A Moment of BachBONUS: Post-concert chat: Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (BWV 147) with soprano Emily Wood (BACHTOBERFEST bonus 1 of 2)In this bonus episode, we have a chat with soprano Emily Wood, a featured soloist in the recent concert performance of BWV 147 at Alex's church. We hear about Emily's personal experience singing this wonderfully challenging solo which is nestled in the very heart of this cantata; we also reflect on the whole 10-movement masterpiece. Audio recordings of BWV 147 in this episode are from the recording of this concert, at St. John's Lutheran Church, Orange, CA, USA, featuring Cathedral Singers and Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Alex Guebert.

A Moment of BachFrench Suite no. 4 in E-flat major (BWV 815): Allemande"The psychological effect of all this key-shifting, some jerky, some smooth, is very difficult to describe...perhaps it is the magic of Bach that he can write pieces with this kind of structure which have such a natural grace to them that we are not aware of exactly what is happening." In this episode we use these words by author Douglas Hofstadter to explore Bach's harmony as a deep stack of entangled and recursive structures. A moment from listener Santiago is the smallest of these stacked units, and we use it to zoom out. French Su...2022-08-0823 min

A Moment of BachDarzu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes (BWV 40): opening chorusToday, we give a play-by-play of the opening chorus of this extravagant cantata, which was suggested to us by listener Riley. We talk horns, stretto, and... why you should listen to all different kinds of music. See this delightful work as performed by the Netherlands Bach Society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLDTvI1RrgI Thanks to all our listeners! And this week, an extra thank-you goes to Riley for suggesting this cantata! 2022-08-0122 min

A Moment of BachIch hatte viel Bekümmernis (BWV 21): two chorusesA divine duality: our bad thoughts and God's comfort, our imperfections and God's forgiveness, our guilt and God's love nevertheless. In this long cantata masterwork, Bach does the Psalms justice and expresses their vast emotions. He uses a set of spry and agile musical tools as varied as each phrase of the psalms he puts to music. This is the second of two episodes this month on BWV 21. Performance of this cantata by the Netherlands Bach Society (Shunske Sato, director): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGT0iPpU9is Special thanks to listener E...2022-07-2520 min

A Moment of BachIch hatte viel Bekümmernis (BWV 21): soprano ariaAll Bach arias are duets. This is the first of two episodes on BWV 21, which is one of Bach's earlier works. It's a cantata rich with meaning, with biblical truths spread out from the Psalms to Revelation. And, Alex has a revelation of his own about Bach arias -- sparked by this very piece. Performance of this cantata by the Netherlands Bach Society (Shunske Sato, director): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGT0iPpU9is 2022-07-1826 min

A Moment of BachO Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross (organ chorale prelude, BWV 622)In this hymn prelude about bewailing our sins, Bach chooses not to set the familiar melody starkly and austerely. Instead, the most flowery and passionate ornaments decorate the song. Organists know that our moment is going to be at the end: the famous c-flat major chord which strikes the word "Kreuze" (cross) and the following twists to the slow end on "lange" (long). Let's explore how these harmonies are not randomly chosen but are instead striking alterations of a regular harmonic progression. It's not hard to see why this chorale prelude has long been one of Bach's most popular.2022-07-1120 min

A Moment of BachMass in B minor: Cum sancto spirituListener Alysse requested this triumphant moment from the energetic "Cum sancto spiritu" -- which happens to be Alex's favorite movement of the Mass in B minor. This movement is full of verve and rhythmic complexity. In this episode, we marvel at these rhythms and how they manifest in the two fugues. And, along with listener Alysse, we stand awe and admiration of the mind that brought this music into the world.

