He was born in Eisenach, in what is now central Germany. Bach lived from 1685 to 1750, The Baroque period was a 150-year period in music, dating from 1600 to 1750. Baroque music is Western Classical Music that followed the Renaissance period. Baroque music features drama, ornamentation, major and minor tones, and was presented in new ways – – like the Opera, Concerto, and Sonata, Baroque composers included BACH, HANDEL, VIVALDI. M9 AIR ON A G-STRING, JS BACH, 1730, BWV 1068 (2:27). Bach probably used the CLAVICHORD to compose most of his music. The Clavichord is small, lightweight and would not disturb people. The clavichord was very temperamental, because it required tuning before each play, just like a violin or guitar. The keyboard instruments of the day were referred to as a general category: the “KLAVIER”….these included HARPSICHORD, CLAVICHORD, ORGAN and PIANOFORTE. Bach's favorite KLAVIER instrument was the LAUTENWERK or LUTE HARPSICHORD with animal gut strings. The writing of music was in support of GOD and KINGS. Over time, Baroque Music evolved into what is today known as the modern Orchestra. Bach was a prolific composer, writing hundreds of pieces for solo instruments, particularly the organ. He also wrote pieces for orchestra and choir. Bach is MOST known for writing two or more melodies or voices against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. Bit Bucket A BWV catalog number is a unique identifier for musical works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, standing for Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (Bach Works Catalogue). Today I will present 9 compositions, dating from 1710 to 1731, during the time Bach was about age 25 to 45. M1 TOCCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR M.2 ADAGIO, 1710-1717, BWV 564 (4:20) Our first piece — TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). an ORGAN COMPOSITION. It is taken from a 1959 album of BACH ORGAN WORKS . The movement is called ADAGIO ….which indicates “At Ease”, or “Slow and Stately”. Tempo is only 66-76 BPM. like the resting heart rate for many people. Great liner notes. HERE IS AN excerpt from the liner notes on that album – – QUOTE “OUR BACH” said the obituary notice, “was the greatest organ and clavier player that ever lived”. Though it may seem strange to us now, Bach's genius during his life was recognized only as a master of the organ—not as a composer. It was actually over a hundred years after his death that his works revealed him as a unique and mighty composer. His reputation as an organist brought many invitations to test new organs and advise on the construction of them. UNQUOTE As with most of his organ works , there is no autograph or manuscript score from Bach, his organ work manuscript copies are lost. This song has a CONCERTO style and rhythm. We will hear the 2nd or ADAGIO movement. . It is all very calm and beautiful and pastoral and serene…until Bach pulls out all the stops in the last minute of this ADAGIO movement. He is really rocking the walls and windows of that church. Without any further adieu, here is TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). PLAY M2 SHOW PLUG – DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL ! That was…M2 MUSICAL CREDIT: This Bach organ work was recorded on the Luneburg Organ at St. Johanniskirche, in the town of Luneburg, in northern Germany, the organist is Professor Michael Schneider. This LP was produced and released on the SOMERSET label here in the US in 1959 The album title is BACH The Majesty of the Luneburger Organ. M2 NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND, JS BACH, 1714, BWV 61 (5:21) Our next piece is the most famous church cantata written in 1714 for THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT. NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND or in English “NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS” A HEATHAN is a person with no religion, i.e., a PAGAN. In this chorale, Jesus is asked to … come and save the pagans. In 1714, Bach would have been 29 years of age. It turns out that this song goes back almost two centuries before BACH's time. It's based on a LUTERAN CHORALE with words written by Martin Luther for the 1523 first Advent Sunday. For centuries, this was the first hymn for the first Sunday of ADVENT. What I will play next is an arrangement for as modern symphony orchestra (the Philadelphia Orchestra) and it is definitely JS BACH heard in those phrases. But it is a large orchestra – – Conducted by Leopold Stokowski. This is an extremely restrained, demure, and understated interpretation of a Bach piece the most restrained I have ever heard. The recording you will hear next is performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with conductor Leopold Stokowski. This recording is on a Vinyl LP titled THE SOUND OF GENIUS, produced by COLUMBIA MASTERWORKS, in 1960. It was one of many records that were shipped by mail to members of the Columbia Record Club. My parents were enthusiastic members. A new disc would arrive in the mail every month, such as this LP of classical music.

