Komm Süsser Tod (Come Sweet Death) - J S Bach

[@donaldedward4951]

Listening to this put thoughts in my head that must have been in Bach's head as he sat down and played it. I wonder what it would sound like if sung by a male voice choir. Pretty neat, I guess. Bach had a good life, lots of kids and he composed hours and hours of music. He was good and ready to meet his maker when his time came. I hope I am that lucky when my time comes. I love this music; over ten minutes of glorious sound.

[@joshuaarceo9938]

@@gregorybatara8105 that will be a good idea. Maybe Shinji start to feel guilty and begin monologuing as this music start playing Or play it as each one of humanity turn into primordial soup(?) which include all of the character we all know turn into that.

[@spaceforcememes8104]

@@parmiggianoreggie-ano1832 Gonna disagree with you there partner. The instrumentality project turned individuals into a collective while maintaining their individuality. It was the same as the union with the Body of Christ we will experience in Heaven. The End of Evangelion ending was a worship of the individual and rejection of the Christian unity found in the original ending But also, lol funny Bach pun

Me recuerda al "muero porque no muero" de Santa Teresa. Es lo que los alemanes llamarían "Gottgierigkeit". Traspasa la fe y demuestra que aquí Bach tocó el cielo.

[@hellomate639]

This is baroque music, it's supposed to have rhythm, even if slow. It's too slow for that here. This piece isn't "everything is horrible and miserable and nothing is okay." Why isn't it that? Because the piece talks about how when you're gone you're going to be in heaven. It's both supposed to be sad and comforting that when you die, it's not all over. I mean, I don't believe that personally, but I can feel it from the piece. That's why it's not all minor, and that's also what keeps it interesting. He goes between the pain of life and the lack of pain in heaven. It's in the lyrics. Yes, this is a vocal piece.

[@beuming1]

+Opus 32 it's not all over, but a new start in another dimension...

[@christopherotto5433]

well he *did* say it was an homage to Virgil Fox, who was kinda the exact opposite of a period performance guy. His versions of baroque music - or any music he played - involved finding the biggest, loudest, most 'symphonic' pipe organs around, wringing every bit of emotion he possibly could outta the material, marketed to audiences who were probably waiting patiently for heavy metal to eventually be invented, all while wearing capes that would have made Liberace scold him for being *too* flamboyant. Interesting guy, Fox was.

Probably just a song title reference more than anything, for symbolism

[@mikek17]

Evangelion has no symbolism, it's all meaningless modernistic garbage. "I chose that name[Neon Genesis Evangelion] because it sounds complicated." - The creator of Evangelion

[@angelusinnocentius622]

@@mikek17 If you stopped to think you would see that evangelion has anything but symbolism...

[@parmiggianoreggie-ano1832]

mikek17 That’s not true at all: “The fate of destruction is the Joy of rebirth”. This quote, out of context, may stand for “modernistic garbage” or, maybe, point to ideas such as the “felix culpa”. And I feel like the latter is more accurate: every character is shown with his flaws, as a fallen human being, but despite all of that a “voice of sheer silence” still gently touches every ear. That show literally are the confessions of a confused conscience… What’s better for a Christian than that, one might say! The message of Evangelion is paradoxically pretty Christian for a japanese show. Anno is famous for his lack of self esteem, he probably said that because of it… And even if he did so, I’d take it as an happy coincidence :P Hey fellow Orthodox/Catholic! :P Remember that Saint Augustine saw the truth in what Plotinus thought and worked with it. “He who is not against you, is for you” I mean, there are much worse problems than Evangelion out there… We do not need the kind of hypersensitivity that turns every stranger’s approach into an aggression!

Hooking a Cavaille-Coll (sampled) to a Leslie is just plain weird and weird sounding- and FAKE. But this is a magnificent work and the organist has the rightful prerogative to paly it any way he or she wants. I appreciate the performance, but don't especially like it.

[@MichaelCWBell]

Come on Virgil this music actually has phrases - this is far too static a tempo for the song to possess a sense of physical movement and thus we lack an entire musical dimension.

[@l000kin]

This is too slow, that it totally ruins the rhythm of this wonderful piece! It should be played slow, but it has not only beautiful harmony and this is too slow and also out of tempo. Virgil Fox had not bad ideas, but he made it out of bound of mind. Also the Tutti-version is after a while too aggressive and disturbing, that I cant concentrate on the music.
