Johann Sebastian Bach

And this week... J.S Bach!

Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany, When he was 10, both his parents died. He was brought up by his older brother.

People thought of Bach as just an ordinary working musician. He was not popular. No one really knew much about his music until 100 years after his death, when another composer, Felix Mendelssohn, conducted a performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion.

He died when he was 65. he has a problem with his eyes. When he died he was totally blind.

Listen to his two most popular compositions and REMEMBER THEIR NAMES:

BADINERIE:

TOCATA Y FUGA:

Bach is now seen as one of the greatest geniuses in music history. He wrote all kinds of music -- for organ and other keyboard instruments, orchestras, choirs, and concertos for many different instrumental combinations.

I imagine you don't have a drum set at home, don't worry, you can play the rhythm of the bass drum with your right fist ✊ and the snare drum with the left palm✋

Let's start with a simple rhythm! Just crotchets.

Now, the bass drum plays quavers 🎵

This pattern combines the last two.

Similar to the last one.

The following four patterns are used to mark changes.

Remember to use different hands for each color.

Can you move both hands at the same time?

Who said that opera is boring?

"Noi siamo zingarelle" belongs to La traviata, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi.
Even though the first performance of the piece was a failure, today the opera has become immensely popular and is a staple of the standard operatic repertoire.
