The Bach Book

Excerpts from Daniel’s upcoming work, “Bach Book”: Interpreting the keyboard works of J.S. Bach; illuminating how Bach teaches us to find God - tracking Infinity’s manifestations in isomorphism and mapping its metaphysical implications into an abstract plexus and process -, and subsequently guiding us to bring aliveness, the breath of life, to Art through and during interaction with his creation. Click on a piece to read an excerpt of ‘The Bach Book’ referencing it.

All Bach Book material is available to private students and retreat attendees, and addresses the 2-Part and 3-Part Inventions as well as Preludes and Fugues from both Books I and II of the “Well-Tempered Clavier”

More ‘example passages’ being catalogued and edited, and available soon. Thank you for your patience! DJH

Bach Book begins from the premise that the function of Art itself is to allow Infinity - whose manifestations Humanity has ever taken account of (those phenomena, natures, states, conditions, factors, and forces indefinable, uncontrollable, unknowable, dual, paradoxical, enigmatic, beyond-rational etc.)-, into Human expression. That it is in the abstract world that we are able to reflect, discuss, embody, include into process, and even explicitly track this ‘limitless’ aspect of our reality, in additional to all more ‘mundane’ aspects. Hence, the abstract environments of Art are a mapping of the physical world as it is when it includes Infinity; constituents of the abstract world act, interact, perceive, and are meaningfully perceivable according to the implications of Infinity. It is here in circumstances where Art is engaged as a means to expression for the explicit discussion of such metaphysical principles (as in Mythology, Spiritual/Religious Text, Allegory, Folk/Archetypal Literature/Story-Telling…and then in less obviously metaphysical presentations, like the works by J.S. Bach), that we can infer the immeasurable value in learning to perceive, to meaningfully comprehend, and to uniquely identify with the isomorphic property/quality-mapping patterns/relationships existing between the energetic variables which make up this ‘everything’-including abstract world. To witness relationships which map a life-experience sacred, passed unto posterity by our wisest ancestors and reflecting a world which includes the Infinite, and so the limitless potential for meaning/truth in an everchanging plexus; a magical interrelatedness. Join me in learning to perceive, interact with, interpret, and so gain access to this vast breadth of creation particularly utilized for the passing of information pertaining to a branch of knowledge most-significant, consequential, fundamental, perspective-granting, Human, redefining, and nourishing; to give and receive, to consequentially interact and so to live and grow in the abstract world utilized by all artforms and spiritualities.

Sincerely, DJH
