Composer Study - Johann Sebastian Bach

A rich, easy-to-follow, 15-lesson study of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), one of the great composers of all time and one Charlotte Mason recommended for her students.   Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Art of Fugue, the Brandenburg Concertos, and the Goldberg Variations, and for vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor.

It includes audios for each type of musical composition, biographies of Bach and his family, helpful tips for listening and guidelines from Charlotte Mason’s writings.
