We're Letting Our Hair Down

This is JS Bach week at our house. We've gotten lots of things from our public library and are reading about Bach, listening to tapes about his life, and quizzing each other at meals.
Most importantly, we are listening enthusiastically to his music all week!




This is his family's crest. How might you tell that it belongs to him??

How many JSBs can you see?


Here's a sample of his music written in his own hand.

Do you know how many children he had?? =)

What country was he born in?

What instruments could he play?

Lastly,
What piece of his music is your favorite?
I haven't decided this one myself.

His music definitely brings glory to the Lord!
