Ever listened to Bach's "Actus Tragicus?" It is too beautiful for words.

[DemoTex]

'Bach's Actus Tragicus comes as close as any piece of music I know towards piercing the membrane that separates the material world from whatever lies beyond it.' John Eliot Gardiner on the heart-rending symmetry of one of Bach's greatest works. Granta, Jan 9, 2002.

2. I'm not familiar with this piece.

Bach is my favorite composer. I think his Mass in B minor is one of the most sublime musical works ever written.

4. Get it.

Dry your eyes. It is short, but too beautiful for words.

5. Ordered it after listening to excerpts at Amazon, got it used,

the version conducted by Gardiner. The excerpts sounded beautiful - on cheap PC speakers.

I don't know how Bach did it.
