Bach.

As the grat Beethoven said
You are not river, you are sea
You are not world, you are universe
You are not a man, you are Bach

Your so complex notes
Oh ambiguous harmony
Your so celestial voices
O! great musical monster.

Under your notes of perfection
The old pianist rejoyses
Under your sharps and flats
The lazy student works.

In his way he meets some very interesting people like Friar Jorge of Burgos, who turns to be a strict and closed-mind monk and an omniscient chauvinist man.

The Composer Of the Week.

Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Thuringia, Germany in 1685 (the same year as Handel). His music has been admired and loved through the centuries. This man, whose mathematic is reflected in hundreds of works charged of baroque contra punt, has been the inspiration for posterior musicians. Today, his complex system and structure is the base for modern music.
Born in a family of musicians, at the death of his parents he went to live with his uncle Johann Christoph who was also his teacher in music studies . Johann Sebastian developed a strong ear for music and a great personality in composition. He studied a lot of different French and Italian composers to prepare to succeed in the beauty of arts and began to compose beautiful church works in a beautiful style we can admire today , style which was criticized by lots of people interested in a new kind of music, which was monophonically less artistic (different from Bach’s polyphonical perfection). Today, that kind of music is not listened nor admired, but Bach’s still in the peak of western music