A Moment of BachSt. John Passion: ”Herr, unser Herrscher” opening chorusToday we take our first dive into the St. John Passion. In the very first measure of music, the strikingly twisted sounds of the oboes in harsh dissonances calls to mind the pain and anguish of the Passion story. The scene is set for Good Friday. Bach's St. John Passion, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society, conducted by Jos van Veldhoven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMf9XDQBAaI Article on the St. John Passion by Alex Ross (quoted in this episode from 0:41 - 1:49): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/02/bachs-holy-dread ...2022-03-2825 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: ”Barrabam!” and ”Wahrlich...” momentsThe St. Matthew Passion is full of short bursts of dramatic expression. In this episode, we explore two moments of reaction by an onlooking crowd. One of Bach's shortest and most surprising moments happens when Pontius Pilate asks the crowd which prisoner should be released -- Jesus, or Barrabas? The crowd's reply is as disturbing as it is musically shocking. Another moment happens later, after the earthquake and chaos immediately after Christ's death. After the frantic narration, the guard and crowds speak. But this moment is not one of pure terror, but rather sublime realization: "Tr...2022-03-2122 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: ”Aus Liebe” aria (mvt. 49)Sometimes the simplest expression is the most powerful. At a pivotal point in the intimidating and complex St. Matthew Passion, Bach places this strikingly stark, simple, yet devastating piece of music. We discuss how the sparse instrumentation, with its lack of bass sounds, leaves the listener unmoored, feeling the vulnerability of the soloist's emotion. And Alex talks about a "moment of West Wing", so to speak.

A Moment of BachMass in B minor: Qui sedesDo you suffer from "sound fatigue?" Do you worry that after just a few seconds of starting to listen to a piece of music that the rest of it will just... sound the same? Good news! We have something just for that. Bach's B minor mass boasts a wide variety of sound color for your listening pleasure. As long and towering as it is, it never gets old; each part has something new to offer. The structure of the parts and their church themes are just as important and effective as the sound variety in this gigantic m...2022-03-0729 min

A Moment of BachIch steh mit einem Fuß im Grabe (BWV 156): soprano/tenor duet"All's well that ends well." It's an old adage, perhaps best known as the title of a Shakespeare comedy... but for Bach, and in the context of his church life, "all's well that ends well" took on a much more serious meaning. In this cantata, his librettist, Picander, used the phrase to mean that a life well-lived in the service of the Lord will find its end in the peace of earthly death. The title of the cantata means, literally, "I stand with one foot in the grave." But there is no winking irony nor intentional macabre-ness t...2022-02-2829 min

A Moment of BachFugue in D major (Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1)"Bach's music is for many people, as it is for me, daunting. I must be wrong there, because he must have wanted his music to be played...without all this awe and respect. Bach has proven that in the time between him and us, there is little or nothing better than his work." The paraphrased words of the harpsichordist for this recording show us how Bach doesn't need to be overly serious and pompous. In this delightful fugue, the theme evokes the overly prim and proper gestures of aristocrats meeting one another, and perhaps pokes f...2022-02-2125 min

A Moment of BachToccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565)Possibly the most famous organ work ever written, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor is instantly recognizable by its first few notes. But... are those the notes that Bach wrote? The answer might surprise you... In fact, this cornerstone of the organ repertoire has flummoxed so many musicians and music scholars through the generations, it's no wonder that it gets so much attention -- and that's not including the notoriety it began to develop as a piece of stock music for horror films in the silent film era. It found a wide audience in 1940 when it was...2022-02-1438 min

A Moment of BachNun komm, der Heiden Heiland (BWV 61): OvertureAs our second season is beginning, we revisit the masterwork Christian selected for his first moment, but this time we look at the very beginning. The cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland is the regal music for the first week of the liturgical year, but its overture is more than just pomp and circumstance. If we delve into the first few seconds, we will find that the music is all shaped by the Advent theme of preparation and the divine coming down to be human. Advertisers blast Christmas music at us every year -- why not prepare for the...2022-02-0726 min

A Moment of BachViolin Partita No.2 in D minor: ChaconneWelcome back! For our first episode of Season 2, we dive into one of the great violin solo pieces. And there is a rich well of musical material here in the Violin Partita No. 2. Alex's moment features the technical prowess of the soloist, Shunske Sato -- a bravura section of flurrying fast arpeggiated figures. But even more profound is the structure of the Chaconne: a cyclical theme that moves from minor to major to minor, and seems as if it could circle around and around, into eternity.

