Johann
Sebastian Bach
A
composer study by Katrina Lybbert
| This study is planned to last 5 weeks. The first week we read aloud the chapter on Johann Sebastian Bach in Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers by Patrick Kavanaugh. We then choose one musical composition by Bach to listen to during the week. The selection can be played as background music during mealtimes. We choose a different musical composition of this composer to listen to each week, and our five selections are listed below. We also read biographies, watch video recordings, listen to audio recordings, or research information about this composer on the internet, for the remaining 4 weeks of study. Resource suggestions we have found and liked are listed below. |
