Great Thinkers Datebook: March 21
Johann Sebastian Bach or JS Bach (1685-1750), German Protestant Baroque composer, was born March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, North Germany. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a court musician.
He is considered one of the greatest composers that ever lived.
Bach's music echoes who he is - as a musician-thinker and as a man - a superb baroque composer famous for counterpoint, physically and emotionally strong, a religious man who dedicated all his works for the greater glory of God, and a family man who enjoyed his family immensely.
His music shines with warmth and great confidence.
