5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent video for classroom use
This video is an excellent resource for use in high school music classrooms. The interviews are insightful and very enthusiastic. The people interviewed make it clear that they love and are in awe of Bach. The length is relatively short (about 30 minutes)--this makes it an excellent choice for use in the classroom.

This hardly does justice to the title, "Serving God Through Music", where one would expect illustrative examples of Bach's cantatas as well as excerpts of his St. Matthew and St. John Passions and the Mass in B Minor.

The people interviewed make it clear that they love and are in awe of Bach. The length is relatively short (about 30 minutes)--this makes it an excellent choice for use in the classroom. (Topics covered include Brandenburg Concertos, large scale vocal works --passions and masses, and Bach's life)
