In Reply to: Can you remember the first piece of classical music that left an impression and how old were you? posted by Frank Waller on December 4, 2002 at 08:02:46:
I was fortunate to grow up in a country where even before FM we had a national radio service dedicated to the best in the arts and music, and we still have it.I knew about Bach before I ever sang his music.
but I guess the piece that really sticks is 'Jesu meine Freude' a Chorale by JS Bach. Which I sang in a cathedral choir before I turned 10, the same year I lost my father to cancer! here is a quite really high passage in it for the boy sopranos which I just knew I could not do.
Neddie, the choirmaster, knew I could. I will never forget the surprise of hitting those notes. Nor the sheer joy of singing them over the rest of the music in that huge space when we 'did it' a week later.
The other would be that great english anthem, "As pants the hart for cooling streams". Who wrote it I still do not know, andthere may be more than one setting.
