Who was Bach?

Hello there friends,

I have been researching Johanna Sebastian Bach a composer in the 18th century.

Here are some facts that I found interesting.....

~ Bach was Christian.

~ He was the father of 20 children. 10 died in infancy.

~ He mostly worked with the organ.

~ He sometimes worked with the harpsichord. (I have a picture of one below).

~ One of Bach's large works, Mass in B minor was not preformed in his lifetime. The first time it was played was in the 19th century.

~ Was referred to as the father of all music.



Here is a picture of a Flemish harpsichord.....


Isn't the artwork stunning?




I hope you have a wonderful day.....


Love and prayers,

Hannah Blow




The aim and final end of all music should be none other than
the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.

~ Johann Sebastian Bach
