Holy Dread

There was an article in The New Yorker about Bach's "holy dread." For me, holy dread is why I love Bach so much, especially his harpsichord and organ music. I also love that Bach can make even secular dance music overflow with this feeling, like this jig, which is so bizarre, upbeat and catchy but dripping in apocalyptic fury.