ZAHN 1174 M3 TWO-PART INVENTION in F MAJOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723 (0:40) The next three pieces are called TWO PART INVENTIONS, composed by JS Bach around 1720 The inventions were composed for use in instruction of Bach's oldest son WILHELM FRIEDEMANN BACH who was 12 years old. Today, these inventions are introduced to music students in school grades 4-7. Learning the Two-Part Invention requires ROTE learning, practicing over and over until the two hands work completely independently of one another. The inventions teach, among other things, the use of COUNTERPOINT. Bach is MOST known for writing two melodies against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. That is the feature of these inventions, in each one there are TWO PARTS, left and right hand parts. COUNTERPOINT is found mostly in Bach's FUGUES and in his INVENTIONS. Perhaps a brief demonstration is in order. Here is an excerpt from one of Bach's inventions. FIRST the right-hand part or first point – the melody SECOND the left-hand part or second point – the bass line LAST both parts played in counterpoint. In some of Bach works, the roles reverse, The left hand plays the first point – the melody And the right hand plays the second point – the bass line Could you do this by crossing hands on the keyboard – yes, but, the roles are reversed, so no cross-hand playing. I will now play WENDY CARLOS's rendition of three BACH TWO-PART INVENTIONS from her 1969 recording titled “SWITCHED ON BACH” .. I will play all three, back-to-back. Each one is short – – average length ONE MINUTE EACH!

Not just a key change like the work title would suggest ! Bach stated that he wrote his inventions “to be models of composition” in other words, to enable the student to form ways of developing musical ideas and “acquire a strong taste of composition” Bach wrote the inventions, one for of the notes A to G and one for each minor and major key. Today these inventions are over 300 years old !

He was 37. The title page to the Well-tempered Clavier song book reads : “The well-tempered Clavier, or Preludes and Fugues, through all the tones and semitones, both the [major] and [minor]. For the profit and use of the studious musical young…” Bach wrote these preludes and fugues in all keys in the chromatic scale … 12 major and 12 minor keys I have the version in D MAJOR. It's two sections – the prelude, and the fugue The Prelude is the introduction. LISTEN FOR the Stride Piano on the left hand !! It's a short 1:10. The Fugue is the second section.

This was written for the Christian Feast of the Visitation- celebrated at the end of May in Western Christianity. The song is a Lutheran hymn. … a CANTATA and it has a CHORALE or chorus piece repeated twice within this cantata. There are many arrangements and versions because this song is one of Bach's most beautiful, well-known, and popular.

This hymn was transcribed from a Lutheran hymn written in 1599 by written by Phillippe Nicolai. This Cantata is truly a work from the middle ages. In 1731, Bach took this hymn and created a 7-movement cantata, we will hear the first movement or PRELUDE”. This cantata is sung in church on the Trinity Sunday. Today this piece is very popular piece in general…it is POPULAR CLASSICAL MUSIC. J.S. Bach wrote 46 of these cantatas for church, in all. ODD FACT about this song… it was performed only once by Bach, in Leipzig that year.

This title comes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, written almost 300 years ago. So what is the meaning of the song title Air on a G-String? Well, Bach composed this as an orchestral suite in 1730. 141 years later, August Wilhelm arranged the second movement for SOLO VIOLIN and he did something unique. He transposed the song down from D so that the entire piece could be played on one string of the violin, the G-String, which is the lowest register on that instrument. Here is an example of what this sounds like on the Violin G-String, thjs example with piano accompaniment—pardon the scratchy sound, is from an old 78 RPM disc in 1935. Play example – Jacques Dumont (Violin) Bach Air On The G String with Andre Collard (piano) We went from Bach's orchestral piece, to Wilhelm's transcription for solo violin, to Wendy Carlos modern interpretation with her MOOG Synthesizer.

