What is the Secret to the Chorale? Part 2 | Illustrated Theory of Music #6

Lovely. Particularly like the ad-hoc avian accompaniment to Ein Veste Burg, which gives the example a lovely tinge of a recital in a cold Northern stone church on an autumn evening as the rooks fuss outside... can't wait to be back.

Chorale Fantasias, I thought, were "written" only sparsely, usually in figured-bass, and involved the critical skill every musician then learned from the beginning: improvisation. I hope going forward that culture of inspiration and creativity will be restored like the wonderful instruments you use, and bring our attention to more than a few "geniuses".

Curious, as a Southern European, this Chorale culture is completely foreign to me. Lovely explanation, though.
