A Baroque Birthday

Johann Sebastian Bach
March 31, 1685 - July 28, 1750
"To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear, to inform ordinary activities with spiritual fervor, to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral; to make divine things human and human things divine; such is Bach, the greatest and purest moment in music of all time."                                 ~ Pablo Casals
"If Bach is not in Heaven.....I am not going!"                           William F. Buckley
