  • @bacogare believe,,,,He is there1

  • is this compressed?

  • there is nothing remarkable about music , just play the right notes at the right time and the instrument plays itself - J S Bach - on a crappy day perhaps...and he had many did he not..

  • I don't believe in god, but I believe in music :)

  • I believed that's the kind of love I had...

  • May I have a question?

    Why can't resist this video on "My Favorite List"?

    Do you restrict or prohibit?

  • oh lordy

  • @pierrot79 A year after the 1st performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, the author of the libretto, the Leipzig poet Picander, published a cycle of cantata poetry for the Leipzig churches and wrote in the preface: "I flatter myself that the lack of poetic charm may be compensated for by the loveliness of the music of our incomparable Capellmeister Johann Sebastian Bach."

    How do you reconcile Picander's remarks with your notions about "the taste of the church in Leipzig"?

  • @pierrot79 When Bach was hired in 1723, composers had not stopped using what you naively call "highly ornamented counterpoint" in church music. His predecessor had used it. Even your Telemann used it in his own church music. Messiah and Creation would not have fit the liturgy of Leipzig's churchES or any other Lutheran church of Bach's era.
