The most valuable prize in music competitions is always the amazed and participating audience. This was no different 75 years ago, when the Bach world commemorated the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and the Bach Competition was held for the first time in Leipzig, the site of the central celebrations. Brahms, a connoisseur and admirer of Bach's music, paid homage to it in various ways. Honegger's Symphony No. 2, written during the occupation of Paris in 1941, reflects the composer's distress over the world war. The finale, infused with Bach-like polyphony, culminates in a trumpet fanfare and a chorale melody radiating hope and reconciliation.

How does spirit enter sacred music, Mr. Lauster? Not only sacred works are ingenious, inspire, and uplift. We readily attribute "spirit" to musical phenomena, to the inexplicable in art and other areas of existence. When is this justified and when not? Is the invisible phenomenon of sound, music, particularly predestined as a dwelling place of spirit and spirits? Myths, not only from the Christian cultural sphere, suggest this. The Protestant theologian Jörg Lauster, holder of the Chair of Dogmatics, Philosophy of Religion, and Ecumenism in Munich and author of fundamental books on Christianity, has dedicated a "biography" to the Holy Spirit and traces the "enchantment of the world" through art and culture.
