Desert Fugue

7/15/2016

 
by Rebecca Cochran
 
In the 2010 documentary film, Desert Fugue, Bach historian, Christoph Wolff and organist, George Ritchie explore Bach’s Art of Fugue in its many facets. They discuss the piece itself, the instrument(s) that Bach may have written it for and the broader aspects of how this work advanced western music.

Enjoy this short clip from the documentary with George Ritchie describing his teacher, the legendary German organist, Helmut Walcha.

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
