Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Bach Sleeps in on Sundays
Having dedicated most of his life to serving God and the Lutheran Church, Johann Sebastian Bach also composed remarkable and enduring secular music, particularly during the five years (1717-1722) he spent working for Prince Leopold. During this time, he created the cello suites, violin sonatas and partitas, and the Brandenburg Concertos. Bill chronicles this intensely creative period in the life of JS Bach.
