Song of the day?

Claviorganum - you learn something new every day.

Pages 5-6 here have some description including a stoplist (kind of). This qualifies as 'cool as hell' in my book.

A really great 'Amen', particularly the final cadential sequence starting at 2:45, from one of six versions of the full work I have in my collection. (V 4-2 chords are grossly underused today.)

I couldn't tell what the singer was singing, but I see the vision

Another song to my collection. Reminds me somehow a bit of Bach's "Dona nobis pacem", only a lot more energetic.

This is actually like a medley of five and a half tracks associated with the most difficult boss in the game. I didn't want to post five separately.

Man, going back on this thread and seeing how the majority of the vids are no longer available is sad.

Really puts into perspective how downhill YT has gone.

The "I'm Slowly Forgeting Your Face" song.

Just picked up this album yesterday. Sadly, Frank didn't actually make a video for this song.

Back to Bach.

I quite like how "Aus der Tiefe rufe ich" goes seamless to "So du willst" (so much so that I considered them one movement for a long time before finally checking it out and realising my mistake ). My absolute favourite though is "Meine Seele wartet auf den Herrn". I can't describe why, it just captivated me from the start.

This is such a young Bach - there are flashes of his characteristic style in places (particularly the last movement), but he's not yet 'settled in' to the voice he would use for much of his output. But he still manages to convey the emotional impact he's going for.

For the most typical of his cantatas, I listened to a handful of samples on YT and came up with Harnoncourt's recording of this one. (Normally I'll take Richter's account of these works where available, and his is out there, but his first movement is so very slow stately as to be painful. I much prefer a choral presentation to 'one-voice-per-part' for this work, which ruled a few other versions out.)

I did come across an excellent volume presenting an analysis and a number of commentaries on the work at my local Half Price Books some years back and snapped it up, and have read through it twice now.

You may recognize the center movement.
