I've been studying Bach's chorales for years. It's my go-to when it comes to re-discovering functional harmony. I used this chorale as a basis for my own unreleased composition I wrote for the Gaudeamus Festival called "Selig Licht," or saving light in German.
I analyze scores from the point of view as a composer that is trying to gain insight on how to apply what I'm hearing to my own work. There are many things about my analysis that overlap with how one might go about this in a "music theory class" setting, but this is not my primary motivation for this video.
