Ajoutée par magataganm, 23 Jun 2015 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) 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. Reißt euch los, bedrängte Sinnen ("You are torn loose, afflicted sinners"), BWV 224, is a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig in 1724 for an unknown occasion. The author of the text is unknown and there are only 30 measures of aria for soprano extant, copied by CPE Bach. This is all that exists of the score (recovered by CPE Bach): This http://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht/? PPN=PPN776720643 Although originally created as a Soprano Aria, I created this arrangement for Solo Viola. |
