Hello. This is Penguin coming to you live from Germany and the year here is 1785. Come with me and learn about the famous composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.
Johann is one of the greatest composers of all time and his life is very interesting. He was born on March 21, 1685 as the youngest of eight children in his family. Both of his parents died when he was ten years old, so he then went to live with his older brother who taught him to play the organ. Johann started school when he was 7 or 8 years old and he was a very good scholar.
Do you know that Bach was married two times? He was married first to his cousin and they had seven children together. After she died, he married again and had thirteen more children. Ten children died as infants, but four of his children became composers. Bach’s death is a sad story. His eyesight grew weak, so he had eye operations that made his eyes weaker. He died on July 28, 1750.
Bach had an interesting musical career. He learned to play a lot of instruments in his life. He played the viola, violin, organ, and harpsichord. He wrote compositions for a Duke and preformed in a orchestra. After Bach’s death, his works were forgotten until a composer named Felix Mendelssohn found and performed them.
Bach is such an outstanding composer. Join us tomorrow night at the downtown church for Bach’s next recital.
