What did you hear?

You may or may not be a fan of church organ music but do a little experiment with me. Listen to the same music as above but this time watch this interesting visual display. It will illuminate aspects of Bach's mathematical genius that you might have missed in the first video. I think you will be amazed to notice how the many layers of melodies work together, different timbers of the organ, staccato and legato, and patterns that tie it all together.

Toccata and Fugue

As Anne watched and listened I heard her say "Oooooooo!" a couple times and even chuckle a couple times.

Peace,
Oh, and have a merry, white Easter!
