Johann Sebastion Bach
Musical Genius
of the High Baroque
Spiritual
& Music Mentor to nearly
all composers
from his day to the present.
He achieved
immeasurable excellence . Bach's
inventiveness in melody, counterpoint, harmony, rhythm
& form bring
tears of profound
emotional, mental & mathematical
joy to so many
composers and music analysts.
His musical spirituality (personality?)
identifies within ourselves the
very best understanding of
our relationship with the
universe. We owe ourselves
and our craft the
very best study we
have time for, of the music of this musician
who humbly composed "To The Glory Of God."
