Bach’s inexplicably beautiful cantata, Gottes Zeit Ist Die Allerbeste Zeit or Actus Tragicus. Everything from the movements to the orchestration is perfect. Sir John Eliot Gardiner has justifiably recommended this cantata for anyone suffering a bereavement. Bach knew mourning time and time again in his life, and his treatment of death through music is a tragic yet profound reminder of how he channeled that grief into sublime music.