A Moment of BachIch habe genug (BWV 82): ”Schlummert ein” aria (with Dr. William Heide)Today we are joined by Dr. William Heide, longtime music minister at St. John's Lutheran Church, Orange, CA -- as well as a longtime Bach expert. He has conducted over 60 full Bach cantatas in concerts spanning the three decades of his tenure at St. John's. The three of us chat about the lasting power of this particular work, in which the soloist sings about welcoming his own passage from life to death, about closing his weary eyes to rest, about leaving the pain of the world behind. The middle movement is a masterwork within a masterwork -- a...2021-09-2745 min

A Moment of BachCrab Canon (Canon 1 a 2 from The Musical Offering, BWV 1079)A short, simple piece for a solo instrument -- only 35 seconds long. Yet it has captured the imaginations of so many people: musicians, philosophers, artists, mathematicians, and more. It's all because of the unique cleverness of Bach -- showing us here that he can construct a piece that can be played forwards OR backwards... OR both at the same time! Yes, this piece is actually for two instruments -- one playing it normally and the other playing it backwards in time. Alex recounts the story of Bach composing this piece (and the rest of The Musical Offering), and...2021-09-2026 min

A Moment of BachIch ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639 (Orgelbüchlein)The organ is an instrument built into a building. Selecting a variety of sounds for an organ composition which requires more than two is a new task on each different organ, and the varieties and combinations are essentially endless. In this chorale prelude in "trio" texture, three distinct organ sounds make up the musical texture, each with a distinct job. Bach's mastery of organ composition was demonstrated not just by long showy fugues and toccatas. The Orgelbüchlein is a collection of short chorale preludes in artful style and with the theological purpose of spanning the themes o...2021-09-1328 min

A Moment of BachMass in B minor: Et in terra paxAlex spends one more episode excitedly leading us through some of his favorite music, this time from the "Et in terra pax" movement. Picking up from where last episode left off, we talk about the beauty and simplicity of the main melody of "Et in terra pax", which Bach cleverly reuses as a fugue subject a bit later. This is classic Bach -- elegant and sophisticated, joyful and heartfelt, deeply complex and yet effortlessly clear and beautiful.

A Moment of BachMass in B minor: Gloria in excelsis Deo"Glory to God in the highest!" The orchestra and choir burst with excitement and joy. Alex and Christian talk about the beauty of the Latin language, the huge orchestra (which seems actually pretty small by today's standards), the Protestant Reformation, and somehow Christian even gets a tuba joke in there. Alex talks us through his favorite moment -- the end of the instrumental introduction, where Bach uses a rhythmic trick to ramp up the excitement leading into the choral entrance.

At the end of this episode, we play for you all five moments in order. If you haven't listened to episode 30, you should start there. This very early work uses arcane sounds and woeful harmonies to call "out of the depths," but it also contains minute-for-minute some of the most varied experiments in voice-leading, rhythm, suspended harmonies, beat units, and final chord pro...2021-08-2337 min

A Moment of BachPART 1: Aus der Tiefen rufe ich...: moments from mvts. 1-2For our thirtieth(!) episode, we celebrate by taking a five-movement cantata and giving you one moment from each. This will be a two-part series; this episode introduces the cantata and delves into Christian's moments from the first two movements, while next week we'll see his moments for movements 3-5. This very early work uses arcane sounds and woeful harmonies to call "out of the depths," but it also contains minute-for-minute some of the most varied experiments in voice-leading, rhythm, suspended harmonies, beat units, and final chord progressions (cadences) that Bach ever wrote. Are they attempts at an o...2021-08-1633 min

A Moment of BachChromatic Fantasia and FugueWhat is the "flow state"? The answer can be heard in this performance of Bach's "Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue" by Menno van Delft. So deeply "in the zone" of playing this piece, he demonstrates what so many professional musicians can do after practicing a piece for so many hours: the muscle memory kicks in and the piece just plays itself, with the performer able to fully express the musicality without worrying about the minutiae of notes and rhythms. In this episode we talk about the flow state, as well as the meaning of "chromatic" and "fantasia". Also...2021-08-0921 min

