  • I'm quite happy with how this one turned out. It was a lot of work, but I think it paid off. This is the opening chorus of the oratorio, Herr, unser Herrscher, dessen Ruhm in allen Landen herrlich ist! I'll do a lot of choral music on this channel. If there's a piece you particularly like, please tell me about it in the comments.

      I love listening to bach in that aspect, I focus to bass when listening a piece the first time, which is so hard and all the sounds above it are more easily audible (maybe my headphones are shitty). And on the 2nd run I try to hear all of them all together, and it is mostly ultra satsfying, trippy and makes me dizzy.

    Wow! For some reason, these 8-bit Music videos make it so you can hear Bach's CHORD CHANGES (his homophonic textures). Bach's sons said he did write some songs, but they were "weird" and not his most popular pieces. However, the St. John is said to have been his return to popularity late in life. I would venture to say that it was popular BECAUSE it has some of the most original ("weird") chord changes.

    No kind of instrument can destroy this grateful music, no composer who has to compete with him will miss him as the end opponent of his boss level of composing. Even bad musicians have a big task to ruin this beautiness of art.
    Hear this genius tension over minutes beating in your heart, life how it feels really when you're only honest to yourself. Bach had to be so honest with himself. SBG.

    Bach est le plus grand de tous les compositeurs. Tout est parfait dans sa musique.
    Quant à la passion selon St. Jean, je la préfère à la St. Mathieu (qui est sublime également) car infiniment plus dramatique. Le chœur d'entrée de la St. Jean est d'un dramatisme prenant. On sent que le crime va avoir lieu et les dissonances des hautbois y sont pour beaucoup. Quelle musique !
    La meilleure interprétation pour moi de ce chœur d'ouverture est celle enregistrée par Eugen Jochum (Philips), malgré que mon interprète préféré de la musique sacré du grand Jean-Sébastien est et restera toujours Helmuth Rilling.

Сравните Генделя и Баха, текст у них один, но насколько различны по музыкальному и смысловому наполнению они. У Баха при прослушивании создается четкая картина происходящего, у Генделя такого не наблюдал...
