Brief History of Bach

<Tab/>The composer I have chosen is Johann Sebastian Bach. The particular work that I have enjoyed the most is called: "Cantata No.80, A Mighty Fortress is Our God," on the first disc of the Norton Recordings. I enjoyed this the most because of the vocal melodies and harmonies of the singers. It is an easy song for me to relax to. I found myself listening to that song at night …

…amp;gt;After composing and conducting for the court orchestra at Cothen for seven years, Bach was offered the highly prestigious post of cantor of St. Thomas' Church in Leipzig. Bach would remain at his post in Leipzig until his death in 1750. <Tab/>Even after he was plagued with eye problems that almost left him blind, Bach managed to continue writing brilliant pieces of music until the very day he died.
