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.

The professor is so right about Bach being multi-faceted!

He invented nothing but PERFECTED everything!

good special, but the filming is very distracting. Not every frame needs to have the margins out of focus, it just gets disorienting to the viewer.

@alejandra379 Would you be kind enough to tell me what piece plays right at the beginning of this video? It starts from the end of the previous video I think. It is glorious and I'm very eager to know what it is. Thanks :-)
