Not to intimidate yourself with the advanced harmonic and theoretic concepts.
Not to think "I will never be able to write something like that myself". Instead, it will inspire you to try your hand at harmonizing various hymns and chorales in the style of Bach.

My new course on analyzing Bach choral harmonizations will help you do this.