Folge 296: Die Messe A-Dur nehmen Maul & Schrammek zum Anlass, etwas genauer in die Parodiewerkstatt von Bach zu blicken. Sämtliche Vorlagen sind sehr weitsichtig gewählt und wurden zum Teil kräftig umgearbeitet.
Johann Sebastian Bach hatte ein feines Gespür für die technischen Möglichkeiten und das klangliche Potential der Traversflöte - ein Instrument, das sich mehr und mehr etablierte und das Bach in seiner Leipziger Zeit immer häufiger anstelle der Blockflöte einsetzte. Die h-Moll-Flötensonate BWV 1030 komponierte Bach vermutlich um 1736–1737. Sie ist die längste und komplexeste von Bachs Flötensonaten und gilt als Höhepunkt seiner Auseinandersetzung mit dem Instrument. Anders als die meisten seiner anderen Flötensonaten ist BWV 1030 keine Triosonate mit Generalbass, sondern eine Sonate für zwei gleichberechtigte Partner: Flöte und Cembalo treten in einen engen Dialog, wechseln sich in Themenführung und virtuosen Passagen ab und schaffen so eine dichte musikalische Struktur. In der Diskothek werden sechs unterschiedliche Aufnahmen der Flötensonate BWV 1030 von J.S. Bach verglichen. Gäste von Eva Oertle sind der Flötist Marco Brolli und die Cembalistin Urte Lucht.
Ecrites pour le clavecin mais jouées également au piano, les variations Goldberg de Bach ont fait l'objet de diverses transcriptions, dont une fameuse pour trio à cordes. Celle que nous proposent Thibaut Garcia et Antoine Morinière, pour deux guitares, est inédite et apporte ainsi un autre éclairage à ce vaste cycle. Mais un éclairage qui nous paraît si évident tant ces deux musiciens ont su y apporter une fraicheur et une profondeur absolument saisissantes.

Pianist Simone Dinnerstein has many loves – her family, her hometown, her musical collaborators, and Johann Sebastian Bach's music, to name just a few. The proud Brooklyn resident founded her musical ensemble and called it BAROKLYN. They named their 2025 debut album Complicité, a term she first heard from her son, who studied the teachings of the French theatre practitioner, Jacques Lecoq. Suzanne spoke with Simone Dinnerstein about Complicité, how the concept relates to the album and her group, and how she feels about being a conductor now.
Pomegranate Health has been streaming since June 2015, so we're going to share a few more classic eps from the last ten years. First up, presenter Mic Cavazzini digs deep to find the origins of the pomegranate, featured not just on this podcast but on the crest of the RACP. The journey starts 500 years ago at an unlikely place, the marriage of Henry VIII and the first of his six wives. You'll find much of the pageantry reproduced at the web page. We then hear from the wonderful staff at Marrabinya, a support service in western NSW that helps connect Aboriginal patients to specialist consultations. As heard in episode 53, and a handful of others, healthy equity for First Nations people is a value embedded in the mission of the RACP. At Pomegranate Health we also try to support physician wellbeing and career development. One podcast towards that end was Episode 55: Starting out in Private Practice. We hear a pep talk from veteran rheumatologist Louis McGuigan about when and how to back yourself in such a business venture. Another episode with a practical theme was number 56 titled “Billing in Byzantium” where we heard how it is that a few billion dollars are inappropriately leaked from Medicare every year. Finally, in a sample from Episode 69. we hear about some of the structural bias in the health system that results in a gendered understanding of drug effects. All of these episodes and more, are now available on YouTube, as well as all the usual podcast browsing apps. Sampled in this retrospective episode: Desley Mason, Possum Swinton and Kym Lees from Ep53: Marrabinya Dr Louis McGuigan from Ep55: Starting out in private practice Margaret Faux PhD from Ep56: Billing in ByzantiumProfessor Zoe Wainer from Ep69: Gendered Medicine 2- Funding and Research Production CreditsProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

