- In this video journey we are accompanied by Bach authorities including classical guitarist Christopher Parkening. They guide us through the development, personal crises, challenges, remarkable work output, and the compelling inner motivation of Bach and show why it was so important to the composer that his gifts be used for the glory of God alone.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) lived his whole life in Germany and in music. This video is his story, unfolded from the very places where his key life events took place. It is Bach for beginners, in the sense that young people who may never yet heard of him will find this journey through his life a fascinating adventure. At the same time, those who have long loved his music will be enthralled with the captivating details of his life and development. Born into a musical family, Bach's life was almost predetermined to be in the field of music. But from a child he internalized the art and passionately pursued the development of his skills. It would result in a legacy that has enriched the world and continues to inspire, engage, and touch souls across diverse cultural boundaries now close to three hundred years later. In this video journey we are accompanied by Bach authorities including classical guitarist Christopher Parkening. They guide us through the development, personal crises, challenges, remarkable work output, and the compelling inner motivation of Bach and show why it was so important to the composer that his gifts be used for the glory of God alone. He got his wish. Bach died in obscurity, his grave not even marked. But God was glorified as Bach's music transcends the changing styles and passing centuries and infuses the world with a priceless treasure that will continue as long as music is embraced to transport us from the mundane.

Praise the Lord for Bach’s great music! I’m eternally grateful for Bach.
Bach is no doubt the greatest composer that every lived . His music is unsurpassed and will live forever !
His music is the most emotional, spiritual, complex (in a good way) and beautiful music ever written.
I'm gonna tattoo his name onto my arm in a month. He is the reason for why I am now able to do the most fulfilling thing there is in life now, which is playing music.
Bach speaks to us through his music. No composer has nor will ever influence music more than Bach has. Screw AI, give me Bach anytime. Bach reflects the best of humanity. Like artificial cheese, AI offers us a mere delusion. Bach offers us true genius given to us by the grace of our creator. Kudos to the musicians that spend a lifetime learning to bring the joy of Bach’s music to all of us.
I love Bach! he makes such happy and cheerful music, Praise the Lord for making such a great musician!!!
When Mozart looks up to you, you know you're the boss.
Not sure where you picked that up from, but generally when Mozart and his contemporaries spoke of their debt to "Bach" they were referring to J.S. Bach's son Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach, a very successful, and popular composer of the next generation, and important transitional figure. (His 300th birthday, back in 2014 was a rather huge deal in Germany.) That is not to take anything away from the father, but the revival of interest in him, and his influence, came a bit later (thanks esp. to Mendelssohn).
God bless this gift to humanity
My music teacher once told me that Bach's(my favorite classical composer) ideas of his compositions were three dimensional! So heavenly and very uplifting!
Bach was the greatest musical genius of all Time! A giant!
One of the most amazing things travelling Germany is coming upon relatively small churches in smaller cities, wandering in and either "Luther was here", or "Bach was here". Seems like those dudes got around!
There is no one best composer between the Great of this world because their gift is simply the expression of God himself.
It is also a shame that they were not better recognized and thanked for their work during their existence!
Bach is defently the best composer who ever lived ... his music has no match at all with others composers .... his music has a very high performance , feelings , his organ music , fuges , preludes , fantasias , chorals , tocattas , harpschords , lute , its just unmatch .....
Beethoven can match Bach I think, because he did incredible things like the sonatas, the late quartets, the Missa Solemnis, the Diabelli variations, his symphonies...
@@user-ut3zn1en9o Different composers have a different sounds and styles and moods. But overall, I prefer Bach over Beethoven; Beethoven was a revolutionary but Bach was a craftsman who crafted so much treasure.
Beethoven is my number one favorite but as far as the composer who has had the most historical impact generations upon generations, I would have to have that title over to Bach
@@user-ut3zn1en9o i rememeber that point same as you before when i was child i always says beethoven but after i listen deep and deep to bach i find it unmatch try to listen carfuly with bach and what he is doing exactly and also try to understand the feelings of the sounds and what it means thats would make a big deferents thnx
BACH IS THE MOST REVERED MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME ..
HE WAS AN INCREDIBLE COMPOSER PLAYER AND GOD-FEARING INDIVIDUAL..
BUCK WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD!!!
♥️🙏☦️🎶🎹
Worship to the Lord God. Thank you so much.
Hallelujah
Bach was a busy man, teaching both public and private students and had to compose cantatas every week for 3 churches every week for Sunday services and composing music for town events.
*Encouraging his family*
• 29:43 supported his wife's career
• 30:56 nurtured his children's talent
Thank you,! I will add this, in 1685 there were unpaved roads, sewage problems, cramped/shared living quarters. Germs were not discovered. Try sharing a house with other musicians and a grain store. Use your imagination here! Mortality rates were high. Your siblings were dying off! Making it to 9 or 10 was incredible. Your mother and father dies off! Average grades at best at the Latin school. Too many times not attended at all. Interesting!
Thank God for Bach it's the only music that truly calms me down. All hail big daddy bach!!!
☠☠☠
A lot of such documentaries seem more interested in showcasing musicians playing music rather than the actual biography of the composer!
Thank you!
Although Bach loved Johann Reincken's music, it is almost certain Bach's true (and secret) teacher was Georg Böhm at the rival school St John's; he even told his sons and one of them purposefully made a "mistake" in naming Böhm as Bach's teacher while writing to Bach's first biographer Forkel.