A Moment of BachHerr, deine Augen sehen... BWV 102: chorus (Sie haben ein härter Angesicht...)The harsh musical interval of the tritone, the "Diabolus in Musica" (devil in music), was strictly controlled in much of early music. So wouldn't it be striking and bold to make a melody out of two of them? In this scary cantata opening, Bach does exactly this to set a terrifying fugue on the words "They have made their faces harder than a rock" to depict those who have gone astray from God. The music is appropriately harsh with tritones abounding, showing us that Bach's counterpoint can serve chaos just as well as order. These lawbreakers are l...2021-08-0220 min

A Moment of BachKomm, Jesu, komm (BWV 229): 1st movementBach died on July 28, 1750, leaving behind a staggering 1,100 complete musical works, some comprised of many separate movements of music. Today we honor the 271th anniversary of Bach's death -- by digging into the double choir motet Komm, Jesu, komm. We talk about funeral music, Pascal's Wager, the "angry" interval of the diminished 7th, and the special emotionality of the German language. Komm, Jesu, komm (BWV 229) as performed by the Netherlands Bach Society; conducted by Stephan MacLeod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boPBBgsnyiI A helpful and concise biography on J. S.

A Moment of BachViolin Concerto in A minor: II. Andante (opening)What is it that makes some magical moments of music feel like freefall or floating? What is it that makes some moments feel like firm, steady ground? The key is in the bass -- the lowest part of the music, which (by Bach's time) had developed a foundational role in all current musical styles. Listen here how Bach takes a firmly grounded bass line and toys with it -- pushes and pulls it. After a magical feeling of floating, Bach employs the wonderful trick of "dropping" the bass back in; this trick is going strong in the present day...2021-07-1932 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: "Erbarme dich" aria (mvt. 39)One of the most beloved arias of all time, "Erbarme dich" ("Have mercy on me") comes straight from the contrite heart of Peter, the disciple of Jesus, on Good Friday. After denying Christ three times, he realized his sin, and "went out and wept bitterly". The violin solo represents the anguish of Peter's soul at this moment. Bach scores the emotion here, just like a movie composer would. This is musical storytelling at its finest. Thank you to listener Molly for the suggestion!

A Moment of BachGoldberg Variations: 18 (canon at the sixth)In our first episode about the monumental Goldberg Variations, Christian shows how to break down a canon (round). Unlike "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," the two parts in this canon do not start on the same note. But we can also learn about how this canon was written by using a different perspective entirely. The recipe is simple: start with a very simple melody; add harmony (at the sixth interval), making the melody into two parts; delay one part by a beat (it won't work without this part!), causing some momentary tensions; decorate everything with ornamentation. Because of the...2021-07-0529 min

Then another, then another, then another: "I believe in one God..." soon the whole room is full of people confessing their shared faith. Bach sets this simple text (the beginning of the Nicene Creed) to a simple seven-note tune, but spirals it out into a seven-voice fugue that ranks up there with the most complex pieces of harmonic work of the baroque era. And yet, despite the remarkable density of the counterpoint, the music sounds effortless a...2021-06-2832 min

A Moment of BachEnglish Suite No. 1 in A major: SarabandeJoin us as we uncover the complexity under the surface of the seemingly simple music of Bach's English Suite in A major. The harpsichord is an elegant yet austere instrument. It has only a fraction of the power and versatility of a pipe organ, and none of the soft/loud sensitivity of the piano, yet, it is elegant in its simplicity. We remark on how the harpsichordist seems to activate the very core of this music in her interpretation, adding ornamentation and stretching time. She proves here that the harpsichord can be wonderfully expressive. Netherlands Bac...2021-06-1426 min

A Moment of BachDer Herr denket an uns (BWV 196): fugue (Er segnet...)What is counterpoint? What’s a fugue, and why is that musical structure so tied to the idea of Bach’s work? The answer lies not only in the most towering and imposing works of fugue, but also the most simple and graceful. This early wedding cantata features a small moment of fugue so sublimely perfect that it seems like it must have always existed. As it flows along like an inevitable river, each of its parts begin separately but go through an identical natural progression of musical material as all the others. The words point to a blessing upon...2021-06-0730 min

Eric Clausen, a Lutheran pastor and Alex and Christian's brother-in-law, shares his perspective on church music and how this piece became so meaningful for him. We talk about Bach's life as a church musician, how these cantata texts can have more in common with contemporary praise music than "traditional" hymns, and music's enduring power to enrich the soul.

