Listening to the chaconne is as rich and layered an experience as the story behind the music. Whatever meaning you ascribe to the chaconne — personal, civic, divine, or none at all — it's certain to leave its mark.

Johann Sebastian Bach's chaconne has been arranged for nearly every instrument: from the ominous-sounding organ to the solo flute or the delightfully sparse marimba. Or, listen to these renditions by an enterprising clarinetist and an equally ambitious saxophonist. Or how about this menacing arrangement for trumpet and orchestra and this lyrical performance by two cellos. There is truly an arrangement for everyone.

But it's something spectacular when a great violinist performs the chaconne.

Tim Fain's live performance during Krista's conversation with Bernard Chazelle at WXQR's Bachstock is no exception. Before a full house at The Greene Space, he played Bach's chaconne, the fifth and final movement from Partita No. 2. As our executive editor Trent Gilliss observed, "It's a rarity and a privilege to be able to listen to a 15-minute violin solo without an orchestra." Especially a great performance like Tim Fain's, who is known for his electrifying recordings in Black Swan and 12 Years a Slave.

This performance is included in On Being's radio production, "Discovering the Cosmology of Bach" (http://www.onbeing.org/program/bernard-chazelle-discovering-the-cosmology-of-bach/7026)

01 Symphony No. 4 In B-Flat Major, Op. 60  I. Adagio - Allegro Vivace

Claudio Monteverdi, L'incoronazione di Poppea
Oblivion Soave ("Adagiati, Poppea")

Adagiati, Poppea,
Acquietati, anima mia:
Sarai ben custodita.
Oblivion soave
I dolci sentimenti
In te, figlia, addormenti.
Posatevi occhi ladri,
Aperti deh che fate,
Se chiusi anco rubate ?
Poppea, rimanti in pace;
Luci care e gradite,
Dormite omai dormite.
Amanti vagheggiat'
Il miracolo novo:
È luminoso il dì, sì come suole,
E pur vedete, addormentato il sole.
