Johann Sebastian Bach at the organ

LIONEL ROGG
performs the greatest of all J.S. Bach's 
Great Organ Works
The ST. ANNE PRELUDE and FUGUE


There as never been the slightest doubt in my mind that Johann Sebastian Bach took dictation directly from the Mind of Almighty God.

  1. In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

    Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

    For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

    Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

    Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

    I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.

    I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

    And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

    Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

    For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

    I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

    I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

    For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

    But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

    My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

    Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

    Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

    Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

    Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

    Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

    Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

    For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

    O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

    Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.


    Psalm 31 - KJV

  2. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

    Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

    Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

    Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

    Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

    The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

    He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

    The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

    He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

    He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

    For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

    As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

    Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

    For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

    As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

    For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

    But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

    To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

    The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

    Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

    Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

    Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.


    Psalm 108 - KJV

  3. In case any passersby are wondering we've had several comments posted to this item. Unfortunately none of them were in any wa relevant to the St. Anne Prelude and Fugue or to Johann SebastianBach, so we could not let them appear. Some of these remarks were just the churlish expressions of trolls who would love to provoke a feud.

    WE WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT –– NOT NOW –– NOT EVER.

    AS ALWAYS WE WOULD RATHER BE ALONE THAN IN BAD COMPANY.

  4. Like others, I predicted that when Jug Hussein Ears was elected that any opposition to his policies would be considered racist. That's the Dimocrat way: portray Republicans and conservatives as sexist, racist homophobes. Dick sent me this list of items that make us racist in the style of Jeff Foxworthy.
