Day 6

Task: What band or musician is most important to you?

It seems Honey has defaulted on Day 6 so it is just Sifiso and I today...

Sifiso...

Johann Sebastian Bach

Now the baroque era is a very early, but critical era in music. From baroque we find music impacting the mind, body and soul. We find things like musical imagery, themes and motifs! I would love to elaborate on those, but this is not the time for history and appreciation of music lecture.

Of the composers of the era, I have the deepest connection with Bach. I have not studied much of his personal life, but I get his music.

The reason I've gone with such an old musician is because I'm a purist and believe that he made important reforms that are at the heart of what we listen to nowadays.


Me...

I had to think long and hard about this one. I have a lot of favourites but "important" is another thing. Looking at my CD collection I decided, Joyous Celebration must be important to me seeing I have a collection of their music.

I guess their music somehow takes me to church, and sometimes all you need is just a little church:)
