J.S. Bach: Chorales Vol. 1

Here perhaps is the very heart of Bach; a very palpable demonstration of his heritage and impact. Bach revered his forebears, while at the same time wishing to renew their legacy – both that of his own, already notable Bach family and of their musical contemporaries – and leave a mark on posterity. His endless inventiveness in taking the old hymn tunes devised in the generations before him, and clothing them in rich and strange harmonies, each one tailored to the specific text and mood of its content, creates a box of small wonders.

From the pastor of St. John's Church: There's nothing like Bach chorales to re-set my brain and soothe my soul. Truly divine!

[AtomicVisionary]

The time of Bach was truly a cultural golden age that we are unlikely to ever see again.

[kevinb]

My life wouldn't be the same without JS Bach. I thank god for giving us the most gifted composer to ever exist. Thanks to Brilliant Classics, as I can listen to these Heavenly Chorals

[rickythend]

so beautiful... so ethereal... so soothing... so edifying... God be praised forevermore.

[petermerelis]

the beginning and the end. this is music in its purest and most potent form.

[bobbysoverall]

57:50…the Jesu Meine Freude melody…this harmonization is 🔥!! I love Bach’s music!!

[eliaspinheiro]

Eu sou brasileiro, um país de vários ritmos musicais. Gostaria de dizer que nem só de samba vive o brasileiro. Gostamos da boa música, tivemos grandes nomes como por exemplo; Heitor Villa-Lobos, Carlos Gomes, Ernesto Nazareth. O saudoso Paulinho Nogueira dedicou uma música para Bach, "Bachianinha nº1", concerto para violão. Muitíssimo agradecido por esta belíssima seleção musical.

[bach]

너무나 아름답습니다.
바흐의 음악으로 하루를 마감할수
있음에 무한한 감사를 전하며.
대한민국에서 잘 듣고 있습니다.

[joshuahunter]

I’ve always loved how Bach choirs sound so immaculate and punctual such perfect Timing with being on key and in sync

[samjosephek]

I'm a church organist in Tamilnadu, India. We used to sing these beautiful hymns in our church. God bless Brilliant Classics!

[cantusfirmusbecker]

Hervorragend! Top Qualität in jeder Hinsicht. Vielen Dank!

[marcabitbol]

Whether We believe in God or not, Whether we Believe in the Trinity or not, We cannot be insensitive to the genius of J.S. Bach and We cannot deny that his music has its source in his deep Christian faith.

[excelsior]

One of J.S. Bach's duties as Kapelmeister & organist at his Church was to compose a new Cantata every week for the Sunday service. Since there usually wasn't enough time for a rehearsal the musicians & singers had to Sight Read the music cold.

Today it would take a talented composer a couple of months (at the very least) to compose one Cantata. For Bach - No problem! It was a different world.

[vlw]

Who gives Bach a thumbs down, I wonder? I think it's superb.

[jennifergarduno]

Esta música me provoca tantas sensaciones que no puedo explicar.
Bach ❤

[FlexingClassicalMusic]

Listening to classical music is like wandering through a garden of emotions, where each piece is a unique bloom, perfuming the air with the fragrance of artistic brilliance. 🌺🎵

[writeract]

Thank you, thank you, thank you again - my God what an incredible & comprehensive treasury - thank you so much - "of the divine", the Master Bach.

[jonathanreeves]

After a deep period of writers block for composing, I've went back to the beginning. It feels good to be back! These Chorales, particularly the first one (in regards to the video: Schwing' dich auf deniem Gott) is interesting. I've now taken to starting my morning off by analyzing one of Bach's chorales. It gets the mind going and is a perfect start to the day! Then, once I run out of chorales, I'll go to his inventions, then fugues, and so on. There is so much goodness here that I never truly appreciated until diving into the theory of it all. The theory is complicated, but the execution is simple.

[writeract]

I will always play this to soothe & to be in the Spirit.
