Welcome to 'Composer’s Classroom,' a new on-air/online/in-classroom partnership between WMHT-FM and the Mohonasen Central School District!
WMHT's 'Composer of the Month' for March is Johann Sebastian Bach.
Johann Sebastian Bach was born in 1685 in Eisenach, which is in present-day Thüringen, Germany. Although Bach received formal lessons, his virtuosity was largely self-taught. When Bach was nine-years-old, he attended the wedding of his oldest brother, Johann Christoph, where he met Johann Pachelbel, composer of the famous Pachelbel Canon. Bach had 20 children. With his first wife (and second cousin!) Maria Barbara Bach, he had seven children, and his second wife, Anna Madgalena Bach, bore 13 children. Several of his sons, most notably Johann Christian and Carl Phillip Emmanuel, went on to be as famous as their father.
