Is this the music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdLCcQixNvg] you speak of on your user page? Bach was a genius! [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 01:35, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

:Hi Karajou -- yes, that's from the same piece (and Andreas Scholl is one of the finest living interpreters of that part, in my opinion). Stunning. Thanks, I needed to hear that! Here's a link to a performance of the ''gratias agimus tibi'' (Karl Richter -- modern instruments): [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-xz0UJ2BUQ] ("We give Thee thanks for thy great glory"). I can still remember the experience of my hair standing on end, as a teenager, listening for the first time to sublime music by a man who loved God and meant it. The piece builds and builds; it's a perfect curve with a big entrance right at the [[Golden_Ratio|golden mean]]. Incredible. [[User:Cassian|Cassian]] 17:19, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
