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.

What is the piece that plays at 8:55 till the end??? I really hope someone can help me identify it, it is exquisite! :-)

Thanks

@zacman4u it's Buxtehude's Prelude in A minor. (BuxWV153)

[zacman4u]

@jormundgard : Thank you :-)

Isn't it odd that a very scant amount of the music in this program are named? If the famous BWV 1007 Cello Suite Prelude's information could be displayed for five seconds, I doubt that the rest of the music in this documentary would have been so difficult to tag as well.

My question is; how come no one wanted to marry the daughter? I mean was she that bad or what? And lastly did she ever marry?

4:58 Prelude from Cello Suite No.1 - I love the attack that the player gives to this piece.

The Germany's countryside looks very beautiful.

How can one NOT smile when they hear this?!

[RiccardoP1983]

That's no the Buxtehude's organ. The original one was destroyed during WW2, you can search on Google.

Buxtehude's organ in Lubeck is truly amazing. I hope I can visit the Marienkirche someday! I echo byron92806 - WOW!
