Imagine a grand house on a hill, after dark on an autumn night. As the door opens, an organ pierces through the thick silence and echoes through the cavernous halls. The tune that comes to many minds will be Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, an organ work composed in the early 18th century. Most people today recognize it as a sonic icon of a certain type of fear: haunting and archaic, the kind of thing likely to be manufactured by someone – a ghost, perhaps – wearing a tuxedo and lurking in an abandoned...

It seems it should be the opposite, that Mozart should be grafted onto Bach. But in this instance, I can't hear any player of the Gigue from Bach's French Suite No. 5, playing it with any vision of how it should sound, so fast that they just seem to want to get through it so their teachers, who assigned them the piece, will get off their backs. (It seems like they all hate the piece, as if they're escaping from hell while being dished out a dose of castor oil.) My vision is for the French Suite No. 5 Gigue...

An American radical, who dedicated a book to the devil, Saul Alinsky, proposed an operating principle of "rubbing grievances raw" so radical elites can gain power at people's expense. An example is an African-American Hunter College of CCNY music theory professor, Philip Ewell, who criticizes his Dad for liking the music of J.S. Bach. Music professor calls his black dad racist for liking BachMeanwhile, the nation of Brazil happily goes about celebrating with strongly Bach-flavored music, its cultural "Frederick Douglass", an early 20th century Black musical pioneer who fused the Afro-Portuguese culture of Brazil, (strongly Bach-influenced by composer Heitor Villalobos'...

Your opinion is as important as anyone's, but for your own satisfaction, you need to do some heavy lifting, to develop the self discipline of exploring works with which you may not be familiar, and broadening your horizons. Professional musicologists have no better taste than you, but they can get lost down the rabbit hole of their own studies. (Our opinions are as good as anyone else's.) You can imbibe some of the greatest music ever written, but you should seek an experienced guide–it has been my hobby for 40 years. (An academic sent me in a wrong direction, claiming...

Burning crosses on the front lawn and liking Bach are one in the same to this scholar A music theory professor at Hunter College of the City University of New York said his own father, who is black, was a white supremacist because he liked “Bach.” Professor Philip Ewell made the claims in a profile piece in the Yale Daily News. The university recently gave him its Wilbur Cross Award for “making the whiteness of music theory a topic of conversation,” the student paper reported. Ewell is so good at identifying “whiteness” and “white supremacy” that he even saw it...

Pope emeritus Benedict XVI has praised the “glorious music” of Johann Sebastian Bach in a message to a festival in Germany. In a statement released July 27 by the organizers of the 2021 Bach Festival in Leipzig, Benedict XVI noted that the festival would include a cycle called “Bach’s Messiah,” chronicling the life of Jesus through the composer’s music. “The particularity of this festival is that it has merged the works of Bach relating to the life and work of Jesus Christ of Nazareth into a whole, thus giving us a kind of ‘Messiah’ by Bach,” he wrote. The Bach...

I like to take a different perspective on things as I think you learn different things from different approaches. This goes chronologically through a range of artists, so you can see what people were painting around the same time. Starts earlier than Impressionist Period and goes a bit later. Two sections - first On View; second Not On View. Artists listed at the end in their order of appearance in the video. Trevor Pinnock's Bach's Goldberg Variations - 7, 11 and 22.

For many years I listened to a compilation CD of Bach's Adagios and Largos (Slow Pieces), and I LOVED this 8 minute meditation from St. John's Passion. I don't speak German, and didn't have a clue what it was about, but I love the piece. This is a very nice rendition of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arrA7DBmeNI

Jenny Wong is the Associate Conductor of the LA Master Chorale. Wong says she’s excited to conduct the six motets by J.S. Bach for many reasons, not the least of which is the incredible depth of the music. “All of us, undoubtedly, who we study Bach’s music, you’re always going to leave it feeling like you can’t study it enough. There’s just so much more to get to know about it. Because Bach’s music there’s such an order to it. And yet, it’s never just because it’s academic. It’s useless to talk about Bach without talking about the reason for...
