Milan Connection

5/31/2016

 
​by Rebecca Cochran
 
Since I’m visiting Milan, I was curious as to whether any of the musical Bachs had spent time here. I did discover that J.S. Bach’s youngest surviving son, Johann Christian (1735-1782), lived in Italy for many years. He studied in Bologna, and then became organist at the Milan cathedral in 1760. While in Italy, Johann Christian composed several major works, including two Masses, a Requiem and a Te Deum.
 
J.C. Bach later established himself in England, premiering three operas at the King’s Theatre in London. He was married in London and lived there until his death.

I really love Bach's music. Especially his Ave Maria composition. Every composition he did was a masterpiece. Whenever I hear his music, I feel calm and relax. I hope I could visit Milan like you do, and learn more of his story.

    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!
