from the Trompetera Division.

@musiccritic1910 OMG you are such a retarded bigot. lol just go away

[ELuhn]

An excellent performance, a brilliant composition, and tiresome proselytizing.

@AggieMaestro Sorry could not attach it... However, tis Mr Paul Jacobs at the Crystal cathedral organ; it's on youtube. :)

[christianvs1]

@AggieMaestro Indeed! I think this is too fast and lacks the class and dignity of the German Baroque. On the other hand, tis not wrong, per se, to be this American. However, we have another American performing with more sympathy for the style and elegance of the era. I have posted this above in the "video reply" section.

perfect and amazing :D

[Peterbj]

I've never heard this piece played so fast and so perfect. Wow!

[MDLRX8]

@MrAlex413x I would say it had to be the 32' Contra Bombarde - she reached for the pedal division, and you can clearly hear that stop being added just for the last chord.

[AggieMaestro]

Does anyone know of a better rendition than this? It's the best I've heard. I could just be unexposed, however.

[carloschant]

I really like what she said in the very beginning. Whether secular or sacred to God alone be the glory with the help of Jesus!

[Leisesturm]

Does anyone know whose arrangement she is playing? I just got one and it is in C major. This one and others on Youtube are all in Dmajor and there is a lot more going on in the left hand than the arrangement I bought. Hmmmm.
