Happy Birthday JS BACH

Today Anne (my daughter who's soon to be a teen!!!) performed with her cello teacher and studio in a concert for a local nursing home. Music has healing and calming qualities especially music from the baroque era (including the genius JS Bach). Baroque music is very complex mathematically (not emotionally like Stravinsky) and with it's often 60 beats per minute it invites the listener's heart to slow down and relax! This is a little Bach Minuet, not so complex but just right for these students. Hope you enjoy listening. Anne is in the middle of the back row of cellists.



Peace,
Yvette

That was beautiful. Tell Anne that Jack enjoyed "seeing" her again. :) Jack is just learning about Bach in Kindermusik - what a timely post.
