Track 5: Michael Dierks - Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude

Explanation of Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude (download it here)

N.B: This track requires the latest version (1.2 beta) of the Windows Media Player Plug-In or version 5.1 of diPlayer. Please update your player from the Digimpro Downloads page.

This Bach choral, improvised by Michael Dierks, is a unique Digimpro production and experiment. We have 16 different structured versions (identified in the Player, A to P) and seven parts. We have two unique objectives with this song. The first is the ability to create interpretations; the reason that classical music aficionados buy music that is public domain and hundreds of years old is to hear how various world-class orchestras, halls, amphitheatres and conductors interpret and influence the original music. The second is to emulate the artistic nature of the baroque period, itself.

With this track, you can make intros before the choral. You can also make melody improvisations and choral improvisations. You can listen to this file for hours to find uniqueness in the versions that are hidden within the 16 different structures. It's like a baroque edifice or church: You should sit and watch and take in the contours for an entire day. The more you relax, the more you will find ornaments within and around the paintings, statues, etc. You will find hidden pockets of light or shadow. There are only two modern variations only. Good luck in finding them!

The sound quality is also unique. With headphones or speakers you can hear the breathing and airflow of the giant cathedral pipes. We have less parallel channels than in modern music, but more versions per channel.
