Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ

Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ
Bach's most famous organ piece, with a bar-graph score. FAQ Q: I appreciate the work you're doing; how can I support it? A: Thank you! The easiest way to support my work is by contributing via Patreon: http://ift.tt/1RnV92D If you'd like to help in more specific way, consider this: http://ift.tt/1XRUgXz Q: Where can I get free sheet music for this piece? A: Sheet music for this can be found here: http://ift.tt/1Jf0Ehl Q: Who wrote Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor? Q: Isn't that like asking who's buried in Grant's Tomb? A: Heh-heh. A theory has recently (1981) been put forth that J. S. Bach did not write this piece. A brief summary of the supporting evidence for this theory can be read here: http://ift.tt/1U27VLD Q: Where can I get the mp3 of this? A: You can download it here: http://ift.tt/1Jf0Exz Q: What does the piece look like as a whole? A: There are versions you can print out here http://ift.tt/1U27VLE The 'scroll' version is for cutting out and taping together to form a long strip. Q: Where can I get the MIDI file that this was made from? A: I'm not sure it's exactly the same, but the closest I could find was this: http://ift.tt/1Jf0CpB Q: How did you make this video? A: You can read about it here: http://ift.tt/1pUaAby Q: What is the BWV number for this? A: BWV 565 Q: Where does the toccata end and the fugue begin? A: The fugue starts at 2:51 and the toccata returns at 7:12, but between these two points, parts which are strictly fugal alternate with episodes that are more toccata-like, so it's not 100% clear-cut (like in some other toccata/fugue pairs he wrote). Q: What do the colors mean? A: Each "stop" on the organ was played on a separate MIDI channel, and each MIDI channel was assigned a color. Q: What is a fugue? A: Here is a good introduction: http://ift.tt/1uZoo34 Q: Can I get a DVD with this video (or others like it)? A: Yes: http://ift.tt/1U27T6x Q: Could you please do a video of _________? A: See: http://ift.tt/1489XvU Q: Where can I read more about this piece? A: Here are a couple of places: http://ift.tt/1U27VLG http://ift.tt/1U27T6z Q: Why does this piece of music remind me of horror movies? A: Because it was used in the 1962 version of The Phantom of the Opera. Before that, it did not have that connotation. When Walt Disney and Leopold Stokowski used it in the 1940 film Fantasia, they considered it to be a purely abstract piece --- "absolute music" --- which brought to mind expressionistic forms and lines.

Parsing John Ch. 1 Pt. 1 Verses 1-2 (Koine Greek Pt. 1)

Parsing John Ch. 1 Pt. 1 Verses 1-2 (Koine Greek Pt. 1)
This is Part 1 of John Chapter 1, Verses 1-2, the Greek edition. The next video will cover the same passage in the Vulgate. This video is for current and former Greek students who have, like me, let their skills wane and or for those who want to take a closer look at biblical passages. We will be slowely working through John Chapter 1 in the Koine Greek by parsing each of the words and putting together a very rough translation. I pulled the text from Perseus Project and checked it against my personal copy of the New Testament.
