J.S. Bach Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (91–100)
Cantata No. 21 “My heart is drowned in sorrow” BWV 21Johann Sebastian Bach (arr. Virgil Fox)99rank/position

Cantata No.
21, “My Heart Swims in Sorrow,” has been described by Alfred Dürr, the foremost Bach scholar of the 20th century, as “the most monumental example among Bach’s early cantatas, and at the same time a farewell to that period.” The 79th movement, “God Is My Light, My Shield,” is set to lyrics expressing gratitude to God, who protects and saves humankind.
With its bright and majestic sonorities, it vividly conveys a sense of divinity and a mood overflowing with praise and joy.
Brandenburg Concerto No. 3J.S.Bach100rank/position

This is a signature work by Bach, one of the foremost musicians of 18th-century Germany, notable for its brilliant string timbres and rich expressiveness.
The joyous melodies woven by three groups of strings are perfect for a refreshing study break.
Its intricate counterpoint and lush harmonies are pleasing to the ear and help enhance concentration.
Presented in March 1721 to the Margrave of Brandenburg, this piece—scored solely for strings—conveys a noble, almost celestial quality.
Recommended as a quiet companion for long hours of study or reading, when you want to calm and center the mind.
