A: Because it was used in the 1962 version of The Phantom of the Opera. Before that, it did not have that connotation. When Walt Disney and Leopold Stokowski used it in the 1940 film Fantasia, they considered it to be a purely abstract piece --- "absolute music" --- which brought to mind expressionistic forms and lines. .

Bach: "Ich habe genug" (BWV 82a) / Nancy Argenta
9th January

Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=oJsS_b39YOc&fmt=18 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750). Cantata "Ich Habe Genug" (BWV 82): 1. Arie: Ich habe genug, Ich habe den Heiland, das Hoffen der Frommen, Auf meine begierigen Arme genommen; Ich habe genug! Ich hab ihn erblickt, Mein Glaube hat Jesum ans Herze gedrückt; Nun wünsch ich, noch heute mit Freuden Von hinnen zu scheiden. 1. Aria: I have enough, I have taken the Savior, the hope of the righteous, into my eager arms; I have enough! I have beheld Him, my faith has pressed Jesus to my heart; now I wish, even today with joy to depart from here. Ensemble Sonnerie. Soprano: Nancy Argenta. Dir: Monica Huggett. Ich habe genug (I have enough) is a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. In Wolfgang Schmieder's catalogue of Bach's works, it is BWV 82. It was written in Leipzig for the Feast of the Purification on 2 February 1727. The Purification commemorates an incident recorded by St. Luke in which Mary takes the baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to offer ritual sacrifices. The piece is written for oboe, strings, basso continuo and bass soloist. Other versions exist for soprano (as BWV 82a) with the oboe part replaced by flute and slightly altered. In modern practice, the bass part is sometimes replaced by an alto and the soprano is sometimes replaced by a tenor. Several movements from this cantata can be found transcribed in the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, transposed up a tenth so that they are singable by a low soprano, presumably done by Anna Magdalena Bach for her own use.
