Iznimno djelo Nenada Bacha na dar Šibeniku povodom 950. rođendana grada
Nenad Bach, svjetski poznati glazbenik, skladatelj, koji je surađivao s nizom poznatih glazbenika, napravio je što je Šibeniku obećao – poseban ambijentalni zvučni pozdrav Krešimirovom gradu za njegov 950. rođendan.
Riječ je o djelu u kojem se čuju zvona svih šibenskih zvonika, glasovi sudionika i gledatelja predstava koje su se prikazivale u sklopu ovogodišnjeg Međunarodnog dječjeg festivala.
Ovo iznimno djelo premijerno se moglo čuti u eteru lokalnih radija u jutarnjim satima ovog četvrtka, 30. lipnja. Paralelno s puštanjem glazbe u eter, na šibenskim ulicama mogla su se uživo čuti zvona šibenskih crkava.
Podsjetimo, slavni hrvatski glazbenik, Nenad Bach već dugi niz godina živi i radi u New Yorku, a ovih dana boravi u Šibeniku gdje vodi glazbenu dječju radionicu uz pomoć asistenta Ante Prgina.  Bach i njegovi učenici svakoga dana u 9.50 sati imaju promenadu ulicama Šibenika, bubnjaju i uzvikuju 900, 900, 900, – 50.

Šibenik was mentioned for the first time under its present name in 1066 in a Charter of the Croatian King Petar Krešimir IV. It was a seat of this Croatian King.
For that reason, Šibenik is also called “Krešimirov grad” (Krešimir’s city). Šibenik is the oldest native Croatian town on the shores of the Adriatic sea,
founded more than four centuries before the discovery of America.

 
Nenad Bach svira ‘I will follow you’ na orguljama iz 17. st. u Šibeniku
Nenad Bach, proslavljeni hrvatski pjevač, skladatelj i izvođač koji je tijekom svoje uspješne međunarodne umjetničke karijere surađivao s Lucianom Pavarottijem, Bonom Voxom iz grupe U2, Brianom Enom, Richiem Havensom, Garthom Hudsonom i Rickom Dankom iz slavne grupe “The Bend” koja je bila prateći band Boba Dylama, Vinceom Welnickom iz legendarnog banda “Grateful Dead”, glumcima Martinom Sheenom, Michaelom Yorkom, Johnom Malkovichem i mnogim drugima, sudionik festivala “Woodstock 94” i autor kompilacijskih albuma Brucea Springsteena, Leonarda Cohena i Allena Ginsberga, u crkvi sv. Duha u Šibeniku otpjevao je, prateći se na drevnim orguljama iz 1640. godine, svoju pjesmu “I Will Follow You”.
Zanimljivo je da je Nenad Bach iako nije pijanist, a s crkvenim orguljama se susreo prvi puta, uspio besprijekorno svirati svoju skladbu nakon kratke poduke koju je dobio od Božidara Grge, šibenskog čuvara povijesnih glazbenih instrumenata i voditelja Orguljaške ljetne škole.
Bio je to nevjerojatan glazbeni i umjetnički događaj koji je protekao intimno, bez publike, ali je bez sumnje označio početak suradnje dvojice istinskih zaljubljenika u glazbu i hrvatsku glazbenu baštinu – Nenada Bacha i Božidara Grge.
Nenad Bach, poznat je u svijetu kao producent s posebnim interesom za dokumentiranje fascinantne, ali malo poznate glazbene tradicije njegove domovine, Hrvatske.
Njegov najnoviji rad su četiri nova SACD-a (Super Audio CD-a) a capella glazbe iz Hrvatske nastala u suraddnji s klapama “Sinj”, “Novalja” i “Luka” te ansamblom “Linđo”. To nije prva suradnja Nenada Bacha s hrvatskim glazbenicima. Od ranije su poznati njegovi iznimno cijenjeni a cappella albumi “Vatra na moru” s klapom “Fortunal”, zatim “Za Križen”, zbirku korizmenih napjeva nastalih na temelju 600 godina starih gregorijanskih napjeva s otoka Hvara, te CD “Novaljo, Novaljo”, klape “Novalja”. Osim toga pamte se i njegovi emotivni nastupi u hrvatskom gradu heroju, Vukovaru.
Nenad Bach je kreator i glavni urednik CROWN (Hrvatska svjetska mreža, www.croatia.org), a 2006. godine ga je magazin “Globus” svrstao među 100 najutjecajnijih Hrvata u svijetu.
To je samo djelić karijere i umjetničkog opusa Nenada Bacha koji kroz svoje pjesme širi poruku radosti i mira u svijetu.
On je u Šibeniku gost Međunarodnog dječjeg festivala na kojem vodi glazbenu radionicu, a priprema i posebni glazbeni performance u povodu obilježavanja 950. obljetnice prvog spomena imena Šibenika u povijesnim izvorima.

I Will Follow You
From the album Everything Is Forever
Too many leaders no one to follow
Too many clouds not enough rain
Too many words and promises, too hard to swallow
Too many innocent die in vain
I can tell you how it used to be
Let me write another melody
I can tell you how it used to feel
When we stood up for what we believed
So, I will follow you. I will follow you.
Too many bankers not enough money
If it wasn’t serious, it would be funny
Too many artists not enough art
Too much marketing not enough heart.
I can tell you how it used to be
Let me write another melody
I can tell you how it used to feel
When artists stood up for what we believed
So, I will follow you. I will follow you.
Too many children not enough fathers
Too many clowns not enough laughter
Too many people, not enough souls
Not enough windows too many walls.
I can tell you how it used to be
Let me write another melody
I can tell you how it used to feel
When we stood up for what we believed
So, I will follow you. I will follow you.

Renaissance Cathedral of Sv. Jakob in Šibenik, top monument of Croatian culture
The St. Jacob’s, the cathedral of Šibenik, built for over a century, is a testimony of persistency, sacrifice and belief of the generations of inhabitants of Šibenik.
By many things it is unique not only in the Croatian architecture, but in the European as well: it is entirely built of stone, no other material being used; it is unique by the brave structure of stone slabs and ribs, with no binding material; it is also unique among renaissance churches by its trefoil front facade; finally, it is unique by the harmony of its architecture and the row of 71 realistic sculptural portraits around the apses.

Documents preserved from the time of building of the cathedral evidence contributions from the entire community to its building, but from many individuals as well, including large number of domestic stone-dressers, builders and artisans. The most important among them is Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac, who came from Zadar and who the town of Šibenik commissioned in 1441 to take over the job of the proto-master of the cathedral of Šibenik.
The cathedral and the nearby renaissance town hall, other churches, palaces, and the Prince’s Palace presently housing the County Museum, make probably the most beautiful town square of the Croatian urban heritage.
