BWV 174

As I was listening to J. S. Bach's cantata BWV 174, I got the sense that I was searching for something — something just beyond my grasp. To me, the piece takes me on a journey — from jubilance, to sadness, to yearning, and more. As I listened to the piece, I found myself sketching a character on a journey, moving through different types of spaces like a quilt stitched together. I wonder if the character will find what they are searching for on this journey.
