Bach

A large collection of music that was thought lost forever after the Second World War re-emerged in Kiev in 1999. Among its more than 5000 pieces of music is a collection of music composed by some of JS Bach’s predecessors that formed part of Bach’s estate. Join us on Harmonia for music of some Bachs you may not know.

The man with the powdered wig and the giant musical family turned 335 this Tuesday. We celebrate Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday with a show about his influence on classical music.

The last in our series of four programs about canon and fugue. This hour's devoted completely to Johann Sebastian Bach!

Join the Ether Game Brain Trust in exploring the history of improvisation in classical music and its departure from the tradition.

On this edition of Harmonia, we tune up strings of the violin, cello, viola da gamba, and lute, with music in scordatura, or alternate tunings, of strange and familiar instruments.
