      With all due respect, I think what we call creation in music, or the arts in general, is an unconscious process. The artist must be considered a channeler, or a transmitter of something beyond himself, rather than a creator.

      Out of the 27 pieces of music on the Voyager Record, Bach made 3. One of them is the very first. If Voyager is ever found by aliens, and if they assemble the player correctly and play the songs in order, the very first human music they will hear is Bach. I'm not sure there is something like a single greatest musician of all time, but I think there is no greater honor than your work (possibly) being the opening to an intergalactic cultural exchange.

      @@diegofloor Of course you can hear the archlute and organ. You just can't always distinguish their sound, any more than you can distinguish the sound of each of the two first violins. The organ blends with the strings. That's what it's there for. You can make out the archlute separately whenever David Tayler wants you to, as at 1:23 and 1:39.

    3:15 the absolute most perfectly in-tune chord in any orchestral vid I have ever watched or even heard. The maj 3rd is perfectly natural and that bass is just dead on. That one chord was breathtaking for its perfection and yes, nothing's perfect but that was 99.999999% perfect. Whether stars aligned or they are masters at intonation, I don't know but I must replay that chord a few dozen times and just bask in it for a while.

      +TruthSurge I totally agree. I noticed it before I saw your comment. Played 3:15 10 times and I am still shaking. The natural superb quality of the reverb plays a big role in making this chord so perfect. Funny after centuries of romantic then post romantic music all the way to Schoenberg's dissonant music, then of course jazz and all its flavors, making chords more and more complex, it is amazing how today a simple perfectly played 1-3-5 major chord can still move us so deeply. Why is that? Is God a major chord?

    Without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music to ever come from a human mind. It has stood the test of time and I dare say it will be listened to well into the future. Hundreds of years from now, they will still be playing this masterpiece. Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest composers of all time. It makes one wonder how he conceived this incredible piece of music.....hundreds of years ago, maybe sitting at his desk one day thinking and writing the chords and melody for this. Absolutely incredible piece of music.

      Yeah, that's probably true -- but then, unlike general audiences musicians have the opportunity to hear how their music sounds without the bass lines, and can therefore properly appreciate what is lost. The bass is often more subtle and subdued in its effects than the treble, but it is very, very important!

    I've read this this composition is relaxing, and I think this version is more-so than others I've heard.
    I've always thought it was full of bittersweet longing, like the sense of unrequited love
    or the death of someone dearly loved but with hope of an afterlife together.

    Can you imagine anyone could just think up this piece? Sometimes I think God himself would say "Damn, even I never would have thought of that." How vibrations going through the air into our ears can invoke the depths of the human soul is far too incredible for me to comprehend.

      It's baroque and classical: baroque music is part of classical music, and the term classical music is also used for music from the classical period.

      This is related to the broad definition or narrow definition of classical music. Broadly speaking, baroque, classical and even romantic period music can be regarded as classical music. Narrowly or technically speaking, classical music refers to the music composed in classical period, typically by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

    I remembered playing this piece when I was in the 8th Grade w/ The Albuquerque Youth Orchestra [ c.1981]. I had always thought it was a simple piece and easy to play but was still very fond of it at age 14. Now that I am 47 yrs. old, I am still haunted by this piece. It is breathtakingly beautiful beyond words or emotions. Along with the Ciaccona in d minor for unaccompanied violin, these are timeless masterpieces that will survive well into the XXIIème & beyond. Beautiful & sensitive interpretation on Period Intruments as well. Thank you for sharing.
