Oh, they heard eachother's work, and were well familiar of eachother. Bach had the greatest admiration for Händel, but unfortunately it seems the feeling was not mutual. And given Händel's bluntness, perhaps Bach was better off not meeting him. His son C. P. E. did meet Händel, however, and tried to arrange a meeting between J.S.B. and G.F.H., but Händel made excuses. Bach, on the other hand, would have dropped everything if given a similar opportunity.

Art music! I'm suprised there aren't more fans on youtube.

Very beautiful and appropriate for the reflective period of advent before the busy christmas tide.

Probably the greatest tune ever written by anybody, ever!

Unbelieveable music! Bach is the greatest musician/composer of all time in my opinion

@CHANOCDOGEN haha the same. I'm atheist but Sleepers Awake makes me want to be christian. the beauty is beyond what one person should be able to create... But Bach was the greatest musical genius of all time.

@CHANOCDOGEN God could be using this to strike a resonant chord within you! Keep seeking God with all of your heart and you will find Him!

This music always brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful! I don't believe in the christian God, but listening to this chorale I wish I did; then I could say: "Lord, praised be thy name, please reward with your love your servant J. S. Bach, who with his music made the rest of us proud to be human and grateful to be alive". Sadly, at this time, belief in God seems to be just a childish wish.

@Limpandtotheleft I am sad for you, a grown ass man who argues with people on the computer.

@kaleo183rd This song, Zion Hears the Watchman, is literally taken from the Bible, about the second coming of Christ, written by a professional church musician who was known for writing reams of religious music, like this particular piece, and you are surprised that people are discussing religious themes? Only listen to secular music if you don't like hearing about religion.
