In today’s installment of my series of Beautiful Music in Difficult Times, we’re anticipating this weekend’s annual Bach Birthday Bash on Sunday Baroque. (March 22 program) Music was therapeutic for Johann Sebastian Bach – it helped him cope with his own personal challenges in life – from everyday struggles to significant losses – in addition to being his livelihood. Bach’s music is also therapeutic for many musicians who play it and for those of us who listen, and his MASS IN B MINOR is transcendent. Love and positive wishes to you. <3
