Johann Sebastian Bach: German Baroque Composer Who Sought to Glorify God


"Bach was the outstanding member of the greatest musical family the world has ever known.  His influence in music history has been one of health and strength.  Bach never wrote empty virtuosity; his music has content.  Listen to Bach, appreciate the richness and diversity of his music, but hear his message too."  

"Saint Matthew Passion is considered one of the richest and noblest sacred works.  It is the creation of a mind intimately familiar and profoundly moved by the Gospel text.  It is indeed one of civilization's imcomparable masterpieces."  (Jane Stuart Smith)
