What were some of bachs songs?
Bach wrote quite a lot of songs, here is a list of all of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_and_arias_of_Johann_Sebastian_Bach If you are looking for the most famous movements in his composition, I would probably say Air (from BWV 1068), Toccata in D Minor (from BWV 565), Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude (from BWV 147) and Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 115). As for his most famous whole compositions, probably the Mass in B Minor (BWV 232), the St. Matthew's Passion (BWV 244), the Brandenburg Concerti (BWV 1046-1051), the Goldberg Variations (BWV 988), and several cantatas (like 140, 147, 8, 211 and 106). Bach's works are so vast that giving you a mere five tracks seems to be unfair to the essence of the composer. Start with some discs of "The Best of Bach" or similar titles, and slowly work your way through the works of this amazing composer. I just gave you small taste here.
Why is Bach music so popular?
It is soothing and speaks to the soul...even though most of it is in German. Go to napster search track and type in Jesu joy of mans desiring. If you don't mind me asking, have you ever listened to bach before? --- As an avid fan of baroque-era music and Bach in particular, I find that he simply knew how to take a simple tune and draw every last drop of juice from in there (examples are Cantata BWV 140, the Art of Fugue and many others). Bach, having been a master scholar with access to hundreds of composers before and during his lifetime, as well as a player of essentially all instruments of his time - was able to create many different variations and interpretations of existing hymns. He transcribed existing music (BWV 593), wrote in traditional forms (BWV 1066-1069), wrote in 'wilder' forms (Toccata from BWV 564), wrote in all the musical keys (BWV 846-893), and even in ancient Greek modes (BWV 538). He wrote simple and touching things (BWV 999) as well as fancy music for huge choirs and orchestra (BWV 244). But of all the things that can be said (such as his mastery of single instruments like the cello in BWV 1007-1012) - I think that what touches me most is his mastery of the fugue form, where Bach takes a plain melody, and plays another one, two, three or even four melodies on top of it - creating a musical sensation which I think is unique and is the most appealing to me. Hope this helps. -------------- Short answer: because it communicates to a lot of people.
