- Abstract:
- Trying to rank Bach's great moments is like trying to rank miracles in order of impossibility. Yet I've caught myself feeling that a moment in the B Minor Mass may be the greatest of all. This short essay, adapted from a chapter in my forthcoming ebook Why Bach?: An Audio-Visual Appreciation, says why. If features highlighted scores that play as a cursor follows along: a window into music for the music appreciation student and the lay music lover.