A Moment of BachO ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe (BWV 34): aria openingThe orchestra is full of countless sound combinations. In Bach's time, the orchestra was smaller and these new expressions mostly hadn't yet been explored. But in the "Wohl euch" aria from the Pentecost cantata O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe, Bach experimented with a new language in tone color with violins and flutes. The Pentecost story of the cantata is a sort of reverse Tower of Babel; apostles were given a gift of the Spirit's fire and could suddenly communicate in many languages. Bach, a Protestant, took advantage of writing the church's vocal music in the people's language...2021-05-2430 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: "Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder!" aria (mvt. 42)You will be humming this one for days! Even if you didn't know of this particular aria before hearing this episode of A Moment of Bach, it's impossible not to be charmed by this sprightly tune on a first listen. But there is also some fury and swift anger in the music -- the words are "Give me my Jesus back!" and they are shouted at the soldiers who have arrested Jesus on the night of His betrayal. "Gebt mir" aria (Sayuri Yamagata, violin; Sebastian Noack, bass): https://youtu.be/ZwVW1ttVhuQ?t=5722 2021-05-1716 min

A Moment of BachChorale: Christus, der ist mein LebenLet's call this one "How to Break a Chorale." A Bach chorale is a pure, simple expression of a hymn tune. Sometimes it contains complex harmony, but the harmony is always in support of a song that the people knew, and the texture is simple and chordal. This is why today's moment feels like a bolt of lightning from the blue! It's a chorale for a few seconds...before it stretches apart at the seams. Four separate, strange tones tear the fabric of the chorale at the word "death." The chorale reemerges happily and hopefully. 2021-05-1025 min

Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are considered by many to be the pinnacle of instrumental Baroque music. Come and join us as we explore why.

A Moment of BachDu Hirte Israel, höre (BWV 104): openingDon't you just "know" when someone has put good work into a product just from your first experience with it? We think this is why Bach never feels lazy. While Bach excels at portraying a shepherd's pasture with music, we hear how some contemporary examples from film and TV are so much more widely varied in quality. Bach's musical pasture is so idyllic that we can use it to de-stress from our modern lives! Cantata BWV 104: https://youtu.be/eZaL8XakQLo Freesound #183454 CC license 2021-04-1216 min

A Moment of BachBleib bei uns (BWV 6): alto aria"Stay with us, for night is falling..." Happy Easter Monday! Today's moment comes from the Easter Monday cantata "Bleib bei uns" ("Stay with us"). The music is inspired by the story of the two disciples who met a stranger along the road as night was falling. The twist ending of this story makes us look back on the moment a little differently. "Stay with us..." is given new meaning. Alto aria (Tim Mead, countertenor; Yongcheon Shin, oboe da caccia): https://youtu.be/YOtAvqH_A9k?t=346 2021-04-0522 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: "Wiewohl" recitative (mvt. 12)In our tenth episode, we celebrate the genesis of this podcast's main premise. Using a humble and unassuming bit of connecting music from the St. Matthew Passion, Christian shows how Bach portrayed the soul swimming in tears. Love emerges victorious in the last line, where the music reaches a shimmering conclusion. "How can we talk about moments like this?!" That was our question to each other, so that's why we've got a podcast now! "Wiewohl" recitative: https://youtu.be/ZwVW1ttVhuQ?t=1732 2021-03-2923 min

A Moment of BachSt. Matthew Passion: "Wenn ich einmal" chorale (mvt. 62)In our ninth episode, we take our first look at the beloved St. Matthew Passion. Staggering in its emotional scope, this work tells the complete story of Jesus's suffering and death (from the Gospel of Matthew -- in German!), interspersed with personal reflections. Hearing this music, it is as if you are transported -- you are there, at the cross. The St. Matthew Passion is a true masterpiece. St. Matthew Passion last chorale: https://youtu.be/ZwVW1ttVhuQ?t=8543 2021-03-2231 min

