“Now Thank We All Our God” from Cantata 79 . . . J. S. Bach, arr. by Virgil Fox

I am grateful for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.  He has been voted as the Greatest Composer of All Time by 174 of the world’s leading composers for BBC Music Magazine:  “A major figure of the Baroque era, Bach is one of the most sublime creative geniuses in any form of the arts, a composer whose music is revered equally for its technical mastery, brilliant complexity and sheer exquisite beauty.   Composer Unsuk Chin comments, “Bach’s music displays great emotions and fiery temperament while being the highest conceivable summit of composition as an intellectual art. It is a synthesis of past music and the creations of his own time as well as a bold vision of the future. Up to Bach, musical works disappeared after a premiere or, at least, after a composer’s death. Bach was too grand to be ignored. Great musical minds as diverse as Beethoven, Chopin, the Master of Jazz, Boulez – and countless others – are unthinkable without Bach’s legacy.

FYI here’s the top ten list:

1.  J. S. Bach            2. Igor Stravinsky       3.  Ludwig van Beethoven

4.  W. A. Mozart      5. Claude Debussy      6.  Gyorgy Ligeti     

7.  Gustav Mahler    8. Richard Wagner      9.  Maurice Ravel  

10. Claudio Monteverdi
