I use this channel primarily to host videos for the music blogs above, especially for Polyphony Rocks! which has a daily post featuring the music of J.S. Bach. You'll find that many of the videos are individual movements from longer videos posted by others.
I have a more personal channel, originally created so I could make comments as myself, where I now post my own compositions, ru-vid.com/show-UC6VJBJqkE73Mg7d8q3BL_dw Feel free to visit!
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Danke für diese wundervolle Reportage. Ich besitze ein originales Portrait von Johann Sebastian Bach in Öl aus dem Jahren um 1724 ,aus seiner Zeit in Köthen. Sollte die internationale Bach-Forschung oder Sammler Interesse daran haben, setzen Sie sich bitte mit mir hier in Verbindung. Danke !
One of Bach's final compositions in it's complete form, it was started years before in application for a post as Kappellmeister in the court of Dresden. But the great irony is that he finished this monumental and sublime work knowing he would never hear it performed. Why? I like to think that, being Lutheran, he was not permitted to write the standard Catholic Mass which has a musical tradition going back several hundred years and was a genre written by a long list of great composers. Bach wished to add to this body of works and the tradition with his own masterpiece, his contribution to the literature. And we hear his genius on full display. The Kyrie is a piece not written in any form that can readily be defined: it is above, beyond what had come before. It is fugue, concerto, sonata at once, and neither of each. In it's entirety it is the SUMMA of Western Musical thought up to that time and made greater by Bach's hand and craftsmanship. Through that loftiness one can truly hear the voice of God Himself.
Jaco used to say that He and Jimmy Hendrix had built the towers of WTC by their hands .I always remember that and it makes 9/11 even more evil and sad. But Jaco's music will survive everything in my opinion and the world Will never have such a genius.Not just on bass guitar,but no one will ever make counterpoint like him.He was choosen by God and paid the price with his health. R.I.P. Jaco .I am sure you are in heaven.
I’m NOT a jazz guy by any stretch - BUT…it’s just an observation: Jaco definitely had to have loved this guy. When Scott launched into his solo bit and started playing… immediately I heard some licks that Jaco used. Again, it only an observation. Go easy on me here.
In 1969 when this happened, radio was a joy to listen to. This kind of music dominated the playlists at the leading radio stations over Europe. Each week some new now highly treasured, mainly rock songs, got its debut over the airwaves.
