I’m loving this!😛 There are still new pieces of Classical Music new to me & this is the case here! From the first notes, I knew I loved this! Thanks for posting this, @Contused 🙂 I’m at 12:30 as I post this & will carry on listening to the end. Have to note the time because the video will start from the beginning again when I press the reply button & the page reloads!🙄
 
Ah! At about 20 mins in & realising it’s a choral piece too! Lovely! 😛

Listening on the iPad while I type & post on the iPhone! In case your wondering.🙄

Oh! I just blew up the backdrop picture on the video & it’s NOT Johan Sebastian Bach, as I assumed! This is a new composer, to me!🙄
 
Aww! Absolutely loved that, @Contused 😛

That’s the second completely new, to me, composer I’ve discovered recently.

The first was Louise Farrenc symphony no. 2 first movement.1804 to 1875 I discovered on Classic FM & posted. I’ve since heard other pieces, also on Classic FM, by said composer!

The second one is Carl Philpp Emanuel Bach you, @Contused have posted!

I’ve said it before: how do you search for something on youtube if you don’t know it’s there! I CAN search for more by this composer NOW that you’ve introduced me! Thanks very much!🙂
 
Ah! Just ggogled him! The third son of Johann Sebastian Bach! Like father; like son!🙄

I use Wikipedia for research purposes on topics that interest me. For instance…

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March 1685 – 28 July 1750)

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (8 March 1714 – 14 December 1788)

I was drawn to CPE Bach's Magnificat as I'd sung a much shorter version as a chorister many years ago at school. I discovered that JS Bach also composed a version, which is well worth playing.
 
Everything's gonna be all right
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