Bach turned hundreds of thousands of mockers into worshippers. There's a reason why they call him the 5th evangelist. ❤
18:33 this is very clean writing
Vivat for the Master J.S.Bach for the Glory of God and the whole Humanity !
Super composers❤
As God set Reformation on its way to liberate soul and spirit, He followed this movement up with a miracle: blessing humanity in the very same year with two geniuses, Georg F Handel and J S Bach. For every grateful.
Great. Thank you so much.
Excellent
Bach 🎉
20:01 Title change: concert master
21:51 Bach on an accordion - subway or street?
22:16 Bach in Dresden - no contest?
OMG Andrew Schultz is in that choir!
"All around the world he is recognized as one of the greatest composers." I'm a super fan of Bach but that's kind of a stretch. He's the greatest in the western world. Ask people in India, Africa, China, etc and they don't even know who Bach is.
43:11 Partita in EM for violin transcribed for lute? (& orchestra)
14:25 This is St. John Passion final Chorus but with different text - where else is this same chorus used?
anyone know whats the book in the background with Bach on it? (3:40)
The very famous organ piece at 12:45? I would like to know it's name if anyone can help. . .
Toccata and Fugue in D minor
Does anyone know what the theme at 29:54 is?
Music is my theology. I regularly attended Lutheran church and sang in the choir (soprano) until I gave up on all forms of organized religion when I was 13. All these rules and regulations for talking to God didn't appeal to me. Dogma. I'm 72 now and my spirituality is higher than it's ever been. I feel like I am communicating with all kinds of like-minded spirits. If you invite positivity into your life you can tap into a universal spirit of good that's there to support you. I have a gigantic rock and roll playlist on YT and right smack dab in the middle of it is "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor." It fits right in with Moog and organ pieces by groups like "Yes," and "Procol Harem." That piece in particular has always seemed rather tragic to me but I can hear the redemption of Bach in it, too.
I wonder what rules and regulations you were taught on how to talk with God. I also grew up in a Lutheran background and the rule I learnt from scripture is to talk to god as my father. Jesus teaches us to call him Abba, dear father. Secondly I learnt to talk to my father in absolute honesty. No use to pretend or make believe anyway, because he knows me better than I do myself. Alltogether nothing complicated.
Let me ask you about the high level of spirituality you claim to have achieved, and music being your theology. Music is wonderful, such as is spirituality. But a spirituality of your own device is of no avail, because it won't stand the test, when one day soon we will stand before our creator. The questions will be: Do we know Jesus and does he know us? Do we wear the white robe he purchased for us? Is our name written in the book of life? Have we been washed by his blood that he shed for us? If there had been any other way to our redemption, Jesus sirely would not have died on the cross. The center of the christian faith is, that this is the only way, and not our personal understanding of spirituality
@Mi tasol I believe the Old TEstament. The CAtholic Chirch wrote the New, coopting early Christianity.
@@johnallen6945 the old and the new make sense together, starting with Genesis, where the coming of the Messiah is anounced in chapter 3. The red thread is gods story with man. His plan of how to deal with guilt and atonement. It is laid out and prophesied multiple times in the old testament and carried out in the new. It ends with the Apocalypse, where in chapter 5 the lamb is declared worthy and is enthroned as king.
Great upload! can someone tell me the name of 29:57 composition?
It's another glorious piece From Senior Bach... BWV 465. From Cantata BWV 140...
Enjoy them Carl.
@@emilalbazi8691 OMG thank you so much! I've been looking it for years in the wrong place. Thanks for answering and have a nice weekend!
Part of "Wachet Auf" Cantata...
@@emilalbazi8691 do you happen to know what the piece at 4:41 is? It's beautiful
@@michael60940 Crucifixus, from the great b minor mass
Does anyone know what the piece is at 4:41 is?
I dont.
Crucifixus from the Mass in B.
what is he saying at 16:24 ?
‘Jack of all trades ‘ means it’s a person can do all sorts of things. It’s a complement. As opposed to a person who is not a ‘Jack of all trades’ - that’s a person who doesn’t display a wide range of skills, and is perhaps only average, like most of us.
"Town musicians tend to be jacks-of-all-trades"
Several errors in this video.
1. The city in northern Germany is spelled "Luneburg" (with umlaut on the first "u") not "Luneberg"
2. Ambrosius remarried in November, 1694 and died in February, 1695, one month before Sebastian's tenth birthday.
The cantata titles (60 and 131) are also in wrong order
And the definition given for counterpoint seems closer to the definition of a fugue rather than counterpoint writ large
*Music and Religion*
17:55 "Martin Luther ... had been a musician ... declaring music to be second only to the Gospel itself. Bach was to be [his] greatest musical disciple."
43:10 end
St.Thomas church is…where?
Leipzig
@@soozb15 Ah ! Thanks
So he was basically the first Christian music artist.
28:55 Anna Magdalena
you make people believe that you will tell them how to stop suffering just to tell them at the very end that they need to pay for this. this is so tricky and totally unfair. you should have gegun by saying that they will have to payu for this. it is a lot more honest!!!
Aw the time when secular and religious were not a separation. Too bad someone that that was a good idea!
When secular and religious are not separated, then you have the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as a fine example. This concept was added to the US Constitution by the founding fathers.
