Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Northern Arizona University (College of arts and letters), language: English, abstract: The statement of this essay is the following: Johann Sebastian Bach’s music is his own religion. It does not matter where it is performed, because it turns every room into a church. His chords build actual cathedrals, and his compositions stream devotion to God and the Divine. Bach is the theologian among classical composers. He examined fundamental questions about life and death, human creation, and the Creator. Without a doubt, it takes a lifetime to be able to interpret and perform Bach’s music, understand it, emotionally experience it, envision the divine and heaven, and to understand life, death, good, and evil as his music presents it.
