Muller is ridiculously good, watching and listening to this makes you feel really there. Also can't believe Bach wrote such complex music like that. The man was the greatest ever and I don't think it's even a matter of opinion anymore haha. Thank's for another awesome upload.
@@jaikee9477 Some Renaissance composers accomplished contrapuntal feats that rivaled Bach, but the difference is that with those composers ingenuity was almost an end-in-itself, whereas with Bach's music expression is always foremost.
Has anyone here ever noticed what the prelude in this magnificent piece is about? Bach turns the eight-note major scale into a tribute to the Trinity? (It is, after all, composed in 9/8 time.) Do-re-mi; mi-fa-sol; sol-la-ti; do. If you never have, listen to it again with that in mind, remembering that the Trinity is praised in almost every piece Bach wrote.
I have always especially found the prelude to be uplifting. When I was an agnostic I thought it was celebrating the glory of Man, but when I became a Christian I understood that Bach is celebrating the glory of God. His glory is further reflected in the composer's genius which reveals the Imago Dei in us.
Another recording of Van Doeselaar playing Bach. Still struck by the combination of mature clarity combined with a youthful vivacity to his playing. What a treasure to end my day with #547 played by a Master.
This piece is in fact one of the favorites of my father who was a reasonable good organist (he died suddenly in 2003). The theme of the preludium reminds me of the dutch liturgical song 'De steppe zal bloeien' (text: Huub Oosterhuis; melody: Antoine Oomen) that is often sung during the Easter time. If this song was the last song of a mass, my father played this preludium and fugue. It is in fact a magnificent piece of music. I myself use the preludium melody as ringtone of my cell phone.
I have been told that by listening to this type of music can help me with ADHD so I'm giving it a go! I'm not expecting miracles, so I will listen as often as possible 👂

@@herrickinman9303 you're right about @giacomo zaccone's use of the word "prominent," but this is certainly a piece of "Church Music." Especially considering that the vast majority of organs are found in churches. Preludes and Postludes, aren't necessarily part of the Liturgy, but they're part of a church service. A priest's Homily is also not part of the liturgy, but you would still consider it a "church" thing. Finally, Bach wrote nearly all his music "for the glory of God," can't get much more church than that.
Die Fuge von BWV 547 habe ich ab Takt 15, 2º Teil bis Takt 35 immer auf dem 2º Klavier gespielt (am liebsten Schwellwerk oder BW). Dás, und vor allem dass in der gesamten Fuge die 1/8 Fugenfiguren konsequent nicht legato sondern ostinato gespielt werden entwickelt gegenüber den 1/16, die legato zu spielen sind, eine enorme intrinsische Dynamik. Beide verleihen der Fuge mit der eingeführten Terrassendynamik einen enormen Schub zur Gesamtdynamik.
This man plays the organ with his whole body (and soul). He reminds me of Bob Dylan playing the piano in one of his manic moods! (This is a compliment)
l generally like pieces in 9/8 metre, like the splendid Prelude here. 9/8 it's present also in the Chorales BWV 650 and 674; the Chorale BWV 608 "In dulci jubilo" has an equivalent metre, 3/2 with crotchet triplets.
@@cromorno8749 OK. Thanks for the clarification. Anyway there are organs in which there is only a bordun in the manuals and do have a 32 reed in the pedals. Not in this tradition, though. Bach's celebrated uncle had just such an organ.
Can someone explain to me why the tuning of this organ sounds a half step sharp? It’s interesting to me that this baroque organ is tuned sharp when my understanding has been baroque tunings have been flatter than todays standard.
I've been scouting around for Bach's earliest works written in his teens. Is this the "Prelude and Fugue in C major for organ" that he wrote in 1703, when he was 18 years old? I found two other works with the exact same name, BWV 545 and BWV 553. Is this the right one from 1703? It sounds like something Bach would've written before he really got his fugue skills going. Am I right to assume this?

A very prominent performance by Doeselaar and a great emotion for me to hear from this great piece of Church Music from the Kantor of Leipzig
_Prominent_ means famous. _Emotion_ is a state of mind. This piece is not "Church Music." It has no liturgical function.
