A quick behind-the-scenes look at how I'm hand-animating light, shadow, and time passing for the upcoming video about how J.S. Bach’s music was forgotten... and then triumphantly rediscovered. #Animation #ClassicalMusic #Bach #animated #series #2DAnimation #shorts youtube.com/shorts/25kHt...

If you'd like to have an idea how hard animation is, I've spent an entire morning just to draw this one puppet. Now let's try and bring her to life... The woman in question is Bella Salomon. I'm not giving you any more clues so you'll have to guess what this episode will be all about. 😁

In 1724, the Leipzig City Council asked J.S. Bach for some "modest background music" for Good Friday. What he gave them instead shocked the congregation and nearly cost him his job. This new 20-minute animated film tells the story of the St John Passion... youtu.be/cj91WO9nS8E

Bach the Animated Series – a série de animação sobre a vida de Johann Sebastian Bach no YouTube | Bach Society Brasil

Peter Fielding dedicou quase sete anos de sua vida a um projeto monumental e independente: a Bach The Animated Series, disponibilizada no YouTube. Nesta primeira parte da entrevista exclusiva à Bach Society Brasil, Fielding revela como sua conexão pessoal com a obra de Bach e os desafios de uma produção solitária moldaram uma narrativa que vai além do mito, alcançando o Bach humano, desde seus primeiros e difíceis anos de formação.

Now that the Bach animated series is coming to a close, I'd like to pay homage to Dorothea, Bach’s eldest daughter, here wonderfully interpreted by Daria Nitu. This short tribute is for her and for anyone who's ever felt unseen, underestimated and who continue unabated when others forget to notice.

There are moments in life when silence is heavier than words, and solitude feels like a piercing blade. I'm walking through one of those moments now, quietly, with dignity, I hope. If you're struggling too: hold your head high, keep your heart open. Pain doesn’t define us, how we carry it does.

After a long absence, Dorothea will reappear in the closing episode of the series. Overshadowed in the history books, Dotty was likely the quiet pillar of the #Bach household. Her return is a tribute to those women who carry so much on their shoulders, often unseen, but never unimportant.