«Dies Werk machte zu seinerzeit in der musikalischen Welt grosses Aufsehen: Man hatte noch nie so vortreffliche Klavierkompositionen gesehen und gehört. Wer einige Stücke daraus recht gut vortragen lernte, konnte sein Glück in der Welt damit machen.» Das schrieb 1802 der erste Bach-Biograph, Nikolaus Forke, über Bachs ersten Teil der «Clavierübung», also die sechs Partiten Opus 1. Und seither haben unzählige Pianistinnen und Pianisten ihr Glück damit gemacht: Es gibt so viele Einspielungen, dass es schwierig ist, eine Auswahl zu treffen, gerade auch, weil die Wahl des Tasteninstrumentes nicht eindeutig ist. Soll man die Partiten historisch korrekt auf einem Cembalo oder gar Clavichord spielen? Oder auf einem sogenannten Tangentenflügel, einem Modell, das erst nach Bach entstand, so wie der Pianist Martin Helmchen es macht? Oder klingts doch schöner auf dem modernen Flügel? In der Diskothek über die erste der sechs Partiten diskutiert Annelis Berger mit dem Pianisten Francesco Tristano und der Organistin und Cembalistin Els Biesemans darüber. Und vergleichen fünf Aufnahmen miteinander.

Vlad makes an early-morning weekday appearance to tell Marty about celebrating JS Bach's birthday with Early Music Day, Week and Month!
In today's podcast, I focus on examples of loss of liberty. The first is JS Bach being imprisoned for having the effrontery of asking his employer to let him go so he could seek a more lucrative employment elsewhere. It's shocking that one of the world's greatest musicians was considered to be property. Of course NO ONE should be considered to be property! A friend of his, a mere horn player, was hung for a similar infraction.120 years later, Chopin spent a honeymoon on the island of Majorca with his new wife, George Sand. Both of them were combining a honeymoon with holding good on promises to publishers—she on a book in progress and he on a collection of 24 preludes. They spent several months living in a scary monastery high in the mountains partly because Chopin was suffering from TB, which the locals interpreted as an example of how sin leads to disease, the result being a loss of liberty for Chopin and Sand.The third example of loss of liberty deals with how cacao symbolized power in the four Central American societies—of the Olmecs, the Toltecs, the Mayans and the Aztecs. Later, when Cortez brought cacao back to Spain, it came to symbolize power there as well with a loss of liberty for the Jewish doctors living in Bayonne, France, where they established cacao as an important local industry. During the Industrial Revolution, cacao became an important foodstuff for factory workers and in order to provide it, the colonial powers forced West Africans to provide them with inexpensive beans. The result was the use of child labor, five forms of which are described.I start the podcast with Bach's Prelude number 8 in E-Flat Minor and I finish with Chopin's Prelude #14 in the same key. Bach's prelude was written in a prison cell. Chopin's was written in a monastery cell. Both are examples of a loss of liberty.As always, we are looking to help African cocoa farmers become African chocolate makers. Join the revolution by donating to the cause!1.

South African guitar virtuoso Derek Gripper plays music originally meant for the 21 stringed lute-harp, the kora, on his 6-string Segovia-styled guitar and does it so well that the world's leading guitarists and kora players keep wondering how one even does that. His original music is informed by kora masters Toumani Diabaté, Salif Keita, Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Part, Brazilian guitarist Egberto Gismonti and German Baroque innovator, J.S. Bach. Watch out, because he's about to collaborate with the Iraqi-American oud player and composer Rahim Alhaj. (Ed. note: just wait until the 11 or 13-strings of the oud and those maqams make it to the 6-string guitar in Gripper's hands!) For now, Gripper plays another unbelievable arrangement of a Malian kora song, as well as an original song informed by the cascading style of kora music, plus some of the second cello suite by J.S. Bach, in-studio. - Caryn HavlikSupplemental Reading: The Beauty of Everyday Things, In Search of Lost TimeSet list: 1. Alla L'a Ke 2. Moss on the Mountain 3. J.S.

Jesu Joy.mp3: – Click To Play I first learned this tune from Pete Seeger’s “Goofing Off Suite” in the mid 1950s. Years later when it was time to make up a Rickenbacker introduction for Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” I used a few notes from this J.S.

