Kids Talk Church History

Johann Sebastian Bach


Listen Later

Music has played an important role in church history. In previous episodes, we've talked about many composers who wrote hymns specifically for the church. However, there were also musicians like Bach who wrote sacred and secular music for the glory of God. Bach's compositions covered a wide range of emotions and were filled with theological insights. Join Sophia, Trinity, and Linus as they talk to Dr. Paul Grime, professor of Pastoral Ministry and Mission at Concordia Theological Seminary, about this important composer and his faith.

 

Show Notes:

Bach's pieces that were mentioned in the podcast:

  1. Bach's Coffee Cantata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nifUBDgPhl4

  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XTCZ1iUQeQ

    1. The cantata movement with the plucking strings imitating the knocking at the door is Cantata 61 (BWV 61), based on the Advent hymn "Savior of the Nations, Come." The movement with the plucked strings begins at the 9:32 mark. The whole cantata is a great example of the genre.
