Simon Russell Beale explores the flowering of Western sacred music. With music performed by The Sixteen, conducted by Harry Christophers, Beale explores how Martin Luther, himself a composer, had a profound effect on the development of sacred music, re-defining the role of congregational singing and the use of the organ in services. Ultimately, these reforms would shape the world of JS Bach and inspire him to write some of the greatest sacred music.

[jormundgard]

@pan02286 Palestrina's Gloria.

[Teigen64]

Bach's music is the best.

[The1hope4all]

@micheldvorsky Yes, I noticed that too. Isn't it unfair, when some people are extremely talented, and good looking as well? If you are incredibly good at something, you could at least have the decency to be ugly, to make up for it....

[12x12surface]

It seems like there are only 2 kinds of music where it is universally liked.

Bach and Stevie Wonder. It doesn't matter if you are a rapper, a heavy metal rocker, a pop artist, or a turntablist - everyone agrees that these 2 musicians gets mad respect.

[TheZooomm]