Behind the sublime precision and expressive power of Bach's music lies a mischievous spirit. From puzzle canons (where the performer must solve a riddle to reach the score), melodies that run upside-down and backwards against themselves, hidden symbols, endless loops, to the embedding of numbers and names into the music, this lecture explores Bach's ingenious trickery. Unravelling this thread, enhances an appreciation – and sense of humanity and playfulness – to his transcendent music.This lecture was recorded by Milton Mermikides on 23rd October 2024 at LSO St Lukes, London.Milton Mermikides is Gresham Professor of Music.He is Associate Professor in Music at the University of Surrey, Professor of Guitar at the Royal College of Music and Deputy Director of the International Guitar Research Centre.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/bachs-inventionGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

American classical pianist and educator Christopher O'Riley has spent his career gleefully ignoring musical boundaries and playing whatever turned him on. In addition to playing Beethoven, Busoni, Ravel, Scriabin, and Liszt, he's also arranged music by Nick Drake, Nirvana, Elliot Smith, and Radiohead; he leads masterclasses covering nearly every aspect of piano playing and repertoire from 1600 to 2020. Christopher O'Riley's latest album is of J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, done in a distinctly personal, even idiosyncratic style. He presents his years-long study of the Preludes & Fugues by Bach and a recent arrangement of a classic popular song, in-studio. Set list: 1. Bach: Prelude & Fugue #1 in C major, BWV 846 2. Bach: Prelude & Fugue #4 in C# minor, BWV 849 3."Over the Rainbow"
Johann Sebastian Bach — whom the Lutheran church commemorates on July 28 — was not a Lutheran lady ... but his two wives sure were! In this Story Time episode, Sarah introduces us to the two wives of J.S. Bach: Maria Barbara Bach (1684–1720) and Anna Magdalena Bach (1701–1760). Between them, these faithful, capable Lutheran women bore Bach 20 children (ten of whom lived to adulthood; four of whom grew up to be composers like their father) and supported the composer throughout the long and fruitful years of his illustrious musical career.

He is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School and served as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Obama administration. He has authored numerous best sellers, such as Nudge and The World According to Star Wars. In his new book, he explores the roles played by skill, luck, and social processes in the achievement of fame and success—based on recent research on informational cascades, reputation cascades, network effects, and group polarization.Together with Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, Sunstein discusses how a better understanding of these mechanisms can help businesses make better decisions in marketing, talent management, and innovation - and why the greatest composer of all time may not be J S Bach, but rather Taylor Swift.Key topics discussed: 03:18 | How to prove whether or not fame is driven by merit06:08 | The importance of quality and skill to fame09:33 | Enduring vs. transient fame11:36 | The greatest composers of all time: Bach vs. Taylor Swift14:44 | Social factors driving fame19:54 | The role of group polarization and network effects28:48 | Implications for businesses: Marketing, talent, innovation33:19 | The art of manipulating information cascadesAdditional inspirations from Cass Sunstein:Thinkers & Ideas: Look Again with Cass SunsteinLook Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There; with Tali Sharot (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2024)Nudge; with Richard Thaler (Penguin Books,...

Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Barockzeit und sprechen über niemand Geringeren als Johann Sebastian Bach. Allerdings werden wir uns weniger mit seinem musikalischen Output, sondern mehr mit seinen Lebensumständen beschäftigen. Wie und wo lebte er, wer bezahlte ihm seine Rechnungen und welchen Einfluss hatte das auf sein Werk? //Erwähnte Folgen GAG364: Mord und Madrigale – Carlo Gesualdo https://gadg.fm/364 //Literatur - "Johann Sebastian Bach" von Martin Geck " - "Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician" von Christoph Wolff - "BACH: Music in the CASTLE of HEAVEN" von John Eliot Gardiner - Kalendarium des Bach-Archivs Leipzig https://jsbach.de/kalendarium Das gegen Ende erwähnte "Erbarme dich, mein Gott" aus der Matthäuspassion BWV244 gibt's in einer schönen Version mit dem Countertenor Tim Mead auf YouTube anzuhören: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zry9dpM1_n4 Das Folgenbild zeigt einen Ausschnitt des wahrscheinlich einzig echten Porträts Bachs, von Elias Gottlob Haussmann, aus dem Jahr 1746.