A Moment of BachGottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit: sonatinaIn our eighth episode, a very young Bach employs old funereal recorders and viols for maximum heartstring-pulling effect in one of the most sublime few minutes of music: the opening sonatina of the cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (God's time is the very best time). The cantata, also known as Actus tragicus, is a masterwork from beginning to end. It's easy to see why Christian selected one of its many moments. Full cantata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXMUpqSyJJo&t=1083s 2021-03-1529 min

A Moment of BachJesu, meine Freude (BWV 227): 9th movementIn our seventh episode, we find lots of remarkable moments from Bach's 11-movement choral masterwork "Jesu, meine Freude". Alex describes his favorite moment: the end of movement 9 ("Gute Nacht"), when all the wandering voices slow down and come to rest on a single, solitary note. We also explore some new ways to listen to music that has multiple voice parts, focusing on the beauty of the inner lines. Jesu, meine Freude conducted by Christoph Prégardien: https://youtu.be/uN5Tt7SAhzg 2021-03-0828 min

A Moment of BachPrelude in C major (Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1)In our sixth episode, we marvel at the simple beauty of the C major Prelude, one of the most recognizable pieces of all time. Why is this keyboard exercise pattern with apparently no melody so famous and captivating? Christian unpacks its structure by looking not for a moment in the middle, but instead where the end and beginning seem to touch. Prelude in C Major performed by Siebe Henstra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqWH9bKzQE 2021-03-0118 min

A Moment of BachPassacaglia in C minorIn our fifth episode, the church organ comes alive! Alex guides us through the journey of the Passacaglia in C minor -- starting with a hushed, low tune, and expanding into an epic finale that could shake a cathedral. Passacaglia played by Reitze Smits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzBXZ__LN_M And played by Cathedral Bells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t6xG9bsBA8 2021-02-2215 min

A Moment of BachMagnificat (BWV 243): openingIn our fourth episode, Christian introduces the opening of the Magnificat. No expense was spared in Bach’s triumphant and expressive Magnificat, including a force of three trumpets and timpani. Christian uses the Magnificat opening to introduce the baroque trumpet, an instrument very different from the modern-day version.

A Moment of BachWachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (BWV 140): opening chorusIn our third episode, Alex introduces one of Bach's most beloved church cantatas: "Wachet auf" -- "Wake up!" The watchmen on the tower are calling! At a certain magical moment, Bach removes the bass instruments so we can hear the bright, ringing voices announcing that Christ is coming to the world. Alex also describes the beauty of the rest of the cantata, with audio examples from the Netherlands Bach Society's performance. BWV 140 opening chorale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqZE54i-muE 2021-02-0818 min

A Moment of BachNun komm, der Heiden Heiland (BWV 61): bass recitativeIn our second episode, Christian introduces the royal processional of the cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland. We celebrate the launch of the podcast with this cantata for the new church year, an early Bach work. But the "moment" is hidden later on, where the young Bach uses an experimental sound: a knock at the door from plucked strings with an unresolved harmony. The voice of Jesus sings "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." BWV 61 bass recitative: https://youtu.be/MzWJsRjanC4?t=571 2021-02-0117 min

A Moment of BachDona nobis pacemIn our first episode, Alex introduces a triumphant moment near the end of the "Dona nobis pacem" from the monumental Mass in B Minor, and we introduce the audio centerpiece of our podcast: the Netherlands Bach Society and their "All of Bach" project. But first, we discuss the question at the heart of the show's premise: "Why Bach?" Dona nobis pacem: https://youtu.be/3FLbiDrn8IE?t=6315 Artwork: Sydney LaCom 2021-01-2520 min

My friend and PhD candidate Christian Guebert will join us to take a look at Guillaume de Machaut, a man who changed church music forever. If you enjoy singing in church that is more than chanting, then at least to some degree you should thank Machaut. He helped bring new beauty and complexity into sacred music. And he was a soldier, priest and poet as well. Note: While there is an abrupt stop at the end of the episode, the next episode picks up directly where this one ends.2019-04-2900 min
