title: [Themes of dying and death in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach].
abstract: Johann Sebastian Bach's music evokes feelings and provokes thoughts about the meaning of human existence, but also thoughts and feelings with regard to death and dying. By virtue of their earthliness and chimerical divinity, musical compositions by Bach are all-embracing, transporting the listener into a third dimension that reveals the unexplored depths of time and eternity.
