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 music is the Sanctus from the Millenium Mass by James MacMillan!

I also came here hoping to identify the music at 6:19. It's very powerful and surprisingly dischordant.

@iroveashe Sorry, I just tried doing some more research, I have no idea, I'm not even sure of the text of the piece, it's certainly stunning though.

[iroveashe]

@bedrosbb I came here hoping to know who's music was that. Did you ever find out?

[Nizlopi2]

@melman74b There's always YouTube -> MP4 Converter... :)

Wonderful

[bedrosbb]

What a FANTASTIC documentary, I absolutely love it. What is the music at 6:13? Doesn't sound like something Bach would have heard.

[melman74b]

Thanks for putting this out. There's no way to buy this - at least it's not on Amazon or BBC's websites for purchase today.
