The Making of a Masterpiece

Keep it Short: J.S. Bach's Magnificat by Professor Christopher Hogwood. The art of being succinct is not one always associated with the works of Bach; in his compact setting of the Magnificat he employs economy and symbolism to illustrate each verse in a few minutes of music which challenge the reader of "de-code" the full message.
