Sebastian Bach, The Boy from Thuringia (Softcover)
Sebastian Bach, The Boy from Thuringia (Softcover)
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

Great living book series for composer study
Posted By: Jamie

Comments:
These books by Opal Wheeler are great fun for composer study. They are profusely illustrated with a picture on every other page. They include samples of the composer's musical scores. With copyright dates in the 1930's, I'm so glad to see these excellent living books come back into print after so many years. Now we don't have to hunt at library book sales and used book stores to find a copy of these heretofore out-of-print titles. Thank you Zeezok Publishing! Recommended for elementary age students, although all ages will enjoy them.
