The Bach Bass Code:
General Bass Rules - Norman Schmidt -pdf
The bass of the verse is G then D then F then C and repeat.
The melody is D G G C bB bass G
(bB) G G C C bB bass D
(bB) G G C bB bass F
A G G bass C
It follows that the intervals which sound fantastic are non trivial, sophisticated.
Bass D with bB ie the interval of major 6th, code D6
Bass F with G ie the interval of major 9th, code F9
Bass C with A ie the interval of major 6th, code C6
It is a blessing that listener's throughout the world appreciate this.
After all it what we feel when we listen.
