Johannes Sebastian Bach – “Agnus Dei from Mass in B Minor”

ヨハネス・セバスチャン・バッハ – 「アグナス・デイ・イン・ミー・イン・マイナー」

TIME COMMITMENT: 6 minutes

This is autumnal messianism by 1000 cuts, wailing subcutaneously at all of life’s regrets.  Bach excels in tetrahedral combination of dextrously crafted coincidences that morph into a seamless, melancholic whole.  The emotional pendulum marks the pivotal element of a Roman Catholic mass, located here in the 24th movement of ‘Mass in B Minor’.

A REFLECTION

Now, O Christ, seal my eyelids

Let ice on my lips be spread

All the hours are superfluous

All the words have been said!

Gabriela Mistral: “Ecstasy”
