Today we talk "Men in Black", "Coco", "Futurama", and hear a slappin' bass line from an 80's funk song. Oh, and some Bach. Remember to stop and smell the forget-me-nots -- in other words, enjoy those moments.

Overtures belong at the beginning, introducing what is to come. So why is one found at Variation 16 of the giant Goldberg Aria and Variations?
Well, it is the beginning, but of the second half of 30 variations. Variation 15 takes us into fear and an... more
To play baroque music properly -- especially a bouncing jig like this one in 12/8 time -- you must "unlearn what you have learned", and rethink how you articulate music. Articulation is so important -- the music must feel and look light and airy. T... more
The towering thirty Goldberg Variations combine into a masterwork of keyboard music. As all variation pieces, they were based on a relatively simple source material. But as is his way, Bach organized the variations with a complex and deliberate struc... more

For musicians and non-musicians alike, but especially for lovers of Bach’s music, there’s always something fresh and new to be learned from the hosts of this podcast.
Entertaining, educational and beautifully produced show. This is always a fun and informative listen! As a CTSFW seminarian, I particularly appreciate the topic of the intersection of theology and composition. We can't understand Bach's genius and the richness of his work apart from Christ and Lutheran (Biblical) theology. May our Lord bless your endeavor! SDG
I didn’t think I could cherish Bach’s music more than I do, already, but these moments are fractal-like and handled so very ably by Alex and Christian. Along with outer space and the ocean depths, Bach’s music is perhaps the third wonder of the cosmos deserving of a lifetime of contemplation.
Like the moments that Alex and Christian choose, this series is remarkable. I am willing to bet that all Bach enthusiasts—not to mention scholars—will learn something new in each episode. A wonderful resource.
If you love Bach then this series is a delight. If you don’t yet know Bach, then I envy you the discovery that lies ahead for you
