In college, he was taking Algebra, and that was normal for the time. I had Algebra in sixth grade.
Dark music, heavy. Can be nice to listen to. I like it.

The ending of Umineko was a bit lacking to me but I loved the show overallQuote:

The anime only has the content of the first 4 episodes, when the novel and the manga have 8 episodes in total. Also the anime was a bad adaptation, it doesn't make sense alot of things. If you don't want to read the novel (too long), then the manga will be a more easy choice (you can read it on mangakakalot.com, remember it has 8 episodes). The ending won't let you down.Quote:

I know an ILI-N guy who says Bach has had a life-changing impact on him.Quote:

It's nice to hear that it can give more depth to your music experience. Did you self-study and was learning it difficult?Quote:

I'm guessing it might be the tendency of ILIs to appreciate religion and spirituality?Quote:

Yeah it's funny because educated people in Europe knew Latin in Bach's days. And of course all were Christians and knew the texts of the Mass and probably some theology too.Quote:

The music and the lyrics work together. So in the video you linked the choir sings "Gloria in excelsis Deo..." (Glory to God in heaven) with lots of energy like they really mean it, and then they continue with "...et in terra pax...", (and peace on earth), and at that moment the music changes and becomes softer and peaceful.
There is a cultural gap between our time and the time of Bach. But it isn't too hard to fix that gap.
Maybe because you are ILI? (and Bach is supposed to have been ILI himself). On the other hand, many people love Bach regardless of type.Quote:

Probably. He is an atheist as far as I know, but music is greater than these categories.Quote:

That's interesting! Didn't know Bach is a probable ILI too.Quote:

Casablancas gives me EII vibes in this.
