　以下、ちょっとした臨時一人題名のない音楽会だ。
　バッハの音楽は、18世紀初期におけるドイツのルター派の小難しい保守的な音楽だが、にもかかわらず、それは超革新性と普遍性を帯びているって。↓
　・・・That Bach’s music was later deemed an emblematic achievement of our species would have shocked his contemporaries. He was in many ways a provincial composer situated in the specific religious and musical traditions of German Lutheranism in the early 18th century.
　＜ニーチェがまさに上掲センテンスの前段に相当することを言っている。↓＞
　This seemed to be Nietzsche’s sentiment in 1878 when he wrote, “In Bach there is too much crude Christianity, crude Germanism, crude scholasticism. At the threshold of modern European music… he is always looking back toward the Middle Ages.”・・・

　In 1851, in Limavady, County Londonderry, music collector Jane Ross was moved by a beautiful tune she heard from a violinist across the street. It was O’Cahan’s Lament.

　＜1913年に、イギリス人法廷弁護士が、自分が書いてあった歌詞を修正し、この曲をくっつけて発表した。↓＞
　Fred Weatherly, an English barrister who moonlighted as a songwriter, had written lyrics for a song named Danny Boy in 1910.
　His Irish-American sister-in-law Margaret Weatherly sang him the melody of the Londonderry Air.
　Fred adapted his lyrics to the tune to create Danny Boy, which was published in 1913. ・・・
　＜それが、アイルランド人の間に広まった。↓＞
　Although the lyrics were written by an Englishman, who allegedly never set foot in the country, the familiarity and local origin of the melody all but ensured Danny Boy’s popularity in Ireland.
