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.

Best of Studs Terkel

This Train, Part 1 (c. 1963)

Part one of “This Train,” WFMT’s annual remembrance of the 1963 civil rights March on Washington. Studs joined hundreds of Chicagoans on a train bound for Washington, D.C. He recorded their thoughts and experiences on his portable tape recorder, and wove those historic voices into this award-winning documentary.
