The Many Colours Of Bach

There is a silence in some Of those famous paintings That grace our museums. Portraits silently looking Back at you, what were they Thinking while being painted? Poetry found in the volumes Of works that capture the Hearts and souls who Lovingly read them. But It is music, particularly Classical music, that Vibrates the soul with colour. None more so than Bach. In his rich tapestry of Music there is a palette of Colours, a rich mosaic That wipes over the black And white of the music score. Such as the rich layers of the Brandenbergs, particularly Brandenberg 2 with each Instrument not only part of The ensemble but playing Solo in its own right adding Colour on top of colour. Then there's Brandenburg 5 Where the harpsichord Takes over from the flute And violins for several bars Before allowing the other Instruments back in to play. Listening to Bach has the Iridescence of infinite space, The beauty of a Shakespeare Sonnet with the awesomeness Of Michelangelo's famous Painting of the Sistine chapel.
