Bach was an amazing musician in his lifetime and can still be found in life today. In the article "Reinventing Bach" by Paul Elie the story of how Bach plays a role in Albert Schweitzer's life is told. The story can be summarized as such: Albert had a passion for music especially Bach's music, but instead went into medicine and was inspired to help the poor. At an old age, Schweitzer decided that he was going to made albums of Bach's music played on the organ; his favorite being Fugue in D minor and use the profits to fund for clinics in Africa where he worked.

I really enjoyed this article because I too share an appreciation and joy for Bach and most other music. It is inspiring and can effect a person deeply. Although I may not be as talented as Schweitzer is in music, but I do enjoy enveloping my time in music as he did. Through reading this article I feel inspired to look into a personal future somehow involving music whether it be singing in church or learning to play the piano.
I love Bach and any classical music for that matter. I always enjoyed playing one of his pieces in my band class. I found this post interesting:)
ReplyDeleteI must admit I'm not the biggest fan of classical music, but I can appreciate the dedication and talent it takes to create. Band and music classes also gave me the opportunity to be exposed to this artist and I never knew the full story on his life so this article is quite intriguing. His story is very inspiring and I hope that you are able to pursue something in music as well! :)
