Johann Sebastian Bach has been called the father of Western music; precise and incredibly prolific - his works fill 52 volumes. He was an obstinate but nevertheless modest man and the outstanding tributes paid to his work more than a 100 years after his burial in an unmarked grave, would have probably amused him. This biodrama traces the development of his life and work and is copiously illustrated with examples of his music. Bach was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for his orchestral music such as the Brandenburg Concertos:; instrumental compositions keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations and The Well Tempered Clavier; organ works such as the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Credits: Narrator : John Ringham. Bach: Gary Hope. Other parts: Michael Burrell, Michael Kilgarriff. Bach Portrait Wiki Commons.
George Frideric Handel was a German/British Baroque composer who in 1737, addressed the English middle class and made a transition to English choral works. After his success with Messiah (1742), he never composed an Italian opera again. His orchestral Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks remain steadfastly popular. One of his four coronation anthems, Zadok the Priest, has been performed at every British coronation since 1727. Almost blind, he died in 1759, a respected and rich man, and was given a state funeral at Westminster Abbey. (Wikipedia). This biodrama is a portrait in words and music of one of the world's truly great composers. A man who gained fame in a land far from his birthplace. Handel was rewarded with glory and honour in his lifetime, and his music lives on in opera house, church and concert hall. His famous 'Largo' is generally accepted as being one of the best loved melodies in the world...Credits: Handel: Michael Kilgarriff. Other parts: Nigel Lambert. Handel portrait Wiki Commons.
