Sebastian Bach, The Boy from Thuringia
Back
in print! We love the Wheeler & Deucher composers` series from the
mid-20th century. This classic work for children will be enjoyed by all
family members. We are amazed how much history, biographical material,
and music are included in each work. Sebastian Bach, The Boy of
Thuringia is the first complete work on the life of Bach ever written
for children. Every important incident is mentioned and every detail of
the story is true. It is filled with vivid descriptions of Bach's
childhood: how he sat up many nights and copied music by the light of
the moon, and how he walked two hundred miles to a choir school at
Luneburg. Then his adult life: how he helped his wife Magdalena put the
twenty children to bed every night; how he spread brown bread with honey
for them to eat every afternoon; and how he taught them all to sing and
play different musical instruments. The music reproduced here represents
all of the different kinds of music that Bach ever wrote. A child can
never really know music unless he knows Bach, for his contribution is
the foundation and structural basis of all music. But it is more the
human side of this book that will make it live, for in it the great
master breathes. All who read it will know him not only as a musical
genius, but also as an eager child, an affectionate father, and a
lovable human being. Softcover. Author/Publisher: Opal Wheeler & Sybil
Deucher. Page count: 127.
