Two Bach related links this week! I came across this article about Bach on NPR this week. It is a long and pretty insightful interview with conductor John Eliot Gardner that gets into how we can gather ideas about Bach's personality and life from his music, with musical examples!
Also, a video below from Stephen Malinowski's youtube channel. It is a treasure trove of these amazing videos of classical pieces made with his music-animation software. I showed the Toccata and Fugue to my 3rd and 4th graders this week for Halloween and they were totally entranced by watching the colors and the shapes fly by. A great way to experience music!
Hey Anthony!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pairing! It was neat to watch the video of the Fugue. I'm going to add this video to my website that I made for my students to visit. Thanks for sharing!
