Bach Music resonated with me in my college years. His music is often generally described as mathematical and restrained as most music of the Baroque era was, but nothing else in music has touched me as profoundly as Bach’s secular music.
I own 32 renditions of his collection of Sonatas and Partitas for Solo violin, nearly half as many of his Keyboard and violins concertos, Brandenburg concertos, and orchestral suites.
If I were to be sent off into space indefinitely and were allowed only one token of human heritage to take with me to keep my company and to share with whatever intelligence I would find out there, it would be some of his music.
Other than some Persian Classical music to which I am also extremely partial, Bach music has brought me peace, melancholy, and joy.
The solo piano selections here make up for nearly an hour of meditation and a sense of melancholy that is at the same time soothing. I have provided links for where the music can be acquired.
We need the work of these women and men and classical music to be more present in our lives because they represent some of the best of our nature and our civilization.
I have added some of the photographs I have taken over the years in my travels as a photo theme for this music, and I hope it adds to beauty in this music.
