> Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is acknowledged as one of the most
> famous and gifted of all composers past and present in the entire western
> world. Orphaned at the age of ten, Bach studied with various family
> members but was mostly self-taught in music.
>
> He began his professional career as conductor, performer, composer,
> teacher, and organ consultant at age 19 in the town of Arnstadt. He
> traveled wherever he received good commissions and steady employment,
> ending up in Leipzig, where the last 27 years of his life found him
> serving as Kantor, responsible for all music in the city's four Lutheran
> churches.
>
> Acclaimed more in his own time as a superb keyboard artist, the majority
> of his compositions fell into disuse following his death, which
> musicologists use to date the end of the Baroque Period and the beginning
> of the Classical Era. However, his compositional ability was rediscovered,
> in large part due to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn. The genius and
> sheer magnitude of Bach's vocal and instrumental compositions remain
> overwhelming. Also, whether due to nature or nurture, he was but one of
> the giants in, perhaps, the most talented musical family of all time.
>
> Christendom especially honors J. S. Bach, a staunch and devoted Lutheran,
> for his lifelong insistence that his music was written primarily for the
> liturgical life of the Church, glorifying God and edifying His people. For
> an overview of the Christological basis of his work and a strong argument
> that he was among the theological giants of Lutheranism, please read J. S.
> Bach: Orthodox Lutheran Theologian?.
>
> Today we remember his "heavenly birthday," for it was on 28 July AD 1750
> that the Lord translated Mr. Bach to glory.
>
> Soli deo gloria - To God alone the glory! These words appear on most
> manuscripts of Bach's compositions as testimony to his faith and his idea
> of music's highest, noblest use.
>
> A friend, Mr. Bob Myers, drew this to my attention. It would be best for
> you to watch this while it still remains up on YouTube. This is a recent
> documentary that offers a fairly good overview of the Reformation and the
> work of J.S. Bach as the servant of the Lutheran Church that he was,
> laboring away in near obscurity, using limited resources. It's kind of
> quirky, in a typically British way. It is good that it focuses on the
> music as Bach actually wrote it and for the purpose he wrote it. Everyone
> is familiar with Bach's instrumental works, but in fact his massive cycles
> of Church cantatas are his greatest achievements. This documentary "gets
> it" as well, if not better, than anything I've seen before. There are some
> great scenes filmed in St. Mary's Church, Wittenberg; St. Thomas, Leipzig,
> and St. George, Eisenach. The churches are not always clearly identified.
> It's a shame they didn't subtitle the chorales and cantatas as they were
> sung. But that's often the way it is: people focus more on the music and
> not the words, which, to Bach, were the most important reason why he wrote
> his music. The Word of God was conveyed by Bach's music in powerful ways,
> but it is not the music, per se, that is the thing, it is the Word of God,
> and . most importantly and significantly of all Bach was interested in
> conveying Christ and Him crucified. This aspect of his work is hinted at
> but never specifically articulated. We can only assume the American
> Lutheran pastor who is interviewed in this piece did explicitly confess
> Christ, but his remarks were edited out. That's usually how it is with
> Bach. People grow increasingly uncomfortably the more specifically
> Christian the talk gets. But Bach's great church music was all about
> Christ. They can't help but tell us that when they feature the popular
> chorale from Bach's Cantata 147, Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring.
>
> Renowned actor and former chorister Simon Russell Beale explores the
> flowering of Western sacred music in this documentary series for BBC FOUR.
> Simon's travels bring him to Germany where Martin Luther's Protestant
> Reformation led to a musical revolution and ultimately to the glorious
> works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Luther, a Catholic monk who was also a
> composer, had a profound effect on the development of sacred music. He
> re-defined the role of congregational singing and the use of the organ in
> services. Crucially he also developed the hugely important tradition of
> singing in the vernacular which would characterize protestant worship for
> the next 500 years. Martin Luther's reforms - and the century and a half
> of music that followed - shaped the world of JS Bach. Although today he is
> considered by many to be one of the greatest composers in history, in
> reality Bach spent most of his life working for the church and unknown to
> anyone outside of a small part of Germany. Simon's journey includes
> Eisenach, in Eastern Germany, where Bach was born and the extraordinary
> space of the Thomaskirke in Leipzig where the composer spent much of his
> career. Here he discovers how Johann Sebastian Bach was in many ways a one
> man music factory, who for many years produced for the church work of the
> very highest quality, week after week after week. Bach wrote over a
> thousand pieces of music, and nearly two thirds of them he produced for
> the Lutheran Church. Throughout the programme, in the period setting of St
> George's Lutheran Church in East London, conductor Harry Christophers
> leads singers from `The Sixteen' and a small group of baroque
> instrumentalists through some of the key repertoire - including: `Jesu Joy
> of Man's Desiring', one of Bach's most celebrated religious works, which
> is based on a Lutheran hymn tune.

> McCain observation:
>
> Lutherans, ask yourself why it is that it takes the BBC to do a
> documentary like this, and why "we" can't muster the will and resources to
> produce this. I say this to our shame. While we fritter away our time
> chasing after whatever is popular in American Evangelicalism, the very
> things that can, and do, make Lutheranism an absolutely unique and
> distinct confession of Christianity are ignored, set aside, or worse yet,
> spoken of with derision-by Lutherans! Lord, have mercy on us all.
