I love to find creative expressions by creative people.
Today’s video is a duet playing “Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor” by Bach … on glass.
Yes, the video is over 10 minutes long; but at least enjoy the first two minutes, which is the most familiar part of the music.
Imagine if this were played instead of the organ in Phantom of the Opera. It would be a completely different experience!
The Unpredictable God
Revelation 4:6 says, “Before the throne of God there was a sea of glass like a crystal.” What kind of beautiful music, resonating from the sea of glass, will fill the air before His throne to accompany the voices of the redeemed singing praises to our Lord?
Wow!! Just, wow. Also, you do what for a living?
I could run out of adjectives praising this performance. I am settling for “heavenly.”
I love Bill Bethel’s comment. Gave me goosebumps.
When hubby and I were dating we would go to Pier One and do this with their glassware. We did it to annoy the staff. I am humbled by this video 🙂
I popped it up on the computer thinking, “sounds like a fun listen while I read email”. So fascinating I ended up just watching the whole thing. Thanks, Steve. Your selection transformed a difficult week into a beautiful day today.
Incredible and beautiful!
The precision in their timing was astonishing. They were perfectly synchronized.
Yet another blessing from this amazing blog.
Wonderful music to my heart, soul and ears!
Thank you so much, this is absolutely beautiful!!!
Amazing how they set this up and became so accomplished with it. I wish Bach could see and hear this. I believe he would be pleased, and perhaps humbled to know his music was performed like this in 2024.
I too thought I’d only listen a few minutes and had to stop and listen and ponder the creativity and skill involved. I’m grateful for literal and figurative ears to “hear”. Bach dedicated his compositions to the Lord. Here’s a bit of Wikipedia info: “Little is known about its early existence until the piece was discovered in an undated manuscript produced by Johannes Ringk. It was first published in 1833 during the early Bach Revival period through the efforts of composer Felix Mendelssohn, who also performed the piece in 1840. It was not until the 20th century that its popularity rose above that of other organ compositions by Bach, as exemplified by its inclusion in Walt Disney’s 1940 animated film Fantasia that featured Leopold Stokowski’s orchestral transcription from 1927.”
How amazing! And with glasses!!?
What a duo!
God bless you.
Blessings.
No adequate words. Amazing. Just amazing and heavenly! Thanks for posting this!
