Wow Another part for this piece, magnificent.

I'm a hardcore agnostic/atheist who listens to the worst drivel in pop music often--Lady Gaga, Beyonce, etc. But when I feel like real emotion, I only come to Bach. He's the only composer who touches something deep inside me. I'm not quite sure what it is but he does it. The confusion about being atheist/agnostic comes from Bach too. How can you deny organized religion any validity when it drove this exalted genius to such heights of beauty? God, if he does exist, is here somewhere.

Your comment is from 8 years ago, but it, like Bach's music, is timeless. His music has that effect on many, many people. I once attended an organ concert featuring pieces by many composers. It ended with Bach, and it was as though the fog and smoke had lifted and gone away when his music was played; clarity and peace arrived. It was an almost physical sensation and most welcome. I was present at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig for this performance in 2000 and watched it on the local tv the night after. What struck me most, to the point of laughter, was that several of the boys, during the Osana, could not resist the rhythm and seemed to be nearly dancing to the music that they sang. There is a kind of joy in Bach that is irresistible.
