Bach may be important not just as a supreme historical figure in western culture, who did what he could with what he had, but also in the way he epitomises a particular mode of thinking, a complex of beliefs about how the world coheres that almost amounts to a musical form of holism. - John Butt

Recuperation and Revision
Posted today: chorales from the motets. Completes chorales from known cantatas and motets.
Slowly the routine is returning to normal. My back injury is healing; the revision is slowly resuming. Today I uploaded the final set of chorales from known cantatas and motets. Also included in the upload is BWV 1.6 for the Annunciation, which I accidently left out of the chronology.
An mp3 file was also uploaded for BWV 157.5, somehow it got missed in the chorales for the Purification of Mary.
The second part of the revision is the set of four part chorales from BWV 250 to 438. So 217 down and 188 to go.
