| Added by magataganm, 14 Jun 2017 Johann Sebastian Bach was better known as a virtuoso organist than as a composer in his day. His sacred music, organ and choral works, and other instrumental music had an enthusiasm and seeming freedom that concealed immense rigor. Bach's use of counterpoint was brilliant and innovative, and the immense complexities of his compositional style -- which often included religious and numerological symbols that seem to fit perfectly together in a profound puzzle of special codes -- still amaze musicians today. Many consider him the greatest composer of all time. This work is included in the Neumeister Collection along with 37 other J.S. Bach chorales. The collection contains a total of 82 chorales by several different composers and was rediscovered in 1985 by organist Christoph Wolff at the Yale Library, having been in musical limbo for two centuries. "Machs mit mir Gott nach deiner Güt" (Do With Me What Thy Goodness Impels Thee) is short, lasting only about two minutes, and like many of the other rediscovered chorales has now attained some currency in recitals and on recordings. The time of its composition is not certain, though it can safely be surmised that it was likely written in the first years of the eighteenth century. The treatment of the chorale theme here is light and graceful, with a quite lively tempo and most of the writing in the manuals in the upper register. The mood throughout is somewhat ethereal, the work conveying gentle, bell-like sonorities and imparting a sort of celestial kind of hazy sound. Bach invests the music with brilliant and quite atmospheric counterpoint. In the end, the work cannot be assessed as being of major consequence, but it will offer worthwhile rewards to most listeners.
